Our both manufacturing facilities are accredited with AS 9001D, BS EN ISO 9001 and ISO 45001:2018.
Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our business, results of operations and financial condition are affected by a number of factors, including:
1. Economic conditions in the markets in which we operate
Our financial performance is closely tied to economic conditions across our key markets, including India, United States, Germany and United Kingdom. We generate our revenue from the sale of high precision engineered products including aero tooling, ground support equipment, electro-mechanical sub-assemblies and other precision engineered components, primarily to several global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), focusing on sectors such as aerospace, defence, semiconductor, and energy. Our product exports aggregated to 331.01 million, 896.45 million, and 2038.49 million, contributing 91.06%, 95.20%, and 97.64% of our total revenue from operations for Fiscals 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Our export business is dependent on the performance of our customers who operate in industries such as aerospace, defence, semi-conductor and energy. The following table sets out our revenue from operations by geographical spread for the financial years / periods indicated:
(in million, except percentages)
Geography |
Fiscal 2024 | Fiscal 2023 | Fiscal 2022 | |||
Revenue from operations ( million) | % of total revenue from operations | Revenue from operations ( million) | % of total revenue from operations | Revenue from operations ( million) | % of total revenue from operations | |
India | 49.26 | 2.36 | 45.21 | 4.80 | 32.48 | 8.93 |
United States | 1,924.57 | 92.19 | 724.18 | 76.91 | 277.64 | 76.38 |
Germany | 113.41 | 5.43 | 172.18 | 18.28 | 51.50 | 14.17 |
United Kingdom | Nil | Nil | Nil | Nil | 0.91 | 0.25 |
Others | 0.50 | 0.02 | 0.09 | 0.01 | 0.96 | 0.27 |
Total |
2087.75 | 100.00 | 941.66 | 100.00 | 363.49 | 100.00 |
We are exposed to fluctuations in the performance of the industries to which we supply our products across the mentioned regions. The markets where we operate in India may experience different dynamics and be subject to distinct market and regulatory developments compared to other global markets. Further, the industries served by our customers have historically exhibited significant periodic fluctuations in overall demand for end goods, leading to corresponding variations in demand for our products. The timing and duration of these industry cycles are inherently unpredictable. The production and sales of the end goods for which we provide products are influenced by numerous external factors beyond our control. These include changes in government policies, shifts in consumer preferences, fluctuations in fuel prices, trends toward aircraft electrification, demographic changes, employment and income levels, interest rates, disruptions in the supply chain, aging of aircraft, labour relations, regulatory requirements, availability and cost of credit, and broader economic and industry conditions.
Economic downturns or reductions in defence budgets can result in decreased demand for our products, which encompass specialized tools and components for aircraft and defence systems. For instance, fluctuations in global GDP, shifts in government defence expenditures, and changes in commercial airline activities directly impact our sales. We supply critical components to OEMs, as well as defence contractors, whose demand is influenced by these economic variables. Furthermore, economic instability can impede capital expenditure in the aerospace sector, potentially delaying or reducing investments in new technologies and infrastructure, thereby affecting our growth prospects.
2. Implementation of technologically advanced processes and innovation
The aerospace and defence sectors are characterized by rapid technological advancements. Our ability to innovate and adapt to new technologies is crucial for maintaining competitiveness. We believe that our growth over the years is attributable to our core capabilities, including our build to print and build to specification capabilities, which are supported by our technological prowess.
Our integrated design, engineering, and production capabilities, combined with expertise in collaboratively developing customized solutions for industries such as aerospace, defence, semi-conductor, and energy, have enabled us to deliver quality solutions to our domestic and global customers.
In case there are any other new technological developments discovered that significantly decreases the cost of production, in order to compete effectively, we may be required to replace our existing machines with the new ones and thereby incur additional capital expenditure, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Although we seek to identify trends and introduce new methods of engineering and equipment, we recognise that customer preferences cannot be predicted with certainty and can change rapidly, and that there is no certainty that such methods will be commercially viable or effective or accepted by our customers. Our failure to successfully adopt such technologies in a cost effective and a timely manner could increase our costs and lead to us being less competitive in terms of our prices or quality of products we sell which could significantly affect our results of operations and financial performance. Further, as our business is currently concentrated to a select number of significant customers, we may experience reduction in cash flows and liquidity if we lose one or more of our major customers or if the amount of business from them is significantly reduced for any reason.
3. Concentration of customers
Our financial performance has largely been driven by, and a key factor to our future success will be, our ability to continue to deliver value for our customers, increase our customer base, and deepen our relationships with our existing customers. Our experience in developing complex critical safety systems and solutions has led to established relationships with several customers.
We derived more than 95% of our revenue from operations from the sale of products to our top 10 customers in Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2024. The table below sets forth the revenue derived from our top 10 customers (determined based on revenue derived from such customers in Fiscal 2024) during the respective financial periods:
Particulars |
Fiscal 2022 | Fiscal 2023 | Fiscal 2024 | |||
Amount ( million) | % of total revenue from operations | Amount ( million) | % of total revenue from operations | Amount ( million) | % of total revenue from operations | |
Top 3 customers | 262.24 | 72.15% | 840.26 | 89.23% | 1964.32 | 94.09% |
Top 5 customers | 323.39 | 88.97% | 884.00 | 93.88% | 2021.01 | 96.80% |
Top 10 customers | 351.39 | 96.67% | 923.85 | 98.11% | 2076.25 | 99.45% |
Our top 10 customers include HYDRO Systems GmbH & Co. Kg, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited and Rhinestahl Corporation. These customers may not be our top 10 customers in each of the above Fiscals and the disclosure of names has only been made for such customers who have consented to being named. Remaining names from our top 10 customers are not mentioned in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus due to confidentiality reasons and non-receipt of consents.
Going forward, we expect the significance of our top ten customers to remain high. A change in our relationship with any of our significant customers will impact our business leading to a reduction in our sales. Furthermore, the loss of any of our top five customers, including as a result of any dispute with or disqualification by them, will have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. For further information, see Risk Factors - Internal Risk Factors 2. We are dependent on our top 10 customers who contribute more than 95% of our total revenue from operations in each of the last three Fiscals and the loss of any of these customers or a significant reduction in purchases by any of them could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. on page 29.
The demand of our top customers products has a strong influence on our revenue from operations as our sales are directly impacted by the production and inventory levels of our customers products. Increased sales of our customers products tend to increase our revenue from operations, while a slow-down in the demand for our customers products tends to lead to a lower revenue from operations. We expect the successful launches of new models by our top customers to positively impact our results of operations, increasing our revenue from operations from sale of our products. Accordingly, our revenue from operations has generally increased with the growth of our customers business over time.
Our sales of products to our customers also depend largely on the number and type of products that we supply to them, and our ability to increase our overall share of their purchases. The effect of variations in our customers purchasing patterns is dependent on the accuracy of order forecasts provided by them. It may be difficult for us to predict with certainty whether our customers will decide to increase or decrease the inventory levels or levels of production of a particular model to which we supply our products, the strategic direction they will pursue, when they might launch new models, or open new facilities, or whether future inventory levels will be consistent with historical levels. For instance, some are pursuing a strategy of localization of production for each market, while others are consolidating their global platforms in one or more low-cost manufacturing jurisdiction for eventual distribution to other countries. In addition, certain customers are seeking to consolidate their suppliers, particularly with suppliers who are able to manufacture complex and high-quality components, scale up production and supply products across a number of geographies. Any reduction in orders, delays in contract renewals, or changes in procurement strategies by these customers could materially affect our financial performance. Therefore, diversifying our customer base is essential to mitigate this risk. We are continuously exploring new markets and customer segments to reduce our dependence on a few major clients.
4. Ability to meet stringent quality standards and specific requirements of the customers
Our Company has existing relationships with global OEMs and licenses. As key customers typically have specific requirements, we believe that our continued relationships with these customers plays a significant role in determining our continued success and results of operations. Our ability to develop and deepen our relationships with our customers has accelerated our growth. We also focus on assisting customers meet their requirements across the spectrum of their engagement with us, including in terms of cost, productivity, product reliability and low time to market. This, together with our high delivery standards and performance excellence, has enabled us to acquire, service and deepen and lengthen our relationship with diverse range of high-level clients ranging from industry leaders to government undertakings.
Our domain expertise in various aspects such as precision engineering and ability to build to specifications, as well as our adoption of technologically advanced and cost-competitive manufacturing processes have been instrumental in obtaining repeat orders from our key customer group. Our ability to meet the stringent quality standards and performance requirements demanded by our customers is crucial, given the critical applications of our products in various industries. If we fail to deliver products or services that conform to customer specifications, we may be held accountable for repair or replacement costs of defective items.
Ensuring consistent compliance with these technical specifications and quality standards is essential to maintaining our supply capabilities. Failures to achieve or maintain such compliance could disrupt our ability to fulfill customer orders promptly, potentially harming our reputation and business. Financially, this could impact our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows, especially where insurance coverage may not suffice to cover all liabilities. Our contracts also obligate us to indemnify customers against liabilities arising from defects or damages in our products or services. Failure to adhere to contract terms, delivery schedules, specifications, or quality standards could lead to order cancellations, recalls, invocation of bank guarantees, warranty claims, indemnity demands, and financial penalties. Such instances can result in cost overruns, impact payment milestones, and detrimentally affect our business reputation and financial performance.
Our operations are subject to various risks, including manufacturing defects, equipment failures, and safety incidents. For instance, the precision required in producing components for MRO aircraft structure gantries, ground support equipment etc. necessitates stringent quality control measures. Implementing robust quality assurance processes and adhering to strict safety protocols are essential to minimize operational risks. Additionally, maintaining efficient production processes and managing operational costs are critical for profitability. We invest in machinery and continuous training for our workforce to ensure high standards of operational excellence and safety.
5. Supply chain and availability of raw materials
Our profitability depends upon our ability to efficiently procure various components, finished and semi-finished parts, subsystems, and raw materials such as steel, aluminium alloys, titanium alloys, composite materials, copper, castings, forgings, tools, gauges, standard parts and tools such as hoist ring, hydraulic cylinders, lifting slings & shackles, ball lock pins, key inserts, knobs & handles, bushes, bearings, hydraulic fittings, casters, screws & nuts and gear box, other base metals, and electronic components at competitive prices.
The prices of these materials are subject to cyclical fluctuations, supply and demand dynamics, and order quantities. Unexpected price increases or volatility in material costs may lead to actual costs differing from our estimates. We procure our raw materials, including steel, aluminium alloys, titanium alloys, composite materials, copper, castings, forgings, tools, gauges, standard parts, electronic components from third parties based on purchase orders and generally do not have firm commitments from our suppliers. The absence of long-term contracts at fixed prices and the need to maintain a continued supply of raw materials may make it difficult to resist price increases imposed by our suppliers. Consequently, our profitability could be adversely affected if we are unable to recover these increased costs from our customers. For more detailed information, please refer to the Risk factors section on Risk Factors Internal Risk Factors 22. Our business and profitability is substantially dependent on the availability and cost of our raw materials, and any disruption to the timely and adequate supply of raw materials, or volatility in the prices of raw materials may adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. We depend on these third-party suppliers of raw materials and do not have firm commitments for supply or exclusive arrangements with any of our suppliers and are required to pay advances from time to time. The absence of long-term contracts or exclusive arrangements and non-recovery of advances, exposes us to potential supply chain disruptions which could significantly impact our production capacity, leading to delays in order fulfilment and potential loss of revenue. on page 45.
6. Reliance on sales outside of India and foreign exchange rate risk
Although our Companys reporting currency is in Indian Rupees, we transact a significant portion of our business in several other currencies. Further, a large part of our revenues is derived from sales to customers based outside of India. In the Fiscals 2024, 2023 and 2022, our revenues from operations to customers based outside of India were 2,038.49 million, 896.45 million and 331.01 million, respectively, which represented 97.64% and 95.20% and 91.06%, respectively of our total income.
The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the currencies in which we receive payments for such exports, i.e., primarily the USD and Euro, has fluctuated in the past and our results of operations have been impacted by such fluctuations in the past and may be impacted by such fluctuations in the future. For further details, please refer to Certain Conventions, presentation of financial, industry and market data and currency of presentation on page 23 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Moreover, we expect that our cost of borrowing as well as our cost of imported raw materials, overseas professional costs, freight and other expenses incurred by us may rise during a sustained depreciation of the Indian Rupee against USD or Euro. Certain portions of our income and expenses are generated or incurred in other currencies and certain portions of our assets (trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents) and liabilities (trade payables and borrowings) are in other currencies, such as USD and Euro. Therefore, our exchange rate risk primarily arises from currency mismatches between our income and our expenditure which we seek to mitigate by matching income currency to expenditure currency to the extent possible. We do not have a formal hedging policy and accordingly, may be subject to foreign currency exposure and fluctuations in the exchange rates between the Indian Rupee and other currencies.
7. Competition
While our listed peers listed in India, like us, operate in the same industry and may have similar offerings or end use applications, our business may be different in terms of differing business models, different product verticals serviced or focus areas or different geographical presence or serving certain segments or sub-segments of our customer base. We believe that we have no peers that operate in the full spectrum of our product range, manufacturing capability, customer base, geographical market and price points. Our Company is a leading manufacturer of complex tooling, mechanical assemblies, electro-mechanical turnkey systems and precision components, widely used in the aeroengine and airframe tooling for production, MRO and line maintenance activities.
We have considered Azad Engineering Limited, Dynamatic Technologies Limited, MTAR Technologies Limited, Data Patterns (India) Limited and Paras Defence and Space Technologies Limited as listed peers, which are into the manufacturing of certain components used in the aerospace and defence industry.

Cash conversion cycle is calculated Days of inventory outstanding plus days of sales outstanding less days payables outstanding.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of our Financial Statements are set forth below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of measurement
The Restated Consolidated Financial Information have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for net defined benefit employee obligations which is measured at the present value of defined benefit obligation.
Current versus non-current classification
Based on the time involved between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Group has identified twelve months as its operating cycle for determining current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.
Presentation currency and rounding off
All amounts disclosed in Restated Consolidated Financial Information and notes have been rounded off to the nearest millions and decimals thereof, as per requirement of Schedule III of the Act, unless otherwise stated. Amounts mentioned as "0.00" in the denote amounts rounded off being less than one lakh rupees.
Basis of Consolidation
"The Restated Consolidated Financial Information comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2024.
Where the Group has control over an investee, it is classified as a subsidiary. The Group controls an investee if all three of the following elements are present:
(i) power over the investee,
(ii) exposure to variable returns from the investee, and
(iii) the ability of the investor to use its power to affect those variable returns.
Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control.
Restated Consolidated Financial Information are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. If a member of the Group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the Restated Consolidated Financial Information for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to that Group members financial statements in preparing the Restated Consolidated Financial Information to ensure conformity with the Groups accounting policies.
The Restated Consolidated Financial Information 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 ended on March 31. When the end of the reporting period of the parent is different from that of a subsidiary, the subsidiary prepares, for consolidation purposes, additional financial information as of the same date as the financial statements of the parent to enable the parent to consolidate the financial information of the subsidiary, unless it is impracticable to do so."
Consolidation procedure:
(a) Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiaries. For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised in the Restated Consolidated Financial Information at the acquisition date.
(b) Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parents investment in each subsidiary and the parents portion of equity of each subsidiary. Business combinations policy explains how to account for any related goodwill.
(c) Eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, are eliminated in full) intragroup losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the Restated Consolidated Financial Information.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income ("OCI") are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Groups accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Summary of material accounting policies
Property, plant and equipment
Property, Plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets 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 any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit and loss during the year in which they are incurred.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and the cost of assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under Capital work-in-progress.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Particulars |
Useful Life |
Factory buildings | 30 years |
Plant and equipment | 4, 7.5 & 15 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 4 years |
Computers | 3 years |
Office equipment | 4 to 5 years |
Vehicles | 8 years |
Leasehold improvements |
Over useful life as per Schedule II or the remaining period of Lease term, whichever is lower |
The Group, based on technical assessment made by technical expert and management estimate, depreciates certain items of building, plant and equipment over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
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 (Software) and development costs are amortised over the useful economic life of 3 years on straight line basis and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
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.
i) 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. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment.
ii) 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 in substance 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. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
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."
iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). 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.
Inventories
"Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
Raw materials (Including packing materials): Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average method.
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 but excluding borrowing costs. Cost is determined on weighted average method.
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.
Stores and spares: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition and charged to statement of profit and loss on purchase.
Traded goods: cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis."
Impairment of non-financial assets
"The Group assesses at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators."
Foreign currencies
The Groups Restated Consolidated Financial Information are presented in INR, which is also the Group functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group at functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
Revenue from contract with customer
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue from sale of products is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the equipment and sale of services is recognised at the point in time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligations during the reporting period.
Revenue is measured at transaction price (net of variable consideration, if any). The transaction price is the consideration received or receivable and is reduced by rebates, allowances and taxes and duties collected on behalf of the government.
Revenue also includes adjustments made towards liquidated damages and price variations wherever applicable.
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 related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
Taxes
Tax expense comprises current tax expense and deferred tax.
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Deferred tax
"Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity which intends either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered."
MAT:
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax for the year. The deferred tax asset is recognised for MAT credit available only to the extent that it is probable that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Group recognises MAT credit as an asset, it is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as part of deferred tax asset. The Company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
Provisions
General
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
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.
Warranty provisions
The Group provides warranties for general repairs of defects that existed at the time of sale, as required by law. Provisions related to these assurance-type warranties are recognised when the product is sold, or the service is provided to the customer. Initial recognition is based on historical experience. The initial estimate of warranty-related costs is revised annually.
Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Group has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Group recognises contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
The Group operates a defined benefit gratuity plan in India. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, 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. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Group measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Group recognises expected cost of short-term employee benefit as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the reporting date. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Longevity bonus liability is accrued for certain class of key managerial persons, as may be decided by the Board from time to time to recognise their immense contribution in driving the organisation, and payable upon their resignation or exit from the Company or substantial changes in the composition of the parent companys Board. Amount to be payable is calculated based on latest remuneration of the year multiplied by number of years. Longevity bonus is recognised as liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation using actuarial valuation at the Balance sheet date.
Fair value measurement
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 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 categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
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
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial assets contractual cash flow characteristics and the Groups business model for managing them.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments). A financial asset is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss.
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as borrowings, payables or other financial liabilities, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings).
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate ("EIR") method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised 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 an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised 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 a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Cash and cash equivalents
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.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the parent company (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the 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.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognised using effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Revenue recognition - estimating variable consideration
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Leases - estimating the incremental borrowing rate (IBR)
The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group would have to pay, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available. The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the companys credit rating).
Provision for expected credit losses (ECLs) of trade receivables and contract assets
The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables. The provision rates are based on days past due for its customer segments that have similar loss patterns. The provision matrix is initially based on the Groups historical observed default rates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Groups historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customers actual default in the future.
Defined benefit plan (post-employment gratuity)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan 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.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the utility of property, plant and equipment, right of use assets and intangible assets.
Provision for warranties
The Groups product warranty obligations and estimations thereof are determined using historical information of claims received up to the year end and the managements estimate of further liability to be incurred in this regard during the warranty period, computed on the basis of past trend of such claims.
Deferred tax assets
Valuation of deferred tax assets is dependent on managements assessment of future recoverability of the deferred tax benefit. Expected recoverability may result from expected taxable income in the future, planned transactions or planned optimising measures. Economic conditions may change and lead to a different conclusion regarding recoverability.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023
Total Income
Our total income increased by 125.20% to 2,137.86 million for Fiscal 2024 from 949.30 million for Fiscal 2023, on account of the factors discussed below.
Revenue from operations
Our revenue from operations comprising revenue from sale of products, sale of services and other operating income increased by 121.71% to 2,087.75 million for Fiscal 2024 from 941.66 million for Fiscal 2023, primarily due to increase in our total annualized capacity (including capacity of our Material Subsidiary) by 78.25% to 222,990 hours for Fiscal 2024 from 125,100 hours in Fiscal 2023 and number of purchase orders increased by 70.10% to 3,174 for Fiscal 2024 from 1,866 in Fiscal 2023.
Our sale of goods increased by 131.56% from 896.80 million in Fiscal 2023 to 2,076.65 million in Fiscal 2024 owing to increase in revenues from our existing customers as well as increase in revenues from new customers.
Our sale of services decreased by 88.03% from 29.00 million in Fiscal 2023 to 3.47 million in Fiscal 2024, owing to more job work being done for one of the customers in Fiscal 2023.
Our other operating income decreased by 51.89% from 15.86 million in Fiscal 2023 to 7.63 million in Fiscal 2024, due to decrease in rental income, scrap sales, duty drawback, merchant export incentives and other sales.
Other income
Our other income increased by 555.89% to 50.11 million for Fiscal 2024 from 7.64 million for Fiscal 2023, primarily due to increase in the interest income due to increase in fixed deposits, net gain on the foreign exchange transactions.

The group assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that our Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. Our Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and by having access to funding through an adequate amount of committed credit lines. Management monitors our Companys net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of the financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivable and payables and loans and borrowings. Our Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk (currency risk) and interest rate risk. Thus, our Companys exposure to market risk is a function of borrowing activities, revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Our Company exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our Companys long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. Our Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.
Our Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed borrowings amounting to Nil as at March 31, 2024 and variable rate borrowings amounting to 288.56 million as at March 31, 2024.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Our Companys exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to our Companys operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from our Companys functional currency).
