Market and industry data

Information regarding market size, market share, market position, growth rates and other industry data pertaining
to our business contained in this Letter of Offer consists of estimates based on data reports compiled by
governmental bodies, professional organisations and analysts and on data from other external sources, and on our
knowledge of markets in which we compete. Statistical information, industry market data, information regarding
our position in the market, growth rates, and other industry data pertaining to our business used throughout this
Letter of Offer have been obtained from the report titled “Report On Indian Auto-Component Industry” dated
November 2, 2020 (the “CARE Report”), which is a report prepared by CARE Advisory Research and Training
Limited.

We have not commissioned any report for the purposes of this Letter of Offer other than the CARE Report.
Industry publications generally state that the information contained in those publications has been obta ined from
sources believed to be reliable but that their accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed and their reliability

11
cannot be assured. Accordingly, no investment decision should be made on the basis of such information.
Although we believe that industry data used in this Letter of Offer is reliable, it has not been independently verified
by us or the Lead Manager or any of their respective affiliates or advisors.

CARE Advisory Research and Training Limited, while preparing the CARE Report, has taken utmost care to
ensure accuracy and objectivity while developing this report based on information available in public domain.
However, neither the accuracy nor completeness of information contained in the CARE Report is guaranteed. The
opinions expressed are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold an instrument.

This data is subject to change and cannot be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and
reliability of the raw data and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey. Neither we nor
the Lead Manager have (i) independently verified this data; and / or (ii) make any representation regarding the
accuracy or completeness of such data. Similarly, while we believe our internal estimates to be reasonable, such
estimates have neither been verified by any independent source and nor can we assure potential investors as to
their accuracy. In certain cases, there is no readily available external information (whether from trade or industry
associations, government bodies or other organizations) to validate market -related analysis and estimates, so we
have relied on internally developed estimates. Similarly, internal estimates and surveys, industry forecasts and
market research, while believed to be reliable, have not been independently verified and neither we nor th e Lead
Manager make any representation as to the accuracy and completeness of information based on trade, industry
and government publications and websites, data reports compiled by government bodies, professional
organisations and analysts, or from other external sources. The extent to which the market and industry data
used in this Letter of Offer is meaningful depends on the reader’s familiarity with and understanding of
the methodologies used in compiling such data. Such data involves risks, uncertainti es and numerous
assumptions and is subject to change based on various factors, including those disclosed in “ Risk Factors –
Industry information included in this Letter of Offer has been derived from an industry report
commissioned by us for such purpose. There can be no assurance that such third - party statistical,
financial and other industry information is complete, reliable or accurate.” on page 37. There are no standard
data gathering methodologies in the industry in which we co nduct our business, and methodologies and
assumptions may vary widely among different industry sources. Accordingly, investment decisions should
not be based on such information.

performance as we consider such information to be useful measures of our business and financial performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures and other statistical and other information relating to our operations and
financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across

condition of our Company could differ materially from that described here in as anticipated, believed, estimated

SECTION II: RISK FACTORS

An investment in equity shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider each of the following
risk factors and all other information set forth in this Letter of Offer, including the risks and uncertainties
described below, before making an investment in the Equity Shares. This section should be read together with the
Financial Statements and other financial information included elsewhere in this Letter of Offer.

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks that we currently face, or which are relevant
to our Equity Shares or the industry or the regions in which we operate. Additional risks and uncertainties not
presently known to us, or that we currently believe to be immaterial, may also adversely affect our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations and cash flow. If any or some combination of the following
risks, or other risks that are not currently known or believed to be material, actually occur, our business, financial
condition and results of operations and cash flow could suffer, the trading price of, and the value of your
investment in, Equity Shares could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. In making an
investment decision you must rely on your own examination of us and the terms of this Issue, including the merits
and risks involved. Prospective investors should consult their tax, financial and legal advisors about the particular
consequences to you of an investment in the Issue.

Unless specified in the relevant risk factor below, we are not in a position to quantify the financial implication of
any of the risks mentioned below. Further, some events may be material collectively rather than individually.

This Letter of Offer also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our results
could differ materially from such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including the

INTERNAL RISKS

1. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting deterioration of general economic conditions has adversely
impacted our business and results of operations and the extent to which it will continue to do so will
depend on future developments, which are difficult to predict.

In late 2019, the recent coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), was first reported in Wuhan, China. On January 30,
2020, the World Health Organisation declared the COVID-19 outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of
International Concern” and on March 11, 2020 it was declared a pandemic. Between January 30, 2020 and the
date of this Letter of Offer, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread to many other countries, with the number of
reported cases and related deaths increasing daily and, in many countries, exponentially. India has emerged as one
of the countries with highest confirmed cases of infection.

The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the global health concerns relating to this outbreak have had a severe negative
impact on, among other things, financial markets, liquidity, economic conditions and trade and could continue to
do so or could worsen for an unknown period of time, that could in turn have a material adverse impact on our
business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak
impacts our business, cash flows, results of operations and f inancial condition will depend on future developments,
including the timeliness and effectiveness of actions taken or not taken to contain and mitigate the effects of
COVID-19 both in India and internationally by governments, central banks, healthcare prov iders, health system
participants, other businesses and individuals, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

17
There is currently substantial medical uncertainty regarding COVID-19 and no government-certified treatment or
vaccine is available in India. A rapid increase in severe cases and deaths where measures taken by governments
fail or are lifted prematurely may cause unprecedented economic disruption in India and in the rest of the world.
The scope, duration and frequency of such measures and the adverse effects of COVID-19 remain uncertain and
are likely to be severe. The COVID-19 pandemic and government actions to contain it have weighed heavily on
global and national economic conditions, have significantly increased economic uncertainty, and have reduced
economic activity. The extent of the resulting impact on our business and results of operations will depend, among
other things, on the duration and severity of the pandemic, the nature and scope of government actions to contain
it, and the potential impact on global and national economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates,
availability of capital markets, consumer spending rates, energy availability and costs (including fuel surcharges).
Governments around the world have taken steps to mitigate some of the more severe anticipated economic effects,
but there can be no assurance that such steps will be effective or achieve their desired results in a timely fashion.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related volatility in financial markets a nd deterioration of national and global
economic conditions could affect our business and operations in a variety of ways. For example, we experienced
operational disruptions and financial losses as a result of the following:

• a temporary shutdown of all of our manufacturing facilities commencing from March 23, 2020 for a period of
approximately two months, due to government restrictions or illness in connection with COVID-19;
• a decrease in demand for our products as a result of COVID-19 on account of government restrictions imposed;
• supply chain disruptions for us, particularly components imported from China as well as from local suppliers
due to a shortage of working capital;
• a significant percentage of our workforce being unable to work, including because of travel or government
restrictions in connection with COVID-19, including stay at home orders;
• delays in orders or delivery of orders, which will negatively impact our cash conversion cycle and ability to
convert our backlog into cash;
• our strategic projects becoming delayed or postponed;
• our inability to collect full or partial payments from customers owing to their liquidity constraints and our
inability to make payments to suppliers due to delay in collections and other liquidity issues.
Accordingly, our results of operations were negatively impacted during the six months ended September 30, 2020.
Our revenue from operations in the six months ended September 30, 2020 was ₹ 48,259.62 lakhs compared with
₹ 62,919.27 lakhs in the six months ended September 30, 2019. In addition, the spread of COVID-19 has caused
us to modify our business practices and implement significant proactive measures to protect the health and safety
of our employees, and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or as we
determine appropriate under the circumstances. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to
mitigate the risks posed by the pandemic.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition
will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not
limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic, the nature and scope of government actions to contain the
pandemic or address its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions
can resume. In addition, we cannot predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our customers,
suppliers and other business partners, and each of their financial conditions; however, any material effect on these
parties could adversely impact us. Adverse consequences of, and conditions resulting from, the COVID-19
pandemic may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided. The RBI estimates
real GDP growth in FY2021 to remain in negative territory (Source: RBI Governor Statement dated August 6,
2020). It is possible that COVID-19 will lead to a prolonged global economic crisis or recession. Further, certain
sectors (such as aviation, tourism, hospitality, transportation and logistics, construction and real estate) have in
particular been severely affected by COVID-19, which could result in a significant and prolonged loss of demand
and revenue for the Group.

Further, as COVID-19 adversely affects our business and results of operations, it may also have the effect of
exacerbating many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.

2. We have incurred significant losses in the recent past and may incur losses in the future which may
have an adverse effect on our business.

We incurred a loss of ₹ 9,875.43 lakhs in Fiscal 2020, which was primarily due to a decrease in our sales, which
was significantly affected by the downswing in the automotive industry. In addition, there was an increase in

18
finance costs and depreciation, after considering sale of land held as stock-in-trade in the previous year. The
operating loss was also a result of decrease in sales, when compared to Fiscal 2019, which resulted in the under
absorption of fixed costs. We will need to generate and sustain increased revenue and decrease proportionate
expenses in future periods to achieve profitability, and even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase
profitability.

3. An inability to upgrade manufacturing processes and technological capability with evolving trends in
the automotive component industry and inability to meet our customers’ preferences may adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Changes in competitive technologies may render certain of our products obsolete or less attractive, and to compete
effectively we must be able to develop and produce new products or enhanced versions of existing products to
meet our customers’ demands in a timely manner. We may be unable to anticipate changes in technology and
regulatory standards and to successfully develop and introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis. In
some cases, the technologies that we plan to employ may not yet be widely adopted or may not yet be
commercially practical, and their success would depend upon significant future capital expenditures and
technological advances made by us and by our suppliers. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able
to secure the necessary technological knowledge or capabilities which will allow us to develop our product
portfolio in this manner and as a result, may impact our operations and our ability to meet our customers’
commitments. Further, we cannot assure you that we will be able to install and commission the equipment needed
for new product programs in time for the start of production, or that the transitioning of our manufacturing
facilities and resources to full production under new product programs will not impact production rates or other
operational efficiency measures at our facilities. In addition, we cannot assure you that our customers will execute
on schedule the launch of their new product programs, for which we might supply products.

In addition, we may not be able to secure adequate financing for the capital expenditures required for the research
and development of new technologies and products, and, accordingly, we may be forced to curtail our product
development programs, and our business, financial conditions and results of operations may be materia lly and
adversely affected. We are also subject to the risks generally associated with new product development, delays in
product development, and failure of products due to manufacturing defects.

4. Product liability and other civil claims and costs incurred as a result of product recalls could harm our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability or recall claims, in the event that our products
fail to perform as expected or such failure results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury or property damage or
both. We cannot assure you that we will not experience any material product liability losses in the future or that
we will not incur significant costs to defend any such cla ims.

Vehicle manufacturers have their own policies regarding product recalls and other product liability actions relating
to their suppliers such as us. However, as we become more integrally involved in the design process and assume
more component assembly functions, vehicle manufacturers may seek compensation from us when faced with
product recalls, product liability or warranty claims. Vehicle manufacturers are also increasingly requiring their
third-party suppliers to provide warranties for their products and bear the costs of recall, repair and replacement
of such products under new vehicle warranties. Depending on the terms under which we supply products, our
customers may hold us responsible for some or all of the recall, repair or replacement costs o f defective products
under new vehicle warranties provided by us or by our customers, when the product supplied does not perform as
expected. Such warranties may be enforced against us even in cases where the underlying sales contract has
expired. A successful warranty or product liability claim or costs incurred for a product recall in excess of our
available insurance coverage, if any, would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.

In addition, as a result of product liability legislation, civil claims may either be brought against vehicle
manufacturers, and we may be made parties to such claims, or such manufacturers may initiate claims against us,
where damages may have been caused by any faulty products tha t we manufactured. For instance, in the past,
claims for financial loss have been made against us by certain of our customers, which have been settled between
us and such customers. While we have insurance cover for product liability or recall, there can b e no assurance
that such coverage will be adequate in case of abovementioned claims. We cannot assure you that such claims
will not be brought against us in the future, and any adverse determination may have an adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

19
5. We depend upon sales of our products to a limited number of customers, and the loss of or reduction in
sales to any of our major customers would have a material adverse effect on us.

Globally, the automotive industry is dominated by a limited number of OEMs and despite our diversified product
portfolio, we derive a significant percentage of our revenue from our top five OEM customers in respective
segment and/or on an overall basis. In Fiscal 2020, the top five customers of our Company contributed 64.67% of
our revenue from operations. While we have long-standing relations with some of our major customers, the loss
of any one of our key customers or a significant reduction in demand fro m such customer, if not replaced, could
have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Decline in vehicle demand
could prompt OEMs to reduce their production volumes, directly affecting the demand for our products from such
OEM customers. In addition to decline in demand for existing products, insufficient demand for new products
launched by our OEMs, financial difficulties experienced by any of our large volume OEM customers or their
inability to obtain financing for their business may also have a material adverse impact on our result of operations.
Further, our dependence on such major OEMs could potentially impact our ability to negotiate favorable contract
terms which may impact our margins, working capital requirements and consequentially our result of operations.

6. An inability to compete effectively in the competitive automotive components industry could result in the
loss of customers, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial
condition, and future prospects.

The automotive industry is highly competitive, and we primarily compete based on product quality and features,
innovation and product development time, and ability to control pricing pressures. We face global compet ition in
our business, which is based on many factors, including product quality and reliability, product range, product
design and innovation, manufacturing capabilities, distribution channels, scope and quality and reliability of
service, price, customer loyalty and brand recognition. Our primary competitors include a broad range of
international, regional and local companies with diverse characteristics. Some of our competitors are focused on
sub-markets within targeted industries, while others have grea ter financial, technical and/or marketing resources
than we have along with longer operating histories and greater market penetration, which could enhance their
ability to finance acquisitions, fund international growth and/ or respond more quickly to tech nological changes.
Some of our competitors may be able to produce similar or superior products at lower costs. We also encounter
competition from similar and alternative products, many of which are produced and marketed by major
multinational or national companies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. Additionally, as we further expand our presence in emerging markets we face
competitive price pressures from low-cost producers in these ma rkets, and we expect such price pressures to
increase as our customers continue to expand their manufacturing footprints in these markets, thereby providing
opportunities for local manufacturers to compete.

Further, we may not be able to differentiate our products from those of our competitors; to successfully develop
or introduce new products on a timely basis or at all, that are less costly than those of our competitors; or to offer
customers payment and other commercial terms as favourable as those offered by our competitors. If our
competitors outperform our business and develop superior products at a lesser cost in a timely manner, our growth
and financial results could be adversely affected. In addition, manufacturers that do not currently compete with
us could expand their product portfolios to include products that would compete directly with ours. Changes in
the product focus of larger manufacturers could also result in such manufacturers establishing relationships with
our customers that reduce or replace entirely our business with those customers. Larger manufacturers could also
encourage price competition or acquire small manufacturers in an effort to displace smaller manufacturers. In
addition, certain large customers to whom we currently sell certain products could decide to compete with us as
manufacturers of these products. Any of these developments, alone or in combination, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Increased consolidation among our competitors or between our competitors and any of our OEM customers could
allow competitors to further benefit from economies of scale, offer more comprehensive product portfolios and
increase the size of their serviceable m arkets. This could lead to considerable reductions in our profit margins and/
or the loss of market share due to price pressure. Furthermore, competitors may gain control over or influence our
suppliers or customers by shareholdings in such companies, which could adversely affect our supplier
relationships. An inability to form such alliances or adequately adjust our customer pricing in response to customer
demand or market trend in a timely manner, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our bus iness,
prospects, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

20
7. We are exposed to fluctuations in prices of raw materials and other input materials, and if we are unable
to compensate for or pass on such costs to our customers, such increased costs could have an adverse
impact on our profitability.

The automotive industry experiences volatility with respect to raw materials and other input materials prices.
Therefore, if we are not able to compensate for or pass on our increased costs to customers, such increases in cost
could have a material adverse impact on our fina ncial results. Although we typically have the ability to pass on
such increase in cost of our raw materials to our customers, our cash flows may still be adversely affected because
of any gap in time between the date of procurement of those primary raw mat erials and the date on which we can
reset the component prices for our customers, to account for the increase in the prices of such raw materials. In
particular, in certain situations, specifically for aftermarket, we do not generally have a contractual right to
unilaterally increase the sales price of our components when the costs of our raw materials or other input materials
increase.

Our need to maintain a continued supply of raw materials may make it difficult to resist price increases and
surcharges imposed by our suppliers, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in negotiating with our customers on an agreed price increase
that will fully cover the increase in the costs. Additionally, any increase in the sales price of our components will
normally take effect for purchase orders received after such negotiations, and compensation for cost increases
incurred prior to such negotiations is unlikely. In such event, the price increases may not have a compensating
effect for the periods in which the costs increased. This may have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

8. We depend on third parties for the supply of raw materials and delivery of products and such third
parties could fail to meet their obligations, which may have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

We are dependent on third party suppliers for the supply of our raw materials. Discontinuation of production by
these suppliers, a failure of these suppliers to adhere to any delivery schedule or a failure to provide materials of
the requisite quality could ham per our production schedule and therefore affect our business and results of
operations. This dependence may also adversely affect the availability of key materials at reasonable prices, thus
affecting our margins, and may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition. There can be no assurance that high demand, capacity limitations or other problems experienced by our
suppliers will not result in occasional shortages or delays in their supply of raw materials. If we were to experience
a significant or prolonged shortage of raw materials from any of our suppliers, and we cannot procure the raw
materials from other sources, we would be unable to meet our production schedules for some of our key products
and deliver such products to our customers in timely fashion, which would adversely affect our sales, margins and
customer relations. We cannot assure you that a particular supplier will continue to supply the required
components or raw materials to us in the future. Any change in the supplying pattern of our raw materials can
adversely affect our business and profits.

9. Our Company may not be successful in implementing its strategies, including developing
technologically advanced products and increasing exports and expanding international operations,
which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and future prospects.

The success of our business depends largely on our ability to effectively implement our business strategies.
Successful execution of our business strategies in the past may not be an assurance that we will be able to execute
our strategies on time and within the estimated budget, or that we will meet the expectations of our customers.
We expect our strategies to place significant demands on o ur management and other resources. Our strategy of
increasing capacity in our existing product portfolio may require substantial capital expenditure, which may
necessitate incurring further indebtedness. Further, while we intend to capitalise on unutilised capacity at our
manufacturing facilities to increase production of our current portfolio, there may not be a corresponding increase
in the demand for such products. In addition, while we continue to pursue partnership opp ortunities and
possibilities for inorganic growth, we may not be able to successfully integrate such partners and acquired entities
into our business.

In order to achieve future growth, we may be required to develop new products, identify diverse custome r base,
accurately assess new markets, obtain sufficient financing for our expected capital expenditures, contain our input
cost and fixed costs, maintain sufficient operational and financial controls and make additional capital investments
to take advantage of anticipated market conditions. We may not be able to achieve growth in revenues and profits

21
or maintain such rate of growth in the future. If we are unable to execute or manage our strategies effectively, our
business and financial results will be adversely affected. Also, see “Our Business – Our key strategies” on page
83.

10. We do not have firm commitment purchase agreements with our customers. If our customers choose
not to source their requirements from us, our business and results of operations may be adversely
affected.

Our customers do not enter into long-term purchase agreements with us and instead give us purchase orders and
delivery schedules to govern the volume and other terms of our sales of products, which is consistent with the
automotive component industry practice. Most of the purchase orders we receive from customers specify per unit
price and model details. We receive delivery schedules and the quantities to be delivered at a later date from our
customers as per their project plan. However, in case of any issues with respect to quality, pricing or other terms
and conditions such orders may be amended or cancelled prior to or post finalisation, and should such an
amendment or cancellation take place, we may be unable to seek compensation for any unpurchased products that
we manufacture. Further, since we do not enter into long-term purchase agreements, there is no commitment on
the part of the customer to continue to pass on new work orders to us. As a result, our sales from period to period
may fluctuate significantly as a result of changes in our customers’ vendor preferences.

We typically commit to order raw materials and sub-assembly components from our suppliers based on
our customer recommendations, forecasts and orders. Cancellation by customers or any delay or reduction in
their orders can result in a mismatch between the inventory of pre-constructed components, raw materials
and the manufactured product that we hold. This could also result in excess inventory and increased working
capital, till such time as such products are sold. This could materially affect the orderly management of our
inventory and could potentially impact our production.

In addition, we make significant decisions, including setting up of facilities, determining the levels of
business that we will seek and accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, personnel
requirements and other resource requirements, based on our estimates of customer orders. This may require us
to increase staffing, increase capacity, engage sub-contractors and incur other expenses to meet the anticipated
demand of our customers, in relation to changes (such as order getting delayed or cancelled) which could
cause reductions in our margins. We cannot assure you that we will be able to realise the value of investments
made by us on the basis of such contractual arrangements and any such loss may have an adverse impact on our
results of operations.

11. Our Statutory Auditors have provided certain matters of emphasis relating to the Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements and Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results of our Company. We cannot
assure you that such matters of emphasis will not arise in the future.

Our Statutory Auditors have included certain matters of emphasis in their report to the Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements. The Statutory Auditors have drawn attention to t he following:

• the relevant note of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, regarding the re-presentation of the
working results of certain subsidiaries from “Discontinued Operations” to “Continuing Operations” and the
reclassification of assets and liabilities which were hitherto classified as “Disposal Group”; and
• the relevant note of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements wherein the component auditors of certain
subsidiaries have drawn attention in their auditor’s report on the material u ncertainty that casts significant
doubt on the ability of these subsidiaries to continue as a going concern.

In addition, our Statutory Auditors have included a matter of emphasis in their limited review report to the
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results. The Statutory Auditors have drawn attention to the following:

• the relevant note of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results regarding re-presentation of the working
results of certain subsidiaries from “Continuing Operations” to “Discontinued Operations”.

For details, see “Financial Statements” on page 104.

Investors should consider these matters in evaluating our financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
There is no assurance that our auditors’ reports for any future Fiscals will not contain such matters of emphasis.

22
12. The cyclical and seasonal nature of automotive sales and production can adversely affect our business.

The automobile industry has witnessed substantial changes in recent years, including, among othe r things,
continued consolidation, outsourcing, decreasing profit margins in certain segments, regulatory changes, shifts in
production to low-cost manufacturing centres and technological changes.

Our automotive business is directly related to our customers’ vehicle sales and production levels across various
segments. Automotive sales and production are highly cyclical and depend on general economic conditions and
other factors, including consumer spending and preferences, as well as changes in interest rate levels, consumer
confidence and fuel costs. Our sales are also affected by inventory levels and production levels of automotive
manufacturers. We cannot predict when manufacturers will decide to increase or reduce inventory levels or
whether new inventory levels will approximate historical inventory levels. This may result in variability in ou r
sales and financial condition. Uncertainty regarding inventory levels may be exacerbated by favourable consumer
financing programs initiated by manufacturers, which may accelerate sales that would otherwise occur in future
periods. As we have high fixed production costs, even relatively modest declines in our customers' production
levels and thus, our production volumes, can have a significant adverse impact on our profitability. In addition,
lower global automotive sales during the global financial crisis resulted in substantially all automotive
manufacturers lowering vehicle production schedules. In recent times, both prior to the global lockdowns owing
to the COVID-19 pandemic and during the lockdown, automobile sales have significantly reduced. There is no
assurance that post-lifting of lockdown restrictions global automotive sales will continue to recover or not decrease
further. Continued uncertainty and other unexpected fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

The automobile industry is also subject to seasonal characteristics. Our customers may also suddenly increase
their request for component volumes, which could cause lead time problems and lead to loss of revenue for our
customers if we are unable to meet their demands. As a result our relationship with our customers may be impacted
and our projects' sales may be adversely affected and result in loss of revenue and reduced margins. Any
cancellation or delay in production could have a material adverse effect on our sales projections and profitability.
In addition, the automotive component industry is sensitive to other factors beyond our control such as
technological changes, cyclicality and unforeseen events, including political instability, recession, inflation,
further volatility in fuel prices and other adverse occurrences. Any such event that results in decreased demand in
the automotive industry, or increased pressure on automobile manufacturers to develop, implement an d maintain
in-house automotive, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

13. Increasing pressure on prices by our customers on the sale price of our products could materially and
adversely affect our business.

Our OEM customers are active in competitive industries and face constant pressure to cut their selling and
production costs. Accordingly, component pricing is one of the key metrics by which OEMs choose suppliers for
their vehicle programs. As a result, we have in the past experienced and could continue to experience, pressure to
reduce our prices and there can be no assurances that our customers will not seek lower-priced options from our
competitors. Price reductions are typically agreed on a periodic basis as part of our long-term customer
arrangement and can vary by market or region, taking into account the OEM’s specific economic objectives. We
expect such pricing pressure to continue in the future. Accordingly, we endeavour to continue to innovate and
introduce new products and applications as well as to continue to carefully manage and reduce our operating costs
in order to maintain our margins and competitive position. However, there can be no assurances that we will
continue to achieve sufficient cost savings in the future, which could affect our ability to offer reduced prices to
our customers. If we are unable to reduce prices, we may not be able to retain existing customers or win new
customers, and any loss of customers or any reduction of our prices that cannot fully be offset by input cost
reductions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

14. An inability to meet the consistent quality requirements of our customers, or adapt to changes in, the
preferences of our customers could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our customers have specific standards for product quality and delivery schedules. Any failure to meet our
customers’ expectation could result in the cancellation or non-renewal of contracts/ purchase orders. In order to
consistently satisfy the quality requirements of our customers in the domestic and international markets, we are
required to continuously invest in new technology and p rocesses. If we are unable to provide the quality desired

23
by, or adapt our product to anticipate the preferences of, our customers, our growth and business may be adversely
affected. Further, we also depend significantly on the effectiveness of our quality control systems and standard
operating procedures adopted at our processing facilities. Although our products undergo quality control tests at
regular intervals of assembly, there can be no assurance that the verification of the sample quality checks
conducted by us will be accurate at all times, which may affect our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, we rely on our suppliers for procurement of components and are dependent on their assessment of the
quality of components. If any of our suppliers fails to meet our quality specifications, our business and results of
operations could be adversely affected.

In addition, some of the countries to which our products are exported may require us to comply with certain
additional quality sta ndards and specifications, which may be upgraded or changed from time to time. If we are
unable to comply with the standards set by such governments, our products may not be allowed to be imported in
such countries, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

15. Our global operations subject us to risks in multiple countries that could adversely affect our business.

As of September 30, 2020, our products are exported to customers across 22 countries including United States,
Germany, and Indonesia . In addition, we have also incorporated Subsidiaries in Singapore and Indonesia and set
up overseas offices in Singapore and Japan. In Fiscal 2020, revenue from operations from India, North and South
America, Europe and Asia (excluding India) contributed 92.52%, 3.51%, 2.29% and 1.67%, respectively, of our
total revenue from operations. Our future revenue growth depends upon the successful operation of our
manufacturing facilities, the efficiency of our delivery and distribution system and the successful management of
our sales, marketing, support and service teams through direct and indirect channels in various countries around
the world where our current or potential OEM customers are located.

Our growth strategy relies on the expansion of our operations by introducing certain automotive products in
markets outside India. The costs associated with entering and establishing ourselves in new markets, and
expanding such operations, may be higher than expected, and we may face significant competition in those
regions. The expansion of our business has required, and may continue to require, that we establish new offices,
manufacturing facilities, hire new personnel and manage businesses in widely disparat e locations with different
economies, legal systems, languages and cultures. In addition, we are affected by various factors inherent in
carrying out business operations on an international scale, such as coordinating and managing global operations;
political instability and related uncertainties; different economic and business conditions; difficulties in staffing
and managing foreign operations, including coordinating and interacting with our local representatives and
partners to understand local business and regulatory requirements; immigration and labour laws, which may
prevent us from deploying or retaining an adequate number of employees in foreign countries; compliance with
anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws; obtaining licenses, permits and approva ls for our operations; foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations; exposure to different legal standards and enforcement mechanisms;
compliance with increasingly strict environmental regulations, including the regulation of greenhouse gas
emissions and its effect on our operations and those of our OEM customers; and other regulatory changes affecting
our business and the automotive industry in general. Further, failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations
can lead to civil, administrative or criminal penalties, including fines or the revocation of permits and licenses that
may be necessary for our business activities. Any of these developments, alone or in combination, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

16. Deterioration in the performance of any of our Subsidiaries may result in diminishing value of our
investments in such Subsidiaries thereby adversely affecting our financial conditions and results of
operations.

We currently conduct a part of our operations through our Subsidiaries. We have made and may continue to make
capital commitments to our Subsidiaries, and if the business or operations of any of these Subsidiaries deteriorates,
the value of our investments may decline substantially.

The ability of our Subsidiaries to make dividend payments to us depends largely on their financial condition and
ability to generate profits as well as regulatory conditions. In addition, because our Subsidiaries are separate and
distinct legal entities, they will have no obligation to pay any dividends and may be restricted from doing so by
contract, including other financing arrangements, charter provisions, other shareholders or the applicable laws and
regulations of the various countries in which they operate.

24
We cannot assure you that our Subsidiaries will generate sufficient profits and cash flows. Further, in case our
Subsidiaries incur losses or are unable to match our expected levels of performance, we may divest or dilute our
equity interest in such entities. For instance, our Company had to divest its shareholding in its erstwhile
subsidiaries located outside India in the recent past, due to losses incurred by us through such subsidiaries. Our
Company had made provisions for impairment losses in respect of investments made in our erstwhile subsidiary,
Pricol Espana Sociedad Limiteda, Spain of ₹ 19,445.07 lakhs during Fiscal 2019 and ₹ 10,212.53 lakhs during
Fiscal 2020.

Such instances may arise in future as well and in the event that the value of our investment in any of our
Subsidiaries diminishes significantly, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.

Our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected should our equity stake in o ur
Subsidiaries be diluted or in the event they cease to be our subsidiaries.

17. Our research and development efforts may not produce successful products or enhancements to our
products that result in significant revenue or other benefits in the near future, if at all.

We have invested a significant amount in R&D in recent years. We incurred ₹ 1,022.32 lakhs and ₹ 4,776.06 lakhs
towards research and development expenditure, which is 2.12% and 3.10% of our revenue from operations for the
six months ended September 30, 2020 and Fiscal 2020, respectively. We expect to continue to dedicate significant
financial and other resources to our research and development efforts in order to maintain our competitive position.

While we seek to develop technology that is sustainable and insulated from possible disruption , investing in
research and development, developing new products and enhancing existing products is expensive and time
consuming, and there is no assurance that such activities will result in significant new marketable products or
enhancements to our products, design improvements, co st savings, revenues or other expected benefits. If we
spend significant time and effort on research and development, but are unable to generate an adequate return on
our investment, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely af fected.

18. Our inability to meet our obligations, conditions and restrictions imposed by our financing agreements
could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and operations as well as to undertake and
consummate the Issue. Further, our Company is required to take prior consent of our lenders under
some of our financing agreements for undertaking certain actions, including the Issue.

Our operations are capital intensive and require us to have significant amount of borrowings for capital
expenditure and working capital. As of September 30, 2020, our Company, on a consolidated basis, had (a)
secured borrowings which comprised of working capital facilities aggregating to ₹ 9,163.13 lakhs, term loans
aggregating to ₹ 27,706.67 lakhs and non-fund based facilities aggregating to ₹ 3,190.86 lakhs; and (b) unsecured
borrowings comprising of cash credit facility aggregating to ₹ 763.18 lakhs. For details, see “Financial
Statements” on page 104.

The level of our indebtedness could have several important consequences, including:

• a substantial portion of our cash flows may be used towards repayment of our existing debt, which will
reduce the availability of cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other general
corporate requirements;
• our ability to obtain additional financing in the future or renegotiate or refinance our existing indebtedness
on terms favorable to us may be limited;
• fluctuations in market interest rates may affect the cost of our borrowings, as our indebtedness is subject
to floating rates of interest;
• we may have difficulty in satisfying repayments and other restrictive covenants under our existing
financing arrangements;
• future defaults of payment and other obligations under our financing arrangements may result in an event
of default, acceleration of our repayment obligations and enforcement of related security interests over our
receivables and other assets; and
• we may be limited in our ability to expand our business and therefore, we may be limited in our capability
to withstand competitive pressures.

25
Given the nature of our business, we will continue to incur indebtedness even after the Issue, and we cannot assure
you that the aforementioned risks will not have an adverse effect on our cash flows, results of operations and
financial condition.

A significant number of our financing agreements also include various restrictive conditions and covenants that
require us to obtain consents from lenders prior to carrying out certain activities such as, initiating and
consummating the Issue, altering the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, effecting any
change in our Company’s or our Subsidiaries capital structure and issuing any fresh capital. We may be unable to
obtain such consents for any activities we wish to carry out, whether in time or at all, which may impact our
business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, these financing arrangements include
covenants pertaining to the maintenance of certain financial ratios, submission of certain documents to our lend ers
on a periodic basis, security creation, etc. We have, in the past, been non -compliant with covenants pertaining to
the maintenance of certain financial ratios, the creation of security, and delay in the submission of certain
documents to our lenders and had, accordingly, paid penalties to our lenders for such non -compliances.

We may also be subject to risks associated with debt financing and refinancing, including the risk that our cash
flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal a nd interest under such financing. Our ability to
generate sufficient cash to satisfy our debt obligations will depend on our future operating performance, which
may be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors bey ond our control.
There is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet all of our debt obligations. If
we are unable to make payments due under our debt facilities, the lenders may be able to declare an event of
default and initiate enforcement proceedings relating to any security provided in respect of the loan facilities,
and/or call upon any guarantees, and this may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition. Further, this may also result in a decline in the trading price of our Equity Shares and you
may lose all or part of your investment.

Furthermore, if market conditions or other factors at the time of financing or refinancing (including changes in
market conditions and maturity term imposed by any lenders) result in higher interest rates, the interest expense
may be significant and may have a material and adverse effect on our cash flows and financial condition.

19. Our continued operations are critical to our business and any shutdown of our manufacturing facilities
may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our manufacturing facilities are subject to operating risks, such as (i) the risk of substantial disruption or shutdown
due to breakdowns or failure of equipment, natural disasters, storms, fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods and
other catastrophic events, actual, potential or suspected epidemic outbreaks, terrorist attacks and wars, labour
disputes, strikes, lock-outs, loss of services of our external contractors, and industrial accidents, (ii) performance
below expected levels of output or efficiency, and (iii) obsolescence. For instance, our Company’s operations
have, in the past, been disrupted due to strikes by some of our workers. For further details, see “Outstanding
Litigation and Defaults – Other proceedings involving our Company which involve an amount exceeding the
Materiality Threshold or are otherwise material in terms of the Materiality Policy, and other pending matters
which, if they result in an adverse outcome would materially and adversely affect the operations or the financial
position of our Company – Civil Proceedings” on page 233. Moreover, catastrophic events could also destroy any
inventory located at our facilities. The occurrence of any such event could result in a temporary or long-term
closure of any of our manufacturing facilities. If we are required to close any of our facilities, the costs relating to
such closure may be significant. In certain locations where our facilities are subject to leases, we may continue to
incur significant costs in accordance with the existing lease terms.

Additionally, the assembly lines of some of our OEM customers rely significantly on the timely delivery of our
components and our ability to provide an uninterrupted supply of our products is critical to our business and
sustained relationships with our OEM customers. Our business and financial results may be adversely affected by
any disruption of operations of our product lines, and we cannot assure you that we will not be required to close
any of our manufacturing facilities in the future, including as a result of any of the factors mentioned above.

20. Our business could be adversely affected by any delays or increased costs resulting from issues that our
common carriers may face in transporting our raw materials, components or finished products.

We rely on a variety of common carriers to transport our raw materials and components from our suppliers to us,
and to transport our products from us to our customers. Problems suffered by any of these common carriers,
whether due to a natural disaster, labour problems, increased energy prices, inadequacies in transport

26
infrastructure, or any other issue, could result in shipping delays, supply chain disruptions and increased costs,
and could therefore have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Moreover, many of the products we produce are transported over long distances, and our customers often demand
just-in-time and just-in-sequence component deliveries. As a result, we rely on the close proximity of our facilities
to OEM plants to minimize the freight costs associated with transporting our products. To the extent we are forced
to transport our products over long dista nces to customer sites, we separately negotiate freight prices with our
customers based on our transportation and logistics costs. Any failure to pass through these increased
transportation costs to our customers, or any increase in delivery lead times resulting from long-distance transport
of our products, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, a lthough we have entered into supply agreements pursuant to which we can claim compensation for losses
incurred due to a breach of delivery obligations by our suppliers, transportation strikes have occurred in the past
and, if they were to occur again in the future, they could have an adverse effect on supply and delivery to and
from particular plants. An increase in freight costs or the unavailability of adequate port and shipping
infrastructure for transportation of our products to our markets could also h ave an adverse effect on our business
and results of operations.

21. The premises for our Registered and Corporate Office and the land for certain of our manufacturing
facilities are taken on lease by us. If we are unable to renew existing leases or relocate operations on
commercially reasonable terms, there may be an adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
result of operations and cash flows.

Some of the premises on which we operate are not currently owned by us. Our Registered and Corporate Of fice,
located at 109, Race Course, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu – 641 018, India is situated on premises that have been
leased out to us pursuant to a lease agreement dated May 29, 2020 entered into by us for a period of one year with
effect from March 1, 2020. In addition, Plant V is situated on premises leased for a period of nine years with effect
from November 1, 2016; Plant VII is situated on premises leased for a period of 90 years with effect from
December 4, 2006; Plant IX is situated on premises leased f or a period of 10 years with effect from February 9,
2018; and Plant X is situated on premises leased for a period of 99 years with effect from September 25, 2017.
For details, see “Business – Property” on page 96.

Upon expiration of the relevant agreement for each such premise, we will be required to negotiate the terms and
conditions on which the lease agreement may be renewed. Further, some of our lease deeds for our properties may
not be registered and some of our lease deeds may not be adequately stam ped and consequently, may not be
accepted as evidence in a court of law and we may be required to pay penalties for inadequate stamp duty. In the
event that these existing leases are terminated or they are not renewed on commercially acceptable terms or at all,
we may suffer a disruption in our operations. If alternative premises are not available at the same or similar costs,
size or locations, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

22. We have experienced growth in recent years and could make investments and acquisitions in the future
that involve considerable integration costs. We may be unable to sustain, manage or realize the expected
benefits of such growth or may not be able to fund that growth.

Our growth strategy will require significant capital expenditures, which we intend to fund through a combination
of cash flow from operations and financing sources. As part of our growth strategy, we have pursued and continue
to pursue acquisitions, mergers and strategic investments and collaborations as a mode of expanding our
operations. There can be no assurance that the integration of such strategic investments, joint ventures and
collaborations, acquisitions and mergers, whether already existing, or which we may enter in the future, will be
successful or that the expected strategic benefits of any such action will be realized. Further expansion and
acquisitions may require us to incur or assume new debt, or expose us to future funding obligations or integration
risks, and we cannot assure you that such expansion or acquisitions will contribute to our profitability. While we
believe that our current and projected liquidity will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs and support
our growth strategy, it is possible that we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or investments
and that future borrowings may not be available to us on favourable terms or in an amount sufficient to enable us
to realize our growth strategy.

Further, our future growth is dependent on our success in making the right investments at the right time to support
product development and manufacturing capacity in areas where we can support our customer base. If we are
unable to deepen existing relationships and/or to develop additional customer relationships, we may not only fail

27
to realize expected rates of return on our existing investments, but we may incur losses on such investments and
will be unable to timely redeploy the invested capital to take advantage of other m arkets, potentially resulting in
losing market share to our competitors. The success of our strategy also depends in large part on the continued
growth and stable economic conditions in these target markets.

Further, we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify suitable acquisition, strategic investment or joint
venture opportunities on commercially reasonable terms, obtain the financing necessary to complete and support
such acquisitions or investments, integrate such businesses or investments o r that any business acquired or
investment made will be profitable. Such acquisitions and investments involve a number of risks, including
possible adverse effects on our operating results, enhanced regulatory compliance, diversion of management’s
attention, failure to retain key personnel, currency risks, risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities,
possible contravention of applicable laws in relation to investment and transfer of shareholding, including any
pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders of such entities and difficulties in the assimilation of the operations,
technologies, systems, services and products of the acquired businesses or investments, as well as other economic,
political and regulatory risks. Any failure to achieve successful integration of such acquisitions or investments
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For instance,
our Company has had to divest its stake in its erstwhile subsidiaries located outsid e India in the recent past due to
losses incurred by us through such subsidiaries. Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances
of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, or writ e-offs of
goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition and may have an adverse impact on the price of our
Equity Shares.

Any of these challenges, and the failure or delay by our management in responding to them, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

23. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and exchange control risks, which may
adversely affect our results of operations.

Our operating expenses are denominated substantially in Indian Rupees. However, 7.37% of our revenue from
operations in Fiscal 2020, was denominated in other currencies.

In addition, we also purchase a significant amount of raw materials in foreign curren cy; in Fiscal 2020, this
amounted to 20.10% of cost of materials consumed. A significant fluctuation in the Indian Rupee and U.S. Dollar
rates and / or other foreign currency exchange rates could therefore have a significant impact on our results of
operations. Although we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge against our foreign exchange rate
risks as per Company policy, a weakening U.S. Dollar would decrease the relative value of our income
denominated in or tied to the U.S. Dollar against our Indian Rupee denominated costs, thus decreasing our
profitability. The exchange rates between the Indian Rupee and these currencies, primarily the U.S. Dollar, has
fluctuated in the past and any appreciation or depreciation of the Indian Rupee against these currencies can impact
our profitability and results of operations.

24. The acquisition of other companies, businesses or technologies could result in operating difficulties,
dilution and other adverse consequences.

As part of our growth strategy, we have pursued and may pursue acquisitions, mergers and strategic investments
and collaborations as a mode of expanding our operations. There can be no assurance that the integration of such
strategic investments, joint ventures and collaborations, acquisitions and mergers, whether already existing, or
which we may enter in the future, if any, will be successful or that the expected strategic benefits of any such
action will be realized.

We may pursue further acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, investment s and expansions to enhance our
operations and technological capabilities. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify suitable
acquisition, strategic investment or joint venture opportunities on commercially reasonable terms, obtain the
financing necessary to complete and support such acquisitions or investments, integrate such businesses or
investments or that any business acquired or investment made will be profitable. Such acquisitions and
investments involve a number of risks, including possible adverse effects on our operating results, enhanced
regulatory compliance, diversion of management’s attention, failure to retain key personnel, currency risks, risks
associated with unanticipated events or liabilities, possible contravention o f applicable laws in relation to
investment and transfer of shareholding, including any pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders of such entities
and difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies, systems, services and products of the acquired

28
businesses or investments, as well as other economic, political and regulatory risks. Any failure to achieve
successful integration of such acquisitions or investments could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. For instance, our Company has had to divest its stake in its erstwhile
subsidiaries located outside India in the recent past due to losses incurred by us through such subsidiaries.Future
acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent
liabilities or amortization expenses, or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition
and may have an adverse impact on the price of our Equity Shares.

25. We rely upon the success of our dealers and retailers network for our aftermarket sales. Our inability to
maintain such networks and attract new distributors in the future could adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

Certain portion of our revenue from operations comprises replacement or aftermarket sales for which we rely on
our dealers and retailer network and as of September 30, 2020, we had a network of 164 distributors. In the six
months ended September 30, 2020, aftermarket sales and services accounted for 3.15% of our total revenue from
operations.

Not all our dealers and retailers are contractually required to sell our products on an exclusive basis. In addition,
no assurance can be given that our current dealers and retailers will continue to do business with us or that we can
continue to attract new dealers and retailers to our network. Our business to an extent is dependent on our ability
to attract and retain third-party dealers and retailers and such parties’ ability to promote, sell, and market our
products effectively. Maintaining good relations with the dealers and retailers is vital to our business. An inability
to maintain the stability of our dealer and retailer network and to attract new distributors to our dealer and retailer
network in the future could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

26. We appoint contract labour for carrying out certain of our ancillary operati ons and we may be held
responsible for paying the wages of such workers, if the independent contractors through whom such
workers are hired default on their obligations, and such obligations could have an adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition.

In order to retain flexibility and control costs, we appoint independent contractors who in turn engage on -site
contract labour for performance of certain of our ancillary operations. Although we do not engage these labourers
directly, we may be held responsible for any wage payments to be made to such labourers in the event of default
by such independent contractors. Any requirement to fund their wage requirements may have an adverse impact
on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, under the Contract Labour (Regulation and
Abolition) Act, 1970, as amended, we may be required to absorb a number of such contract labourers as permanent
employees. Thus, any such order from a regulatory body or court may hav e an adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

27. Damage to our brand and reputation or any of our customers’ brand and reputation could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our business depends to a significant extent on our customers’ trust in our brand and associated reputation as a
reliable supplier, as well as in our ability to support our customers geographically and in our ability to meet our
customers’ key performance targets. Our products are subject to express and implied warranty claims. We cannot
assure you that we will be successful in maintaining or reducing the historical level of warranty claims or that
claims in relation to our products will not increase signif icantly. Actual or alleged instances of inferior product
quality or of damage caused or allegedly caused by our products including our aftermarket products, could damage
our reputation and brand and could lead to new or existing customers becoming less willing to conduct business
with us. In addition, events or allegations of malfunctioning products could lead to legal claims against us, and
we could incur substantial legal fees and other costs in defending such legal claims. The materialization of any of
these risks, alone or in combination, could damage our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

28. Our operations require significant energy, and any disruption to these power sources could increase our
production costs and adversely affect our results of operations.

We have considerable electricity requirements for our manufacturing facilities, and energy costs represent a
significant portion of the production costs for our operations. Energy related inputs like power and fuel are also
used in transportation of raw materials and finished products and operation of our manufacturing facilities. For

29
the six months ended September 30, 2020 and Fiscal 2020, our total power and fuel costs co mprised 1.52% and
1.29% of our total expenses on a consolidated basis, respectively . We primarily source our energy requirements
for our manufacturing facilities from local service providers. If supply is not available for any reason, we will
need to rely on alternative sources, which may not be able to consistently meet our requirements. The cost of
electricity purchased / generated in-house from alternative sources could be significantly higher, thereby adversely
affecting our cost of production and profitability.

Further, if for any reason such electricity is not available, we may need to shut down our plants until an adequate
supply of electricity is restored. Interruptions of electricity supply can also result in production shutdowns,
increased costs a ssociated with restarting production and the loss of production in progress. In addition, energy
prices, particularly for petroleum -based sources, are volatile and an increase in energy prices could lead to an
increase in transportation costs for us and our suppliers and customers as well as increase the cost of operating
our production facilities. Any such increase in costs could decrease our margins if we are unable to increase our
product prices enough to offset these increased costs.

29. We are required to obtain and maintain quality and product certifications for certain markets and
customers.

In some countries, certain certifications for products with regard to specifications and quality standards are
necessary or preferred in order for these products to be accepted by customers and markets. As such, we need to
be able to obtain and maintain the relevant certifications so that our customers are able to sell their products, which
include components that are manufactured by us, in these countries. In addition, some customers may also require
us to maintain certain standards and conduct inspections at regular intervals to ensure we maintain these standards.
Any failure to meet or maintain the requirements needed to secure or renew such certifications could result in a
material adverse effect on our business, prospects and results of operations.

Further, we are required to, and wherever applicable are, in the process of obtaining, renewing or rectifying certain
registrations, permits, licenses, certificates, authorizations and consents for certain of our operations. An inability
to secure such license, or any other licenses, certification, registrations and permits in other jurisdictions in a
timely manner or at all, could result in operational delays or susp ensions and/or administrative fines and penalties,
which could have a material adverse effect on the manufacturing operations of our relevant facilities in those
jurisdictions, as well as our overall business, results of operations and financial condition.

30. Our failure to keep our technical knowledge confidential could erode our competitive advantage.

Like many of our competitors, we possess extensive technical knowledge about our products. Our technical
knowledge is a significant independent asset, which may not be adequately protected by intellectual property
rights such as patent registration. Some of our technical knowledge is protected only by secrecy. As a result, we
cannot be certain that our technical knowledge will remain confidential in the long run.

Certain proprietary knowledge may be leaked, either inadvertently or wilfully, at various stages of the production
process. A significant number of our employees have access to confidential design and product information and
there can be no assurance that this information will remain confidential. Moreover, certain of our employees may
leave us and join our various competitors. Although we may seek to enforce non -disclosure agreements in respect
of R&D with our key employees, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully enforce such
agreements. Our customers and suppliers may also disclose technical knowledge shared during the course of our
interaction with them. The potential damage from such disclosure is increased as many of our designs and products
are not patented, and thus we may have no recourse against copies of our products and designs that enter the
market subsequent to such leakages. In the event that the confidential technical information in respect of our
products or business becomes available to third parties or to the general public, any competitive advantage we
may have over other companies in the automotive components sector could be harmed. If a competitor is able to
reproduce or otherwise capitalise on our technology, it ma y be difficult, expensive or impossible for us to obtain
necessary legal protection. Consequently, any leakage of confidential technical information could have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospec ts.

31. The discontinuation of, the loss of business with respect to, or lack of commercial success of, a particular
vehicle model for which we are a significant supplier could affect our business and results of operations.

Our purchase contracts typically provide for the purchase of our products for a specified time period for a
particular vehicle model and assembly plant. We may be unable to mitigate the impact of the foregoing as it could

30
be difficult to allocate the resulting available capacity in an efficient manner as a result of the manufacturing
facility and tooling customization that can be required for a particular product. As a result, the discontinuation of,
loss of business with respect to, lack of commercial success of, or fluctuations in demand for, a particular vehicle
model for which we are a significant supplier could reduce our sales and affect our estimates of anticipated sales,
which could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operat ions, cash flows and financial
condition.

32. We may be subject to unionization, work stoppages or increased labour costs, which could adversely
affect our business and results of operations.

The automotive industry is labour intensive. As on September 30, 2020, we had 6,199 persons working as
permanent employees and contractual / casual labour with our Company. In addition, we have entered into
arrangements with third party personnel companies for the supply of contract labour. Majority of our employees
are not unionized into any labour or workers’ unions. Th e success of our operations depends on availability of
labour and maintaining a good relationship with our workforce. Our success also depends on our ability to attract,
hire, train and retain skilled workers who are experienced in our operations. Although, we have not experienced
any major work stoppages due to labour disputes or cessation of work, there can be no assurance that we will not
experience any such disruption in the future as a result of dispu tes or disagreements with our work force, which
may adversely affect our ability to continue our business operations. We may also have to incur additional expense
to train and retain skilled labour. Any labour unrest experienced by us could directly or ind irectly prevent or hinder
our normal operating activities, and, if not resolved in a timely manner, could lead to disruptions in our operations.
In the event of any prolonged delay or disruption our business, results of operations and financial condition c ould
be materially and adversely affected. In addition, any increase in the minimum wages of our workforce would
result in an increase in our labour costs and such cost increase could adversely affect our financial performance.

33. Employee misconduct could harm us, adversely affect our business and results of operations, and is
difficult to detect and deter.

Although we closely monitor our employees, any misconduct (including acts of theft or fraud) by employees or
executives could bind us to transactions that exceed authorized limits or present unacceptable risks, which may
result in substantial financial losses and damage to our reputation and loss of business from our customers.
Employee or executive misconduct could also involve the improper use or disclosure of confidential information,
which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious reputational or financial harm, including harm to our brand.
It is not always possible to deter employee or executive misconduct and the precautions taken and systems put in
place to prevent and detect such activities may not be effective in all cases. Any instances of such misconduct
could adversely affect our reputation.

34. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to successfully manage,
or accurately report, our financial risks.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to prepare reliable financial reports and effectively avoid fraud.
Moreover, any internal controls that we may implement, or our level of compliance with such controls, may
deteriorate over time, due to evolving business conditions. There can be no assurance that deficiencies in our
internal controls will not arise in the future, or that we will be able to implement, and continue to maintain,
adequate measures to rectify or mitigate any such deficiencies in our internal controls. Any inability on our part
to adequately detect, rectify or mitigate any such deficiencies in our internal controls may adversely impact our
ability to accurately report, or successfully manage, our financial risks, and to avoid fraud.

35. We have not been strictly in compliance with our regulatory / statutory obligations in the past. Any
further non-compliance of this nature, or adverse order passed by a regulator or statutory authority
against us in this regard may affect our reputation, business, operations and financial condition.

We have not been strictly in compliance with SEBI Listing Regulations in the past, in light of not being able to
appoint the independent director on the board of directors of our erstwhile unlisted material subsidiary in
compliance with Regulation 24(1) of SEBI Listing Regulations. On June 15, 2019, following the approval of the
audited financial results of the Company for Fiscal 2019, Pricol Wiping Systems Czech s.r.o (“ Pricol Czech”)
was recognised as a material subsidiary of the Company. However, our Company had entered into a share purchase
agreement with Chroma GP LLC, Delaware, USA (“Chroma”) in June 2019 (“SPA”), for the sale of its majority
stake in certain of its subsidiaries, which included Pricol Espana Sociedad Limitada (“ Pricol Espana”) i.e. the
holding company of Pricol Czech, pursuant to which Pricol Czech would not remain a step -down subsidiary of

31
the Company. Thereafter, pursuant to its discussions with Chroma, the SPA was terminated in February 2020,
following which, the Board in its meeting on February 12, 2020, nominated Kasthuri Rangaian Ilango,
(independent director of the Company) to be appointed as the director of Pricol Czech. However, due to the
COVID 19 pandemic, and the consequential lockdown measures implemented by various countrie s across the
world, including India, Pricol Czech was unable to complete this appointment to their board. Subsequently, in
July 2020, the Company entered into a fresh share purchase agreement for the sale of its majority stake in Pricol
Espana and Pricol Czech, and such sale was completed in August 2020. As on date, Pricol Czech is not a subsidiary
of the Company. In this regard, please also refer to “Other Regulatory and Statutory Disclosures – Compliance
with conditions of fast track issue” on page 237.

In addition, our Company belatedly filed financial results, required to be filed in terms of Regulation 33(3) of the
SEBI Listing Regulations, on June 15, 2019, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, for which a monetary fine of
₹ 0.80 lakh was imposed by, and paid to, each of the Stock Exchanges.

Further, certain dues to the Investor Protection and Education Fund pertaining to Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014 (for
interim dividend) remained unpaid as on September 30, 2020 on account of certain technical glitch es with MCA
portal. The due dates for transferring the said amounts to the Investor Protection and Education Fund were
September 30, 2020 and September 22, 2020. The requisite amount has since been remitted on October 12, 2020
and October 7, 2020 respectively.

In future, there may be instances where we may be in default with regulations applicable to listed companies, or
any other statutes or regulations which are applicable to us. Any further non-compliance of this nature, or adverse
order passed by a regulator or statutory authority against us in this regard may affect our reputation, business,
operations and financial condition.

36. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on our future earnings, cash flows, working capital
requirements, capital expenditures and financial condition. Investors of Rights Equity Shares are only
entitled to dividend in proportion to the amount paid up and the voting rights (exercisable on a poll by
investors) shall also be proportional to such Investor's share of the paid-up equity capital of our
Company.

The amount of our future dividend payments, if any, will depend on various factors such as our future earnings,
cash flows, financial condition, working capital requirements, capital expenditure s and in accordance with
applicable laws. We may decide to retain all of our earnings to finance the development and expansion of our
business and, therefore, may not declare dividends on the Equity Shares. The amounts paid as dividends in the
past are not necessarily indicative of our Company’s dividend policy or the dividend amounts, if any, in the future.
There is no guarantee that any dividends will be declared or paid or that the amount thereof will not be decreased
in the future.

37. Compliance with, and changes in, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations or stringent
enforcement of existing environmental, health and safety laws and regulations may result in increased
liabilities and increased capital expenditures may adversely affect our cash flows, business results of
operations and financial condition.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health and safety and other regulatory and/ or statutory requirements
in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our project operations may generate dust, pollutants and waste, some of
which may be hazardous. We are accordingly subject to various n ational, state, municipal and local laws and
regulations concerning environmental protection in India, including laws addressing the discharge of pollutants
into the air and water, the management and disposal of any hazardous substances, and wastes and the clean-up of
contaminated sites. We cannot assure you that compliance with such laws and regulations will not result in a
material increase in our costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows and results
of operations. Further, manufacturing activities in India are also subject to various health and safety laws and
regulations as well as laws and regulations governing their relationship with their respective employees in areas
such as minimum wages, maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and terminating
employees, contract labour and work permits. Accidents, in particular fatalities, may have an adverse impact on
our reputation and may result in fines and/or investigations by public authorities as well as litigation from injured
workers or their dependents.

Non-compliance with these laws and regulations, which among other things, limit or prohibit emissions or spills
of toxic substances produced in connection with our operations, could expose us to civil penalties, criminal

32
sanctions and revocation of key business licences. Environmental laws and regulations in India are becoming
more stringent, and the scope and extent of new environmental regulations, including their effect on our
operations, cannot be predicted with any certainty. In case of any change in e nvironmental or pollution regulations,
we may be required to invest in, among other things, environmental monitoring, pollution control equipment, and
emissions management.

As a consequence of unanticipated regulatory or other developments, future enviro nmental and regulatory related
expenditures may vary substantially from those currently anticipated. We cannot assure you that our costs of
complying with current and future environmental laws and other regulations will not adversely affect our business,
results of operations or financial condition. In addition, we could incur substantial costs, our products could be
restricted from entering certain markets, and we could face other sanctions, if we were to violate or become liable
under environmental laws or if our products become non-compliant with applicable regulations. Our potential
exposure includes fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third -party property damage or personal injury claims and
clean-up costs.

38. We require various statutory and regulatory permits and approvals in the ordinary course of our
business, and the failure to obtain, renew or maintain them in a timely manner may adversely affect our
operations.

We require certain statutory and regulatory permits, approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions for our
business and operations. We may need to apply for further approvals in the future including renewal of approvals
that may expire from time to time. Our Company has currently made applications for (i) registration under the
Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 for Plants I and III, (ii)
registration under the Explosives Act, 1884 for Plant IV, and (iii) the consent to operate in terms of the Water
(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, for
Plant V. In addition, our Subsidiary, Pricol Wiping Systems India Limited, is yet to make an application for
registration under the Contract Labour Registration Act, 1970 for its manufacturing facility at Satara. There can
be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue (or renew) such permits or approvals in the timeframe
anticipated by us or at all.

Failure by us to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals at the requisite time may result in the
interruption of our operations and may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Further, we cannot assure that such approvals, licenses, registrations and permits would not be
suspended or revoked in the event of non-compliance or alleged non-compliance with any terms or conditions
thereof, or pursuant to any regulatory action. Any failure to renew the approvals that have expired or apply for
and obtain the required approvals, licenses, registrations or permits, or any suspension or revocation of any of the
approvals, licenses, registrations and permits that have been or may be issued to us or our sub-contractors, may
impede our operations.

39. We rely on our information technology systems for our operations and its reliability and functionality
is critical to the success of our business.

We rely on our information technology systems for our operatio ns and its reliability and functionality is critical
to our business success. Our growing dependence on the IT infrastructure, applications, and data has caused us to
have a vested interest in its reliability and functionality, which can be affected by a n umber of factors, including,
the increasing complexity of the IT systems, frequent change and short life span due to technological
advancements and data security. If our IT systems malfunction or experience extended periods of down time, we
may not be able to run our operations safely or efficiently. We may suffer losses in revenue, reputation and volume
of business and our financial condition and results of operation may be materially and adversely affected. So far,
we have not experienced any material widespread disruptions of service to our clients, but there can be no assurance
that we may not encounter disruptions in the future.

Further, our future success will depend in part on our ability to respond to technological advances and emerging
standards and practices on a cost effective and timely basis. In addition, Government authorities may require
adherence with certain technologies in the execution of projects and we cannot assure you that we would be able
to implement the same in a timely manner, or at all. Our failure to successfully adopt such technologies in a cost
effective and a timely manner could increase our costs (in com parison to our competitors who may be able to
successfully implement such technologies) and lead to us bidding at lower margins/loss of bidding opportunities
vis-à-vis such competitors. Any of the above events may adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.

33
40. Our operations are subject to risks of mishaps or accidents that could cause damage or loss to life and
property and could also result in loss in our business.

Our business operations are subject to operating risks, including fatal accidents, mishaps, failure of equipment,
power supply, labour disputes, natural disasters or other force majeure conditions which are beyond our control.
The occurrence of any of these factors could significantly affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Long periods of business disruption could result in a termination of our project agreements. Although we take
precautions to minimize the risk of any significant operational problems at our operation sites, there can be no
assurance that we will not face such disruptions in the future.

We may be exposed to various risks which we may not be able to foresee or may not have adequate insurance
coverage. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover such loss or damage to life and property, and any
consequential losses arising due to such events will affect our operations and financial condition. Further, in
addition to the above, any fatal accident or incident causing damage or loss to life and property, even if we are
fully insured or held not to be liable, could negatively affect our reputation, thereby making it more difficult for
us to conduct our business operations effectively, availability of insurance coverage in the future and our results
of operations. Such incidents could also potentially lead to legal claims for damages and t he liabilities and costs
arising out of such legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

41. We have certain contingent liabilities that have not been provided for in our financial statements, which
if they materialise, may adversely affect our financial condition.

As of March 31, 2020, our contingent liabilities on a consolidated basis, that have not been pro vided for were as
follows:

Particulars Amount (in ₹ lakhs)


Excise, service tax and customs 1,281.44
Labour related matters 1,608.00
Letter of credit 930.50
Guarantees 279.63
Total 4,099.57

For further details, see “Financial Statements” on page 104. If a significant portion of these liabilities materializes,
it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

42. There is outstanding litigation involving our Company and our Subsidiaries, which if determined
adversely, could affect our business and results of operations.

As on the date of this Letter of Offer, we are involved in certain civil, tax, regulatory and criminal proceedings
which are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals, forums and appellate
authorities. We cannot assure you that these legal proceedings will be decided in our favour. Decisions in
proceedings adverse to our interests may have a significant adverse effect on our business, management, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. In relation to tax proceedings, in the event of any adverse outcome,
we may be required to pay the disputed amounts along with applicable interest and penalty and may also incur
additional tax incidence going forward.

A summary of pending material civil, tax, regulatory and criminal proceedings involving our Company and our
Subsidiaries, as identified by our Company is provided below:

Company
Total Nil -

The amounts claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent ascertainable and include amounts
claimed jointly and severally. We cannot assure you that in matters where orders have been passed in our favour,
there will be no appeal from the other parties involved or whether we can ascertain the liabilities involved in such
matters at this stage unless we are impleaded in such proceedings. If any new developments arise, such as a change
in Indian law or rulings against us by appellate courts or tribunals, we may need to make provisions in our financial
statements that could increase our expenses and current or long term liabilities or reduce our cash and bank
balance. For further details, see section “Outstanding Litigation and Defaults” on page 233.

43. Our funding requirements and proposed deployment of the Net Proceeds are based on management
estimates and have not been independently appraised and may be subject to change based on various
factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Our Company proposes to utilize the Net Proceeds for its working capital requirements and towards general
corporate purposes. Our funding requirements and deployment of the Net Proceeds are based on internal
management estimates based on current market conditions, and have not been appraised by any bank or financial
institution or other independent agency. Further, in the absence of such independent appraisal, our funding
requirements may be subject to change based on various factors which are beyond our control. For details, see
“Objects of the Issue” on page 55.

In addition, we cannot assure you that use of the Net Proceeds to meet our future capital requirements,
fund our growth and for other purposes identified by our management would result in actual growth of
our business, increased profitability or an increase in the value of our business and your investment.

44. We are dependent on a number of key management personnel and senior management personnel and
the loss of such persons, or our inability to attract and retain key management personnel and senior
management personnel in the future, could adversely affect our business, growth prospects, results of
operations and cash flows.

Our ability to meet future business challenges depends on our ability to attract, recruit and retain talented and
skilled personnel. We are highly dependent on our Promoters, our Directors, senior management and other key
personnel, including skilled project management personnel. Our management and technical personnel are
supported by other skilled workers who benefit from regular in -house training initiatives and they are also
supported by external consultants with significant industry experience who are not permanent employees of our
Company. The loss of any of our Promoters, our Directors, senior management, external consultants or other key
management personnel, or an inability to manage the attrition levels in different employee categories may
materially and adversely impact our business, growth prospects, results of operations and cash flows.

We face competition to recruit and retain skilled and professionally qualified staff. Due to the limited availability
of skilled personnel, competition for senior management and skilled engineers in our industry is intense. We may

35
experience difficulties in attracting, recruiting and retaining an appropriate number of managers and engineers for
our business needs. The risk could be heightened to the extent we invest in business of geographical regions in
which we have limited experience. We may also need to increase our pay structures to attract and retain such
personnel. Our future performance will depend upon the continued services of these persons.

45. Certain of our Subsidiaries have incurred losses in Fiscal 2020 and may incur losses in the future which
may have an adverse effect on our reputation and business.

Certain of our Subsidiaries have incurred losses in the Fiscal 2020. The following table sets forth information on
the Subsidiaries of our Company that have incurred losses as per the audited standalone financial statements of
the respective entities in Fiscal 2020:
(₹ in lakhs)
S. No. Name of Subsidiary Losses after tax
1. PT Pricol Surya Indonesia 254.40
2. Pricol Wiping Systems India Limited 323.73

There can be no assurance that our Subsidiaries will not incur losses in the future which may have an adverse
effect on our reputation and business.

46. A downgrade in our credit rating could adversely affect our ability to raise capital in the future.

Our Company currently has a credit rating for long term fund based facilities of ‘BB+’ and ‘A4+’ for short term
fund based and non fund based facilities from ICRA. Our credit ratings, which are intended to measure our ability
to meet our debt obligations, are a significant factor in determining our finance costs. The interest rates of certain
of our borrowings may be significantly dependent on our credit ratings. A downgrade of our credit ratings could
lead to greater risk with respect to refinancing our debt and would likely increase our cost of borrowing and
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

47. We have, in the past, entered into certain transactions with related parties and may continue to do so in
the future. Any related party transactions that are not on an arm's length basis may adversely affect our
business, results of operation and financial condition.

We have, in the past, entered into certain transactions with related parties and may continue to do so in the future.
For further details, see “Financial Statements” on page 104. While we believe that all such transactions have been
conducted on an arms-length basis, there can be no assurance that we would not have achieved more favourable
commercial terms had such transactions not been entered into with related parties. Further, we may enter into
related party transactions in the future, and such transactions may potentially involve conflicts of interest. There
can be no assurance that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition.

48. Our insurance coverage could prove inadequate to satisfy potential claims and our insurance policies
may not protect us against all potential losses, which could adversely affect our business and results of
operations.

Our business operations are subject to various risks inherent in the manufacturing industry. While we believe that
the insurance coverage which we maintain is in keeping with industry standards and would be reasonably adequate
to cover the normal risks associated with the operation of our businesses, we cannot assure you that any claim
under the insurance policies maintained by us will be covered entirely, in part or on time, or that we have taken
out sufficient insurance to cover all our losses. In addition, our insurance coverage expires from time to time. We
apply for the renewal of our insurance coverage in the normal course of our business, but we cannot assure you
that such renewals will be granted in a timely manner, at acceptable cost or at all.

To the extent that we suffer loss or damage, or successful assertion of one or more large claims against us for
events for which we are not insured, or for which we did not obtain or maintain insurance, or which is not covered
by insurance, exceeds our insurance coverage or where our insurance claims are rejected, the loss would have to
be borne by us and our results of operations, financial performance and cash flows could be adversely affected.
For further information on our insurance arrangements, see “Our Business – Insurance” on page 96.

49. Our Company has taken an unsecured loan, which may be recalled at any time. Any recall of such loan
may have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

36
Our Company has taken an unsecured loan from a bank, according to the terms of which, it may be recalled at
any time at the option of the lender. If the unsecured loan is recalled at any time, the financial condition of our
Company may be adversely affected.

50. Industry information included in this Letter of Offer has been derived from an industry report
commissioned by us for such purpose. There can be no assurance that such third - party statistical,
financial and other industry information is complete, reliable or accurate.

We have not independently verified data obtained from industry publications and other external sources referred
to in this Letter of Offer and therefore, while we believe them to b e accurate, complete and reliable, we cannot
assure you that they are accurate, complete or reliable. Such data may also be produced on different bases.
Therefore, discussions of matters relating to India, its economy, the financial services industry, are subject to the
caveat that the statistical and other data upon which such discussions are based may be inaccurate, incomplete or
unreliable. Industry publications generally state that the information contained in those publications has been
obtained from sources believed to be reliable but their accuracy, adequacy or completeness and underlying
assumptions are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. Industry and government sources and
publications are also prepared on the basis of informatio n as of specific dates and may no longer be current or
reflect current trends. Industry and government sources and publications may also base their information on
estimates, forecasts and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. Accordingly, no investme nt decision should
be made on the basis of such information.

EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating to India

1. A prolonged slowdown in economic growth in India or financial instability in other countries,


particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, could cause our business to suffer.

The current contraction of the Indian economy could adversely affect our business, our lenders and contractual
counterparties, especially if such a contraction were to be prolonged. Prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19
pandemic, the Indian economy was widely acknowledged as being in a state of slowdown, due to the high rate of
inflation, the increase in the fiscal deficit and the Government’s borrowing program. The COVID-19 pandemic,
along with mandatory lockdowns and other restrictions put in place by sta te and central Governments in response,
have since had a severe disruptive impact on the Indian economy. In the aftermath of the pandemic, it is widely
believed that the Indian GDP is likely to see a negative growth rate in Fiscal 2021. This is compounded by a sharp
spike in unemployment rates and a widespread drop in household incomes. The pandemic has also brought severe
stress into supply chains. Accordingly, the long-term impact of the pandemic is currently unclear. While the
Government and the Reserve Bank of India have announced several measures to stimulate the Indian economy,
there is no assurance that the Indian economy shall return to its earlier growth trajectory once the pandemic
subsides, or at all.

In addition, the Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other
countries, particularly those of emerging market countries in Asia. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely
impacted the global economy, and as per the International Monetary Fund, may result in the most severe global
economic downturn since the “Great Depression” in the 1930s. Across countries, various industries have been
impacted sharply, including the tourism and hospitality industries, consumer spending has shrunk sharply, and
stock markets across the world have experienced unprecedented uncertainty and volatility. Major global economic
centres, including the United States and the Eurozone are in recession as a result of the pandemic. While the long-
term global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unclear, it is likely that there shall be a material
impact on global financial markets, including reduced liquidity, significant volatility, widening of credit spreads
and a lack of price transparency. In addition, investors’ reactions to developments in one country may also have
adverse effects on the economies of other countries, including the Indian economy. A loss of investor confidence
in the financial systems of other emerging markets may cause increased volatility in the Indian financial markets
and, indirectly, in the Indian economy in general. Such worldwide financial instability could influence the Indian
economy and could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations.

37
2. The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters could adversely affect our results of operations, cash
flows and financial condition. Hostilities, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence could
adversely affect the financial markets and our business.

The occurrence of natural disasters, including cyclones, storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, fires,
explosions, pandemic disease, with the most recent example being the global outbreak of COVID-19, or man-
made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions, could adversely affect our results of operations,
cash flows or financial condition. Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely affect the
Indian securities markets. In addition, any deteriora tion in international relations, especially between India and its
neighbouring countries, may result in investor concern regarding regional stability which could adversely affect
the price of the Equity Shares. In addition, India has witnessed local civil disturbances in recent years, and it is
possible that future civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic or political events in India could have
an adverse effect on our business. Such incidents could also creat e a greater perception that investment in Indian
companies involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on our business and the market price
of the Equity Shares.

3. Political instability or changes in the Government in India or in the Government of the states where we
operate could cause us significant adverse effects.

The Central Government has traditionally exercised, and continues to exercise, a significant influence over many
aspects of the Indian economy. Further, our business is also impacted by regulation and conditions in the various
states in India where we operate. Our business, and the market price and liquidity of our Equity Shares may be
affected by interest rates, changes in central or state Government policies, taxation and other political, economic
or other developments in or affecting India. Since 1991, successive Central Governments have pursued policies
of economic liberalisation and financial sector reforms. Any slowdown in these demand drivers or change in
Government policies may adversely impact our business and operations. Generally, a significant adverse change
in the Central Government’s policies could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations and could cause the trading price of our Equity Shares to decline.

4. We are affected by economic trends and adverse developments in the global economy and in countries
where we operate.

Our business is affected by general economic conditions, in particular levels of industrial and manufact uring
output in the industries and markets that we serve, and is susceptible to downturns in economies around the world,
including major economic centres such as the United States and Europe, as well as emerging markets such as
India, China, Mexico and Bra zil. General economic conditions and macroeconomic trends can affect overall
demand for our products and the markets in which we operate. Most of our revenue is derived from OEMs who
could be significantly impacted by adverse economic developments globally and particularly in India, Europe,
South East Asia and North America. During periods of slow economic activity, consumers may forego or delay
vehicle purchases, or purchase lower-priced models with fewer premium features, resulting in reduced demand
by our OEM customers for our products. If the economic environment in any of the markets from which we derive
substantial revenue declines, it may impact a significant number of our customers and, consequently, the demand
for our product lines, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and
adversely affected.

5. If there is a change in policies related to tax, duties or other such levies applicable to us, it may affect
our results of operations.

New or revised accounting policies or policies related to tax, duties or other such levies promulgated from time
to time by relevant tax authorities may adversely affect our results of operations. We cannot assure you as to what
action current or future Governments will implement regarding tax incentives or GST benefits. We may not be
able to comply with the obligations and stipulations that would allow us to avail ourselves of such benefits or
concessions, and consequently, we may lose such benefits and co ncessions.

6. We may be affected by competition law in India and any adverse application or interpretation of the
Competition Act could adversely affect our business.

The Competition Act regulates practices having an appreciable adverse effect on competition in any relevant
market in India. The Competition Act aims to, among others, prohibit all agreements and transactions which may
have an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India. Under the Competition Act, any formal or informal

38
arrangement, understanding or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect
on competition is considered void and may result in the imposition of substantial monetary penalties. Further, any
agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves the determination of p urchase or sale prices,
limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment or provision of services, shares
the market or source of production or provision of services by way of allocation of geographical area, type of
goods or services or number of customers in the relevant market or directly or indirectly results in bid -rigging or
collusive bidding is presumed to have an appreciable adverse effect on competition. The Competition Act also
prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise.

All agreements entered into by us could be within the purview of the Competition Act. We cannot predict the
impact of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered into by us at this stage. We are not
currently party to any outstanding proceedings, nor have we received notice in relation to non -compliance with
the Competition Act or the agreements entered into by us. However, if we are affected, directly or indirectly, by
the application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated
by the CCI, or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI or if any
prohibition or substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business,
results of operations and prospects.

7. It may not be possible for you to enforce any judgment obtained outside India against us, our
management or any of our respective affiliates in India, except by way of a suit in India on such
judgment.

We are incorporated under the laws of India and our Directors and executive officers reside in India. A substantial
portion of our assets, and the assets of our Directors and officers, are also located in India. As a result, yo u may
be unable to:

• effect service of process outside of India upon us and such other persons or entities; or

• enforce in courts outside of India judgments obtained in such courts against us and such other persons or
entities.

Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13 and Section 44A of the Civil
Procedure Code, on a statutory basis. Section 13 of the Civil Procedure Code provides that a foreign judgment
shall be conclusive regarding any matter directly adjudicated upon between the same parties or parties litigatin g
under the same title, except: (i) where the judgment has not been pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction;
(ii) where the judgment has not been given on the merits of the case; (iii) where it ap pears on the face of the
proceedings that the judgment is founded on an incorrect view of international law or a refusal to recognize the
law of India in cases in which such law is applicable; (iv) where the proceedings in which the judgment was
obtained were opposed to natural justice; (v) where the judgment has been obtained by fraud; or (vi) where the
judgment sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law then in force in India. India is not a party to any
international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments. However, Section 44A of
the Civil Procedure Code provides that a foreign judgment rendered by a superior court (within the meaning of
that section) in any jurisdiction outside India which the Government has by not ification declared to be a
reciprocating territory, may be enforced in India by proceedings in execution as if the judgment had been rendered
by a competent court in India. However, Section 44A of the Civil Procedure Code is applicable only to monetary
decrees not being in the nature of any amounts payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or in
respect of a fine or other penalty and does not include arbitration awards.

Among other jurisdictions, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United Arab Emirates,
Republic of Singapore and Hong Kong have been declared by the Government to be reciprocating territories for
the purposes of Section 44A of the Civil Procedure Code, but the USA has not been so declared. A judgment of a
court in a jurisdiction which is not a reciprocating territory may be enforced only by a fresh suit upon the judgment
and not by proceedings in execution. The suit must be brought in In dia within three years from the date of the
foreign judgment in the same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India. It is unlikely that
a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an action is bro ught in India.
Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments if it viewed the amount of
damages awarded as excessive or inconsistent with public policy of India. Further, any judgment or award in a
foreign currency would be converted into Rupees on the date of such judgment or award and not on the date of
payment. A party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain approval from the RBI to

39
repatriate outside India any amount recovered, and any such amount may be subject to income tax in accordance
with applicable laws.

8. Our Company has prepared financial statements under Ind AS. Significant differences exist between
Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as Indian GAAP, IFRS and U.S. GAAP.

Our Financial Statements have been prepared under Ind -AS, notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 read with the Companies Act, 2013. No attempt has been made to reconcile any
information given in this Letter of Offer to any other accounting principles or to base the information on any other
accounting standards. Ind-AS differs from other accounting principles with which prospective investors may be
familiar, such as Indian GAAP, IFRS and U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the degree to which the Financial Statements
included in this Letter of Offer will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of
familiarity with Ind AS.

9. Any downgrading of India's debt rating by an international rating agency could adver sely affect our
business and the price of our Equity Shares.

Any adverse revisions to India's credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies
may adversely affect our business, our future financial performance, our sha reholders' funds and the price of our
Equity Shares.

Risks Relating to the Equity Shares and this Issue

10. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of our Equity Shares.

Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity
Shares are generally taxable in India. Any gain realized on the sale of the Equity Shares on a stock exchange held
for more than 12 months will not be subject to capital gains tax in Ind ia if the securities transaction tax has been
paid on the transaction (subject to section 112A of the Income Tax Act, 1961). The securities transaction tax will
be levied on and collected by an Indian stock exchange on which the Equity Shares are sold. Any gain realized
on the sale of the Equity Shares held for more than 12 months, which are sold other than on a recognized stock
exchange and on which no securities transaction tax has been paid, will be subject to capital gains tax in India.
Further, any gain realized on the sale of the Equity Shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be subject
to capital gains tax in India. Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will be exempt from taxation
in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India is provided under a treaty between India and the
country of which the seller is resident. Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on
capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own
jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the Equity Shares. Additionally, in terms of the Finance Act, 2018, which
has been notified on March 29, 2018 with effect from April 1, 2018, the tax payable by an assessee on the capital
gains arising from transfer of long term capital asset (introduced as section 112A of the Income-Tax Act, 1961)
shall be calculated on such long term capital gains at the rate of 10%, where the long term capital gains exceed ₹
100,000, subject to certain exceptions in case of a resident individuals and HUF. Further, the Fina nce Act, 2019
has made various amendments in the taxation laws and has also clarified that, in the absence of a specific provision
under an agreement, the liability to pay stamp duty in case of sale of securities through stock exchanges will be
on the buyer, while in other cases of transfer for consideration through a depository, the onus will be on the
transferor. The stamp duty for transfer of securities other than debentures, on a delivery basis is specified at
0.015% and on a non-delivery basis is specified at 0.003% of the consideration amount. These amendments have
been notified on December 10, 2019 and have come into effect from July 1, 2020.

11. Investors will not have the option of getting the allotment of Equity Shares in physical form.

In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the Equity Shares shall be issued only in dematerialized form.
Investors will not have the option of getting the allotment of Equity Shares in physical form. The Equity Shares
Allotted to the Applicants who do not have demat accounts or who have not specified their demat details, will be
kept in abeyance till receipt of the details of the demat account of such Applicants. For details, see “ Terms of the
Issue” on page 246. This may impact the ability of our shareholders to receive the Equity Shares in the Issue.

40
12. We will not distribute the Letter of Offer, Abridged Letter of Offer and Application Form to overseas
Shareholders who have not provided an address in India for service of documents.

We will dispatch the Issue Material to shareholders who have provided a n address in India for service of
documents. The Issue Material will not be distributed to addresses outside India on account of restrictions that
apply to circulation of such materials in overseas jurisdictions. However, the Companies Act requires companies
to serve documents at any address, which may be provided by the members as well as through e -mail. Presently,
there is lack of clarity under the Companies Act and the rules made thereunder with respect to distribution of Issue
Material in overseas jurisdictions where such distribution may be prohibited under the applicable laws of such
jurisdictions. While we have requested all the shareholders to provide an address in India for the purposes of
distribution of Issue Material, we cannot assure you that th e regulator or authorities would not adopt a different
view with respect to compliance with the Companies Act and may subject us to fines or penalties .

13. Our Company shall endeavour to dispatch physical copies of the Issue Material to Eligible Equity
Shareholders. However, we may be unable to complete delivery of such Issue Material due to the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Our Company shall also endeavour to dispatch physical copies of the Issue Material to Eligible Equity
Shareholders who have provided an Indian address to our Company. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic, restrictions such as the nationwide lockdown and corresponding logistical limitation, we may be unable
to complete delivery of such Issue Material. Pursuant to relaxations granted under SEBI circulars bearing
reference number SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/78 dated May 6, 2020 read with circular bearing reference
number SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL1/CIR/P/2020/136 dated July 24, 2020, our Company, the Lead Manager and the
Registrar will not be liable for non-dispatch of physical copies of Issue Material, including this Letter of Offer,
the Abridged Letter of Offer, the Rights Entitlement Letter and the Application Form.

14. You may not receive the Equity Shares that you subscribe in the Issue until 15 days after the date on
which this Issue closes, which will subject you to market risk.

The Equity Shares that you may be allotted in the Issue may not be credited to your dema t account with the
depository participants until approximately 15 days from the Issue Closing Date. You can start trading such Equity
Shares only after receipt of the listing and trading approval in respect thereof. There can be no assurance that the
Equity Shares allocated to you will be credited to your demat account, or that trading in the Equity Shares will
commence within the specified time period, subjecting you to market risk for such period.

15. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will be listed, or continue to be listed, on the Indian stock
exchanges in a timely manner, or at all, and prospective investors will not be able to immediately sell
their Equity Shares on a Stock Exchange.

In accordance with Indian law and practice, final approval for listing and trading of our Equity Shares will not be
applied for or granted until after our Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Such approval will require the
submission of all other relevant documents authorizing the issuance of our Equity Shares. Accordingly, there
could be a failure or delay in listing our Equity Shares on the NSE and BSE, which would adversely affect your
ability to sell our Equity Shares.

16. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law that limits our ability
to attract foreign investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.

Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between non-residents and
residents are freely permitted (subject to certain exceptions) if they comply with the requirements specified by the
RBI. If the transfer of shares is not in compliance with such requirements or falls under any of the specified
exceptions, then prior approval of the RBI will be required. In addition, shareholders who seek to convert the
Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India
will require a no-objection or tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority. Additionally, the Indian
government may impose foreign exchange restrictions in certain emergency situations, including situations where
there are sudden fluctuations in interest rates or exchange rates, where the Indian government experiences extreme
difficulty in stabilizing the balance of payments or where there are substantial disturbances in the financial and
capital markets in India. These restrictions may require foreign investors to obtain the Indian government’s
approval before acquiring Indian securities or repatriating the interest or dividends from those securities or the

41
proceeds from the sale of those securities. There can be no assurance that any approval required from the R BI or
any other government agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.

17. Failure to exercise or sell the Rights Entitlements will cause the Rights Entitlements to lapse without
compensation and result in a dilution of shareholding.

Rights Entitlements that are not exercised prior to the end of the Issue Closing Date will expire and become null
and void, and Eligible Equity Shareholders will not receive any consideration for them. The proportionate
ownership and voting interest in our Company of Eligible Equity Shareholders who fail (or are not able) to
exercise their Rights Entitlements will be diluted. Even if you elect to sell your unexercised Rights Entitlements,
the consideration you receive for them may not be sufficient to fully compensa te you for the dilution of your
percentage ownership of the equity share capital of our Company that may be caused as a result of the Issue.
Renouncees may not be able to apply in case of failure in completion of renunciation through off -market transfer
in such a manner that the Rights Entitlements are credited to the demat account of the Renouncees prior to the
Issue Closing Date. Further, in case, the Rights Entitlements do not get credited in time, in case of On Market
Renunciation (the last day for which is Friday, December 11, 2020), such Renouncee will not be able to apply in
this Issue with respect to such Rights Entitlements.

18. There may be less information available in the Indian securities markets than in more developed
securities markets in other countries.

There is a difference between the level of regulation and monitoring of the Indian securities markets and that of
the activities of investors, brokers and other participants in securities markets in more developed economies. SEBI
is responsible for monitoring disclosure and other regulatory standards for the Indian securities market. SEBI has
issued regulations and guidelines on disclosure requirements, insider trading and other matters. There may be,
however, less publicly available information about Indian companies than is regularly made available by public
companies in more developed countries, which could adversely affect the market for our Equity Shares. As a
result, investors may have access to less information about our business, financial condition, cash flows and results
of operation, on an ongoing basis, than investors in companies subject to the reporting requirements of other more
developed countries.

19. Our Promoters and Promoter Group may not have the ability to control or influence the outcome of
matters submitted to shareholders for approval.

As at September 30, 2020, our Promoters and the Promoter Group collectively hold 36.53% of the total share
capital of our Company. As long as our Promoters and the Promoter Group do not hold the majority stake in the
Company, they may not have the ability to control or influence the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders
for approval, including (i) matters relating to sale of all or part of our business; (ii) mergers, acquisitions or
disposals of assets; (iii) the distribution of dividends; (iv) appointment or removal of our directors or officers; and
(v) our capital structure or financing. This could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial
condition, and cash flows.

20. We may, at any time in the future, make further issuances or sales of our Equity Shares, and this may
significantly dilute your future shareholding and affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.

Any future equity issuances by us, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our Company. Any
future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by our Promoters or other major shareholders may
adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse conseq uences for us
including difficulty in raising capital through offering of our Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. In
addition, any perception that such issuance or sales of shares may occur, may lead to dilution of your shareholding,
significantly affect the trading price of our Equity Shares and our ability to raise capital through an issue of our
securities. There can be no assurance that such future issuance by us will be at a price equal to or more than the
Issue Price. Further, there can be no assurance that we will not issue further shares or that the major shareholders
will not dispose of, pledge or otherwise encumber their shares.

21. Rights of shareholders under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.

Our Articles of Association and Indian law govern our corporate affairs. Legal principles relating to these matters
and the validity of corporate procedures, Directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may
differ from those that would a pply to a corporate entity in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian

42
law may not be as extensive as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors
may have more difficulty in asserting their rights as one of our shareholders than as a shareholder of a bank or
corporate entity in another jurisdiction. In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, the voting rights
of an equity shareholder in a company shall be in proportion to the share of a person in the paid-up equity share
capital of that company.

22. Applicants to this Issue are not allowed to withdraw their Applications after the Issue Closing Date.

In terms of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, Applicants in this Issue are not allowed to withdraw their Applications
after the Issue Closing Date. The Allotment in this Issue and the credit of such Equity Shares to the Applicant’s
demat account with its depository participant shall be completed within such period as prescribed under the
applicable laws. There is no assurance, however, that material adverse chan ges in the international or national
monetary, financial, political or economic conditions or other events in the nature of force majeure, material
adverse changes in our business, results of operation or financial condition, or other events affecting the
Applicant’s decision to invest in the Rights Equity Shares, would not arise between the Issue Closing Date and
the date of Allotment in this Issue. Occurrence of any such events after the Issue Closing Date could also impact
the market price of our Equity Shares. The Applicants shall not have the right to withdraw their applications in
the event of any such occurrence. We cannot assure you that the market price of the Equity Shares will not decline
below the Issue Price. To the extent the market price for the Equity Shares declines below the Issue Price after the
Issue Closing Date, the shareholder will be required to purchase Rights Equity Shares at a price that will be higher
than the actual market price for the Equity Shares at that time. Should that occu r, the shareholder will suffer an
immediate unrealized loss as a result. We may complete the Allotment even if such events may limit the
Applicants’ ability to sell our Equity Shares after this Issue or cause the trading price of our Equity Shares to
decline.

23. The R-WAP payment mechanism facility proposed to be used for this Issue may be exposed to risks,
including risks associated with payment gateways.

In accordance with SEBI circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/78 dated May 6, 2020 read with SEBI circu lar
SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL1/CIR/P/2020/136 dated July 24, 2020, a separate web based application platform, i.e., the R -
WAP facility (accessible at https://rights.integratedindia.in), has been instituted for making an Application in this
Issue by resident Investors. Further, R-WAP is only an additional option and not a replacement of the ASBA
process. On R-WAP, the resident Investors can access and fill the Application Form in electronic mode and make
online payment using the internet banking or UPI facility from t heir own bank account thereat. For details, see
“Terms of the Issue – Procedure for Application through the R-WAP” on page 259. Such payment gateways and
mechanisms are faced with risks such as:

• keeping information technology systems aligned and up to date with the rapidly evolving technology in
the payment services industries;

• scaling up technology infrastructure to meet requirements of growing volumes;

• applying risk management policy effectively to such payment mechanisms;

• keeping users’ data safe and free from security breaches; and

• effectively managing payment solutions logistics and technology infrastructure.

Further, R-WAP is a new facility which has been instituted due to challenges arising out of COVID-19 pandemic.
We cannot assure you that R-WAP facility will not suffer from any unanticipated system failure or breakdown or
delay, including failure on part of the payment gateway, and therefore, your Application may not be completed or
rejected. These risks are indicative and any failure to manage them effectively can impair the efficacy and
functioning of the payment mechanism for this Issue. Since Application process through R -WAP is different from
the ASBA process, there can be no assurance that investors will not find difficulties in accessing and using the R-
WAP facility.

24. SEBI has recently, by way of circulars dated January 22, 2020 and May 6, 2020 (read with the circular
dated July 24, 2020), streamlined the process of rights issues. You should follow the instructions
carefully, as stated in such SEBI circulars, and in this Letter of Offer.

The concept of crediting Rights Entitlements into the demat accounts of the Eligible Equity Shareholders has
recently been introduced by the SEBI. Accordingly, the process for such Rights Entitlements has been recently
devised by capital market intermediaries. Eligible Equity Shareholders are encouraged to exercise caution,
carefully follow the requirements as stated in the SEBI circulars dated January 22, 2020 and May 6, 2020, read
with SEBI circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL1/CIR/P/2020/136 dated July 24, 2020, and ensure completion of all
necessary steps in relation to providing/updating their demat account details in a timely manner. For details, see
“Terms of the Issue” on page 246. In accordance with Regulation 77A of the SEBI ICDR Regulations read with
the SEBI Rights Issue Circulars, the credit of Rights Entitlements and Allotment of Rights Equity Shares shall be
made in demateria lized form only. Prior to the Issue Opening Date, our Company shall credit the Rights
Entitlements to (i) the demat accounts of the Eligible Equity Shareholders holding the Equity Shares in
dematerialised form; and (ii) demat suspense escrow account (namely, ‘Pricol Limited Rights Suspense Escrow
Account’) opened by our Company, for the Eligible Equity Shareholders which would comprise Rights
Entitlements relating to (a) Equity Shares held in a demat suspense account pursuant to Regulation 39 of the SEBI
Listing Regulations; or (b) Equity Shares held in the account of IEPF authority; or (c) the demat accounts of the
Eligible Equity Shareholder which are frozen or details of which are unavailable with our Company or with the
Registrar on the Record Date; or (d) Equity Shares held by Eligible Equity Shareholders holding Equity Shares in
physical form as on Record Date where details of demat accounts are not provided by Eligible Equity Shareholders
to our Company or Registrar; or (e) credit of the Rights Entitlements returned/reversed/failed; or (f) the ownership
of the Equity Shares currently under dispute, including any court proceedings.

25. The Eligible Equity Shareholders holding Equity Shares in physical form will have no voting rights in
respect of Rights Equity Shares until they provide details of their demat account and Rights Equity
Shares are transferred to such demat account from the demat suspense account thereafter.

The Rights Equity Shares will be credited to a demat suspense account to be ope ned by our Company, in case of
Allotment in respect of resident Eligible Equity Shareholders holding Equity Shares in physical form and who
have not provided the details of their demat account to the Registrar or our Company at least two Working Days
prior to the Issue Closing Date. Such Eligible Equity Shareholders are required to send, among others, details of
their demat accounts to our Company or the Registrar within six months from the Allotment Date. Unless and
until such Eligible Equity Shareholders provide details of their demat account and the Rights Equity Shares are
transferred from demat suspense account to such demat accounts thereafter, they will have no voting rights in
respect of Rights Equity Shares. For details, see “Terms of the Issue” on page 246.

26. The Eligible Equity Shareholders holding Equity Shares in physical form and who do not provide details
of their demat accounts within six months of Allotment Date, may suffer loss in case of sale of their
Rights Equity Shares by our Company at the prevailing market price.

The Rights Equity Shares will be credited to a demat suspense account to be opened by our Company, in case of
Allotment in respect of resident Eligible Equity Shareholders holding Equity Shares in physical form and who
have not provided the details of their demat account to the Registrar or our Company at least two Working Days
prior to the Issue Closing Date. Such Eligible Equity Shareholders are required to send, among others, details of
their demat accounts to our Company or the Registrar within six mont hs from the Allotment Date. For details, see
“Terms of the Issue” on page 246.

Our Company (with the assistance of the Registrar) shall, after verification of the details of such demat account
by the Registrar, transfer the Rights Equity Shares from the demat suspense account to the demat accounts of such
Eligible Equity Shareholders. In case of non-receipt of such details of demat account, our Company shall conduct
a sale of such Rights Equity Shares lying in the demat suspense account on the floor of the Stock Exchanges at
the prevailing market price and remit the proceeds of such sale (net of brokerage, applicable taxes and
administrative and incidental charges) to the bank account mentioned by the resident Eligible Equity Shareholders
in their respective Application Forms and from which the payment for Application Money was made. Proceeds
of such sale (net of brokerage, applicable taxes and administrative and incidental charges) may be higher or lower
than the Application Money paid by such Eligible Equity Shareholders. We cannot assure you that such proceeds
by way of sale of such Rights Equity Shares will be higher than the Application Money paid by you, and that you
shall not suffer a loss in this regard.

44
Further, in case, bank accounts of the aforesaid Eligible Equity Shareholders cannot be identified due to any reason
or bounce back from such bank accounts, our Company may use payment mechanisms such as cheques, demand
drafts etc. to remit the proceeds of sale of the Rights Equity Shares to such Eligible Equity Shareholders. If such
bank account from which Application Money was received is closed or non -operational, the sale proceeds will be
transferred to IEPF in accordance with practice on Equity Shares and as per applicable law.

27. Investors will be subject to market risks until our Equity Shares credited to the investor’s demat account
are listed and permitted to trade.

Investors can start trading our Equity Shares Allotted to them only after they have been credited to an investor’s
demat account, are listed and permitted to trade. Since our Equity Shares are currently traded on the Stock
Exchanges, investors will be subject to market risk from the date they pay for our Equity Shares to the date when
trading approval is granted for the same. Further, there can be no assurance that our Equity Shares allocated to an
investor will be credited to the investor’s demat account or that trading in such Equity Shares will commence in
a timely manner.

28. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law that limits our ability
to attract foreign investors, which may adversely impact the market price of our Equity Shares.

Foreign investment in Indian securities is subject to regulation by Indian regulatory authorities. Under the FDI
Policy, issued by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry,
Government of India, foreign investment up to 100% is permitted in our sector, subject to satisfaction of certain
conditions. Also, under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between
non-residents and residents are permitted (subject to certain exceptions) if they comply with, among other things,
the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares does not comply
with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements, or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then
prior approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to con vert the Rupee proceeds
from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate any such foreign currency from India will require
a no objection or a tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority. We cannot assure you that any required
approval from the RBI or any other Government agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.

29. Overseas shareholders may not be able to participate in the Company’s future rights offerings or certain
other equity issues.

If the Company offers or causes to be offered to holders of its Equity Shares rights to subscribe for additional
Equity Shares or any right of any other nature, the Company will have discretion as to the procedure to be followed
in making such rights available to holders of the Equity Shares or in disposing of such rights for the benefit of
such holders and making the net proceeds available to such holders. For instance, the Company may not offer
such rights to the holders of Equity Shares who have a registered address in the United States unless:

• a registration statement is in effect, if a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act is required in
order for the Company to offer such rights to holders and sell the securities represented by such rights; or

• the offering and sale of such rights or the underlying securities to such holders are exempt from registration
under the provisions of the U.S. Securities Act.

The Company has no obligation to prepare or file any registration statement. Accordingly, shareholders who have
a registered address in the United States may be unable to participate in future rights offerings and may experience
a dilution in their holdings as a result.

30. Holders of our Equity Shares could be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under
Indian law and could thereby suffer future dilution of their ownership position.

Under the Companies Act, a company incorporated in India must offer holders of its equity shares pre -emptive
rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentages
prior to the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived by the adoption of
a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares who have voted on such resolution. However,
if the law of the jurisdiction that you are in does not permit the exercise of such pre-emptive rights without us
filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, you will
be unable to exercise such pre-emptive rights unless we make such a filing. We may elect not to file a registration

45
statement in relation to pre-emptive rights otherwise available by Indian law to you. To the extent that you a re
unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of our Equity Shares, you may suffer future dilution of
your ownership position and your proportional interests in us would be reduced.

31. Your ability to acquire and sell the Rights Equity Shares offered in the Issue is restricted by the
distribution, solicitation and transfer restrictions set forth in this Letter of Offer.

No actions have been taken to permit a public offering of the Rights Equity Shares offered in the Issue in any
jurisdiction except India. As such, our Rights Equity Shares and / or Rights Entitlements have not and will not be
registered under the U.S. Securities Act, any state securities laws or the law of any jurisdiction other than India.
Further, your ability to acquire Rights Equity Shares and / or Rights Entitlements is restricted by the distribution
and solicitation restrictions set forth in this Letter of Offer. For further information, see “ Notice to Investors” and
“Other Regulatory and Statutory Disclosures – Selling Restrictions” and “Restrictions on Purchases and Sales”
on pages 8, 242 and 283 respectively. You are required to inform yourself about and observe these restrictions.
Our representatives, our agents and us will not be obligated to recognize any ac quisition, transfer or resale of the
Rights Equity Shares made other than in compliance with applicable law.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Our Company was incorporated as ‘Pricol Pune Limited’, a public limited company, on May 18, 2011, under the
Companies Act, 1956 and was granted a certificate of incorporation by the RoC Maharashtra. Our Company was
granted a certificate of commencement of business by the RoC Maharashtra on July 8, 2011. Thereafter, pursuant
to the conversion of our Company to a private limited company, in terms of Section 31(1) of the Companies Act,
1956, with effect from April 30, 2012, the name of our Company was changed to ‘Pricol Pune Private Limited’.
Subsequently, the name of our Company was changed to ‘Johnson Controls Pricol Private Limited’ and a fresh
certificate of incorporation was issued by the RoC Maharashtra dated July 11, 2012. The name of our Company

In 2021 the advanced economy growth rate is projected to strengthen to 4.8 percent, leaving 2021 GDP for
the group about 4 percent below its 2019 level.

In 2021 the growth rate for emerging market and developing economies is project ed to strengthen to 5.9
percent, largely reflecting the rebound forecast for China (8.2 percent). The growth rate for the group,
excluding China, is expected to be –5.0 percent in 2020 and 4.7 percent in 2021, leaving 2021 GDP for this
subset of emerging market and developing economies slightly below its 2019 level.

Emerging Asia is projected to have a nominal decline rate in 2020 (-0.8%). The rebound in 2021 with
projected growth rate of 7.4% in emerging Asia depends critically on the pandemic fading in t he second half
of 2020, allowing containment efforts to be gradually scaled back and restoring consumer and investor

65
confidence.

2.3 Auto Industry performance FY 2019-20

The auto industry went through one of the most challenging years in FY20, with sales falling by double -
digits across all segments compared to FY19 (i.e. PVs and 2Ws sales fell by 18% and CVs by 29%). The
expectation was of a decent FY21 for the industry. The coronavirus pandemic further amplified the sharp
economic slowdown and dealt a decisive blow to an already bleeding auto industry.

The economic impact of novel coronavirus, or COVID19, led lockdown in all major world economies will
be significant. The revival depends on how long the lockdown continues. For the domestic automotive
industry, which is already going through a tough phase, the current scenario is becoming even more
challenging.

Overall, automobile export reached 4.77 million vehicles in FY20, growing at a CAGR of 6.94 per cent
during FY16- FY20. Two wheelers made up 73.9 per cent of the vehicles exported, followed by passenger
vehicles at 14.2 per cent, three wheelers at 10.5 per cent and commercial vehicles at 1.3 pe r cent.

2.4 Future Trends in Automotive Industry

With the advancement of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and Internet of Things (IoT),
the automobile industry has made some significant leaps towards growth and development.

The utopian image of the future – with cars that run on eco-friendly fuel and can drive themselves – isn’t too
far away now. Four major trends that are shaping the future of the automobile industry are clubbed together
under the acronym C.A.S.E. The acronym stands for Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric.

3. Overview of Indian Auto Component Industry

The Indian Auto components industry registered a turnover of Rs. 3,498 Billion in 2019 -20, consisting of
domestic supplies to OEMs, domestic aftermarket sales and exports. The sector has grown at a rate of 7%
since 2011-12 and at 11% over the last decade. Auto components sector growth has been majorly driven by
a growing domestic automobile market, emergence of India as a global hub for the ma nufacture of small sized
engines and cars, inherent cost advantages, favorable policies for manufacturing in India and increase in the
number and scale of global and domestic component manufacturers.

The Indian auto component industry is ancillary to the automobile industry. Demand swings in any of the auto
segments (Commercial vehicles, cars, two and three-wheelers) have an impact on the auto ancillary demand.

68
Indian Auto Component Industry is transforming itself from a low-volume, highly fragmented one into a
competitive industry backed by strengths like technology, efficiency and evolving value chain.

The industry mainly caters to 2 segments –

(1) Original Equipment manufacturers (OEM);


(2) Replacement market (Aftermarket).

During FY20, OEM continued to dominate the auto component market contributing about 55 -57% of the
industry turnover followed by the export market at about 25 -27%. Domestic aftermarket (replacement market)
accounted for a bout 15-16% of the industry.

3.1.2 Automobile Clusters in India

72
The industry can be broadly classified into the organized and the unorganized sectors. The organized
sector caters mostly to OEMs (vehicle manufacturers), while the unorganized sector comprises relatively
lower value-added products and caters primarily to the replacement market. The user industry for auto
component manufacturers operates in a cyclical environment, leading to periods of low profitability.

Most auto component manufacturers, moreover, do not enjoy adequate bargaining power with their much
larger OEM customers or with their large raw material (metal) suppliers. While most OEMs extend
support to their key suppliers to help them meet their working capital requirement s through arrangements
like supplier bills discounting; during periods of downturns, the suppliers’ credit periods could be
stretched.

However, in terms of turnover, organized market holds about 80 -85% share while the remaining comes
from the unorganized players.

3.1.3 Logistics, Supply Chain and Location of the plant

The auto ancillary industry is primarily located in and around the auto clusters. In India, there are 3 major
auto clusters, namely, Gurgaon- Manesar in the north, around Pune-Aurangabad in the west and around
Chennai in the south. In the recent times, Gujarat has emerged as a new auto hub. The Tier-I and Tier-II
suppliers are generally located in the vicinity of the OEM’s units, while the unorganized segment is
spread across the country.

OEMs generally follow a just-in-time policy for raw material procurement. So, proximity of the ancillary
manufacturer’s plant to the OEM’s plant helps in supplying the products at the right time and at lower
costs. Location of the company’s plant in the major auto clusters of the country gives it access to multiple
OEMs and Tier I suppliers. Location of the plant in duty-free zones is also looked at favorably as it
translates into GST and income-tax benefits of the company. Furthermore, the presence of the suppliers
of the auto component companies in the auto clusters benef its the ancillary in terms of timely sourcing
of raw material with cost benefits. While assessing import dependence, supplies from few countries or
suppliers can create significant concentration risk and at times be faced with disruption in the supply
chain.

3.1.4 Technology and Product Complexity

An auto component manufacturer, with a high value-added product portfolio and high entry barriers due
to technology or capital-intensive operations, tends to enjoy better pricing flexibility compared to
manufacturers of low value-added products with low entry barriers for competition. With the automobile
industry moving towards shorter product lifecycles and common platforms, the ability of a supplier to
meet an OEM’s product development requirements continues to rema in critical for sustained business
growth. With increasing pressure on product pricing, an entity’s efforts towards product engineering to

73
reduce costs and enable product differentiation also plays a critical role in strengthening relationship with
the OEM.

Spend on research and development (R&D) is an indicator of an entity’s commitment towards product
development and innovation. R&D expenses in the Indian auto component industry remain low (<1% of
revenues) as compared to developed markets, where some of th e larger players invest ~8–10% of their
revenues in R&D. In India, several auto component manufacturers have entered into technical
collaborations with international Tier I manufacturers for the transfer of technical knowledge; or have
formed equity partnerships with foreign players to meet the OEMs’ technical requirements. Suppliers
that have proprietary knowledge, tend to enjoy superior profitability metrics, relative to those that cater
to customer-provided designs. The presence of a strong technology pa rtner not only mitigates technology
obsolescence risk to an extent, but in some cases also provides additional business opportunities to
domestic establishments of their global customers. Product complexity is measured by the extent of
research and development involved, product validation, precision in shape forming and machining
operations, and component assembly.

4. Growth Drivers of Indian Auto-Component Industry

a) Low car penetration & Rising family income: India has about 120 vehicles (all segments including
19 cars per 1000) on every 1000 people right now, which is expected to rise to almost 300 in next 10
years.

USA UK Japan/Korea Russia Brazil China India

India has a low vehicle penetration rate compared with other countries, with just 50 passenger cars per
1,000 people (FY 2019-20).

As of 2015, approximately 108 million people were considered to be middle class in India, or about 9%
of the population. This figure is forecast to reach 200 million people by FY 2020 and 470 million by FY
2030 – by 2027, it is expected that India will be adding more people to the global middle class than
China.

b) Urbanisation: Urbanisation was 33.2% of India’s population in 2019 and expected to reach 36.2% by
2025 – on a larger population base, warranting a need for more vehicles. This would create opportunity
for sales of passenger as well as commercial vehicles. By 2050, 60% of Indians will live in cities. Delhi,
Mumbai, and Kolkata will be among the world’s largest cities and cumulatively become home to ~100
million people. This rapid urbanization would increase the demand of vehicles.

c) Greater Availability of cheaper and easier finance: All nationalized and scheduled banks offers loans
for purchase of new vehicles at very low interest rates. In India nearly 70 -75% of the new vehicle
purchases are done by using bank loans. This indicates that Indian auto industry is unique in the way
vehicles are purchased by consumers.

5. Factors Affecting the Two Wheelers Industry

a) Low Penetration Drive: despite India being the world’s largest two-wheeler market, India still has very
low penetration level of two wheelers.

74
Two Wheeler Penetration (Per 000 People)
400
281 291

Phillipines India Malaysia Indonesia Thailand

In India, about 102 out of 1000 people have two -wheelers, which is less than half of penetration levels in
Indonesia (281) and Thailand (291). Two-wheeler penetration level in Urban India is close to 40-45% while
in Rural India it is close to 20-25% resulting in to a national average of 30-40%. We believe, growin g
urbanization, rising participation of women workforce and improvement in road connectivity amongst others
are key catalyst to drive improvement in penetration levels for two wheelers. As a result, the entire values
chain in two-wheelers starting from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to component supplier is
likely to witness steady growth in coming times.

b) Improvement in rural India to drive demand for motorcycles especially for entry level segment

Rural India has been one of the main sources of consumption demand in India, mainly due to a large
population residing in this area. In two-wheeler segment, motorcycle sales are predominantly dependent on
Rural India, as people living in rural area prefer motorcycle to scooters given its sturdy structure, superior
performance, and lower costs, especially in the economy segments. With government keen on improving the
standard of living of rural population, in particularly of farmers, it has been announcing various schemes and
increasing budget allocation, which is targeted towards increasing the rural income levels. In addition to
rising penetration level of two-wheelers and rising income levels driving the sales growth of motorcycle
companies particularly strong in entry-level motorcycle segment, improving road connectivity is also
resulting in driving the demand for two-wheelers in Rural India. Further, OEMs have been offering heavy
discounts on models in entry-level segment like Bajaj CT100 and Bajaj Platina, which is targeted towards
Rural India/commuter segment, in order to gain market share

6. Factors influencing Production and Demand of Commercial vehicle:-

Technology Improvements: With evolving regulatory requirements (i.e. emission norms and safety
regulations) and foray of international OEMs, the domestic OEMs are steadily investing in developing new
and advanced platforms that enable them to compete more effectively with international OEMs. As a result,
while evaluating competitive positioning of an OEM going forward, due importance is given to an OEM’s
future product development strategy, technology tie-ups and R&D plans. This is typically quantified by
assessing the company’s outlay towards R&D and capital expenditure (as % of sales).

7. Auto Industry Outlook

The Indian automobile industry, already dented by a protracted downturn before the Covid -19 pandemic, is
in for an even more severe and prolonged disruption, as the global situation and domestic lockdown snaps
major links of its supply chain.
Currently, India sources 80-85% of components for all vehicle segments domestically, mainly from the
National Capital Region (NCR; including Gurgaon, Manesar, Faridabad and Greater Noida), Pune (includin g
Chakan, Talegaon and Ranjangaon), Mysuru and Sriperumbudur and Hosur clusters. The rest is imported.

a) Passenger Vehicle Outlook:

Passenger Vehicle Production Trends Forecast

The Indian passenger car market has declined at a CAGR of -3.2 % from FY 2016 to FY 2020 in
terms of sales and is expected to grow by 3.1% by 2024.

75
b) Two Wheelers Outlook

Two wheeler sales in India will contract by 11 per cent to 18.5 million units in the year 2020 -21.
Sales volumes will be at a six-year low during the period. Motorcycle sales are projected to decline
by 10.3 per cent to 12.8 million units. Sales of scooters are expected to fall by 12.1 per cent to 5.2
million units.

8. Auto Component Industry Outlook

The automotive industry faced a prolonged slowdown in FY 2019 -20 with vehicle sales in all segments
plummeting significantly. Subdued vehicle demand, investments made for transition from BSIV to BSVI, liquidity
crunch, lack of a clarity on policy for electrification of vehicles and slow-down in key export markets, among
others, had an adverse impact on the performance of the components sector in India as also on its expansion plans
The industry faced acute challenges on the front of working capital, production and dysfunctional logistics.
However, with unlocking of economy, growth seems to be returning to the industry with uptick in vehicle
consumption especially in the two-wheelers, passenger vehicles and the tra ctor segments, although sales of
commercial vehicles continue to be challenged. The component industry’s performance is expected to return to

77
pre-COVID levels by the festive season should the ramp-up be not stymied by lockdowns in manufacturing zones
and lack of availability of manpower

Overview

We are one of the leading manufacturers of automotive components in India, catering primarily to automotive
OEMs, both domestically and overseas. We manufacture a wide range of technology-intensive electronic and
mechanical automotive products. These have applications across vehicle segments, including for two -wheelers,
three-wheelers, four-wheeler passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and
tractors. We also cater to the construction equipment segment in the global market.

We have a diversified product portfolio, which is spread across three major verticals. These include:

i) Driver information systems: Under this vertical we manufacture and design products including
instrument clusters (both analog and digital) which indicate data such as vehicle speed, fuel level, and
coolant temperature; speedometers to indicate vehicle speed; and pressure gauges to indicate the pressure
of oil in the engine. Our share in the market for driver information systems for two-wheelers in India is
currently 38.50%, while our share in the market for driver information systems for commercial vehicles
in India is 48.90% (Source: CARE Report).

ii) Pumps and mechanical products: Under this vertical we manufacture and design products including
fuel pump modules which ensures the delivery of the requisite amount of fuel with specified pressure to
the injector; oil pumps to provide oil lubrication to engine parts at the required pressure and deliverin g
sufficient flow; and chain tensioners which ensure the maintenance of tension by exerting force through

79
the rubber pad of the chain guide provided in between the chain tensioner and the cam chain. Our share
in the market for oil pumps for two-wheelers in India is currently 37.90% (Source: CARE Report).

iii) Switches and sensors: This involves the manufacture and design of products including fuel level sensors
to measure the fuel level in the tank; speed sensors to measure vehicle speed; and temperature switches,
which are signal sender devices which alert when the temperature ra nges beyond the safe working limit.
Our share in the market for fuel sensors for two-wheelers in India is currently 25.90% (Source: CARE
Report).

Through our Subsidiary, Pricol Wiping Systems India Limited, we also design and manufacture wiping systems,
including wiper sets and wiper motors.

We have established seven manufacturing facilities spread across five states in India and two manufacturing
facilities owned and operated by our Subsidiaries, PT Pricol Surya Indonesia and PT Sripri Wiring Systems, in
Indonesia . For further details, see “ – Our Manufacturing Facilities” on page 92. Our manufacturing facilities
have a high degree of backward integration. We employ an extensive and stringent quality control mechanism at
each stage of the manufacturing process in these facilities to ensure that our finished product conforms to the exact
requirement of our customers. All of our manufacturing facilities in India and Indonesia conform to the
requirements of the IATF 16949 standard.

We have built strong and long-standing relationships with our customers by aligning our offerings with their
business needs. We have followed a deliberate strategy, by way of which, we have gradually expanded our
manufacturing presence across India following our customers’ manufacturing footprint. Our manufacturing
facilities are located in key auto-clusters in the northern, southern, and western parts of India, which ensures that
these facilities are in close proximity to the plants of our OEM customers. While this allows us to optimise delivery
to our customers, the proximity of our manufacturing facilities to those of our OEM customers also facilitates
greater interaction with our customers, thereby enabling us to respond to their requirements in a timely manner.
We believe that our proximity to our key customers has played a strong role in building and strengthening our
relationship with such customers over time. In recognition of our efficient services and products, we have received
several awards and recognitions from our customers such as an award in 2019 at the annual supplier conference
of a leading manufacturer and supplier of heavy construction machines and a certificate of appreciation in
recognition of our performance in supply excellence from a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer. Our strong,
long-standing relationship with our major customers has been one of the most significant factors contributing to
our growth.

Further, through two research and development centres located in Coimbatore, which are registered with the
DSIR, we undertake our research, design and development activities. We have been able to diversify our product
range mainly due to our technological capabilities and our design and development, which we benefit from. We
are able to provide novel solutions to our customers, since our design and development team works in conjunction
with our sales and marketing team to understand our customers’ needs and develop solutions suited to their
requirements.

Our revenue from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and Fiscal 2020 was ₹ 48,259.62 lakhs
and ₹ 1,53,853.20 lakhs, respectively. Our profit / (loss) for the period for the six months ended September 30,
2020 and Fiscal 2020 was ₹ 1,866.63 lakhs and ₹ (9,875.43) lakhs, respectively.

Our competitive strengths

Our primary competitive strengths are as follows:

Diversified product portfolio

Our portfolio comprises precision engineered products under three major verticals, which include, driver
information systems (including instrument clusters, speedometers, and pressure gauges); pumps and mechanical
products (including fuel pump modules, oil pumps, purge control valves, and chain tensioners); and switches and
sensors (including fuel level sensors, speed sensors, and temperature switches. We have, over the years, diversified
into products across various verticals and product segments. Our strength in our product portfolio is exhibited by
the fact that we have significant presence and long term relationships with our customers in each of our product
segments. Such a diversified portfolio enables us to increase our capacity utilisation, allows deployment of

80
technology across associated industries, and vertical deployment of our capabilities for forward and backward
integration.

We also believe that our robust product portfolio enables us to provide integrated solutions for a wide array of our
customers’ requirements. We attempt to leverage this expansive portfolio to become an integral part of our
customers’ manufacturing supply chains. In addition to helping increase the number of our customers, this has
also enabled us to expand the range of products that we supply to our customers. To achieve this, typically, we
enter into a relationship with a new customer and attempt to demonstrate the quality and cost efficien cy of our
products, relying on which, we expand into other product segments with such customers. This allows us to deepen
our relationships with these customers and grow our overall business. We believe that with our evolving
manufacturing capabilities, we will be able to grow our market share by supporting our strategy of increasing our
share of customer spend per vehicle.

We also believe that the evolution of our product portfolio demonstrates our ability to expand our offerings to
meet the needs of our OEM customers. For instance, we recently upgraded various product offerings in response
to changing customer needs owing to change in regulation governing emission norms in India. Accordingly, most
of our products were upgraded for compliance with BS VI emission norms. These include the f uel pump module,
connected clusters, purge control valves for two wheelers, and instrument clusters for commercial vehicles and
passenger vehicles. This also necessitated establishing a ssembly lines required for manufacturing such new
products at our manufacturing plants. We are committed to working closely with our customers and offering them
solutions; we work with them from the early stages of design and product development to engineering and
manufacturing basis their requirements in terms of technology, specifications, styling, reliability standards, etc.
This allows us to collaborate deeply with our customers and develop curated solutions to address their needs.
Towards achieving this, we have a dedicated design and development team that assists in the design and
development of products to serve customers. We also have set up two R&D facilities in Coimbatore which are
registered with the DSIR. Our R&D team enables us to provide solutions to improve manufacturing efficiency on
the existing products, reduce production costs, and introduce innovative solutions to meet the varied requirements
of our customers thereby allowing us to achieve time efficiency in development of new products and technologies.

Strong customer relationships with major OEMs

We have long-standing relationships with automotive OEM customers in India and 22 countries overseas,
including in the United States, Germany, and Indonesia . We constantly strive to gain an increasing share of our
OEM customers’ auto component requirements. We attempt to leverage existing relationships and credibility
established with our customers to cross sell multiple products to them. We typically enter into a customer
relationship and strengthen it by relying on the quality and cost efficiency of our products. We have, in the past,
been able to leverage relationships with our customers to expand our portfolio of product offerings. In doing so,
we are able to gain a significant advantage over our competitors. For example, due to our strong relationships with
our existing customers, we have been able to procure high value mandates for various components required to
transition to BS VI norms, including the fuel pump module, connected clusters, purge control valves for two
wheelers, and instrument clusters for passenger and commercial vehicles.

Our OEM customers typically have rigorous and time-consuming selection procedures for procurement of
components from manufacturers. These procedures include review of the manufacturers’ expertise, available
infrastructure, financial capabilities, and logistical capabilities, among others. We believe that our long-term
relationships with these customers and increasing volume of supply to them is testament to our ability to
consistently meet such requirements, the flexibility in our operations to meet changes in demand, and our track
record of ensuring delivery of high quality products, while ensuring cost competitiveness. Our consistent delivery
of products irrespective of the size and scale of demand has helped us in maintaining relationships with customers,
both in India and abroad. We also believe that our long-standing relationship with our key customers is reflective
of our ability to successfully identify and serve their requirements. Our manufacturing facilities a re situated in
some of the key automotive manufacturing clusters in the India, thereby ensuring that we are in close proximity
to the plants of our OEM customers. This allows us the flexibility to remain in constant communication with our
customers and to work with them on an ongoing basis to engineer products to meet their designs and specifications.
Partnering with our key customers to develop products also strengthens our relationship with these customers and
results in customer dependence on us. Moreover, partnering with customers in this manner helps to reduce the
cost of development, by reducing testing time and avoiding duplication of work. We also rely on our customers
for their feedback on the metrices of quality, cost, and delivery. We have instituted a mechanism wherein our
customers provide regular feedback on these metrices, which we then analyse to identify focus areas for
performance improvement.

Strategically located manufacturing facilities with extensive backward integration

Our Company’s manufacturing facilities are strategically located in Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Maharashtra,
Uttarakhand, and Andhra Pradesh and are situated in some of the key automotive manufacturing clusters in India.
This ensures that our facilities are close to those of a large number of our customers; our manufacturing facilities
in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra are in close proximity to our customers in the southern and
western parts of India, while our manufacturing facilities located in Haryana and Uttarakhand ensure proximity
to our customers in the northern and the north-eastern parts of India. We have also, through our Subsidiaries, PT
Pricol Surya Indonesia and PT Sripri Wiring Systems, established two manufacturing facilities in Indonesia, which
cater to two-wheeler manufacturers, primarily in Thailand. Our strategy to establish our manufacturing facilities
across geographic regions provides us the opportunity to target a multiplicity of automotive manufacturing
clusters, thereby enabling us to expand our customer base as well as product portfolio , and consequently,
supporting our strategy to reduce volatility in our sales due to fluctuations in market demand for the products of
any specific OEM.

This is in line with our long-term strategy to set up manufacturing facilities close to our OEM customers’ plants
which, we believe, has been key to establishing and maintaining a strong relationship with our OEM customers.
Our presence in proximity to our customers allows us to optimise our deliveries to them and facilitates greater
interaction with them, thereby enabling us to respond to their requirements adequately and in a timely manner.
Further, setting up our manufacturing facilities near their manufacturing facilities reduces logistical and operating
costs, which allows to supply products to them in a cost-competitive manner.

We also have extensive backward integration capabilities at our manufacturing facilities and significant number
of our processes are conducted in-house, in comparison to our competitors. This backward integration gives us
the flexibility to control our manufacturing processes and reduces dependence on external suppliers. It enables to
be consistent and reliable supplier to our customers. In addition, it facilitates us to pursue greater efficiencies of
cost, time, quality and scale in our manufacturing processes. We continue to strive to improve our backward
integration capabilities across all of our manufacturing facilities.

In addition, we have optimized our manufacturing operations by executing a number of sustainable cost
improvement initiatives. We have also made significant investment in capital expenditure, investing ₹ 1,713.67
lakhs and ₹ 6,275.88 lakhs in the six months ended September 30, 2020 and Fiscal 2020, respectively. These have
been primarily incurred towards the setting up of assembly lines for new products that we have won mandates for
and which have subsequently been productionized.

Strong design and development and technological capabilities

We place a strong emphasis on design, development, and testing, which, we believe, are fundamental to growin g
our product range and enhancing its performance, cost, and reliability. Our design and development efforts seek
to capitalize on emerging trends such as the increased use of electronics, stricter environmental regulations,
emission reduction and light-weighting of vehicles, as well as the em ergence of new technologies. Towards this,
we have established an engineering and technology group, which focuses on design and product and process
development. As of September 30, 2020, we had 276 engineers, designers, technicians, and support staff working
as part of the engineering and technology group. We have also set up two R&D facilities in Coimbatore which
are registered with the DSIR. We incurred ₹ 1,022.32 lakhs and ₹ 4,776.06 lakhs towards research and
development expenditure, which is 2.12% and 3.10% of our revenue from operations for the six months ended
September 30, 2020 and Fiscal 2020, respectively.

One of the primary functions of the engineering and technology group is to prepare a technology road map for our
products and processes to ensure the sustenance and growth of our business. Members of the group frequently
visit our customers to assess customer requirements in terms of technology, cost, and delivery. This information
is then relied on to design, develop, test, and eventually manuf acture products that are in line with our customers’
needs and expectations. By partnering with our customers and with other prominent component manufacturers,
we are able to strengthen our own product design and development team. This has been one of the primary factors
in the expansion of our product offerings.

We have also invested in high-quality testing equipment, software, and human resources, in our design and
development for each of our product segments. Through our investment, we believe that we have developed strong
product design capabilities, which allow us to develop new products and service our customers effectively and in

a timely manner. Our design and development capabilities allow us to reduce the testing and validation workload
that our customers need to undertake on our products, thus allowing them to outsource those processes to us and
increasing their dependence on us.

As testament to our research, design, and development efforts, we have been granted 11 patents to date in India
and overseas jurisdictions and have applied for six patents for a wide range of products.

Experienced and qualified management team

We have a well – qualified management team that has significant experience in all aspects of our business. Our
management team is led by our Promoters, Vijay Mohan, Vanitha Mohan (who serves as our Chairman), and
Vikram Mohan (who serves as our Managing Director).

Additionally, our senior management possesses extensive industry and management experience which has given
us a specialized understanding of the complexities involved in the manufacturing of automotive components and
the processes involved. Our business growth is also attributable to our strong management culture fostered by an
entrepreneurial spirit, each product segment being managed by experienced and hands-on segment heads having
in-depth knowledge of our industry. Our experienced and dedicated manageme nt team also enables us to capture
market opportunities, formulate and execute business strategies, manage client expectations as well as proactively
manage changes in market conditions.

Our key strategies

The key elements of our strategy are as follows:

Expansion of our customer base by focusing on India and other high-growth markets and increasing wallet
share from our existing OEM customers

We continue to focus on increasing our customer base, both in India and other high-growth markets. In volume
terms, India ranks as the largest market for two-wheelers as well as tractors globally. It is also among the top five
and top 10 markets for medium and heavy commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles, respectively. Further, it
is projected that domestic auto-component production revenue growth shall increase by 10% - 13% in Fiscal 2022
(Source: CARE Report). For more information, see “Industry Overview” on page 65 of this Letter of Offer.

In view of our significant experience with the automotive component market in India (including in the sale of
components to manufacturers of two-wheelers, tractors, commercial vehicles, and passenger vehicles) and our
focus on delivering quality products, we believe that we are well positioned to capture the growth opportunity in
these segments in the automotive component manufacturing industry in India and overseas.

Further, we intend to continue to focus on manufacturing products for our existing customers in the two-wheeler,
three-wheeler, four-wheeler passenger vehicle, light commercial vehicle, heavy commercial vehicle, tractor, and
construction equipment segments in India and overseas. In order to expand our business with these customers, we
intend to focus on marketing our existing products as well as design and develop new products based on such
customers’ feedback and needs, thereby deepening our customer relationships. Further, we intend to leverage our
track record of quality, cost and delivery, as well as our product and process know-how, to consolidate our position
as a preferred supplier to such OEM customers.

We also seek to expand our global reach through increased customer acceptance of our products in international
markets. As the globalisation trend continues and barriers to trade in various markets are reduced across the world,
we believe that an export oriented strategy offer us business advantages. The Indian automotive component
industry is transforming itself from a low-volume, highly fragmented one into a competitive industry backed by
strengths such as technology, efficiency and an evolving value chain. As per forecasts, automobile component
exports from India are expected to reach $ 80 billion by 2026 (Source: CARE Report). We believe that this trend
coupled with our relationship with reputed international OEMs provide us with opportunities to further grow our
export sales. Our products are exported to 22 countries overseas, including the United States, Germany, and
Indonesia . We intend to leverage the best cost advantages of manufacturing in India and aim to initiate exports
into other countries. India’s geographic location coupled with initiatives by GoI to increase local component
manufacturing eco system will help us in exporting competitively to these countries, as compared to other regional
hubs such as China. An increase in our exports will also lower the impact of the volatility of the domestic market

83
on our business leading to higher capacity utilisation of our manufacturing facilities. Further, the export revenue
will act as a natural foreign currency hedge against imports of several components.

Increase capacity in existing product portfolio and enhance capacity utilization

We aim to continue to be one of the leading manufacturers of automotive components in India in terms of quantity
and sales. As on September 30, 2020, our aggregate installed capacity at our seven manufacturing facilities in
India for the manufacture of driver information systems, pumps and mechanical products, switches and sensors,
and other products was 100.04 lakh units, 238.64 lakh units, 159.72 lakh units, and 19.35 lakh units, respectively.
The table below provides the annual installed capacity across each of our manufacturing facilities in India as on
March 31, 2020 and as on September 30, 2020:

We believe that increasing our capacities is critical to enable us to continue to capitalize upon the growing demand
for automotive components in India and abroad. Further, we also intend to capitalize on the unutilized capacity at
our manufacturing facilities to further increase production of our current portfolio and take advantage of the

84
experience of our sales and marketing team to increase acceptance for our products and enhance our visibility in
the domestic market.

Continually improve our design, development, and testing capabilities in order to focus on advanced
technology, high value-add products

Our customers’ demand for higher quality performance in automotive components is growing. As a result, we
place a strong emphasis on maintaining advanced product design and development capability led by our
engineering and technology group. A critical component of our strategy is the constant enhancement of design,
development, and testing capabilities to enable us to provide advanced, high value -added products.

We believe that high-value added and technology-driven components will provide us with early-mover advantages
and higher profit margins, and will present us with opportunities to capture shifts in customer preferences as well
as evolving regulatory requirements, such as heightened emissions control standards. By providing high -value
added and innovative products, we believe that we will be able to become a preferred supplier to our customers,
thus giving us the opportunity to consolidate our position with our customers and increase the share of their supply
needs that we fulfil.

To enhance our design, development, and testing capabilities we are undertaking a number of short -term and long-
term initiatives. In line with these initiatives, we plan to expand our talent pool and increase the manpower in our
engineering and technology group.

We have been granted 11 patents to date in India and overseas jurisdictions and we expect that our enhanced
research and design capabilities will culminate in increased patent applications and design registrations, improved
product development time and enhanced product quality.

Pursuing selective acquisitions, partnership opportunities, and inorganic growth

We intend to continue to pursue strategic alliances and inorganic growth opportunities, with targets that are
complementary to our business. We are mainly focused on growing existing product lines and in opportunities
that provide us access to better technology for our products and allow us to diversify our product and customer
base.

We have historically expanded our business through a combination of organic growth, acquisitions and strategic
alliances with our customers and with other component manufacturers. For example, we have expand ed our
operations in Europe and South America with acquisitions in the past. Similarly, we have historically entered into
agreements with a number of partners across vehicle segments in order to ensure that we deliver high quality and
technologically advanced products at competitive prices to our customers. These agreements have allowed us to
expand our product and technology base, thereby strengthening our business. We will continue to evaluate similar
strategic alliances or acquisition opportunities that arise in other markets and we aim to harness our experience of
acquiring and integrating new operations in other markets. We will seek to combine our low-cost base and
manufacturing capabilities with high-end technologies through agreements with global automotive components
manufacturers to obtain a competitive advantage.

Ensure efficiency and cost optimisation and enhance innovation and design capabilities

Since automotive OEMs seek to reduce the cost of manufacturing, we, in turn, constantly endeavour to reduce the
costs of our operations while ensuring the quality of our products. We have centralised planning, marketing and
raw material procurement teams that help us reduce cost and achieve operational efficiencies and economies of
scale. We have also implemented innovative strategic cost-saving and efficiency improvement measures. We
intend to continue further integration of our manufacturing facilities and to carry out most of the processes in -
house to maximise our efficiencies. We have undertaken in itiatives to improve safety, reduce costs, and bring
efficiency in all processes with objectives such as reduction of cost of input material, optimisation of tool
consumption by using designated tools for designated processes, reduction of waste, reduction of power and
utilities costs and loss elimination. We aim to continue the culture of innovation as we propose to undertake other
initiatives and programmes aimed at enhancing operational efficiencies and optimising asset and material flows.

We also intend to enhance our research and development and design capabilities which provide us with a
competitive advantage with respect to quality, product development and cost, as well as to continuously explore
sustainable cost improvement initiatives for our opera tions.

85
We also look to focus on our relationships with vendors to ensure that our quality, costs and delivery objectives
are met and we have taken steps such as regular audits of major vendors for this purpose. We will continue to
have a centralised approach towards sourcing and vendor management to gain economies of scale in raw material
procurement.

We have also, through our Subsidiaries, PT Pricol Surya Indonesia and PT Sripri Wiring Systems, established two
manufacturing facilities in Indonesia, which cater to two-wheeler manufacturers, primarily in Thailand.

Through our Subsidiary, Pricol Wiping Systems India Limited, we also design and manufacture wiping systems,
including wiper sets and wiper motors, through its manufacturing facility in Satara, Maharashtra.

93
Raw material / bought out parts and suppliers

One of the critical factors to develop and grow in our business is to possess the ability to source good quality raw
materials at competitive prices. The essential raw materials used by our facilities for manufacturing our products
are copper wires, distaloy AB, iron powders, ADC 12, PMMA, PBT, duracon, polycarbonate sheet, AES, ABS,
and TFPP, among others. In addition, we also source bought out parts that we require for assembly. We are reliant
on our Subsidiary, Pricol Asia Pte Limited, for a portion of o ur requirement for bought out parts; this entity is
primarily involved in the procurement of imported bought out parts and subsequent distribution to our Company.
Our cost of materials consumed in the six months ended September 30, 2020 and Fiscal 2020, wa s ₹ 31,953.73
lakh and ₹ 1,03,119.93 lakh, which represented 66.21% and 67.02%, of our revenue from operations, respectively.

We source our raw material from both domestic and overseas sources. For the sourcing of raw material, while we
enter into supply agreements with our suppliers, we do not enter into any firm commitment for long-term contracts.
In addition, for certain of our raw materials, we typically agree a fixed per-unit price for raw materials for each
purchase order and for that purchase order, we bear the raw material price risk. Depending on how raw material
prices fluctuate, we may then be able to adjust the raw material prices for future purchase orders.

As we generally require components that are specifically designed and developed to meet our needs, we employ
a component sourcing strategy that is targeted at developing relationships with long – term suppliers who can
meet our component needs. Consequently, we have developed a long – term supplier base with an established
supply chain. This ensures the timely availability of components of desirable quality and quantity.

We have a diversified supplier base and we believe that this helps us in minimising supplier risk due to low
supplier concentration. Suppliers undergo qualification process (called quality assurance validation and vendor
performance rating) with us to ensure that we are satisfied that the supplied raw materials are of appropriate
quality. While we do not have any long – term contracts with any of our raw material suppliers, we have
maintained a long term relationship with each of the major suppliers.

Customers

Our customers are predominantly automotive OEMs operating across segments, including for two-wheelers,
three-wheelers, four-wheeler passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and
tractors. We also cater to the construction equipment segment in the global market. We believe our competitive
pricing policy coupled with our ability to offer customized solutions to our customers has enabled us to grow our
presence not just in India, but in overseas markets as well. Further, we have also incorporated Subsidiaries in
Singapore and Indonesia and set up overseas offices in Singapore and Japan to strengthen our marketing and
customer outreach.

Our revenue generated from customers within India in the six months ended September 30, 2020 and Fiscal 2020,
was ₹ 44,840.74 lakh and ₹ 1,16,995.14 lakh, whereas the revenue generated from our customers outside India
was ₹ 3,418.88 lakh and ₹ 36,858.06 lakh, in the same period.

We typically have purchase orders and do not ordinarily enter into supply agreements with our customers. The
purchase orders specify prices and quantities for the products. However, the delivery of the products ordered is
based on delivery schedules that are independently negotiated with customers. These purchase orders are typically
subject to conditions including such as ensuring that all products delivered to the customers have been inspected
and are built to customers’ specifications and that orders are fulfilled according to predetermined delivery
schedules.

Sales, marketing and distribution

Our marketing network is managed by our business development team, led by our Chief Marketing Officer, who
are in charge of marketing strategies specific to their assigned product vertical / geography. We supply our
components directly to the automotive OEMs, both in India and overseas. We leverage our relationships with our
existing customers to procure repeat orders from them, as well as invitations to develop new products for their
new models. Based on our credentials and recognitions awarded to us by our valued existing customers, we
approach new customers for business. Our management has flexibility to accept customers’ specific requirements
while negotiating and discussing development of new products.

94
In addition, we are also involved in the after market sales of all of the products that we manufacture. This is done
through a network of 164 distributors, with whom we ordinarily enter into short term agreements. These
distributors, in turn, coordinate with dealers, wholesalers, and retailers for the aftermarket sales of our products.

Utilities

For our operations, we need a significant amount of power and fuel. For the six months ended September 30, 2020
and Fiscal 2020, our total power and fuel costs comprised 1.52% and 1.29% of our total expenses on a consolidated
basis, respectively. We primarily rely on public utilities for our manufacturing operations.

The manufacturing of our products requires the steady supply of electricity, along with a high electricity load.
This apart, the process of manufacturing requires an uninterrupted and constant voltage power. This ensures that
the products are of high quality, and also increases the productivity and lifetime o f our machines and equipment.
We have made arrangements for captive power generation through generator sets in all manufacturing facilities,
apart from machines which are equipped with voltage stabilizers. We have also, across all our manufacturing
facilities, set up solar power panels.

Our manufacturing processes also require water, although they are not water intensive. The requirement for water
is met primarily by sourcing through outside resources, or through local utility companies.

Quality control and services

In the automotive component industry, adherence to quality standards is critical, since any defects in any of the
products manufactured by our Company, or failure to comply with the specifications of our customers, may lead
to cancellation of their purchase order. In order to maintain the quality standards and comply with the design
specifications provided by our customers and to ensure that our products successfully pass all validations and
quality checks, the quality control team , led by our Chief Quality Officer, is tasked not only with thorough pre-
manufacturing checks and balances but also with employing an extensive and stringent quality control mechanism
at each stage of the manufacturing process including inspection of raw materials; in-process inspection of
products; and test of finished goods, among other processes.

We employ an extensive and stringent quality control mechanism at each stage of the manufacturing process to
ensure that our finished product conforms to the exact requ irement of our customers. All of our manufacturing
facilities in India and Indonesia conform to the requirements of the IATF 16949 standard.

Information technology

We have implemented various IT solutions and enterprise resource planning solutions to cover key areas of our
operations. We extensively use technology for product life cycle management, customer order management and
dispatches, production planning and reporting, manufacturing processes, financial accounting and scheduling raw
material purchase.

We intend to continue to focus on and make investments in our IT systems and processes, including our backup
systems, to improve our operational efficiency, custo mer service and decision making process and to reduce
manual intervention and the risk of system failures and the negative impacts these failures may have on our
business thereby improving reliability and efficiency of our business and operations.

Intellectual property

Patents

As on the date of this Letter of Offer, we have registered 11 patents in India and overseas and have applied for six
patents for a wide range of products in India and overseas.

Trade marks

We have registered 63 trade marks in India and overseas across various classes, including classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7,
8, and 9.

95
Health, safety and environment

We continually aim to comply with the applicable health , environment, and safety regulations and other
requirements in our business operations. We constantly take initiatives to reduce the risk of accidents at our
facilities by carrying out trainings, safety audits, and by installing safety devices such as sensors, exhaust, fire
extinguishers. We observe and celebrate safety day in our facilities to improve awareness among employees on
safety at workplaces.

Environmental requirements imposed by the Government will continue to have an effect on us and our operations.
We believe that we have complied with, and will continue to comply with , all applicable environmental laws,
rules and regulations. We have obtained, or are in the process of renewing, all material environmental consents
and licenses from the relevant governmental agencies that are necessary for us to carry on our business. Our
activities are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of India which govern , inter alia, air emissions,
waste water discharges, the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. Our overseas
subsidiaries are also subject to regulations relating to environmental, health and safety measures.

Human resource

As on September 30, 2020, we had 6,199 persons working as permanent employees and contractual / casual labour
with our Company. We undertake selective and need-based recruitment every year to maintain the size of our
workforce, which may otherwise decline as a result of attrition and retirement of employees. Our personnel
policies are aimed towards recruiting the talent that we need, facilitating the integration of our employees into the
Company and encouraging the development of skills in order to support ou r performance and the growth of our
operations.

Insurance

Our operations are subject to various risks inherent in the automotive component manufacturing sector.
Accordingly, we have obtained various insurance policies, including product liability insurance, signature
management liability insurance, group personal accident insurance, comprehensive general liability insurance,
standard fire and special perils insurance, and burglary insurance among, others.

Corporate social responsibility

As a part of our corporate social responsibility (“CSR”), we have setup a CSR Committee comprising of our
Directors, Vanitha Mohan, Vikram Mohan, and Kasthuri Rangaian Ilango. In addition to activities undertaken
directly, our Company’s CSR activities are carried out through a registered trust, ND Foundation, and a Section
8 Company, Yashaswi Academy for Skills.

In our efforts towards corporate social responsibility, we focus on healthcare, sanitation, safety, and education.
Some of the key CSR initiatives undertaken by us include setting up eye and medical camps, providing water
purifiers, facilitating fire safety and first aid training for school students, and providing certain facilities for
government schools.

which are owned and operated by our Subsidiaries, PT Pricol Surya Indonesia and PT Sripri Wiring Systems. Our
Subsidiary, Pricol Wiping Systems India Limited, has also set up a manufacturing facility in Satara, Maharashtra
for the production of wiping systems.

Competition

The automotive component industry is extremely competitive. We face competition from both domestic and
international players. Typically, large automotive component players supply exclusively to only a few select
OEMs. Since, we cater to various segments in the automotive industry, we compete with various companies for
each of our different products. Some of our key competitors are Minda Stoneridge Instruments Limited, Varroc
Engineering Limited, JNS Instruments Limited, UCAL Fuel Systems Limited, and Advik Hi-Tech Private Limited
(Source: CARE Report). For further details, see “Industry Overview” on page 65.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report on Unaudited Quarterly and Year-to-Date
Consolidated Financial Results of the Company for the Half Year ended 30th
September 2020

To the Board of Directors


Pricol Limited

1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Unaudited Consolidated


Financial Results of PRICOL LIMITED (“the Parent”) and its subsidiaries including
its step-down subsidiaries (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to
as “the Group”), for the quarter ended 30th September 2020 and year to date
from 1st April 2020 to 30th September 2020 (“the Statement”) being submitted
by the Parent pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing
Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.

2. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Parent’s Management and


approved by the Parent’s Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance
with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting
Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“Ind AS 34”), prescribed under
Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the
Statement based on our review.

3. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on


Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”, issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and
perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to
inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial
data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. A review is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing
and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become
aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the


SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure
Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, to the extent applicable.

105
4. The Statement includes the results of the following entities for the quarter and
period ended 30th September 2020:

Sr. % of
Name of the Entity Relationship
No. Holding
1. Pricol Limited Parent
2. PT Pricol Surya, Indonesia Subsidiary 100%
3. Pricol Asia Pte Limited, Subsidiary 100%
Singapore
4. Pricol Espana Sociedad Subsidiary – upto the date of 100%
Limitada, Spain disposal
5. Pricol Wiping Systems India Subsidiary 100%
Limited, India
6. Pricol Wiping Systems Czech Step-down Subsidiary (Subsidiary 100%
s.r.o, Czech Republic of Pricol Espana Sociedad
Limitada, Spain) – upto the date of
disposal
7. PT Sripri Wiring Systems, Step-down Subsidiary (Subsidiary 100%
Indonesia of PT Pricol Surya, Indonesia)

5. Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in


paragraph 3 above and based on the consideration of the review reports of other
auditors referred to in paragraph 6 below, nothing has come to our attention
that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in
accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the
aforesaid Indian Accounting Standard and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in
terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure
Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, including the manner in which it
is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

6.
a. We did not review the interim financial results of 2 subsidiaries (including 1
step-down subsidiary) located outside India, included in the Consolidated
Unaudited Financial Results, whose interim financial results reflect total assets
of ` 11,937.78 Lakhs as at 30th September 2020, total revenues of 14,785.61
Lakhs and 24,603.84 Lakhs, total profits (including other comprehensive
income) after tax of 457.18 Lakhs and 449.09 Lakhs for the quarter ended
30th September 2020 and six month period ended on that date respectively, and
net cash inflows of 1,999.93 Lakhs for the period from 01st April 2020 to 30th
September 2020, as considered in the Statement. These interim financial
information have been reviewed by other auditors whose reports have been
furnished to us by the Management. Our conclusion on the Statement, in so far
as it relates to the amounts and disclosures in respect of these subsidiaries
located outside India, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors and
the procedures performed by us as stated in Paragraph 3 above.

106
b. The Statement includes the interim financial results of 4 subsidiaries (including
1 step-down subsidiary), whose interim financial results reflect total assets of
` 7,487.85 Lakhs as at 30th September 2020, total revenues of 643.67 Lakhs
and 1,020.13 Lakhs, total loss (including other comprehensive income) after
tax of 188.31 Lakhs and 372.26 Lakhs for the quarter ended 30th September
2020 and six month period ended on that date respectively, and net cash
outflows of 454.01 Lakhs for the period from 01st April 2020 to 30th September
2020, as considered in the Statement. These interim financial information have
not been reviewed by their auditors. According to the information and
explanations given to us by the Holding Company’s Management, these interim
financial results are not material to the Group.

Our conclusion on the Statement is not modified in respect of the above


matters.

7. We draw attention to Note no. 2 of the Statement regarding re-presentation of


the working results of certain subsidiaries from “Continuing Operations” to
“Discontinued Operations”.

Our conclusion on the Statement is not modified in respect of the above matter.

OVERVIEW

We are one of the leading manufacturers of automotive components in India, catering primarily to automotive
OEMs, both domestically and overseas. We manufacture a wide range of technology-intensive electronic and
mechanical automotive products. These have applications across vehicle segments, including for two -wheelers,
three-wheelers, four-wheeler passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles, heav y commercial vehicles, and
tractors. We also cater to the construction equipment segment in the global market.

We have a diversified product portfolio, which is spread across three major verticals. These include:

i) Driver information systems: Under this vertical we manufacture and design products including
instrument clusters (both analog and digital) which indicate data such as vehicle speed, fuel level, and
coolant temperature; speedometers to indicate vehicle speed; and pressure gauges to indicate the p ressure
of oil in the engine. Our share in the market for driver information systems for two -wheelers in India is

193
currently 38.50%, while our share in the market for driver information systems for commercial vehicles
in India is 48.90% (Source: CARE Report).

ii) Pumps and mechanical products: Under this vertical we manufacture and design products including
fuel pump modules which ensures the delivery of the requisite amount of fuel with specified pressure to
the injector; oil pumps to provide oil lubrication to engine parts at the required pressure and deliverin g
sufficient flow; and chain tensioners which ensure the maintenance of tension by exerting force through
the rubber pad of the chain guide provided in between the chain tensioner and the cam chain. Our share
in the market for oil pumps for two-wheelers in India is currently 37.90% (Source: CARE Report).

iii) Switches and sensors: This involves the manufacture and design of products including fuel level sensors
to measure the fuel level in the tank; speed sensors to measure vehicle speed; and temperature switches,
which are signal sender devices which alert when the temperature ranges beyond the safe working limit .
Our share in the market for fuel sensors for two-wheelers in India is currently 25.90% (Source: CARE
Report).

Through our Subsidiary, Pricol Wiping Systems India Limited, we also design and manufacture wiping systems,
including wiper sets and wiper motors.

We have established seven manufacturing facilities spread across five states in India and two manufacturing
facilities owned and operated by our Subsidiaries, PT Pricol Surya Indonesia and PT Sripri Wiring Systems, in
Indonesia . For further details, see “ Business – Our Manufacturing Facilities” on page 92. Our manufacturing
facilities have a high degree of backward integration. We employ an extensive and stringent quality control
mechanism at each stage of the manufacturing process in these facilities to ensure that our finished product
conforms to the exa ct requirement of our customers. All of our manufacturing facilities in India and Indonesia
conform to the requirements of the IATF 16949 standard.

We have built strong and long-standing relationships with our customers by aligning our offerings with the ir
business needs. We have followed a deliberate strategy, by way of which, we have gradually expanded our
manufacturing presence across India following our customers’ manufacturing footprint. Our manufacturing
facilities are located in key auto-clusters in the northern, southern, and western parts of India, which ensures that
these facilities are in close proximity to the plants of our OEM customers. While this allows us to optimise delivery
to our customers, the proximity of our manufacturing facilities to those of our OEM customers also facilitates
greater interaction with our customers, thereby enabling us to respond to their requirements in a timely manner.
We believe that our proximity to our key customers has played a strong role in building and stren gthening our
relationship with such customers over time. In recognition of our efficient services and products, we have received
several awards and recognitions from our customers such as an award in 2019 at the annual supplier conference
of a leading manufacturer and supplier of heavy construction machines and a certificate of appreciation in
recognition of our performance in supply excellence from a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer. Our strong,
long-standing relationship with our major customers ha s been one of the most significant factors contributing to
our growth.

Further, through two research and development centres located in Coimbatore, which are registered with the
DSIR, we undertake our research, design and development activities. We have been able to diversify our product
range mainly due to our technological capabilities and our design and development, which we benefit from. We
are able to provide novel solutions to our customers, since our design and development team works in conjunction
with our sales and marketing team to understand our customers’ needs and develop solutions suited to their
requirements.

Our revenue from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and Fiscal 2020 was ₹ 48,259.62 lakhs
and ₹ 1,53,853.20 lakhs, respectively. Our profit / (loss) for the period for the six months ended September 30,
2020 and Fiscal 2020 was ₹ 1,866.63 lakhs and ₹ (9,875.43) lakhs, respectively.

SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL


CONDITION

We believe that the following factors have significantly affected our results of operations and financial condition
during the periods under review, and may continue to affect our results of operations and financial condition in
the future:
194
Macro-economic factors affecting the automotive manufacturing industry

We primarily derive our revenue from the manufacture and supply of components for automotive OEMs. These
include manufacturers across vehicle segments, including for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, four-wheeler
passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and tractors. As a result, the demand
for the products and services of these automotive OEMs has an impact on us as well. We are particularly affected
by factors impacting the two-wheeler market, which contributes to 69.15% and 70.51% of the revenue from
operations of our Company, for the six months ended September 30, 2020 an d Fiscal 2020, respectively. The
quantum of demand for automotive components depends on conditions in the automotive industry in our target
markets which, in turn, depend largely on general macro-economic conditions in these markets.

Some of the general macro-economic factors that can affect the demand for the products of our automotive OEM
customers include:

• general levels of GDP growth in a country or region, and growth in personal disposable income in that country
or region;
• global and local economic or fiscal crises / instability;
• regulatory developments such as involuntary phasing out of older vehicles, move towards electrification,
changes in pollution norms, etc.;
• global oil prices, which impacts the automotive industry and subsequently the compon ents industry, both
globally and in India;
• global and local fiscal and monetary dynamics, such as rises or falls in interest rates (resulting in greater or
lesser ability by customers to borrow money, including for auto purchases), foreign exchange rates a nd
inflation rates;
• demographic conditions and population dynamics, such as the absolute size of a market and the growth rates
of the population in that market; and
• economic development and shifting of wealth in India, in particular growth in the middle class, rural areas,
and the agricultural sector, which is highly dependent on the outcome of the monsoons.

Stronger macro-economic indicators tend to correlate with higher demand for automotive vehicles, while weaker
macro-economic indicators tend to correlate with lower demand for automotive vehicles.

The cyclical nature of general macro-economic conditions and, therefore, of the demand in the automotive
industry means that our results of operations may vary substantially from period to period. We expect that these
macro-economic factors and conditions in the automotive industry, particularly changes in consumer confidence,
employment levels, fuel prices, consumer spending on passenger vehicles, urbanisation, government policies and
interest rates, will continue to be the most important factor affecting our revenues and results of operations. Other
factors, such as our competitiveness, quality and pricing, have an effect on our market share and our ability to win
customers in competitive situations, but the overall direction of the automotive industry tends to have a more
pronounced effect on our revenues and results of operations.

Purchasing behaviour of major customers

We depend on a limited number of major customers for a significant portion of our revenues. In Fiscal 2020, our
Company’s top five customers contributed 64.67% of our revenue from operations. Demand from such key
customers has a significant impact on our results of operations and financial condition and our sales are
particularly affected by their inventory and production levels. We are not in a position to predict when our key
customers will decide to either increase or reduce inventory levels which may ha ve an impact on us. We may
experience reduction in cash flows and liquidity if we lose one or more of our key customers or if the amount of
business from them is reduced for any reason.

We typically have short term purchase orders and do not ordinarily en ter into firm-commitment, long term supply
agreements with our customers. The purchase orders specify prices and quantities for the products. However, the
delivery of the products ordered is based on delivery schedules that are independently negotiated wit h customers
which are, in turn, affected by the customers’ own demand and supply situation. Although our customers provide
us with forecasts of annual business volumes, which enable us to predict our income for a portion of our business,
the actual orders are only placed by way of on-going purchase orders and delivery schedules. Our customers do
not provide a firm commitment for any specific product quantity and purchase orders may be amended or
195
cancelled prior to finalisation. Uncertainty regarding invento ry levels may be exacerbated by favourable consumer
financing programs initiated by manufacturers which may accelerate sales that would otherwise occur in future
periods. This may result in variability in our sales.

Actual production volumes may vary from these estimates due to variations in consumer demand for the related
vehicles leading to underutilized capacity or incurring additional expenditure to deploy additional resources to
meet delivery timelines.

OEMs and suppliers are continuing to implement various cost-cutting strategies, which include the restructuring
of operations, relocation of production facilities to low-cost regions, vendor rationalisation and sourcing on a
global basis. We believe that our operations in India, our strong relationsh ips with many of our customers and our
ability to produce diverse range of products across a number of geographies will allow us to take advantage of
such cost-cutting strategies.

Raw material and operating costs

Operating costs and maintaining efficiencies is critical to our competitiveness and profitability. Our profitability
is partially dependent on our ability to spread fixed production costs over higher production volumes. In addition,
we face substantial pressure from our principal customers to reduce prices, and in order to maintain our
profitability, we must be able to reduce our operating expenses. We continually undertake efforts to reduce our
costs in order to protect our margins, such as sourcing from low-cost suppliers, negotiating volume discounts,
outsourcing non-critical processes, reducing energy usage and rationalizing our manpower. For further details,
see “Business — Our key strategies — Ensure efficiency and cost optimisation and enhance innovation and design
capabilities” on page 85 of this Letter of Offer. Our ability to reduce our operating costs in line with customer
pressure is subject to risks and uncertainties, as our costs depend, in part, on external factors beyond our control.

In addition, raw material costs (consisting of the costs of materials consumed, purchases of stock -in-trade and
changes in inventories of finished goods, stock-in-trade and work-in-progress) constitute the most significant
portion of our expenses, representing 67.71% and 69.42% of revenue from operations in the six months ended
September 30, 2020 and Fiscal 2020, respectively.The essential raw materials used by our facilities for
manufacturing our products are copper wires, distaloy AB, iron powders, ADC 12, PMMA, PBT, duracon,
polycarbonate sheet, AES, ABS and TFPP. Prices for these raw materials can be volatile and depend on
commodity prices in the markets, which, in turn, depend on changes in global econo mic conditions, industry
cycles, supply-and-demand dynamics, attempts by individual producers to capture market share, and market
speculation, among other factors. In addition to market fluctuations, our raw material prices can be affected by
contractual a rrangements and hedging strategies, if any.

Further, an increase in raw material prices may result in increased prices for our customers’ products, which may
in turn result in decreased demand for their products and, consequently, the components that we s upply for their
products.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

In late 2019, the recent coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), was first reported in Wuhan, China. On January 30,
2020, the World Health Organisation declared the COVID-19 outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of
International Concern” and on March 11, 2020 it was declared a pandemic. Between January 30, 2020 and the
date of this Letter of Offer, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread to many other countries, with the number of
reported cases and related deaths increasing daily and, in many countries, exponentially. India has emerged as one
of the countries with highest confirmed cases of infection. The pandemic outbreak has resulted in a global
economic downturn, including closures of businesses and reduced consumer spending, as well as significant
market disruption and volatility.

However, due to the COVID 19 pandemic, a nd the consequential lockdown measures implemented, operations at
all of our manufacturing facilities were suspended. This resulted in a decrease in demand for our products
particularly during the months of March, April and May 2020 on account of the nationwide lockdown and other
government restrictions imposed. We also experienced supply chain disruptions as well as delays in orders and
payments. A significant percentage of our workforce was also unable to work, including because of travel or
government restrictions in connection with COVID-19. Further, we were required to implement additional safety
measures, such as, regular temperature checks, regular sanitization, and compulsory use of masks and hand

196
sanitization, and resumed manufacturing operations with limited workforce. Accordingly, our results of operations
were negatively impacted during the six months ended September 30, 2020. Our revenue from operations in the
six months ended September 30, 2020 was ₹ 48,259.62 lakhs compared with ₹ 62,919.27 lakhs in the six months
ended September 30, 2019.

With the easing of the lockdown in May 2020, we restarted manufacturing operations at our manufacturing
facilities partially and by June 2020, we commenced regular production based on customer needs. In addition, we
have adopted cost control measures aimed at monitoring fixed costs, improving productivity and rationalizing
employee cost. We continue to closely monitor the impact that COVID-19 may have on our business and results
of operations. Adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may also significantly increase the effect of the
aforementioned factors affecting our results of operations. While the overall sentiment in the market continu es to
remain uncertain in Fiscal 2021 due to COVID-19, we remain focused on our manufacturing activity and the
development of new products.

Also, see “Risk Factors – The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting deterioration of general economic conditions
has adversely impacted our business and results of operations and the extent to which it will continue to do so
will depend on future developments, which are difficult to predict .” on page 17.

Expansion in product portfolio

We have, over time, expanded our portfolio of products to include a multitude of automotive components across
three major product verticals. We plan to leverage current trends in the automotive sector such as increasing focus
on safety, security, fuel efficiency, comfort, customisation, entertainment and communication to develop products
that meet our OEM customers’ requirements in these areas. In addition, through our dedicated design and
development team, we are working closely with our customers and to u nderstand their specific requirements and
offering them novel, innovative solutions.

The success of our design and development efforts and the products created depends on our management’s ability
to identify high growth potential opportunities and utilise our resources to develop these opportunities, which
could have a significant impact on our results of operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation:

The financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in India. The presentation of financial statement is based on Ind AS Schedule III of the
Companies Act, 2013. The Financial Statements have been prepared & presented on the historical cost convention
and on accrual basis, except for following material items mentioned in the Balance Sheet:

• Financial assets are measured either at fair value or at amortised cost depending on their classification;

• Derivative instruments are measured at their fair values;

• Employee defined benefit assets / liabilities are recognised as the net total of fair value of plan assets, adjusted
for actuarial gains / losses and the present value of defined benefit obligations;

• Long term borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method;

• Assets held for sale are measured at fair value less cost to sell;

• Right-of-Use of Assets are recognised at the present value of lease pay ments that are not paid as on that date.
This amount is adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement of the lease and initial
direct cost incurred, if any.

• Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and
services.

197
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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or
estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes
in to account the characteristics of the a sset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into
account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and / or disclosure
purposes in these financial statements is determined on the b asis stated above and measurements that have some
similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use under Ind
AS 36. In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are catego rised into Level 1, 2 or 3
based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the
inputs to the fair value measurements in its entirety, which are described as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity
can access at the measurement date;

• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which
require the management of the Group to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the
reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon the man agement's best knowledge of current events
and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future period. Appropriate changes in estimates are
made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Application of
accounting policies that require significant accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and
the use of assumptions in these Financial statements have been disclosed separately under the heading “Significant
accounting Judgements, estimates and assumptions”.

Current versus non-current classification:

The entity presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current, when:

• It is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

• It is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

• It is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets a re classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current, when:

• It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, o r

• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting period

198
The entity classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Current assets and liabilities include the current portion of non-current assets and liabilities respectively. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Parent and its subsidiaries including
step-down subsidiaries. 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.

Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

• Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of
the investee)

• Exposure, or rights, to varia ble returns from its involvement with the investee, and

• The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption
and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all
relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

• The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee

• Rights arising from other contractual arrangements

• The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements of control.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the
Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed
off during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control
until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of Other Comprehensive Income (OC I) are attributed to the equity holders of
the parent of the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring
their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intra -group assets a nd liabilities,
equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated
in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an e quity
transaction. When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the
subsidiary, related Non-Controlling Interest, if any, and other components of equity. Any interest retained in the
former subsidiary is mea sured at fair value at the date the control is lost. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised
in profit or loss.

The Group combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line adding together like
items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains
on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the
transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have
been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

The consolidated financial statement comprises the financial statements of the following subsidiaries:

199
Name of the Subsidiary Country of Incorporation Extent of Holding (%)
PT Pricol Surya Indonesia Indonesia 100%
Pricol Asia Pte. Limited Singapore 100%
Pricol Espana S.L. Spain 100%

- till date of loss of control
Pricol Wiping Systems Mexico Mexico 100%
S.A. de C.V.,
(Subsidiary of Pricol Espana S.L)
- till date of loss of control

Foreign currency transactions :

Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (`) which is also the functional and presentation currency
of the Group. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest lakh with two decimal.

a. Initial recognition

Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional currency, by applying to the exchange rate between
the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

b. Conversion

Foreign currency monetary items are converted to functional currency using the closing rate. Nonmonetary items
denominated in a foreign currency which are carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the
date of the transaction; and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or any other simila r valuation
denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were
determined. Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the
statement of profit and loss, within finance costs. All other exchange differences arising on monetary items on
settlement, or restatement as at reporting date, at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded,
are recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a net basis within other gains / (losses) in the year in which
they arise.

c. Foreign Operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations (subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures) including goodwill and
fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into INR, the functional currency, at the exchange
rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of the foreign operations are translated into INR at the
exchange rates at the dates of the transaction or an average rate if it app roximates the actual rate at the date of the
transaction. Foreign currency translation differences are recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity, except to
the extent that the exchange differences are allocated to NCI (if any). When a foreign operation is disposed off in
its entirety or partially such that control is lost, the cumulative amount of exchange differences related to that
foreign operation recognised in OCI is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Revenue Recognition :

a. Sale of goods

Revenue from customers is recognised when the Group satisfies performance obligation by transferring promised
goods or services to the customers. Revenue is measured based on transaction price, which is the fair value of th e

200
consideration received / receivable net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and GST.

Revenue from sale of goods and associated services is recognised at the point of time when the goods are sold or
services rendered. The Group considers any other promises in the contract that are separate performance
obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price
for the goods, the Group considers the effect of variable consideration, the existen ce of significant financing
components, non cash consideration and consideration payable to the customer, if any. Are fund liability (included
in other financial liabilities) is recognised for expected volume discounts payable to customers in relation to s ales
made until the end of the reporting period. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with
a credit term of 30 days to 120 days, which is consistent with market practice. The Group's obligation to repair or
replace faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.

b. Dividend

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Group's right to receive payment has been established.

c. Interest Income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. EIR is the rate
that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's
net carrying amount on initial recognition.

d. Claims

Claims made by the Group including price escalations and those made on the Group are recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss as and when the claims are accepted / liability is crystallised.

Property, Plant and Equipment & Depreciation:

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE), being fixed assets are tangible items that are held for use in the production
or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes and are expected to be used for
more than a period of twelve months. They are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment. Cost comprises of the purchase price including import duties and non -refundable
purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs attributable to brin ging the asset to the
location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Management.
Own manufactured assets are capitalised at cost including an appropriate share of overheads. Financing costs (if
any) relating to acquisition of assets which take substantial period of time to get ready for intended use are also
included to the extent they relate to the period up to such assets are ready for their intended use.

Items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment are capitalised if they meet the definition
of Property, Plant and Equipment.

Depreciation on PPE are provided under straight line method so as to expense the depreciable amount ie., cost
less estimated value, over its estimated useful lives as per the useful lives and manner prescribed under Schedule
II to the Companies Act, 2013, except for the certain asset class such as leasehold improvements which are
amortised as depreciation over the lower of useful life or lease period and Dies, Tools and Moulds which are
depreciated over a period of 3 years.

Where the cost of a part of the PPE is significant to the total cost of the PPE and if that part of the PPE has a
different useful life than the main PPE, the useful life of that part is determined separately for depreciation.

The Group has used the following useful lives to provide depreciation on its Property, Plant and Equipment:

Class of Assets Useful Lives


Buildings 20 to 30 years
Improvement to Leasehold Buildings Useful life or lease period whichever is lower
Plant & Equipments 7.5 to 8 years
Furniture & Fixtures 10 years
Vehicles 8 years

201
Class of Assets Useful Lives
Office Equipments 4 to 5 years
Dies, Tools and Moulds 3 years
- Computer Equipments - Servers and Networks 6 years
- End User Devices 3 years
Spares 1 to 3 years

The management believes that the useful lives adopted reflect the expected pattern of consumption of future
economic benefits.

The depreciation method applied to an asset is reviewed at each financial year end and if there has been a
significant change in the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset,
depreciation is charged prospectively to reflect the changed pattern.

The carrying amount of an item of PPE is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of PPE are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are rec ognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is de-recognised

Investment property:

Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for use in the
production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or sale in the ordinary course of business.

Investment properties (if any), are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
loss, if any. The cost includes the cost of replacing parts and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects
if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of the investment property are required to be replaced at
intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and
maintenance costs are recognised in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.

The Group ha s used the following useful lives to provide depreciation on its Investment Property:

Class of Assets Useful Lives


Buildings 30 Years

Intangible assets and amortisation:

An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance.

Intangible assets are recognised only if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset
will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific
software. Operating software is capitalised and amortised along with the related fixed asset.

The Group has used the following useful lives to amortise its intangible assets:

Class of Assets Useful Lives


Specialised software 4 Years
Fees for Technical Know-how 4 Years
Intangible Assets acquired on 15 Years (Based on a 15 Years (Based on a technical evaluation)
Amalgamation
Goodwill 15 Years

Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations :

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered
principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only
when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms
202
that are usual and customary for sales of such asset (or disposal group) and its sale is highly probable. The
Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as completed
sale within one year from the date of classification. Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for
sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

When the Group is committed to sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities
of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether
the Group will retain a noncontrolling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.

Non-current assets held for sale / for distribution to owners and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their
carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell / distribute.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale / distribution are presented separately in the balance sheet. Property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale / distribution to owners are not
depreciated or amortised. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are
presented as a single amount as profit or loss before tax from discontinued operations in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss.

When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving disposal of an investment, or a portion of an investment,
in an associate or joint venture, the investment or the portion of the investment that will be disposed of is classified
as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, and the Group discontinues the use of the equity method
in relation to the portion that is classified as held for sale. Any retained portion of an investment in an associate
or a joint venture that has not been classified as held for sale continues to be accounted for using the equity method.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method at the time of disposal when the disposal results in the Group
losing significant influence over the associate or joint venture.

After the disposal takes place, the Group accounts for any retained interest in the associate or joint venture in
accordance with Ind AS 109 unless the retained interest continues to be an associate or a joint venture, in which
case the Group uses the equity method.

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying
amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Reclassification

When the Group has classified an asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, but the criteria for the same are no
longer met, the Group shall cease to classify the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale. The Group measures
the non-current asset (or disposal group) at the lower of carrying amount before the non -current asset and Disposal
Group was classified as held for sale and its recoverable amount at the date when the Disposal Group no longer
meets the "Held for sale" criteria. Financial statements for the periods since classification as held for sale shall be
amended if the disposal group or non-current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale.

Impairment of Non-Financial assets:

The Group periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a
cash generating unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount
of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable
amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the
asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belon gs is less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss
and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that if a
previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is
reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost. An impairment loss is
reversed only to the extent that the amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been
determined if no impairment loss had been recognised.

203
Impairment of Financial assets:

The Group assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of fin ancial assets is
impaired. Ind AS 109 requires Expected Credit Losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Group
recognizes lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a
financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the
12-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses, if the credit risk on
the financial asse has increased significantly since initial recognition.

Fair value measurement :

The Group measures financial instruments at fair value 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:

• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

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 best economic 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 circumsta nces and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of
unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financia l
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, or

• Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is signific ant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable. 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 categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as
a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

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.

a. Financial Assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised 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. Purchases
or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or

204
convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group
commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

• Debt instruments at amortised cost

• Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);

• Debt instruments and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL);

• Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).

Debt instruments at amortised cost:

A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash
flows, and

• 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.

This category is the most relevant to the Group. 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 amortization is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment a re
recognised in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.

Debt instruments at FVTOCI :

A 'debt instrument' is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:

• The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the
financial assets, and

• The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at
fair value. Fair value movements are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI).

Debt instruments at FVTPL:

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for
categorization as at amortised cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. Debt instruments included within
the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

In addition, the Group may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortised cost or FVTOCI
criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or
recognition inconsistency (referred to as 'accounting mismatch').

Equity investments (other than investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures):

All equity investments within the scope of Ind AS 109, 'Financial Instruments', are measured at fair value either
through statement of profit and loss or other comprehensive income. The Group makes an irrevocable election to

205
present in OCI the subsequent changes in the fair value on an instrument -by instrument basis. The classification
is made on initial recognition.

If the Group decides to classify an equity instrument as a t FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument,
excluding dividends, impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, are recognised in the OCI.
Any gains or losses on derecognition is recognised in the OCI and are not recycled to the statement of profit or
loss.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in
the statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition of Financial Assets:

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Group of similar financial assets) is
primarily de-recognised when:

• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset 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 flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'passthrough' arrangement and
either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group h as
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control
of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass through
arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has
neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the
asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement.
In that case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are
measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

b. Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and transaction cost (if any) that is attributable to the
acquisition of the financial liabilities is also adjusted.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

• 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
de-recognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated b y 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.

• Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods or services provided to the Group which are unpaid at the end of the
reporting period. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities when the payment is due within a
period of 12 months from the end of the reporting period. For all trade and other payables classified as current,
the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Other payables falling
due after 12 months from the end of the reporting period are presented as non -current liabilities and are measured
at amortised cost unless designated as fair value through profit and loss at the inception.

206
• Other financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Gains or losses on liabilities
held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.

De-recognition of Financial Liabilities:

A financial liability is de-recognised 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 te rms,
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 a new liability. The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the 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 realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition /construction of qualifying assets are capitalised until the time
all substantial activities necessary to prepare the qualifying assets for their intended use are complete. A qualifying
asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use / sale. All other
borrowing costs are charged to statement of profit and loss.

Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short -
term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.

Employee benefits :

a. Short Term and other long term employee benefits:

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick
leave, in the period the related service is rendered, at an undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid
in exchange for that service.

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at an


undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the
estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees
up to the reporting date.

b. Post-Employment Benefits :

i. Defined Contribution Plans

A defined contribution plan is a postemployment benefit plan under which the Group pays specified contributions
to a separate entity. The Group makes specified monthly contributions towards Provident Fund and
Superannuation Fund. The Group's contribution is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss
during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

207
ii. Defined Benefit Plans

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit
method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re -measurement,
comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return
on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or
credit recognised in OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognised in other comprehensive
income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost
is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment.

Provisions:

A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as result of past event
and it is probable that an outflow of embodying economic benefits of resources will be required to settle a reliably
assessable obligation. Provisions are determined based on best estimate required to settle each obligation at each
balance sheet date. 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.

Contingent Liabilities:

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a
present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot
be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group does not recognise a contingent liability but
discloses its existence in the financial statements.

Contingent Assets are not recognised but a re disclosed when the inflow of economic benefits are probable

Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity
shares (if any) are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they were entitled to participate in
dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weigh ted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue to
existing shareholders; share split; and consolidation of shares, if any.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects
of all dilutive potential equity shares.

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 on Income:

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax.

a. 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
208
substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is
recognised in other comprehensive income / equity and not in the statement of profit and loss. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax
regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

b. Deferred Tax :

Deferred tax is provided 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 utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are 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
utilised.

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 based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.

c. Minimum Alternate Tax:

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in
the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an a sset if there is convincing evidence that
the Group will pay normal income tax.

Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is highly probable that future economic
benefit associated with it will flow to the Group.

Inventories:

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs
necessary to make the sale.

The basis of determining cost for various categories of


inventories is as follows:-

i) Raw Materials, Packing Materials & Stores and Spares: Weighted average basis.

ii) Finished Goods and Work-In-Progress: Cost of Direct Material, Labour & Other Manufacturing Overheads.

Stores & Spares which do not meet the definition of Property, Plant and Equipment are accounted as inventories.

Leases :

Adoption of new Standard IND AS 116 with effect from 1st April 2019

a. The Group as a lessee:

The Group's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Group assesses whether a
contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease, if the contract conveys the
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether
a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:
209
i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset

ii) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the
lease and

iii) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognises a Right -of-Use (ROU) asset and a corresponding
lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less
(short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short term and low value leases, the Group recognizes the lease
payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements include the option to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term.
ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The ROU assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted
for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less
any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses.

ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight -line basis over the shorter of the lease
term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of
impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the valuein -use)
is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent
of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is d etermined for the Cash Generating Unit
(CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The
lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the
incremental borrowing rates. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU
asset if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been
classified as financing cash flows.

Upto 31.3.2019:

Assets acquired under lease where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified
as finance lease. Such lease is capitalised at the inception of the lease at lower of the fair value or the present value
of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equiva lent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated
between the liability and the interest cost so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding
liability for each period.

Assets acquired on lease where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the
lessor are classified as operating lease. Lease rentals on assets taken on operating lease are recognised as an
expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term, unless the payments are
structured to increase in line with the expected general inflation to compensate from the lessor's expected
inflationary cost increase.

Transition:

Effective 1st April,2019, the Group has adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases" for all long term le ase contracts existing as
on 1st April 2019 using the modified retrospective method. Consequently, the Group recorded the lease liability
at the present value of lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and right of use asset at its
carrying amount at the date of its initial application. Comparatives presented have not been retrospectively
adjusted.

210
b. The Group as a Lessor:

Leases for which the Group is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Wherever the terms of the lease
transfers substantially all the risks and ownership to the lessee, the contact is classified as finance lease. All other
leases are classified as operating lease. The Application of IND AS 116 did not have any implication as a Lessor.

Business Combination:

The Group accounts for each business combination by applying the acquisition method. The acquisition date is
the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgment is applied in determining the acquisition date
and determining whether control is transferred from one party to another. Control exists when the Group is
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those
returns through power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered only if the rights
are substantive.

The Group measures goodwill as of the applicable acquisition date at the fair value of the consideration
transferred, less the net recognised amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent
liabilities incase such a liability represents a present obligation and arises from a past event, and its fair value can
be measured reliably) assumed. When the fair value of the net identifiable asset s acquired and liabilities assumed
exceeds the consideration transferred, a bargain purchase gain is recognised as capital reserve.

Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Group to the
previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Group. Consideration transferred also includes
the fair value of any contingent consideration (if any). Consideration transferred does not include amounts related
to settlement of pre-existing relationships.

Any contingent consideration (if any) is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay
contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not
remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise subsequent changes in the fair value of the
contingent consideration are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection with a business co mbination, such as finder’s fees, legal
fees, due diligence fees and other professional and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.

Financial Guarantee Contracts:

Financial Guarantee Contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that require a payment to be made to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in
accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability
at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.
Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment
requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.

Significant accounting Judgments, estimates and assumptions:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS
requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material
adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period
of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements that the management has
made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies:

211
a. Recognition of deferred tax assets:

The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability of the future
taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised.

b. Provision and contingent liability:

On an ongoing basis, the Group reviews pending cases, claims by third parties and other contingencies. For
contingent losses that are considered probable, an estimated loss is recorded as an accrual in financial statements.
Loss Contingencies that are considered possible are not provided for but disclosed as Contingent liabilities in the
financial statements. Contingencies, the likelihood of which is remote are not disclosed in the financial statements.

c. Useful lives of depreciable assets:

Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting period. As at March 31, 2020
management assessed that the useful lives represent the expected utility of the assets to the Group. Further, there
is no significant change in the useful lives as compared to previous year.

d. Evaluation of indicators for impairment of


assets:

The evaluation of applicable indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal
factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.

e. Defined benefit obligation:

Management's estimate of the Defined Benefit obligation is ba sed on a number of underlying assumptions such
as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these
assumptions may impact the obligation amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.

f. Fair value measurements:

Group applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market
quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market
participants would price the instrument.

g. Allowances for uncollected accounts receivable and advances :

Trade receivables do not carry interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances
for estimated irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them
not collectable. Impairment is made on the expected credit loss model, which are the present value of the cash
shortfall over the expected life of the financial assets. The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on
assumption about the risk of default and expected loss rates. Judgement in making these assumption and selecting
the inputs to the impairment calculation are based on past history, existing market condition as well as forward
looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

h. Leases:

Significant judgments are required in the assumptions and made in order to determine the ROU asset and lease
liability. The assumptions and estimates include application of practical expedients, selection of accounting policy
choices, assessment of lease term, determination of applicable incremental borrowing rate, among others.

Recent accounting pronouncements on Standards Issued or modified:

On 24 July 2020, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued amendments to certain Ind AS. Some of
the important amendments relate to:

212
• Ind AS-1, Presentation of Financial Statements and Ind AS-8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Error: Refined the definition of term 'material' and related clarifications. Consequential
amendments to other standards have been made based on the refined definition of material in IndAS -10,
Events after the Reporting Period, Ind AS-34,Interim Financial Reporting and Ind AS-37,Provision s,
Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets.

• Ind AS-103, Business Combinations: Revised definition of a 'business' and introduction of an optional
concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities a nd assets is not
a business

• Ind AS-109, Financial Instruments: Modification to some specific hedge accounting requirements to provide
relief to the potential effects of uncertainty caused by the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (IBOR).

• Ind AS-116, Leases: Practical expedient which permits lessees not to account for COVID-19 related rent
concessions as a lease modification.

The amendments are effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2020. However, with
respect to Ind AS 116, in case a lessee has not yet approved the financial statements for issue before the issuance
of the amendments, then the same may be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019.

The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact on the adoption of these standards.

Income

Total income decreased by ₹ 15,282.91 lakh or by 23.02%, from ₹ 66,387.62 lakh for the six months ended
September 30, 2019 to ₹ 51,104.71 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020, for the reasons discussed
below.

Revenue from operations

Revenue from operations decreased by ₹ 14,659.65 lakh or by 23.30%, from ₹ 62,919.27 la kh for the six months
ended September 30, 2019 to ₹ 48,259.62 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to
lower revenue resulting from the impact on operations on account of COVID-19.

Other operating revenue

Other operating revenue decreased by ₹ 1,004.74 lakh or by 31.26%, from ₹ 3,214.54 lakh for the six months
ended September 30, 2019 to ₹ 2,209.80 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to
lower revenue resulting from the impact on operations on account of COVID-19.

Other income

Other income increased by ₹ 381.48 lakh or by 150.30%, from ₹ 253.81 lakh for the six months ended September
30, 2019 to ₹ 635.29 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to the receipt of interest
income on refund of income tax.

Expenses

Total expenses decreased by ₹ 15,995.57 lakh or by 23.50%, from ₹ 68,079.18 lakh for the six months ended
September 30, 2019 to ₹ 52,083.61 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to a decrease
in cost of materials consumed, purchases of stock-in-trade, employee benefit expenses, changes in inventories of
finished goods, stock-in-trade and work-in-progress, employee benefits expense, and other expenses. These
reductions in expenses were partially offset by an increase in finance costs and depreciation and amortisation
expense.

Cost of materials consumed

Cost of materials consumed decreased by ₹ 8,958.04 lakh or by 21.89%, from ₹ 40,911.77 lakh for the six months
ended September 30, 2019 to ₹ 31,953.73 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020 due to lower sales
resulting from the impact on operations on account of COVID-19.

Purchases of stock-in-trade

Purchases of stock-in-trade decreased by ₹ 1,314.28 lakh or by 37.23%, from ₹ 3,529.82 lakh for the six months
ended September 30, 2019 to ₹ 2,215.54 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020 due to lower sales
resulting from the impact on operations on account of COVID-19.

Changes in inventories of finished goods, stock-in-trade and work-in-progress

Changes in inventories of finished goods, stock-in-trade and work-in-progress significantly decreased by ₹


1,468.55 lakh or by 99.88%, from ₹ 1,470.25 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2019 to ₹ 1.70 lakh
for the six months ended September 30, 2020 on account of depletion of stock accumulated before lock down,
which was sold after our Company commenced productions subsequent to the lifting of lockdown restrictions.

Employee benefits expense

216
Employee benefits expense decreased by ₹ 1,886.40 lakh or by 21.62%, from ₹ 8,723.67 lakh for the six months
ended September 30, 2019 to ₹ 6,837.27 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020 on account of COVID-
19. This was primarily due to the reduction of temporary manpower at our manufacturing facilities due to
shutdown of operations at such facilities in the months of April and May and reduced number of working days in
June.

Finance costs

Finance costs increased by ₹ 706.73 lakh or by 49.03%, from ₹ 1,441.41 lakh for the six months ended September
30, 2019 to ₹ 2,148.14 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020 on account of increase in borrowings.

Depreciation and amortisation expense

Depreciation and amortisation expense increased marginally by ₹ 3.03 lakh or by 0.06%, from ₹ 4,771.93 lakh
for the six months ended September 30, 2019 to ₹ 4,774.96 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020 on
account of limited additions to fixed assets during this period and the consequent depreciation on such additions.

Other expenses

Other expenses decreased by ₹ 3,078.06 lakh or by 42.57%, from ₹ 7,230.33 lakh for the six months ended
September 30, 2019 to ₹ 4,152.27 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020 on account of lower sales.

Profit / (loss) before exceptional items and tax

For the reasons discussed above, our loss before exceptional items and tax decreased by ₹ 712.66 lakh or by
42.13%, from ₹ (1,691.56) lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2019 to ₹ (978.90) lakh for the six months
ended September 30, 2020.

Exceptional items (net)

There were no exceptional items (net) for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and the six months ended
September 30, 2020.

Profit / (loss) before tax from continuing operations

For the reasons discussed above, our loss before tax from continuing operations decreased by ₹ 712.66 lakh or by
42.13%, from ₹ (1,691.56) lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2019 to ₹ (978.90) lakh for the six months
ended September 30, 2020.

Tax expense

Current tax expenses increased by ₹ 54.65 lakh or by 199.96%, from ₹ 27.33 lakh for the six months ended
September 30, 2019 to ₹ 81.98 lakh for the six months ended September 30, 2020. Deferred tax expenses

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except as disclosed in this Letter of Offer, there have been no changes in our accounting policies during Fiscal
2020.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various types of market risks during the normal course of business. Market risk is the risk that
the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate on account of changes in market prices.
Market risk comprises of currency rate risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments
affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments and derivative financial instruments
and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. We manage market risk through a treasury
department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management.
The treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by senior
management and the Audit Committee. The activities of the treasury depa rtment include management of cash
resources, implementing hedging strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies and ensuring
compliance with market risk limits and policies.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate on
account of changes in market interest rates. Interest rates for borrowings have been volatile in India in recent
periods. Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the long term debt
obligations and buyer’s credit obligations with floating interest rates. We did not have any buyer’s credit
outstanding as of September 30, 2020. Our policy is to manage our floating interest rate on foreign currency loans
and borrowings by entering into interest rate swaps, in which we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the
difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon principal
amount.

227
Foreign exchange risk

Changes in currency exchange rates influence our results of operations. Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the
fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate due to the change in foreign currency
exchange rates. We have obtained foreign currency payables for supply of raw material and equipment and are
therefore, exposed to foreign exchange risk; however, this is partially offset by our foreign currency receivables
due to our export sales. We use cross currency swaps and forward currency contracts to eliminate the currency
exposures. There can be no assurance that such measures will enable us to avoid the effect of any adverse
fluctuations in the value of the Indian Rupee against other relevant foreign currencies.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer
contract, leading to a financial loss We are subject to the risk that our counterparties under various financial or
customer agreements will not meet their obligations. We are exposed to credit risk from our operating activ ities
(primarily trade receivables) and from our investing activities including deposits with banks and other financial
instruments.

We extend credit to customers in normal course of business. We consider factors, such as, credit track record in
the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. We monitor the payment track record of our
customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. In the six months ended September 30,
2020 and Fiscal 2020, our net trade receivables were ₹ 21,162.37 lakh and ₹ 19,601.85 lakh, respectively.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not be able to meet our present and future cash and collateral obligations
without incurring unacceptable losses. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and
marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet
obligations when due. We monitor our risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity -planning tool, which
considers the maturity of both our financial investments and financial assets (i.e. trade receivables and other
financial assets) and projected cash flows from operations. We aim to maintain a balance between continuity of
funding and flexibility through the use of working capital loans, letter of credit facility, bank loans and credit
purchases.

Inflation

In recent years, India has experienced relatively high rates of inflation. While we believe inflation has not had any
material impact on our business and results of operations, inflation generally impacts the overall economy and
business environment and hence could affect us.

Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities

Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991, of the Government of
India and FEMA. While the Industrial Policy, 1991, of the Government of India, prescribes the limits and the
conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA
regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. The Union Cabinet, as provided in the
Cabinet Press Release dated May 24, 2017, has given its approval for phasing out the FIPB. Under the Industrial
Policy, 1991, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the Indian
economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain
prescribed procedures for making such investment. Accordingly, the process for foreign direct investment (“FDI”)
and approval from the Government of India will now be handled by the concerned ministries or departments, in
consultation with the Department for Promotion of Industry and In ternal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and
Industry, Government of India (formerly known as the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion)
(“DPIIT”), Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs, FIPB section, through a memorandum dated
June 5, 2017, has notified the specific ministries handling relevant sectors.

The Government has, from time to time, made policy pronouncements on FDI through press notes and press
releases. The DPIIT issued the Consolidated FDI Policy Circular of 2017 (“ FDI Circular 2017”), which, with
effect from August 28, 2017, consolidated and superseded all previous press notes, press releases and clarifications
on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect as on August 28, 2017. The Government proposes to
update the consolidated circular on FDI policy once every year and therefore, FDI Circular 2017 will be valid
until the DPIIT issues an updated circular.

The Government of India has from time to time made policy pronouncements on FDI through press notes and
press releases which are notified by RBI as amendments to FEMA. In case of any conflict between FEMA and
such policy pronouncements, FEMA prevails. The Consolidated FDI Policy, issued by the DPIIT, consolidates
the policy framework in place as on August 27, 2017, and supersedes all previous press notes, press releases and
clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect as on August 27, 2017. The Government
proposes to update the consolidated circular on FDI Policy once every year and therefore the Consolidated FDI
Policy will be valid until the DPIIT issues an updated circular.

The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non -resident does not require the prior approval of the
RBI, provided that (i) the activities of the investee company falls under the automatic route as provided in the FDI
Policy and FEMA and transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-
resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the FDI Policy; an d (iii) the pricing is in accordance with
the guidelines prescribed by SEBI and RBI.

281
Please also note that pursuant to Circular No. 14 dated September 16, 2003 issued by the RBI, Overseas Corporate
Bodies (“OCBs”) have been derecognized as an eligible cla ss of investors and the RBI has subsequently issued
the Foreign Exchange Management (Withdrawal of General Permission to Overseas Corporate Bodies (OCBs))
Regulations, 2003. Any Investor being an OCB is required not to be under the adverse notice of the RB I and to
obtain prior approval from RBI for applying in this Issue.

The above information is given for the benefit of the Applicants / Investors. Our Company and the and the Lead
Manager are not liable for any amendments or modification or changes in applicable laws or regulations, which
