There are significant differences between Ind AS, Indian GAAP, US GAAP and IFRS. Our Company does not provide
reconciliation of its financial information to IFRS or US GAAP. Our Company has not attempted to explain those differences
or quantify their impact on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and it is urged that you consult your
own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our Company’s financial data. For details in connection with risks
involving differences between Ind AS, U.S. GAAP and IFRS, see “Risk Factors – Significant differences exist between Ind AS
and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which investors may be more familiar with and may consider
material to their assessment of our financial condition” on page 59. The degree to which the financial information included in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity
with Indian accounting policies and practices, the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by
persons not familiar with Indian accounting policies and practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. Further, any figures sourced from third-party industry sources may be
rounded off to other than two decimal points to conform to their respective sources.
In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the total and the sums of the amounts listed are
due to rounding off. All figures in decimals have been rounded off to the second decimal and all percentage figures have been
rounded off to two decimal places. In certain instances, discrepancies in any table between the sums of the amounts listed in
the table and totals are due to rounding off.
Further, any figures sourced from third party industry sources may be rounded off to other than to the second decimal to conform
to their respective sources.
Any percentage amounts, or ratios (excluding certain operational metrics), in relation to the financial information of our
Company as set forth in “Risk Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position
and Results of Operations” on pages 18, 214 and 267, respectively, and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, unless
otherwise stated or context requires otherwise, have been derived from Restated Consolidated Financial Information or non-
GAAP financial measures as described below.
14Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain measures included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, for instance EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Net Debt / Equity,
Net Fixed Asset Turnover, Net Working Capital Days, PAT Margin, Revenue Growth, RoCE and RoE (the “Non-GAAP
Measures’’), presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity that
are not required by, or presented in accordance with Ind AS, IFRS or US GAAP. Furthermore, these Non-GAAP Measures, are
not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP and should not be
considered as an alternative to net profit/loss, revenue from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance
with Ind AS, IFRS or US GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operations or as a measure of our liquidity. Further,
these Non-GAAP Measures and other statistical and other information relating to operations and financial performance should
not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years/ period or any other measure
of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by
operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP. In addition,
these Non-GAAP Measures and other statistical and other information relating to operations and financial performance, are not
standardised terms and may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry
and therefore, may not be comparable to financial measures of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by
other companies and are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Further, they may have limited utility as a comparative measure.
Although such Non-GAAP financial measures are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable
accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that they are useful to an investor in evaluating us as they are
widely used measures to evaluate a company’s operating performance.

16FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain statements which are not statements of historical fact and may be described
as “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements include statements which can generally be identified by
words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “are likely”, “believe”, “continue”, “can”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”,
“may”, “likely”, “objective”, “plan”, “propose”, “will continue”, “seek to”, “will achieve”, “will likely”, “will pursue” or other
words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe the strategies, objectives, plans or goals of our Company
are also forward-looking statements. All statements regarding our expected financial conditions, results of operations, business
plans and prospects are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements as to our business
strategy, plans, revenue, and profitability (including, without limitation, any financial or operating projections or forecasts) and
other matters discussed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus that are not historical facts. However, these are not the exclusive
means of identifying forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements, whether made by us or a third party, are based on our current plans, estimates and
expectations and actual results may differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. All forward-
looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. This may be due to risks or uncertainties associated with
our expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to the industries we cater and our ability to
respond to them, our ability to successfully implement our strategies, our growth and expansion, technological changes, our
exposure to market risks, general economic and political conditions in India and globally, which have an impact on our business
activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates,
foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and globally,
changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes, changes in competition in our industry and incidence of any natural calamities
and/or acts of violence.
Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited
to, the following:
• Dependence on the railways and metro rail customers for a significant portion of purchase orders in our Order Book.
• Dependence on top 10 customers for revenue from operations.
• Uncertainty in realisation of revenue from our Order Book due to potential delays, modifications, cancellations, or non-
payment of orders, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
• Dependence of revenue from orders derived from existing customers.
• Dependence on meeting pre-qualification criteria and maintaining approved vendor status to secure tenders, failure of
which may adversely impact our order book and results of operations.
For a further discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from the expectations, see “Risk Factors”, “Our
Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations” on pages 18, 214 and
367, respectively. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what
actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could materially be different from those that have been
estimated. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and are not
a guarantee of future performance. These statements are based on our management’s belief and assumptions, which in turn are
based on currently available information. Although we believe that the assumptions on which such statements are based are
reasonable, any such assumptions as well as statements based on them could prove to be inaccurate and the forward looking
statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect.
Neither our Company, the Selling Shareholders, our Directors nor the members of the Syndicate or any of their respective
affiliates have any obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof
or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition. In accordance
with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, our Company will ensure that investors in India are informed of material developments
pertaining to our Company from the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus until the time of the grant of listing and trading
permissions by the Stock Exchanges.
17SECTION II - RISK FACTORS

Internal Risk Factors
1. Our railways and metro businesses constitute a significant share of our order book, with contracts largely secured
through competitive bidding. We may not be able to qualify for, compete and win contracts or identify new contracts,
or lose contracts on account of changes in government policies, regulatory requirements, tender conditions or
delays in approvals which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We derive a significant portion of our Order Book from railway and metro rail customers, and contracts from these
customers are dependent on winning bids submitted to them. As of six-month period ended September 30, 2025, our
Order Book from the railways and metros was ₹ 4,046.03 million or 91.59% of our total Order Book. As a part of our
business and operations, we participate in tenders on an ongoing basis. Contracts are awarded following competitive
bidding processes and satisfaction of prescribed qualification criteria. The following table sets forth the details of bids
for tenders at various stages for the periods as stated below:
18Particulars Six month period ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
September 30, 2025
Tenders applied (Nos.) 101 259 266 264
Tenders awarded (Nos.) 54 156 127 109
Win/loss ratio (%) 53.47% 60.23% 47.74% 41.29%
Procuring entities issue notices inviting tenders, pursuant to which interested bidders submit bids. While preparing our
bids, we conduct internal assessments including feasibility and site studies, cost estimations, and supplier evaluations
to determine the estimated project cost and apply a contract-specific margin to arrive at the final bid amount. Although
we have previously secured contracts based on our technical qualifications and financial scores, there can be no
assurance that we will continue to win similar or higher-value contracts. While prior eligibility and financial capability
are key considerations, we may not always meet the required criteria, particularly for larger projects. Certain projects
require specialised capabilities, proprietary technologies or certifications that we may not possess internally, and our
ability to participate in such projects may depend on collaborations or consortium arrangements with technical
partners.
In certain cases, our products are required to undergo pre-qualification or approval processes with customers or
designated approving authorities prior to participation in tenders. Such processes may involve technical evaluations,
and compliance reviews in accordance with prescribed specifications and standards. Any delay or inability to obtain
such pre-qualification may adversely affect our ability to participate in tenders.
Our collaborations and consortium arrangements, including those with overseas partners for platform screen door and
metro rail projects, are important for our participation in certain tenders and for project execution. Any non-
performance, delays, financial distress or withdrawal by such partners, or disruptions arising from geopolitical or
regulatory developments affecting cross-border collaborations, may adversely affect our ability to execute projects,
increase costs, or expose us to contractual liabilities and obligations.
Government tender processes may also be subject to changes in qualification criteria, delays or uncertainties. In
addition, contracts awarded to us may also be subject to litigation by unsuccessful bidders, which may delay project
commencement and require additional time and resources. However, during the six-month period ended September
30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, none of the contracts awarded to us were subject to such litigation.
Our contracts are typically awarded for defined terms or quantities and may be re-tendered upon expiry. There can be
no assurance that we will be awarded such contracts upon re-tendering. Our ability to secure new contracts and the
timing of contract awards may materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and
growth prospects.
2. A substantial portion of our revenues is dependent on our top 10 customers. As of the six-month period ended
September 30, 2025, Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we derived 99.27%, 99.30%, 99.43% and 97.79%, respectively,
of our revenue from our top 10 customers. The loss of any of these customers will materially and adversely affect
our revenues and profitability.
Our customers comprise of public sector undertakings and public sector and private customers.
We are dependent on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue from operations during
any given fiscal year. During the six-month period ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, our
top 10 customers accounted for 99.27%, 99.30%, 99.43% and 97.79%, respectively, of our revenue from operations.
The composition of our top 10 customers tends to vary from year to year, depending on the timing, nature, and value
of orders received. Consequently, a significant portion of our revenue remains concentrated among a relatively small
group of customers, which exposes us to customer specific risks.
The table below sets forth our revenue from our top three, five and 10 customers, for the six-month period ended
September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals:
Particulars* Six months period ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

customers**
19* Customers may vary across Fiscals / period and does not refer to the same customers across all Fiscals / periods and depend on the specific
requirement of our customers in the relevant Fiscal / period.
**Our top 10 customers include, amongst others Fangda Innotech Co Ltd, Ashra Consultants Private Limited, and Solarworld Energy Solutions
Limited. Names of other customers who form part of our top 10 customers during the Fiscals/periods included above, have not been included in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus due to non-receipt of consent from such customers to be named in the Offer Documents.
While we have not faced any customer discontinuance issues in the six months period ended September 30, 2025,
Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, the loss of any of our top customers including those among the top five or
top 10 for any reason could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Such reasons may include a customer’s failure to win or renew downstream contracts, the non-renewal or termination
of our arrangements with them, inability to meet revised technical or quality specifications, disputes, adverse
developments in the customer’s financial condition (including bankruptcy, insolvency, or other financial hardship), or
technological shifts rendering our products obsolete or less competitive.
While we have not experienced any material instances of customer defaults or significant payment delays in the six-
month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, any future default, delay in payments, or
financial distress affecting one or more of our key customers may adversely affect our cash flows and profitability.
Further, we generally operate based on work orders or delivery schedules issued by our customers, which may be
subject to unilateral cancellation with or without cause. While we have not experienced any instances of unilateral
cancellation with or without cause in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023,
if any such cancellation occurs, especially in relation to large or high margin contracts from our top 10 customers, it
could have an adverse impact on our revenue and profitability.
In addition, our business is largely dependent on purchase orders and contracts awarded by our customers through
tender processes, particularly by public sector entities. There can be no assurance that these customers will continue
to procure products or services from us at the same levels in the future. A decrease in business volume or a complete
discontinuation of engagement with any such customer could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
3. Our Order Book may not be representative of our future results and our actual income may be significantly less
than the estimates reflected in our Order Book. The products that are included in our Order Book may be delayed,
modified, cancelled not fully paid, or suspended by our customers and, therefore our Order Book is not necessarily
indicative of our future revenue or profit. Any inability to realise the value of our products could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.
Our Order Book comprises of the unexecuted portion of purchase orders/contracts as on a particular date. While it
reflects the business we expect to execute in the foreseeable future, it is not a guarantee of future operating performance
or financial results. Our ability to convert Order Book into revenue is subject to multiple factors, including timely
execution, customer satisfaction, fulfilment of contractual obligations, and timely payment by customers.
Our Order Book does not necessarily reflect our actual future income or financial results, as there are several factors
that could result in variances between the estimated values in our Order Book and actual revenues. These factors
include potential delays, customer modifications or cancellations, changes in scope, or unforeseen circumstances
affecting our ability to fulfil orders as anticipated.
Furthermore, orders in our Order Book may be subject to amendments or adjustments based on changes in customer
requirements or budgetary constraints. While we have not faced such changes in the six-month period ended September
30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, we cannot assure that such modifications will not occur in the future,
potentially leading to delays, reductions in scope, or cancellations. Such changes could adversely impact our revenue,
cash flows, and overall financial performance. As a result, there is no assurance that the revenue ultimately realized
from these orders will align with the initial estimates, and our actual income may be significantly lower than projected.
The table below sets out our Order Book to revenue from operations (times) for the six-month period ended September
30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals:
Particulars Six-month period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
ended September
30, 2025
Order Book (in ₹ million) 4,417.62 3,505.25 2,742.78 1,125.04
Revenue from operations (in ₹ million) 1,560.63 3,264.18 2,329.80 860.67
Order Book to revenue from operations (times) 2.83* 1.07 1.18 1.31
*not annualised
Our Order Book generally represents business that we expect to materialise in the foreseeable future, cancellations or
scope or schedule adjustments may, and do occur. We cannot guarantee that the entire income and profit anticipated
20in our Order Book will be realized. Any cancellations or scope adjustments could reduce the amount of our Order
Book, resulting in a decline in our income and profits. There can be no assurance that orders will not be short closed,
cancelled or reduced, or that customers will fulfil their payment obligations and other obligations, in a timely manner
or at all, in accordance with the purchase orders, or that customers will not dispute the amounts owed to us. While
there have been no such instances in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and
Fiscal 2023, any delay, cancellation or payment default, or any inability to realise the value of our products in our
Order Book, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.
4. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from repeat orders from existing customers, and the absence of long-
term contracts or exclusivity arrangements may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
Our revenue is heavily dependent on repeat orders from our existing customers, particularly our top customers and we
do not typically enter into long-term or committed volume agreements with a majority of our customers. As a result,
our revenues are dependent on repeat business. While we have developed long-standing customer relationship with
the railways, though they are under no contractual obligation to continue placing orders with us.
The table below sets forth the revenue derived from repeat customers and other customers for the periods indicated:
Particular Six-month period ended As at March 31, 2025 As at March 31, 2024 As at March 31, 2023

operations
* Repeat customers are those who purchased products/availed services from our Company in each of the last three fiscals and the six-month
period ended September 30, 2025.
Although we have consistently received repeat orders from many of our customers, there is no assurance that such
customers will continue to place orders with us at the same frequency, quantity, or pricing levels. The absence of
binding long-term contracts increases our exposure to customer specific risks, such as changes in procurement policies,
entry of competitors, or a shift in demand or pricing. Changes in customer procurement policies, competitive pressures,
budgetary constraints, or shifts in customer requirements may also impact the volume and frequency of orders placed
with us. Further, if anticipated orders from existing customers do not materialise, it may lead to inventory imbalances,
higher working capital requirements and potential inventory obsolescence. While there have been no such instances
in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, we cannot assure you
that such events may not occur in the future.
5. Our ability to participate in and secure tenders depends on meeting pre-qualification and obtaining and
maintaining approved vendor status, and any failure to satisfy or maintain such criteria may adversely affect our
order book and results of operations.
The growth of our business is dependent on our ability to successfully bid for and procure contracts at values that are
profitable for us or enable us to derive strategic or commercial advantages from such contracts. In selecting suppliers,
our customers typically restrict participation in tenders to entities that have been pre-qualified based primarily on
technical and financial criteria, including experience, technical capability, compliance with specified technical
parameters, past performance, reputation for quality and timely delivery, safety record, financial strength and the size
and nature of previously executed contracts, whether with such customers or otherwise. The eligibility criteria for the
contracts that we typically bid for also include satisfactory past performance.
In addition, certain contracts, particularly those involving new or technologically advanced products, may require
successful completion of field trials, prototype validation, or other customer-specified testing and qualification
processes prior to commercial acceptance. Such processes may be time-consuming, capital intensive, and subject to
factors beyond our control, including customer evaluation timelines, regulatory requirements, performance
benchmarks, and operational conditions at testing sites. Any failure to successfully complete such trials, delays in
validation, or inability of our products to meet prescribed specifications or performance standards may result in
rejection of our products, disqualification from tenders, or postponement of order placement, which could adversely
affect our business prospects, operating revenues, and profitability.
21In the event we do not meet applicable eligibility criteria, including technical qualifications, financial thresholds, past
performance requirements, or vendor approval norms, we may lose opportunities to participate in tenders, which could
adversely impact our order book. In addition to meeting bid capacity requirements, we may also be required to obtain
and maintain approved vendor status with certain customers, including government entities, public sector
undertakings, and large private sector clients. Such approvals are subject to periodic review and may depend on
continued compliance with quality, performance, financial, and operational criteria. Failure to obtain, renew, or retain
such approved vendor status may restrict our ability to participate in future tenders, reduce the volume of orders
awarded to us, or result in suspension or removal from vendor panels.
6. Our wind generator business is at an early stage and currently relies on a single customer. The loss of this customer,
or a substantial reduction in demand from such customer, could adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations, and cash flows.
Our wind energy business is at a nascent stage, has limited operating track record, and currently contributes a limited
portion of our overall revenue from operations. We have recently commenced activities relating to the manufacture
and sale of generators for wind energy applications, and accordingly have limited experience in this segment compared
to our established business verticals. The table below sets out details of revenue from operations from sale of wind
generators and allied services for the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, and Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and
Fiscal 2023:
(in ₹ million, unless otherwise stated)

Revenue from sale of 28.83 1.85% 90.92 2.78% 22.00 0.95% 10.46 1.21%
wind generators and
allied services
At present, our wind generator business is highly customer-concentrated, and we currently have only one customer for
our wind generators. As a result, our revenues from this segment are substantially dependent on the procurement
decisions, financial position, project pipeline, and continued engagement of this single customer. The loss of this
customer, any reduction, delay, or cancellation of orders, or any deterioration in its financial condition could have a
material adverse effect on our wind energy business, results of operations, and cash flows.
Further, the demand for wind generators is influenced by sectoral factors such as regulatory policies, tariff frameworks,
availability of financing, project viability, and power purchase arrangements entered into by wind energy developers
and their power off-takers. Any delays in project approvals, changes in tariff regimes, renegotiation or termination of
power purchase agreements, or broader policy uncertainties affecting the renewable energy sector may lead to
postponement, reduction, or cancellation of capital expenditure by our customer, which in turn could adversely impact
our order inflows and revenue.
Given our limited experience in this business, our dependence on a single customer, and the early stage of our planned
capacity expansion, there can be no assurance that we will be able to diversify our customer base, achieve meaningful
scale, successfully execute our proposed manufacturing plans, or operate this business profitably. Any failure to do so
could adversely affect our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
7. Bidding for a tender involves various activities such as detailed project study and cost estimations. Inability to
accurately estimate the cost may lead to a reduction in the expected rate of return and profitability estimates.
A significant portion of our business is generated through competitive bidding processes pursuant to tender invitations
issued by customers. To evaluate a contract tender, we undertake various management discussions, site study, cost
estimations, raw material and equipment suppliers among others which aids us to calculate the estimated cost of the
contract on which we add-on our margin, which varies from contract to contract, the result of which is the tender
amount which we bid for any particular contract.
Accordingly, all of the bid amounts are based on estimation of the contract, the fluctuation of which, either marginally
or substantially, may impact our margins adversely. Further, we may incorrectly or inadequately estimate the contract
cost leading to lower bid amount affecting our profitability, in case the contract is awarded to us. Excess estimation of
costs may lead to higher bid amount by us owing to which, we may not be awarded a contract which may substantially
impact our results of operations and financials. While there have been no past instances of contract cancellation or
22rescinding of contract awarded in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the Fiscals 2025, 2024, and
2023, there can be no guarantee for any contracts applied for in the future.
8. Extended project timelines may expose us to significant execution, financial, and contractual risks.
Our locomotive equipment, other railway products, and metro contracts business is primarily conducted through
purchase orders and contracts awarded by the railways and metro authorities pursuant to a tender-based process. These
contracts typically involve complex technical specifications, phased execution / delivery milestones, and multi-level
inspection, review, and certification requirements, which inherently result in defined but sometimes extended
execution timelines. While purchase orders received from the railways generally do not involve long supply schedules
and are executed within a limited and defined period, metro contracts usually have longer implementation schedules
due to their scale and scope.
Execution challenges may also stem from factors beyond our control, including clearances, access to customer
facilities, restrictions on work during operational hours, and coordination with multiple contractors engaged
simultaneously. Lengthy delivery cycles may also intensify working capital pressures, as milestone-linked billing often
depends on approvals or inspections that may be delayed by customers. This can lead to higher inventory accumulation,
slower receivables realisation, and greater reliance on short-term financing.
Moreover, these contracts frequently impose strict obligations relating to delivery adherence, performance
benchmarks, and documentation requirements. Any deviation from agreed timelines may expose us to liquidated
damages, adverse performance ratings, withholding of payments, invocation of bank guarantees, or reputational
setbacks that may affect our ability to qualify for subsequent tenders. Delays may also compel us to allocate additional
manpower, replan production schedules, or divert resources from other projects, thereby increasing indirect costs and
operational inefficiencies.
If we are unable to effectively manage the risks inherent in long-duration projects, or if delays and cost escalations
occur to a material extent, our revenues, profitability, liquidity position, and competitive standing in the railway
procurement ecosystem may be adversely impacted. While there have been no such instances of material delay in the
six-month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, we cannot assure you that
such events may not occur in the future.
9. Pricing pressure from customers and competitors may affect our gross margin, profitability and ability to increase
our prices, which in turn may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition.
Intense competition in our industry places continuous pressure on us to reduce the prices of our products in order to
remain competitive while maintaining required quality standards. These pricing pressures, particularly in the context
of bids and tenders, may lead to an erosion of our margins and could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations, and financial condition. Estimating the extent and timing of such price reductions is inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties, as pricing outcomes are influenced by competitive dynamics, tender conditions,
negotiations, and other commercial and market-driven factors.
In highly competitive tender processes, especially with large public sector customers, pricing and commercial terms
are often unilaterally prescribed through tender documents, leaving limited or no scope for negotiation. As a result,
our bargaining power is constrained, and we may be required to accept lower prices to secure or retain contracts. Such
competitive and customer-driven price reductions may negatively impact our sales, profitability, and cash flows.
Accordingly, companies like ours must continuously seek to reduce operating and manufacturing costs in order to
maintain profitability. To protect our margins, we seek price reductions from our suppliers, improvements in
production processes to enhance manufacturing efficiency, sourcing optimisation, and other cost-reduction and
productivity initiatives. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement such
measures or that they will be sufficient to offset future price reductions imposed by customers or competitive pressures.
Our ability to mitigate these pricing pressures through technological advancements, improved operational efficiencies,
cost-effective sourcing alternatives, new manufacturing processes, or other cost-control initiatives may be limited.
Any failure to effectively respond to competitive pricing pressure and customer-driven price reductions could
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.
10. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, our top 10 suppliers
contributed to 63.52%, 58.79%, 54.70% and 79.18% of the total purchases of raw materials and stock in trade,
respectively. Any shortfall in the supply or availability of our primary raw materials, volatility in the cost of such
raw materials or other input costs, or our dependence on a limited number of key suppliers may adversely affect
23the pricing, supply and profitability of our products and may have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our production processes rely on the uninterrupted supply and cost-effectiveness of specific primary raw materials
which are critical to the quality and performance of our products. Any shortfall or disruption in the supply of these
materials, including those arising from supplier-specific issues, could materially and adversely affect our business,
results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Further, the price and availability of these raw materials are
influenced by factors beyond our control, such as overall economic conditions, production levels, market demand,
competition for such materials, production and transportation costs, duties and taxes, and trade or regulatory
restrictions.
Given that we do not undertake hedging to offset movements in raw material prices, we are exposed to the full impact
of volatility in input costs, which could significantly affect our margins and financial performance. While certain of
our purchase orders include price variation or escalation clauses that allow for limited adjustment of prices in response
to changes in raw material costs, there can be no assurance that such mechanisms will be adequate or timely to fully
mitigate the impact of sharp or sustained increases in input prices of all the raw materials. Consequently, fluctuations
in raw material costs may continue to have an adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.
Further, certain of our primary raw materials are imported and are subject to risks arising from changes in international
trade policies, including import duties, tariffs, trade restrictions, foreign exchange fluctuations and geopolitical
developments. In particular, changes in U.S. trade policies, including increased tariffs or measures restricting trade
with China, may adversely affect the availability, cost and timing of procurement of such raw materials, which may
have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
The following table sets forth the cost of raw materials consumed, for the periods indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

Although we have not faced any material disruptions in the procurement of raw materials in the six-month period
ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, the occurrence of any such event may adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, our purchase orders with our customers have
built-in price adjustment mechanisms to protect our Company against material price escalations for our major raw
materials.
We rely on third-party suppliers to meet our raw material requirements and our business and profitability are
substantially dependent on the availability, timely delivery, and cost of raw materials. As of the six-month period
ended September 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, our top 10 suppliers contributed to 63.52%, 58.79%,
54.70% and 79.18% of the total purchases of raw materials and stock in trade, respectively. The purchase of raw
materials and components accounts for a significant portion of our expenses. The absence of long-term contracts at
fixed prices exposes us to volatility in the prices of raw materials that we require. We may not be able to pass on any
increase in the price of raw materials on to our customers in case the price for our products with relevant customers
have already been fixed. As a result, we are exposed to the risk of supplier delays or non-performance, which could
disrupt production and impact our output.
We procure supplies through short-term arrangements, primarily via purchase orders, without long-term contracts. As
a result, suppliers are not obligated to prioritize us and may sell to competitors. Our ability to secure reliable suppliers
is crucial to our growth, inventory management, and operations. We had a network of 304 suppliers as of September
30, 2025. Set forth below is a table depicting the cost incurred in the procurement of raw materials as a percentage of
total purchases of raw materials and stock-in-trade from our top three five and 10 suppliers for the periods indicated:

suppliers**
* Suppliers may vary across Fiscals / period and does not refer to the same supplier across all Fiscals / periods and depend on our specific
requirements of raw materials which depends on the requirement of our customers in the relevant Fiscal / period.
**Our top 10 Suppliers include, amongst others Copprod Industries Private Limited, Pitti Engineering Limited, P.K. Forge Private Limited, Shanker
Forge Private Limited, Hindon Filters Private Limited, and Ahlstrom Korea Company Limited. Names of other suppliers who form part of our top
10 suppliers during the Fiscals/periods included above, have not been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus due to non-receipt of consent
from such suppliers to be named in the Offer Documents.
While we have not faced any significant issues with our suppliers in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025
and the last three Fiscals, we cannot guarantee that such issues will not arise in the future. If suppliers fail to meet our
needs or if we cannot find alternative suppliers on favourable terms, our ability to meet production deadlines and
contractual obligations could be affected, potentially impacting our margins and operations.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to obtain adequate and quality supplies of our raw materials
in the future, in a timely manner or at all. Any decrease in or interruption to supply of raw materials, and an inability
on our part to find alternate sources for the procurement of such raw materials, may have an adverse effect on our
ability to manufacture our products in a timely or cost effective manner. In addition, there can be no assurance that we
will be able to enter into new or continue our existing arrangements with our raw materials suppliers on terms
commercially acceptable to us, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to source raw materials in a
commercially viable and timely manner, if at all, which may impact our business operations and financial performance.
11. Changes in government budgetary allocations and capital expenditure priorities for the railway sector may
adversely affect the demand for our products and services.
A significant portion of our business is derived from contracts awarded by railway and metro authorities and other
government or public sector entities. The demand for our products and services is therefore closely linked to the capital
expenditure plans, procurement policies and budgetary allocations made by the Government of India and other
governmental authorities for railway infrastructure, rolling stock, signalling systems and related equipment.
The level and timing of such procurements are influenced by the annual budgetary allocations, policy priorities and
expenditure plans of the Government of India. Any reduction, deferment or reprioritisation of budgetary allocations
for railway infrastructure, rolling stock modernisation or related projects may result in a decline or delay in tender
issuances and contract awards.
In addition, government spending priorities may shift towards other sectors or infrastructure initiatives depending on
macroeconomic conditions, fiscal constraints, political priorities or changes in public policy. Such changes may result
in lower capital expenditure for railway-related projects or delays in implementation of planned projects.
Further, government procurement processes are subject to administrative approvals, policy decisions and regulatory
procedures, which may impact the timing and volume of orders placed by railway and metro authorities. Any
slowdown, delay or reduction in such procurement activities may adversely affect our ability to secure new contracts
and expand our order book.
Accordingly, any reduction, delay or change in government spending on railway infrastructure and related sectors may
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
12. We have made a trademark application for our logo on March 28, 2026, and our ability to
procure the registration of the same or to protect any of our intellectual property rights including misappropriation,
infringement, or passing off of our intellectual property, could have an adverse impact on our business.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have applied for registration of 5 trademarks and logos,
including our logo the trademark “Pioneer,”. There can be no assurance that these
25applications, including the application for the “Pioneer” trademark, will be successfully processed or that the relevant
registrations will be granted.
Until such trademarks, including our logo and “Pioneer” are registered under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, we will not
be entitled to the statutory protections available to registered trademarks. In the absence of such registration, our ability
to enforce our rights would be limited to common law remedies, such as an action for passing off, which may not
provide the same degree of protection as a statutory infringement action. Further, given that “Pioneer” is also the name
of our Company and a key identifier of our brand and business, any failure or delay in obtaining registration of this
trademark may expose us to a heightened risk of third-party use, misuse, or imitation, which could dilute our brand,
create confusion in the market, and adversely affect our reputation and goodwill.
Accordingly, any inability to obtain or enforce trademark protection in respect of our logo or our other trademarks
may limit our ability to prevent unauthorized use by third parties, impair our brand value, and could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For further information, see “Our
Business – Intellectual Property” on page 237.
As we expand our activities, we are also exposed to the risk that other entities may pass off their products as ours by
imitating our brand name. Any such activities may harm the reputation of our brand and sales of our products, which
could in turn adversely affect our financial performance. We rely on protections available under Indian law, which
may not be adequate to prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties. Furthermore, the
application of laws governing intellectual property rights in India is uncertain and evolving and could involve
substantial risks to us. While the proprietary information and technical know-how associated with the R&D in relation
to our business rests with our Company, however, we cannot assure that our business customers may not infringe such
proprietary information. Notwithstanding the precautions we take to protect our intellectual property rights, it is
possible that third parties may infringe on our rights, which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
13. We are required to furnish bank guarantees and other financial security as part of our business. Our inability to
arrange such guarantees or the invocation of such guarantees or our inability to fulfil any or all of the obligations
under such bank guarantees may adversely affect our cash flows and financial condition.
In accordance with the terms of our contracts, especially in case of public sector customers, we are required to provide
certain financial guarantees including but not limited to bid security, advance security, performance bank guarantees,
letters of credit and retention bank guarantees for our projects. We typically issue bank guarantees to the relevant
authority with whom the contractual arrangement has been entered into. These guarantees are typically required to be
furnished within a few days of the signing of a contract/purchase order and normally remain valid up to around 12
months to 36 months from the date of issue of a performance bank guarantee and a claim period of one year. In case
of metro contracts the performance bank guarantee is issued for contract period and defect liability period which
normally ranges between five to seven years. We may not be able to continue obtaining new financial, performance
or retention bank guarantees, or renew existing guarantees, in quantities sufficient to meet our business requirements.
Banks may refuse to issue or renew guarantees for various reasons, including any deterioration in our financial
position, adverse changes in our cash flows, a downgrade in our credit rating, or increased risk perception arising from
sectoral or macroeconomic conditions. Banks may also revise their internal credit policies, risk thresholds, collateral
requirements, or sector exposure limits, as well as impose stricter underwriting standards, which could reduce the
availability of non-fund based facilities to us. Further, new contracts that we bid for or undertake may require higher-
value or additional bank guarantees compared to past contracts. Such requirements may, at times, exceed our
sanctioned non-fund based limits or the collateral we are able to provide, thereby constraining our ability to participate
in new tenders, execute ongoing projects, or comply with contractual requirements. Any tightening of guarantee
issuance norms by lenders, or any requirement for additional margin money or security, could further restrict our
capacity to avail such facilities. While, there have been no instances of guarantees not being issued on behalf of our
Company in the six months period ended September 30, 2025, and the Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, in case we are
unable to secure bank guarantees in a timely manner or in the required amounts, we may be prevented from bidding
for new projects, may face delays in project execution, or may risk termination of existing contracts for non-
compliance with guarantee-related obligations. Such constraints could materially and adversely affect our business
operations, growth prospects, financial condition and results of operations
Set out below is the amount of bank guarantees/ surety bonds/ letters of credit furnished by our Company as at the six-
month period ended September 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively:-

We may not be able to fulfil some or all of our contractual obligations in relation to our ongoing projects due to
unforeseen operational, technical, financial or external circumstances. Events such as delays in project execution,
failure to meet agreed timelines, quality or performance-related issues, interruptions in the supply chain, labour
shortages, or disputes with clients regarding specifications, deliverables or contract interpretation may result in a
breach of our contractual commitments. Any such breach could lead customers to invoke the bank guarantees issued
by us, including performance guarantees, advance payment guarantees or retention money guarantees. Invocation of
a bank guarantee requires us to make an immediate cash outflow to the issuing bank, which could materially impact
our liquidity and working capital position. Further, invocation of even a single guarantee may trigger cross-default,
acceleration or material adverse change clauses in our existing financing arrangements, potentially restricting our
access to additional credit or leading lenders to demand early repayment of outstanding borrowings. Invocation events
may also adversely affect our credit profile and could limit our ability to obtain bank guarantees or other non-fund
based facilities required for future projects, thereby affecting our ability to bid for or execute new contracts. In addition,
if multiple guarantees are invoked in a short period whether due to disputes, delays, quality issues or sector-wide
disruptions our cash flows could be severely strained, which may impair our ability to meet our operational
requirements or service existing obligations. Such simultaneous invocations could also compel us to divert
management time and financial resources towards dispute resolution or negotiations with clients and lenders. Any of
these events, individually or collectively, could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, working capital cycle,
business operations, financial condition and results of operations. While we have not had any instances in the six-
month period ended September 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025 and 2024, in Fiscal 2023, one of our bank guarantees was
invoked amounting to ₹5.64 million; however, this invocation did not have any material impact on our business
operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any or all of the remaining bank guarantees are invoked in the future, it
may result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
14. We are dependent, in part, on imported raw materials and overseas suppliers, which exposes us to risks relating to
foreign exchange fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, trade restrictions and geopolitical developments that could
adversely affect our operations and costs.
Historically, we have sourced a portion of our raw materials from suppliers located outside India. The table below sets
forth the purchase details from domestic and foreign suppliers for the six-month period ended September 30, 2025 and
for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023:

* Foreign suppliers includes supplier from China, Japan, and Singapore.
Such reliance on imported inputs exposes us to various risks, including foreign exchange rate volatility, increases in
international commodity prices, shipping and logistics disruptions, changes in import duties or trade policies, and
geopolitical tensions affecting cross-border trade.
While we maintain multiple suppliers for certain raw materials, we depend on overseas sources for some critical inputs
and have significant import concentration from China. In particular, a portion of our raw materials are sourced from
China, and any disruption to trade with China — including due to political or economic instability, sanctions, changes
in export controls, regulatory restrictions, trade barriers, or deterioration in bilateral relations between India and China
— may adversely affect the availability, pricing or timely delivery of such raw materials. More broadly, any disruption
in supplies from our overseas geographies of procurement, including Japan and Singapore, due to similar factors, may
have a comparable adverse impact.
In addition, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may increase our procurement costs and adversely impact
our margins to the extent such increases cannot be passed on to customers. Any significant or prolonged disruption in
the supply of imported raw materials, inability to identify alternate suppliers on commercially reasonable terms, or
27sharp increases in input costs may adversely affect our production schedules, cost structure, profitability, cash flows
and results of operations.
15. Our Company, Subsidiaries, Promoters, and Directors are involved in certain legal proceedings. Any adverse
decision in such proceedings may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows
and results of operations.
There are outstanding legal proceedings involving our Company, Subsidiaries, Promoters, and Directors which are
pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals and other authorities. Such proceedings
could divert the management’s time and attention and consume financial resources in their defence or prosecution.
The amounts claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent that such amounts are ascertainable and
quantifiable and include amounts claimed jointly and severally, as applicable. Any unfavourable decision in
connection with such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, could adversely affect our reputation, business,
financial condition and results of operations.
A summary of such outstanding criminal proceedings, taxation proceedings, actions taken by statutory and regulatory
authorities, and other material pending litigation as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and as disclosed
in section “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments” on page 402, is set out below:

28Further, SEBI has issued an adjudication order dated December 31, 2019 (“Order”) pertaining to the buying, selling,
and dealing in shares of Gangotri Textiles Limited and addressing Praveen Poddar in his individual capacity. While
one of our Promoters, Sushil Kumar Jain and one of our Promoter Group members, Pioneer TCP Stock Brokers Private
Limited, among others have been named in the Order, the final findings of SEBI in the Order pertains solely to Praveen
Poddar. Further, Pioneer TCP Stock Brokers Private Limited and Sushil Kumar Jain were not named as parties in the
Order.
We cannot assure you that there will not be any subsequent action in such matter involving one of our Promoters,
Sushil Kumar Jain and one of our Promoter Group members, Pioneer TCP Stock Brokers Private Limited. Any
negative regulatory action in this regard, could significantly impair our ability to access capital markets in the future,
limiting our growth and strategic options.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, there are no litigations involving our Group Companies which
may have a material impact on the business and operations of our Company.
We cannot assure you that any of these on-going matters will be settled in favour of our Company, Promoters and/or
Directors, respectively, or that no additional liability will arise out of these proceedings. An adverse outcome in any
such proceedings may have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, prospects, results of operations and
our reputation. Further, we cannot assure you that there will be no new material legal and/or regulatory proceedings
involving our Company, Promoters, Directors and/or Group Companies in the future.
16. Our manufacturing facilities are located in Haryana, India, and we are dependent on them for the entire portion
of our revenue from operations, which exposes our operations to potential geographical concentration risks arising
from local and regional factors and any disruption, breakdown or shutdown of our facilities may adversely affect
our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and future prospects.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we operate three manufacturing facilities, two at Bawal, Haryana
and the other at Manesar, Haryana. In addition, we are in the process of establishing a new manufacturing facility at
Salarpur, Bhiwadi, Rajasthan and will be operational by September 2026. Accordingly, our existing manufacturing
operations remain substantially concentrated in the State of Haryana, India, with our entire revenue originating from
facilities located in this single geographic region. Our business is dependent on our ability to efficiently manage these
facilities and the operational risks associated with their functioning. This concentration exposes us to a heightened risk
profile tied to local and regional factors, which could disrupt our production capabilities and adversely affect our
operating performance.
Given the geographic concentration of our manufacturing operations in one state, our operations are particularly
susceptible to disruptions caused by region-specific factors including, but not limited to, floods, earthquakes, labour
unrest, power outages, significant social, political or economic disturbances, adverse local or state-level policy or
regulatory changes, disruptions in regional transportation networks or supply chain infrastructure, infectious disease
outbreaks, or other natural or man-made disasters. For instance, labour strikes, work stoppages, or interruptions in
transportation and logistics could lead to significant delays in production or delivery schedules. Although we have not
faced any labour strikes or disruptions in regional transportation or supply chain infrastructure in the six-month period
ended September 30, 2025, and the last three Fiscals, the occurrence of any such disruptions in the future may
significantly affect our operations by causing delays in manufacturing and shipment of our products, which could
materially and adversely affect our revenue, operating margins, customer relationships, business and financial
performance.
Our manufacturing operations may be subject to disruptions arising from factors such as maintenance shutdowns,
inspections, testing activities, capacity expansion initiatives, equipment malfunction or breakdown, and other
operational contingencies. Any such disruptions may affect production schedules, increase repair and maintenance
costs, and lead to delays in the execution of orders.
In addition, any industrial accident, loss of human life, environmental incident, theft, or damage to property at our
facilities may expose us to regulatory action, penalties, compensation claims, potential criminal liability, and
reputational harm, which could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
While no such material disruptions, industrial accidents or equipment failures have occurred during the six-month
period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, there can be no assurance that such events
will not occur in the future.
Further, while we are undertaking the development of our manufacturing facility at Salarpur, Bhiwadi, Rajasthan with
the objective of expanding capacity and achieving geographic diversification, such facility is currently under
construction and is subject to risks typically associated with greenfield projects, including delays in construction, cost
overruns, challenges in obtaining regulatory approvals, utility connectivity, availability of skilled manpower, and
29timely commissioning of plant and machinery. Any delay in completion, cost escalation, or inability to operationalise
the facility at Rajasthan, as planned may prolong our dependence on our existing facilities located in Haryana and
limit our ability to mitigate geographic concentration risks.
This geographic concentration limits our ability to mitigate risks through regional diversification, and our inability to
effectively manage the risks associated with such concentration, or any delay or failure in completing, operationalising
or deriving anticipated benefits from our expansion plans, including the proposed facility at Salarpur, Bhiwadi,
Rajasthan, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations,
growth prospects and overall business sustainability.
17. Under-utilization of our manufacturing capacities could have an adverse effect on our business, future prospects
and future financial performance.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we operate three manufacturing facilities, out of which two
facilities are located in Bawal, Haryana, and our third facility is located in Manesar, Haryana. Our operating results
are influenced by several factors, in particular, our capacity utilization at our manufacturing facilities. Our ability to
achieve optimal capacity utilisation depends on several factors, including the volume and timing of customer orders,
product mix, availability of raw materials and prevailing industry and market conditions and is also subject to the
thresholds prescribed under the consolidated consent and approvals issued by the relevant state pollution control boards
for our manufacturing facilities.
(the reminder of the page has been intentionally left blank)
30The table below sets forth the capacity utilization across our manufacturing facility as of six-month period ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

As certified by independent chartered engineer pursuant to their certificate dated March 29, 2026.
Note: In addition to the above-mentioned products, our Company manufactures multiple other products such as gangway, housing, wheel set guide and motor suspension. The production volume and annual sales of these products is
significantly less, when compared to the products mentioned above as these products are under development. Hence, such products have been excluded from the capacity utilization.
Notes:
(1) The information relating to the installed capacity as of the dates included above is based on various assumptions and estimates that have been taken into account for calculation of the installed capacity. Installed capacity represents
the annual installed capacity as of the last date of the relevant Fiscal and for the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the available capacity has been calculated based on the available capacity for the relevant Fiscal/period
or the installed capacity that is practically available for production during the period/year after considering normal operational downtime. The installed capacity and the available capacity are based on various assumptions and
estimates, including standard capacity calculation practice in the industry in which we operate. These assumptions and estimates include the standard capacity calculation practice of industry, the equipment production capacities and
other ancillary equipment installed at the facilities. The assumptions are also based on the past experience of the management of Company to manufacture the said products. The assumptions and estimates taken into account include
the following: (i) ) Number of working days in a fiscal year – 300 days; and for the Six months period ended the number of working days will be 150 days (iii) Number of shifts in a day – three shifts ; and (iv) Number of working hours
per day – 8 hours per shift.
(2) Actual production represents quantum of production in the relevant fiscal/period.
(3) Capacity utilization has been calculated based on actual production during the relevant fiscal/period divided by the aggregate available capacity at the end of the relevant fiscal year/period.
31In the event that we are unable to procure sufficient raw materials or if adverse industry or market conditions persist,
we would not be able to achieve full capacity utilization of our manufacturing facilities, resulting in operational
inefficiencies which could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects and financial performance.
Further, if our customers place orders for less than anticipated volume or cancel existing orders or change their
procurement policies resulting in reduced quantities being supplied by us, it could result in the under-utilization of our
manufacturing capacities. While there have been no instances of cancellation or decrease in anticipated volume of
orders from our customers in the six month period ended September 30, 2025, and the Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023,
there can be no assurance that such instances may not occur in the future. Further, we make significant decisions,
including determining the levels of business to be pursued, production schedules, personnel requirements and other
resource requirements, based on our estimates of customer demand and order flows. The changes in demand for their
products could reduce our ability to estimate accurately future customer requirements, which makes it difficult to
schedule production and may lead to over production or utilization of our manufacturing capacity for a particular
product. Any such mismatch leading to over or under utilization of our manufacturing facilities could adversely affect
our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. For further information, see “Our Business –
Installed Capacity and Capacity Utilization” on page 229.
18. Any interruption in electricity, fuel and water supplies to our manufacturing facilities or any irregular or significant
hike in tariff rates may lead to disruption in operations, higher operating cost and consequent decline in our
operating margins.
Our manufacturing operations require a continuous supply of power ,fuel and water. The table below sets forth details
relating to our expenses on power and fuel as a percentage of our total revenue from operations in the six-month period
ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023:
Particulars Six-month period ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
September 30, 2025
Amount % of total Amount % of total Amount % of total Amount % of total
(₹ million) expenses (₹ million) expenses (₹ million) expenses (₹ million) expenses
Power and Fuel 12.68 1.01% 22.63 0.82% 16.58 0.83% 4.90 0.59%
We have not faced any shortage of power and fuel in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals
2025, 2024 and 2023, we cannot guarantee any such shortage in the future. Inadequate electricity, diesel for our wind
generators could result in interruption or suspension of our production operations. In particular, any significant increase
in cost of diesel/fuel could result in unanticipated increase in production cost. Further, we currently source our water
from local body water supply and there can be no assurance that such supply will not be adversely impacted in the
future or that dues will be paid timely to the local authorities. Any failure on our part to obtain alternate sources of
electricity or fuel, in a timely manner, and at an acceptable cost, may cause a slowdown or interruption to our
production process and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
19. Our operations are labour intensive subject to stringent labour laws and regulations governing relationships with
our employees. Any non-availability of contract workers at reasonable cost or any strikes, work stoppages or
increased wage demands could lead to disruption in our manufacturing facilities, which could adversely impact
our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our operations are labour intensive, and we are dependent on a large labour force for our manufacturing operations.
We have a mix of contractual and permanent workers engaged in our manufacturing facilities. This distinction between
permanent and contractual employees may subject us to compliance risks under applicable labour laws and could
potentially affect operational continuity, worker retention, and overall efficiency, particularly in jurisdictions where
authorities or customers prefer or mandate minimum levels of permanent employment. As of six-month period ended
September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, the breakup of our workforce was as follows:
Particular Six-month period ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

employees
Contract 128 48.30% 247 66.94% 122 46.21% 82 36.44%
labourers
The success of our operations depends on availability of labour and maintaining good relationship with our workforce.
Shortage of skilled/ unskilled personnel or work stoppages caused by disagreements with employees could have an
32adverse effect on our business and results of operations. While we have not experienced any material prolonged
disruption in our business operations due to disputes, labour unrest, strikes, work stoppages or other problems with
our work force in the six month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, there
can be no assurance that we will not experience any such disruption in the future. Such disruptions may adversely
affect our business and results of operations and may also divert the management’s attention and result in increased
costs.
Further, we engage independent contractors through whom we engage contract labour for performance of certain
functions at our manufacturing units as well as at our offices. Although we do not engage contract labourers directly,
we are responsible for any wage payments to be made to such labourers in the event of default by such independent
contractors. While we have not been subject to any wage payments on account of default of independent contractors
in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, any requirement to fund
their wage requirements in the future may have an adverse impact on our results of operations and our financial
condition.
We are not affiliated with any labour union. Further, India has labour legislations that protects the interests of workers,
including legislation that sets forth detailed procedures for the establishment of unions, dispute resolution and
employee removal and legislation that imposes certain financial obligations on employers upon retrenchment.
We are also subject to stringent laws and regulations governing relationships with employees, in such areas as
minimum wage and maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and terminating of employees and
work permits. The Government of India has, through a series of notifications dated November 21, 2025, brought into
effect the four labour codes namely, the Code on Wages, 2019, the Code on Social Security, 2020, the Industrial
Relations Code, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. These codes are
slated to replace 29 Central labour laws and bring about a more cohesive and modern framework for compliance.
The Central Government has introduced a consolidated regulatory framework replacing decades of fragmented labour
legislation, covering wages, industrial relations, social security, and occupational safety. However, the transition
remains ongoing as central and state rules, schemes, and notifications have not yet been fully finalised or enforced.
Since labour is a concurrent subject under the Constitution of India, the labour codes cannot operate in their entirety
until this delegated legislative work is complete. While the codes establish the substantive standards employers must
follow, procedural aspects, including registration processes, return formats, working-hour provisions, trade union
recognition mechanisms, and inspection systems, will be governed by state rules that are yet to be issued. Employers
are therefore likely to experience a gradual transition rather than an immediate overhaul. In the interim, the Union
Government has confirmed that existing laws and rules under the earlier regime will remain applicable until the
operational framework under the new codes is fully in place. For further details, see “Key Regulations and Policies in
India” on page 240.
20. Our operations involve manufacturing and industrial activities that may expose us to risks of accidents, operational
disruptions, environmental incidents and potential civil or criminal liabilities, which could adversely affect our
business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our business involves manufacturing, assembly, testing and handling of heavy equipment, electrical components,
machinery, hazardous materials and industrial processes at our facilities. Such operations inherently carry risks of
industrial accidents, fires, explosions, equipment failures, structural incidents, or other unforeseen events that may
result in injury or loss of life to employees, contract workers, visitors or third parties, damage to property, or disruption
of operations.
Our manufacturing processes may also involve the use, storage, handling and disposal of chemicals, lubricants,
coatings, metal waste, and other materials that may pose environmental and safety risks if not properly managed. Any
accidental release, emission, leakage, or improper disposal of pollutants, hazardous substances, effluents or waste
could lead to environmental contamination, regulatory violations, and liability for remediation costs.
In addition, our operations are subject to various environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in India,
including those relating to pollution control, hazardous waste management, occupational safety, and factory
operations. Non-compliance with such regulations, whether due to operational lapses, human error, equipment
malfunction, or regulatory interpretation, could result in penalties, fines, suspension or revocation of licenses, closure
directions, criminal prosecution of our Company and/or its officers, and reputational harm. We have not received any
notice or order for any non-compliance with respect to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in the
six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the Fiscals 2026, 2025, and 2024.
Any major accident, environmental incident, or regulatory action may also result in temporary or prolonged suspension
of operations at one or more of our facilities, delays in production and delivery schedules, increased insurance costs,
and diversion of management attention towards investigations, litigation or remediation measures. Further, claims for
33compensation, damages, or legal proceedings arising from such incidents may lead to significant financial liabilities
and could adversely affect our financial condition and cash flows.
Although we maintain safety protocols, training programs, and environmental compliance systems, and carry certain
insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such measures will be adequate to prevent accidents or fully cover
potential losses. Any material incident, individually or cumulatively, could materially and adversely affect our
business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
21. Defects, malfunctions or failures in our products could expose us to product liability claims, contractual liabilities
and reputational harm, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our products, including filters, traction motors, alternators, brake discs, stator and rotor assemblies for locomotives
and platform screen doors for metro systems, are deployed in safety-critical applications within railway and metro
infrastructure. Any defect in design, manufacturing, assembly, or performance of our products, or any failure to meet
prescribed technical specifications, quality standards or operational requirements, may result in product malfunction,
system disruption, or safety incidents.
Such failures may expose us to a range of liabilities, including contractual liabilities under supply agreements, warranty
claims, indemnity obligations, liquidated damages, and potential product liability claims from customers or third
parties. In certain cases, defects or failures may also result in property damage, personal injury or loss of life, which
could give rise to civil or criminal proceedings, regulatory action, or penalties under applicable laws. While our
contracts generally seek to limit our liability to specified remedies such as repair or replacement of defective products,
such limitations may not be enforceable in all circumstances, particularly in cases involving gross negligence, wilful
misconduct, or statutory liability. Further, we offer a standard warranty on our products, typically for a period of 30
months, which may be extended in specific cases based on customer requirements. Our warranty terms are generally
limited to repair, replacement, or refund of the defective product, and expressly exclude any liability for indirect,
incidental, or consequential losses, including, but not limited to, injury, loss of life, or damage to property.
Further, product failures or quality issues may necessitate product recalls, rework, replacement or suspension of
supplies, which could result in increased costs, operational disruptions, diversion of management attention and strain
on customer relationships. Any systemic or batch-level defects may amplify such risks and lead to significant financial
exposure.
Further, any actual or perceived deficiency in the quality or reliability of our products could adversely affect our
reputation, credibility and standing with key customers, including government and public sector entities, and may
impact our ability to qualify for future tenders or retain existing contracts.
Although we have not experienced any material product liability claims, recalls or significant warranty-related
liabilities in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, there can be no
assurance that such events will not occur in the future. Any such occurrence could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
22. Our success depends on our ability to develop and commercialise new products in a timely manner. If our research
and development efforts do not succeed, the introduction of new products may be hindered, which could adversely
affect our business, cash flows, growth and financial condition.
Our ability to achieve sustained growth depends significantly on the timely and successful development and
commercialisation of new products. The process of designing, testing and launching new offerings is inherently
complex, lengthy and capital-intensive, and is subject to substantial business and execution risks. Products currently
under development may become technologically obsolete before commercialisation due to rapid advances in industry
standards, emerging technologies or innovations introduced by competitors. As a result, the resources we commit to
development initiatives may not yield the expected commercial benefits.
As disclosed in “Our Business” on page 214, we are currently undertaking development of multiple products,
including, inter alia, complete axle box, gangway systems for EMU coaches, Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat coaches,
carrier piston pins, complete gear case, retention tanks for LHB coaches, machined pistons, steel cap pistons, WIGBT-
based propulsion systems and wheel-mounted brake discs. These products are at various stages of design, prototyping,
validation and approval, and their successful commercialisation is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, successful
field trials, customer acceptance and timely execution of production scale-up. There can be no assurance that such
products will achieve the intended market acceptance, be commercialised within anticipated timelines, or generate
expected revenues.
Our R&D activities also rely heavily on the expertise of key technical and engineering personnel. The loss of any such
individuals, or an inability to attract and retain qualified professionals, could disrupt ongoing development
34programmes, delay project timelines or adversely affect the quality and viability of our product pipeline. Moreover,
we may not possess R&D infrastructure, testing facilities or specialised technical capabilities comparable to those of
larger, better-resourced competitors, which could limit our ability to innovate at the required pace or scale. Our success
in expanding our product portfolio will depend on our ability to understand evolving customer requirements,
collaborate effectively with customers and suppliers, execute development projects in a cost-efficient manner, and
commercialise new products ahead of competing offerings. Any failure to meet these expectations could have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our future results of operations depend, to a significant degree, on our ability to successfully develop new products
and continue our product portfolio expansion in a timely and cost effective manner. While there have been no instances
of failure of product success in the six-month period ended September 30,2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal
2023, we cannot assure you that all the products that we develop will be successful which may impact our financial
condition, revenue from operations and our cash flows.
23. We may not successfully protect our technical know-how, which may result in the loss of our competitive advantage.
We have developed a substantial body of technical know-how relating to the manufacturing of our products, which
has strengthened our ability to manage production costs, improve product quality, and remain competitive in the
railway and renewable energy sectors. This know-how is derived from the experience of our management team and
key employees, as well as from our research and development initiatives. We also rely on technology transfer
agreements with partners such as Fangda Innotech Co Limited, for critical manufacturing processes relating to key
products such as traction motors and platform screen doors. Any termination, non-renewal or breach of these
agreements, or any deterioration in the financial or operational condition of these technology partners, could materially
disrupt our production capabilities, delay contract execution, and adversely affect our ability to meet customer
requirements.
Our proprietary knowledge and confidential technical information remain vulnerable to leakage whether inadvertent
or deliberate at various stages of the manufacturing process. Certain employees have access to sensitive product and
process information, and while we seek to protect such information through confidentiality undertakings, such
measures offer limited protection under Indian law, as this know-how is not capable of registration with any authority.
Additionally, employees with access to such technical information may leave our Company and join competitors. If
any confidential information becomes available to third parties or the public, our competitive advantage could be
compromised. In the event competitors are able to replicate or otherwise benefit from our technology, it may be
difficult, costly, or impractical for us to obtain adequate legal recourse. Any leakage or misuse of our technical know-
how, or disruption in technology arrangements with our partners, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and prospects.
24. Technology failures could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business operations and financial
performance.
Our information technology (“IT”) systems are critical to our ability to manage our manufacturing process, inventory
management, financial management and data handling, to maximize efficiencies and optimize costs. Our IT framework
leverages a suite of integrated tools to streamline operations and enhance efficiency. Advanced data visualization tools
provide real-time insights, supporting informed decision-making across various departments. A cloud-based enterprise
resource planning (ERP) system forms the backbone of resource management, optimizing workflows and enabling
seamless coordination. For human resources management, we utilize cloud-based software to automate payroll,
performance tracking, and employee engagement processes. Additionally, a custom-developed mobile application
supports in-house quality assurance, offering on-the-go access to essential metrics and inspections. A secure cloud-
based storage solution ensures safe and scalable management of critical business data. Together, these technologies
foster an agile, data-driven environment committed to operational excellence.
Any failure of our information technology systems could result in business interruptions, including the loss of our
customers, loss of reputation and weakening of our competitive position, and could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Additionally, our information technology
systems, specifically our software may be vulnerable to computer viruses, cybercrime, computer hacking and similar
disruptions from unauthorized tampering. Such technological systems may also be vulnerable to ransomware attacks,
which may block or restrict access to these systems and impair their functionality, unless certain ransom money is
paid. If such unauthorized use of our systems were to occur, data related to our customers and other proprietary
information could be compromised. While we have implemented a data security, backup and disaster recovery plan
which aims to establish management direction, procedures, and requirements to protect our information systems data,
there is no assurance that these measures will be effective. The integrity and protection of our customer, employee and
company data is critical to our business. Our customers expect that we will adequately protect their personal
35information. A theft, loss, fraudulent or unlawful use of customer, employee or company data could harm our
reputation or result in remedial and other costs, liabilities, fines or lawsuits.
We have not formulated any cybercrime insurance policy and data security policy as on the date of this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus. While we have not faced any instances of significant information technology systems disruptions
or data security breaches in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2022, 2023 and 2024, there
can be no assurance that such instances will not occur in the future.
25. Any variations in our funding requirements and the proposed deployment of Net Proceeds may affect our business
and results of operations.
We intend to use the Net Proceeds for the purposes described in “Objects of the Offer” on page 98 of this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus. Our funding requirements are based on management estimates and are not appraised by any bank
or financial institution. The deployment of the Net Proceeds will be at the discretion of our Board. However, the
deployment of the Gross Proceeds will be monitored by a monitoring agency appointed pursuant to the SEBI ICDR
Regulations. We may have to reconsider our estimates or business plans due to changes in underlying factors, some
of which are beyond our control, such as interest rate fluctuations, changes in input cost, changes in tax policies and
provisions by the GoI or state government, and other financial and operational factors.
Accordingly, investors in the Offer will need to rely upon our management’s judgment with respect to the use of
proceeds. If we are unable to deploy the Net Proceeds in a timely or an efficient manner, it may affect our business
and results of operations. Whilst a monitoring agency will be appointed, for monitoring utilisation of the Gross
Proceeds, the proposed utilisation of the proceeds is based on current conditions, our business plans and internal
management estimates, appraisal report and is subject to changes in external circumstances or costs, or in other
financial condition, business or strategy, as discussed further below. Based on the competitive nature of our industry,
we may have to revise our business plan and/or management estimates from time to time and consequently our funding
requirements may also change. Our internal management estimates may exceed fair market value or the value that
would have been determined by third party appraisals, which may require us to reschedule or reallocate our capital
expenditure and may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In accordance with Section 13(8) and Section 27 of the Companies Act, 2013 and applicable rules, our Company shall
not vary the objects of the Offer without being authorised to do so by the Shareholders by way of a special resolution.
We may not be able to obtain the shareholders’ approval in a timely manner, or at all, in the event we need to make
such changes. Any delay or inability in obtaining such shareholders’ approval may adversely affect our business or
operations. Pursuant to the Companies Act, the promoters and controlling shareholders of our Company, as at the time
of such proposed variation, will be required to provide an exit opportunity to the Shareholders who do not agree to
such proposal to vary the objects, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and in accordance with such terms
and conditions, including in respect of pricing of the Equity Shares, in accordance with the provisions of the Companies
Act and the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
The requirement to provide an exit opportunity to such dissenting shareholders may deter our promoters and
controlling shareholders, as at the time of the proposed variation, from agreeing to any changes made to the proposed
utilization of the Net Proceeds, even if such change is in our interest. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that such
promoters and controlling shareholders will have adequate resources to provide an exit opportunity at the price
prescribed by SEBI. For further details on exit opportunity to dissenting shareholders, see “Objects of the Offer—
Variation in Objects” on page 112. In light of these factors, we may not be able to undertake variation of object of the
Offer to use any unutilized proceeds of the Offer, if any, or vary the terms of any contract referred to in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus, even if such variation is in our interest. This may restrict our ability to respond to any change in
our business or financial condition by re-deploying the un-utilized portion of the Net Proceeds, if any, or varying the
terms of any contract, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.
26. We are yet to place orders for equipment and civil works for establishing a gear box manufacturing facility and a
wind generator components manufacturing facility at Salarpur, Bhiwadi, Rajasthan proposed to be part funded
through this Offer. In the event of any delay in placing the orders, or in the event the vendors are not able to provide
the equipment or services in a timely manner, or at all, it may result in time and cost over-runs and our business,
prospects and results of operations may be adversely affected
We propose to utilise a portion of the Net Proceeds towards part financing the cost of establishing a gear box
manufacturing facility and a wind generator components manufacturing facility at Salarpur, Bhiwadi, Rajasthan, India.
As of January 31, 2026, we have incurred an aggregate cost of ₹82.50 million towards these facilities. The balance
project costs are proposed to be funded through the Net Proceeds and internal accruals. For details, see “Particulars
of the Offer – Objects of the Offer” beginning on page 98.
36Our cost estimates for the gear box facility manufacturing facility and wind generator components manufacturing
facility are based on cost assessment reports issued by an independent chartered engineer along with quotations
obtained from third-party vendors. However, such quotations are valid only for limited periods and may be subject to
revisions based on commercial and technical considerations. Any increase in the costs of equipment, raw materials,
construction or installation may require us to fund the additional costs through internal accruals or other financing
arrangements.
The completion of these projects is dependent on the performance of various external agencies responsible for, among
other things, civil works, supply of plant and machinery, installation and commissioning of equipment and testing of
facilities. If the performance of these agencies is inadequate, it may result in delays or cost overruns which could
adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further, we may not be able to identify suitable replacement
contractors or suppliers in a timely manner.
In addition, the actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may differ from our estimates due to
several factors including unforeseen delays, cost escalations, unanticipated expenses, regulatory changes, engineering
design modifications, technological changes, fluctuations in prices of construction materials and labour costs.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete the proposed facilities within the estimated
cost or timeline.
Further, the proposed facilities are subject to various regulatory approvals and compliances required prior to
commencement of commercial operations. Any delay in obtaining such approvals or in procurement of machinery and
equipment may result in delays in project implementation. Consequently, the proposed schedule of implementation
and deployment of the Net Proceeds may be extended or may vary, which could have an adverse effect on our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
27. Our future growth depends on our ability to successfully implement our business strategies such as product
innovation, portfolio expansion, expanding geographic presence internationally through strategic global
partnerships, and any failure to do so may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
While we have experienced growth in operations and strong financial performance, however, there can be no assurance

The success of our business will depend greatly on our ability to effectively implement our business and growth
strategy. For further information, see “Our Business – Strategies” on page 219. Our ability to achieve our growth
strategies will depend on various factors, including our capacity to identify emerging market opportunities and
evolving industry demands. Many of these factors are beyond our control, and there can be no assurance that we will
be successful in executing our strategies. Expansion into new markets in India or internationally may expose us to
additional risks, including challenges in hiring, training and retaining qualified personnel in unfamiliar regions. We
may also encounter difficulties in identifying reliable suppliers capable of providing raw materials that meet our quality
standards. Further, the railways’ ongoing electrification drive and the industry-wide shift towards advanced signalling
systems require continuous upgradation of our manufacturing capabilities and product offerings. If we are unable to
invest in or adapt to such technological changes in a timely manner, certain products may become obsolete, which
could adversely impact our competitiveness and growth prospects.
Our business growth could strain our managerial, operational and financial resources. Our ability to manage future
growth will depend on our ability to continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management
information systems on a timely basis and to expand, train, motivate and manage our workforce. There can be no
assurance that our personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our future growth. Failure
to effectively manage our expansion may lead to increased costs and reduced profitability and may adversely affect
our growth prospects. Our inability to manage our business and implement our growth strategy could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and profitability.
3728. We are highly dependent on our Promoters and our management team, senior management personnel and key
managerial personnel and the loss of any key team member may adversely affect our business performance.
Our performance depends largely on the efforts and abilities of our promoters, senior management and other key
personnel. They have gained experience in this line of business and have over the years built relations with suppliers,
third party service providers, customers, regulators and other persons who are connected with us and have been actively
involved in the day to day operations and management. Further we believe that the inputs and experience of our senior
management, in particular, and other key personnel are valuable for product development and manufacturing activities,
successful delivery of products and our overall business operations and the strategic directions taken by our Company.
We cannot assure you that these individuals or any other member of our senior management team will not leave us or
join a competitor or that we will be able to retain such personnel or find adequate replacements in a timely manner, or
at all. We may require a long period of time to hire and train replacement personnel when the qualified personnel
terminate their employment with our Company. We may also be required to increase our levels of employee
compensation more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive in attracting employees that our business requires.
The loss of the services of such persons may have an impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows. Further, any unauthorized disclosure of our production processes by our employees to any third party
may have a material adverse impact on our business prospects.
The table below sets forth the attrition rate for permanent employees at different levels in our Company for the periods
indicated:
Particulars Six months period ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
September 30, 2025
Attrition Rate* 12.18% 25.15% 22.40% 22.28%
* Attrition rate is calculated as (the number of employees who have left our Company/resigned during the period)/ (number of employees
existing as of the Opening (beginning) of the period plus the numbers of employees who have joined during the period )
Further, for details regarding change in our Key Managerial Personnel, Senior Management and Directors, see “Our
Management – Changes in the Key Management Personnel and Senior Management in the last three years” and “Our
Management – Changes to our Board in the last three years” on pages 270 and 260, respectively. Further, as we expect
to continue to expand our operations and develop new products, we will need to continue to attract and retain
experienced management personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, our results of operations
may be adversely affected.
29. We have incurred indebtedness and an inability to comply with repayment and other covenants in our financing
agreements could adversely affect our business and financial condition. In addition, certain of our financing
agreements involve variable interest rates and an increase in interest rates may adversely affect our results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition.
The industry in which we operate is working capital intensive in nature. We have historically financed our working
capital and capital expenditure requirements mainly through arrangements with banks. As on January 31, 2026, our
total outstanding borrowings are ₹ 1,356.43 million. For further information on our borrowings, see “Financial
Indebtedness” on page 399.
As we intend to pursue a strategy of continued investment in our development activities, we will incur additional
expenditure in the current and future fiscal periods. We propose to fund such expenditure through a combination of
debt, equity and internal accruals. Our ability to borrow and the terms of our borrowings will depend on our financial
condition, the stability of our cash flows and our capacity to service debt in a rising interest rate environment.
The actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may also differ from estimates as a result of, among
other things, change in business plans due to prevailing economic conditions, unanticipated expenses, new
consumption themes or products, and regulatory changes. To the extent our planned expenditure requirements exceed
our available resources, we will be required to seek additional debt or equity financing. We may also have difficulty
accessing capital markets, which may make it more difficult or expensive to obtain financing in the future. We may
not be successful in obtaining additional funds in a timely manner, or on favourable terms or at all. If we do not have
access to additional capital, we may be required to delay, postpone or abandon or reduce capital expenditures and the
size of our operations, any of which may adversely affect our business, financial conditions, cash flows and results of
operations.
Moreover, certain of our financing documents contain provisions that may limit our ability to incur future debt and
create security and require us to obtain our lender’s consent prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into
certain transactions. Some of the corporate actions that currently require prior consent from certain lenders include,
effecting changes to the capital structure of our Company, availing of additional borrowings, making amendments to
38our Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association, implementing any scheme of expansion, modernisation
or diversification and permitting any merger, demerger, amalgamation, consolidation, restructuring or reorganisation,
permitting any transfer of the controlling interest and/or making any drastic change in the management set up. While,
as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have obtained requisite consents from our lenders for
undertaking the Offer, failure to obtain requisite consents in the future in a timely manner or at all could have
significant consequences on our business, prospects and operations. While we have not breached any covenants in the
six-month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, a failure to observe the
covenants under our financing arrangements or to obtain necessary waivers may lead to the termination of our credit
facilities, acceleration of amounts due under such facilities, suspension of further access/ withdrawals, either in whole
or in part, for the use of the loans/facilities, imposition of penal interest, appointment of a nominee director by the
lender on our Board and enforcement of security. Additionally, working capital facilities availed by us are typically
repayable on demand. In the event any or all of our lenders, demand immediate repayment of facilities availed from
them, we may be unable to procure alternative financing in a timely manner at acceptable terms.
Our ability to service our indebtedness will depend on our future performance and our ability to generate cash, which,
to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, legal, regulatory and other factors,
many of which are beyond our control. If our future cash flows from operations and other capital resources are
insufficient to pay our debt obligations, our contractual obligations, or to fund our other liquidity needs, we may be
forced to sell our assets or attempt to restructure or refinance our existing indebtedness. Our ability to restructure or
refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any
refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants,
which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict us
from adopting some of these alternatives.
We are susceptible to changes in interest rates and the risks arising therefrom. Also see “Financial Indebtedness” on
page 399 for a description of interest payable under our financing agreements.
30. Negative cash flows in prior periods and the potential for continued cash flow mismatches could adversely affect
our liquidity, financial condition and ability to sustain operations and growth.
We have experienced negative cash flows in certain prior periods, particularly from operating activities, financing
activities, and/or investing activities. Negative cash flows may arise due to several factors, including timing
mismatches between receipt of payments from customers and payments to suppliers, high working capital
requirements associated with execution of large contracts, inventory build-up, capital expenditure commitments, and
the need to furnish margin money against bank guarantees and other non-fund based facilities.
The table below denotes the summary of our statement of cash flow for the periods indicated:
(₹ in million)
Particulars Six months period Fiscal
ended September 2025 2024 2023
30, 2025
Net cash generated from / (used in) operating activities 277.36 499.68 206.82 (66.01)
Net cash generated from / (used in) investing activities (272.17) (591.48) (38.62) (18.12)
Net cash generated from / (used in) financing activities (2.14) 83.95 (144.04) 27.81
For more details please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 367.
Our business, especially in relation to government and public sector customers, typically involves milestone-based
billing cycles, extended receivable periods, retention money provisions, and procedural payment approvals, which
may result in delays in realization of cash inflows. At the same time, we are required to incur upfront expenditures
towards procurement of raw materials, manufacturing costs, employee expenses, statutory dues, and performance
obligations. Any adverse movement in these working capital parameters may further strain our operating cash flows.
In addition, we undertake capital expenditure from time to time for expansion of manufacturing capacity, technology
upgrades, and establishment of new facilities, including the proposed projects for which funds are being raised pursuant
to the Offer. Such capital investments may result in negative cash flows from investing activities, particularly during
implementation phases before the associated assets begin generating revenue.
Sustained negative cash flows could constrain our liquidity position, increase reliance on external borrowings and
short-term financing, and expose us to risks relating to availability and cost of funding. Any tightening of credit
conditions, reduction in sanctioned limits, increase in interest rates, or inability to access additional working capital
facilities on acceptable terms may adversely affect our ability to meet operational requirements, service debt
obligations, fund capital expenditure, or execute existing and future contracts.
39Further, persistent cash flow pressures may limit our operational flexibility, impair our ability to negotiate favourable
commercial terms with suppliers, restrict our capacity to provide bank guarantees required for bidding and project
execution, and adversely impact our credit profile.
If we are unable to generate sufficient positive cash flows in the future or effectively manage our working capital cycle
and capital expenditure commitments, our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations, and growth
prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
31. We have certain contingent liabilities as per Ind AS 37 that have been disclosed in our financial statements, which
if they materialise, may adversely affect our financial condition and cash flows.
The following table below sets forth the principal components of our contingent liabilities as per Ind AS 37 –
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as of September 30, 2025:
Particulars Amount
(₹ million)
Outstanding bank guarantees 284.03
Letter of credit outstanding 139.76
Customs and Excise Authorities (refer note (i)) 296.73
Income tax demand notices/orders(refer note (ii)) 18.60
Registration under Paper Import Monitoring System (PIMS)(refer note (iii)) 0.20
Notes:
Note (i): Customs and Excise Authorities
(a) Our Company has received a Show Cause Notice raising a demand of Rs.14.79 million towards differential customs duty, along with an
equivalent penalty under Section 114A and a penalty of Rs. 2.50 million under Section 114AA of the Customs Act, 1962. The matter pertains
to the classification of imported machined pistons. Our Company has filed an appeal before the CESTAT, Mumbai against the order of
principal commissioner of customs (appeals), and the matter is currently pending adjudication.
(b) Our Company received a Show Cause Notice raising a demand of Rs. 115.10 million towards differential customs duty, along with an
equivalent penalty under Section 114A, a redemption fine of ₹2.00 million, and a penalty of Rs. 20.00 million under Section 114AA of the
Customs Act, 1962. A bank guarantee of Rs. 13.19 million has been furnished in this regard. The matter relates to the classification of pistons
and cylinder liners. Our Company has preferred an appeal before the CESTAT, and the case is currently pending adjudication.
(c) Our Company received a Show Cause Notice dated August 11, 2022, and an Order-in-Original dated July 24, 2024, raising a demand of Rs.
4.72 million towards differential IGST, along with an equivalent penalty under Section 114A and a redemption fine of Rs.3.00 million under
Section 125(1) of the Customs Act, 1962. The matter pertains to the revision of the IGST rate from 5% to 12%, effective October 1, 2019. Our
Company has already discharged the differential duty along with applicable interest and has preferred an appeal before the appellate
authority. Pursuant to a hearing held on 7 November 2025, our Company received an order adverse to its appeal. Our Company, has decided
to contest the matter further and is taking appropriate legal steps.
Note (ii) : Income tax demand notices/orders
(a) Income tax demand notices order (Traces Portal) for Rs.18.16 million. Our Company has received a demand of Rs.18.06 million in the
financial year 2022-23 as per the order generated on the TRACES portal. The said demand has been erroneously reflected, despite our
Company having duly deposited the applicable TDS on purchase of shares. Our Company is confident that no financial liability will devolve
on our Company in this regard. Accordingly, no provision has been considered necessary in the books of account.
(b) The subsidiary company has received an income tax demand of Rs. 0.44 million in respect of AY 2023-24, which is currently under review by
subsidiary company.
(c) The Assessing Officer had made an addition of Rs. 4.28 million in respect of the bifurcation of depreciation between land and building, which
has been contested by the subsidiary company. The matter is currently under appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals). The
depreciation claimed has already been set off against the Subsidiary Company’s brought-forward losses. The subsidiary company has
submitted the required details on multiple occasions since 14 December 2023 in response to notices issued by the Department; however, the
proceedings have not yet been concluded and the final order remains pending.
Note (iii) : Paper Import Monitoring System (PIMS)
(a) Our Company received an order imposing a redemption fine of Rs. 0.15 million under Section 125 of the Customs Act, 1962, and a penalty of
Rs. 0.05 million for non-submission of PIMS registration at the time of filing one of the Bills of Entry (BOE). Our Company has preferred an
appeal before the office of the Principal Commissioner of Customs (Appeals), and the matter is currently pending for hearing.
Notes:
i) Further it is not practicable for the management to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above pending resolution of
the respective proceedings.
ii) Our Company and subsidiary’s pending litigations comprises of proceedings pending with tax and other regulatory authorities. The cases are
still in court awaiting deliberations hence no provisions have been made in the consolidated financial statements as it is not probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
iii) Our Company and the subsidiary does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the above contingent liabilities.
Most of the liabilities have been incurred in the normal course of business. If these contingent liabilities were to fully
materialize or materialize at a level higher than we expect, it may materially and adversely impact our business, results
of operations and financial condition. If we are unable to recover payment from our customers in respect of the
commitments that we are called upon to fulfil, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be
materially and adversely impacted. For further information, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Information – Note
37 – capital commitments and contingent liabilities” on page 341.
32. Our business is subject to stringent regulatory and certification requirements in India. Any failure to obtain,
maintain or comply with applicable standards, licenses or approvals may adversely affect our operations, reputation
and financial performance.
40Our business operations, including manufacturing and supply of our products, are subject to a broad range of regulatory
and licensing requirements in India. We are required to obtain and maintain various statutory and regulatory permits,
registrations, and consents under laws such as the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974; Air
(Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and the Factories Act, 1948, among others. In addition, we must obtain
and maintain internationally recognized quality certifications such as ISO certification for quality management to meet
customer needs and enhance satisfaction.
Our manufacturing facilities and products are subject to periodic audits, inspections, and assessments by regulatory
authorities and certification bodies. These are undertaken to verify ongoing compliance with applicable safety, quality,
and operational standards, and may occur annually or periodically. Any deficiencies identified in such assessments,
such as outdated infrastructure, non-compliant production batches, or occupational safety concerns could lead to
penalties, suspension of operations, or cancellation of licenses. We have not experienced any instances of such
deficiencies in the assessments conducted in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscals 2025, 2024, and
2023.
In addition to statutory and regulatory approvals, our business is also dependent on obtaining and maintaining
customer-specific technical approvals, registrations and vendor certifications from various government authorities,
public sector undertakings and other institutional customers. These include approvals from specialized technical and
inspection bodies such as the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO) of railways and similar approval
authorities or technical qualification agencies relevant to the sectors in which we operate. Such approvals are typically
product-specific and subject to rigorous technical evaluation processes, including design validation, prototype
inspection, field trials, quality audits and periodic performance reviews.
The process for obtaining and maintaining such approvals can be time-consuming, uncertain and subject to factors
beyond our control, including changes in technical standards, customer specifications, testing protocols and regulatory
policies. Further, such approvals may be subject to periodic renewal, revalidation, or continued compliance with
prescribed performance, quality and operational parameters. Any delay in obtaining such approvals, inability to secure
approvals for new products, suspension, withdrawal, non-renewal, or adverse modification of such approvals, or failure
to meet ongoing compliance requirements, may restrict our ability to participate in tenders, supply products to key
customers, or expand into new product categories.
Moreover, in certain cases, approvals may be granted only after successful completion of prototype testing, field trials,
or demonstration of prior execution experience, which may require significant time and financial resources. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or retain such approvals in a timely manner or at all. Any failure to
obtain, maintain or renew such statutory, regulatory or customer-specific approvals, including RDSO or similar
technical vendor registrations, could lead to loss of business opportunities, disqualification from tenders, reduction in
order inflows, contractual penalties, or termination of existing orders, which could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Certain material consents, licenses, registrations and approvals required for our operations may expire from time to
time in the ordinary course of business, and applications for renewal have been made or are in the process of being
made with the relevant Central or State Government authorities. For further details, see “Government and Other
Approvals” on page 408.
While there have been no instances of rejection or non-renewal of statutory and regulatory permits, registrations, and
consents, there can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue or renew the required licenses and approvals
within prescribed timelines or at all. Failure or delay in obtaining, renewing, or maintaining the required approvals
could result in regulatory actions, including fines, penalties, restrictions on operations, or legal proceedings, which
could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
33. Our operations are subject to environmental, health, safety and labour laws and regulations, and any non-
compliance with or changes in such laws may adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and
results of operations.
We are subject to a wide range of laws and government regulations, including those related to safety, health, labour,
and environmental protection, such as the Factories Act, 1948, the Environmental Protection Act, 1986 (as amended),
the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974
and the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977. These regulations impose various controls on air
and water discharges, noise levels, and the disposal of hazardous materials. Environmental laws and regulations in
India have become increasingly stringent, and the scope and extent of future regulations, as well as their impact on our
operations, remain uncertain. Violations could also lead to criminal sanctions, revocation of operating permits, or even
the shutdown of manufacturing facilities, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash
flows, and financial condition.
41Our potential exposure includes fines, civil or criminal penalties, third party claims for property damage or personal
injury, and clean-up costs, all of which are inherently difficult to predict in terms of amount and timing. While we
have not faced any such instance in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and
Fiscal 2023, we cannot assure you that similar events will not occur in the future.
We are also subject to the laws and regulations governing employees in such areas as minimum wage and maximum
working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and termination of employees, and work permits. While we have
complied with all the laws and regulations governing employees in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025,
Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, if we fail to comply with such regulations in future, it could lead to enforced
shutdowns and other sanctions imposed by the relevant authorities, as well as the withholding or delay in receipt of
regulatory approvals for our new products. We cannot assure you that we will not be involved in future litigation or
other proceedings or be held liable in any litigation or proceedings including in relation to safety, health and
environmental matters, the costs of which may be significant. For further details on the laws and regulations applicable
to us, see “Key Regulations and Policies” on page 240.
(the reminder of the page has been intentionally left blank)
4234. There have been certain instances of delays in payment of statutory dues by us in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, and the last three Fiscals. Any delay in payment
of statutory dues by us in future, may result in the imposition of penalties and in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash
flows.
Our Company is required to pay certain statutory dues including provident fund contributions and employee state insurance contributions under the Employees’ Provident Funds and
Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948, respectively, and professional taxes. The table below sets forth the details of the statutory dues paid
by our Company, including in relation to our employees for the periods indicated below:

If we are unable to pay our statutory dues on time due to inadvertence or oversight of regulatory requirements or due
to any other reasons, we may be subject to penalties which could impact our financial condition and results of
operations. We cannot assure you such delays in payment of statutory dues will not occur in future or we will not
receive any notice seeking an explanation or an order imposing a penalty in the future in relation to such delays.
35. We are dependent on third party logistics suppliers for the supply of raw materials and delivery of our products.
As a manufacturing business, our success also depends on the uninterrupted supply and transportation of the various
raw materials required for our manufacturing facilities and of our products from our manufacturing facilities to our
customers, or intermediate delivery points, both of which are subject to various uncertainties and risks. We transport
our raw materials and our finished products by road. Our suppliers undertake the delivery of our raw materials, and
we rely on third party logistics suppliers. We typically do not have formal contractual relationships with such logistics
suppliers. The table below indicates our freight outward charges we charge our customers, as a percentage of our
revenue for the relevant periods:

Transportation strikes may also have an adverse effect on supplies and deliveries to and from our customers and
suppliers. In addition, raw materials and products may be lost or damaged in transit for various reasons including
occurrence of accidents or natural disasters. There may also be delay in delivery of raw materials and products which
may also affect our business and results of operation negatively. A failure to maintain a continuous supply of raw
materials or to deliver our products to our customers in an efficient and reliable manner could have a material and
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While there have been no such material
instances of delay in supply of our products or raw materials by such third party logistics companies in the six-month
period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, we cannot assure you that such material
instances will not happen in future.
We may also be affected by an increase in fuel cost, as it will have a corresponding impact on freight charges levied
by our third party logistics suppliers. This could require us to expend considerable resources in addressing our
distribution requirements, including by way of absorbing these excess freight charges to maintain our selling price,
which could adversely affect our results of operations, or passing these charges on to our customers, which could
adversely affect demand for our products.
36. Majority of our Directors do not have prior experience of holding a directorship in a company listed on the Stock
Exchanges, which could adversely affect our compliance with regulations post listing.
Our Directors have relevant experience in their respective fields which benefits our Company, in strategizing the
direction and vision of our Company. However, majority of Directors, except for Rishabh Jain, Sushil Kumar Jain,
and Ramakant Pattanaik, do not have any prior experience in holding a directorship in a company listed on the Stock
Exchange. Post listing of Equity Shares on Stock Exchanges, our Company will also be subject to compliance
requirements under the SEBI Listing Regulations and other applicable law post listing of the Equity Share on the Stock
Exchanges. Our Board is capable of efficiently managing such compliance requirements by engaging professionals
having expertise in managing such compliances.
37. We enter into certain related party transactions in the ordinary course of our business, and we cannot assure you
that such transactions will not have an adverse effect on our results of operation, cash flows and financial
condition.
We have entered into transactions with related parties in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025,
Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, and from, time to time, we may enter into related party transactions in the future. These
transactions principally include remuneration to directors, key managerial personnel, professional fees, rent expense,
sale of goods and services, purchase of goods, Job work charges etc. While all such transactions have been conducted
on an arm’s length basis, in accordance with the Companies Act and other applicable regulations pertaining to the
evaluation and approval of such transactions. There can be no assurance that we could not have achieved more
favourable terms if such transactions had not been entered into with related parties. Furthermore, it is likely that we
will continue to enter into related party transactions in the future. There can be no assurance to you that such
transactions in future, individually or in aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations. All related party transactions that we may enter into post listing, will be subject to an approval
by our Audit Committee, Board, or Shareholders, as required under the Companies Act and the SEBI Listing
Regulations. Such related party transactions in the future or any other future transactions may potentially involve
conflicts of interest which may be detrimental to the interest of our Company and we cannot assure you that such
transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will always be in the best interests of our minority shareholders and will
not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
The table below provides details of our arithmetic aggregated absolute total of related party transactions and the

38. We will continue to be controlled by our Promoters and members of our Promoter Group after the completion of
the Offer.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Promoters and members of the Promoter Group hold 95.00%
of the issued, subscribed and paid-up Equity Share capital of our Company. Upon completion of the Offer, our
Promoters and members of our Promoter Group will continue to hold majority of our equity share capital, which will
allow them to continue to control the outcome of matters submitted to our Shareholders for approval. After this Offer,
our Promoters and members of our Promoter Group will continue to exercise significant control or exert significant
influence over our business and major policy decisions, including but not limited to control the composition of our
Board, delay, defer or cause a change of our control or a change in our capital structure, delay, defer or cause a merger,
consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us. The interests of our Promoters and members of
our Promoter Group may conflict with your interests and the interests of our other shareholders, and our Promoters
and members of our Promoter Group could make decisions that may adversely affect our business operations, and
hence the value of your investment in the Equity Shares.
39. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us against all potential losses or to satisfy potential claims,
which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and future
prospects.
While we maintain insurance coverage for our manufacturing facilities, employees, inventories and equipment, we do
not currently maintain dedicated product liability insurance. However, our insurance policies may not cover all risks
associated with our operations and are subject to various exclusions, limitations and deductibles. As a result, any
claims arising from defects, malfunctions or failures in our products could expose us to significant financial liability,
which may not be covered under our existing insurance policies and could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations. 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. Our inability to maintain adequate insurance
cover in connection with our business could adversely affect our operations and profitability. To the extent that we
suffer loss or damage as a result of 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.
We could face liabilities or otherwise suffer losses should any unforeseen incident such as fire, flood, and accidents
affect our manufacturing facilities or our Registered or Corporate Office.
While we believe that we have insurance coverage in amounts adequate to cover the value of our assets our insurance
policies covers various types of risks but are subject to exclusions and deductibles as per policy terms agreed. There
can be no assurance that our insurance policies will be adequate to cover the losses that may be incurred as a result of
such interruption or the costs of repairing or replacing the damaged facilities. If we suffer a large uninsured loss or any
insured loss suffered by us significantly exceeds our insurance coverage, our business, financial condition and results
of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
The table below sets forth information of insurance cover on assets of our Company as of the dates indicated:

40. Our business operations are being conducted on premises leased from third parties which includes our Registered
Office as well. Our inability to continue operating from such premises, or to seek renewal or extension of such
leases may have an adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition.
Our business operations are primarily conducted on premises leased from third parties and we may continue to enter
into such transactions in future. We have offices and facilities across India, including our Registered Office,
warehouses, residential properties, assembly sheds, and Corporate Office.

For further information, see “Our Business - Properties” on page 238. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
continue operating out of these premises or renew the leases on favourable terms, or at all. Any inability to renew these
leases or secure alternative premises in a timely manner may adversely impact our business, operations and financial
condition.
47Given that our operations are conducted primarily on premises leased from third parties, any encumbrance or adverse
impact, or deficiency in, the title, ownership rights or development rights of the owners from whose premises we
operate, breach of the contractual terms or any inability to renew such agreements on acceptable terms or at all may
adversely affect our business and results of operations. In the event of relocation, we may be required to obtain fresh
regulatory licenses and approvals. Further, we cannot assure you that in the event of relocation we will be able to find
suitable locations. Until we receive these, we may suffer disruptions in our operations and our business which may
also adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Although, we have not faced any
disruptions to our operations or business due to an inability to continue operating from leased premises or to seek
renewal or extension of such leases in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, and the last three Fiscals, we
cannot assure you that we will not encounter such issues in the future. Any failure to continue operating out of our
existing premises or to renew our leases on favourable terms, or at all, could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
41. Our Company has outstanding payables that are subject to regulatory requirements under the Foreign Exchange
Management Act, 1999 ("FEMA") and applicable RBI regulations. Any failure to comply with such requirements,
or delays in obtaining necessary approvals, may expose our Company to regulatory penalties, reputational harm,
and adverse financial consequences.
As of September 30, 2025, our Company had outstanding payables aggregating to ₹25.83 million towards expenses
payable to certain non-residents, which were overdue in terms of the Foreign Exchange Management (Current Account
Transactions) Rules, 2000, read with the Master Circular on Import of Goods and Services dated July 1, 2014, as
amended. For further information, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Information – Note 47 – Additional
regulatory information” on page 360.
Under the applicable regulatory framework and based on guidance from our AD Category – I bank, such payments are
required to be made within six months from the due date. AD Category – I banks may, in certain circumstances permit
delayed settlement for a period of up to three years. Any remittance beyond such period requires prior approval of the
RBI. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, certain of our outstanding payables have remained unsettled
beyond the prescribed timelines and we are in the process of submitting the requisite documentation as advised by our
AD Category – I bank in connection with such delays. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained
in a timely manner, or at all.
Any delay in, or failure to obtain, such approvals may result in penalties, compounding proceedings or other regulatory
actions under FEMA. Additionally, such delays may expose us to claims or disputes from our counterparties and could
adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows and reputation.
42. Negative publicity against us, our suppliers, our customers or any of our or their affiliates could cause us
reputational harm and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results
of operations and prospects.
From time to time, we, our suppliers, customers, or any of our or their affiliates may be subject to negative publicity
relating to various aspects of business conduct, including matters such as product safety, regulatory compliance,
workplace practices, anti-corruption measures, or environmental impact. In the railway and renewable energy industry,
where public and institutional trust is critical, any such adverse publicity, regardless of its accuracy or the entity directly
involved can materially affect perception.
Even where the allegations are later proven to be unfounded or unrelated to us directly, any association with such third
parties, whether suppliers, distributors, contractors, or customers, may result in reputational spillover. This could lead
to a temporary or prolonged erosion of trust in our brand, product reliability, or business ethics in the eyes of customers,
regulatory bodies, or the general public.
Our reputation plays a key role in securing new business, especially in industries with high safety sensitivity such as
railway and renewable energy, where product integrity and corporate conduct are heavily scrutinized. Reputational
damage, once incurred, may be difficult, time consuming, and costly to repair, potentially affecting our ability to retain
existing contracts or enter into new ones.
While there have been no known instances of negative publicity directly involving us in in the six-month period ended
September 30, 2025 and Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, we cannot assure you that such incidents, either
involving us or those we are commercially associated with, will not occur in the future. Any such development could
materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
43. We may be subject to fraud, theft, employee negligence or similar incidents which may adversely affect our results
of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
48Our operations may be subject to incidents of theft or damage to inventory in transit, prior to or during stocking or
delivery. Our industry typically does not encounter inventory loss on account of employee theft, vendor fraud, and
general administrative error. We maintain large amounts of inventory at our manufacturing facilities at all times.
Although we have relevant controls in place and have not experienced any such instances in the six-month period
ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, there can be no assurance that we will not
experience any fraud, theft, employee negligence, security lapse, loss in transit or similar incidents in the future, which
could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
44. Failure to maintain confidential information of our customers could adversely affect our results of operations and
or damage our reputation.
We are required to keep confidential certain details of our customers. in accordance with contractual obligations and
applicable laws. Accordingly, we do not disclose sensitive details such as technical specifications, pricing
arrangements, and project-related information without prior consent or unless required by law. In the event of any
breach or alleged breach of our confidentiality arrangements with our customers, these customers may initiate litigation
against us for breach of confidentiality obligations. Moreover, if our customers’ confidential information is
misappropriated by us or our employees, our customers may seek damages and compensation from us. Assertions of
misappropriation of confidential information or the intellectual property of our customers against us, if successful,
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if such
assertions against us are unsuccessful, they may cause us to incur reputational harm and substantial cost. While there
have been no instances of assertions of misappropriation of confidential information or intellectual property of our
customers against us in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023,
we cannot assure you that any such assertions may not be made against us going forward which may cause us to incur
reputational harm.
45. Our Statutory Auditors have included remarks in the annexure to the auditors’ report issued on the audited
financial statements for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 which do not require any corrective adjustments in the
Restated Consolidated Financial Information. We cannot assure you that any similar remarks will not form part
of our financial statements for the future fiscal periods, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, the
trading price of the Equity Shares, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our Statutory Auditors included certain remarks including remarks on Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 in
the annexure to the auditors’ reports for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 which do not require any corrective adjustments
in the Restated Consolidated Financial Information, details of which are as follows:

These observations did not require any corrective adjustments in the Restated Financial Information. For further
information, see, “Restated Consolidated Financial Information - Notes to adjustments - None adjusting items” on
page 357. We cannot assure you that our auditors’ reports for any future fiscal periods will not contain qualifications,
matters of emphasis or other observations or remarks which could subject us to additional liabilities, due to which
our reputation and financial condition may be adversely affected.
46. We have in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus included certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other
industry measures related to our operations and financial performance. These non-GAAP measures and industry
measures may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry in which we operate. not
be comparable with financial, operational or industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature
computed and presented by other similar companies.
Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other industry measures relating to our operations and financial
performance have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We compute and disclose such non-GAAP
financial and operational measures, and such other industry related statistical and operational information relating to
our operations and financial performance as we consider such information to be useful measures of our business and
financial performance, and because such measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others to
evaluate the operational performance of online travel businesses, many of which provide such non-GAAP financial
and operational measures, and other industry related statistical and operational information. These are supplemental
measures of our performance and liquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, Ind AS, Indian
GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP. Further, these measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity
under Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an
alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years/ period or any other measure of financial performance or as an
indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or
financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP.
50These non-GAAP financial measures and such other industry related statistical and other information relating to our
operations and financial performance are not measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS,
Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash
flows, profit / (loss) for the years / period or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our
operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities
derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures
and such other industry related statistical and other information are not standardised terms, hence a direct comparison
of these non-GAAP measures between companies may not be possible and these may not be computed on the basis of
any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore may not be comparable to financial
measures and industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by
other companies and has limited usefulness as a comparative measure.
47. Industry information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been derived from an industry report
prepared by 1Lattice exclusively commissioned and paid for by us for such purpose.
Certain sections of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus include information based on, or derived from, an industry report

Herring Prospectus derived from, or based on, the 1Lattice Report should be read taking into consideration the
foregoing. Industry sources and publications are also prepared based on information as of specific dates and may no

estimates, projections, forecasts and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. While industry sources take due care
and caution while preparing their reports, they do not guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the data.
Potential investors should consult their own advisors and undertake an independent assessment of information in this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus based on, or derived from, the 1Lattice Report before making any investment decision

part or all of your investment.
While our market capitalisation is subject to the determination of the Offer Price, which will be determined by our

Our Promoters and Directors are interested in our Company, in addition to normal remuneration or benefits and
reimbursement of expenses, to the extent of their shareholding or their relatives’ holding in our Company. Further,
other than as disclosed in “Summary of Related Party Transactions” on page 68, respectively, there are no other
transactions entered into by our Company with our Promoters, and Directors. While we believe that all such
transactions have been conducted on an arm’s length basis, we cannot assure you that we might have obtained more
favourable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. For further information on the interest
of our Directors, and Promoters, other than reimbursement of expenses incurred or normal remuneration or benefits,
see “Our Management – Interest of Directors”, and “Our Promoters and Promoter Group - Interests of Promoters”
on pages 260, and 278, respectively.
51. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on several factors and there can be no assurance that we will
declare or pay dividends on our Equity Shares.
The declaration, recommendation and payment of dividends on our Equity Shares in the future will depend on several
factors, including our profitability, cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditure plans, financial
condition, contractual restrictions, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Our ability to distribute dividends
is also subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, including the requirement to pay dividends only out of
distributable profits and after making prescribed transfers to reserves, if applicable.
We may, in the future, retain a substantial portion of our earnings to finance our business operations, meet working
capital needs, service existing and future indebtedness, fund capital expenditure, support expansion initiatives, or
maintain adequate liquidity buffers. Accordingly, even if we generate profits in future periods, we may not declare
dividends.
In addition, our financing arrangements may contain covenants or conditions that restrict or limit our ability to declare
and pay dividends without prior lender consent. Any tightening of such covenants, increase in borrowing levels, or
deterioration in our financial position could further constrain our capacity to distribute profits to shareholders.
Our business is also characterised by significant working capital requirements due to long project execution cycles,
milestone-based customer payments, and obligations to furnish bank guarantees. Any adverse changes in our operating
performance, cash flow position, receivables cycle, or capital allocation priorities may result in a decision to conserve
cash rather than distribute dividends.
Further, any future acquisitions, expansion projects, or unforeseen contingencies may require significant cash
outflows, which could reduce funds available for dividend distribution.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will declare or pay dividends in any particular financial year, or at all,
and investors may need to rely primarily on capital appreciation, if any, for returns on their investment.
52. Standardised railway contract conditions may constrain our commercial flexibility and increase compliance
burdens.
The railway contracts awarded through the bidding process are typically based on standardised terms and conditions
that are predominantly formulated in favour of the contracting authority. These terms often provide limited scope for
negotiation on key commercial and operational provisions, particularly those relating to pricing, delivery schedules,
performance parameters, and liability thresholds. As a result, our ability to incorporate adequate safeguards, adjust
costs in line with market fluctuations, or seek equitable risk-sharing mechanisms is significantly constrained. Railway
contracts generally prescribe fixed or narrowly adjustable pricing structures that do not sufficiently account for
variations in raw material costs, import duties, logistics expenses, or other input-related escalations during the
execution period. The terms may also impose strict delivery timelines, detailed technical specifications, and extensive
documentation and compliance requirements, with limited room to accommodate operational contingencies or design
modifications.
These provisions are often drafted in broad terms, permitting the customer considerable discretion in determining
compliance, certifying performance, or approving payments. In most cases, the customer may retain the right to
unilaterally amend specifications, reschedule deliveries, or alter project milestones without proportionate
compensation for the resulting impact on our costs or timelines. Further, payment terms are frequently linked to
customer inspections, testing, or approvals, which may be deferred or delayed at the customer’s discretion. This may
lead to extended receivable cycles, higher working capital requirements, and increased exposure to payment delays.
Dispute resolution mechanisms in these contracts are also generally aligned with the customer’s policies and may limit
52our recourse in the event of disagreements relating to performance, pricing adjustments, or interpretation of contractual
terms.
Collectively, these factors restrict our commercial flexibility, increase contractual risks, and may adversely affect our
financial performance, cash flows, and competitive position if we are unable to effectively manage the obligations
imposed by such customer-favoured terms.
53. Information relating to the installed manufacturing capacity and capacity utilization of our manufacturing
facilities included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are based on various assumptions and estimates and future
production and capacity may vary.
Information relating to the installed manufacturing capacity of our manufacturing facilities and capacity utilisation
included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are based on various assumptions and estimates of our management
including the standard capacity calculation practice in our industry, and the capacities of principal equipment. These
assumptions and estimates include 300 working days in a financial year and 150 working days for six months period
ended September 30, 2026, at three shifts per day operating for 24 hours a day and 8 hours per shift. While we have
obtained a certificate dated March 29, 2026 from Karan Dhall, Independent Chartered Engineer (bearing membership
number AM150845-0) in relation to such annual installed capacity of our manufacturing facilities and capacity
utilisation, future capacity utilisation may vary significantly from the estimated production capacities of our
manufacturing facilities and historical capacity utilisation. For further information, see “Our Business – Installed
Capacity and Capacity Utilization” on page 229. Further, the installed capacity, capacity utilisation and other related
information may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and
therefore may not be comparable to capacity information that may be computed and presented by other comparable
companies in the industry in which we operate.
External Risk Factors
54. Pursuant to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like Additional
Surveillance Measure (“ASM”) and Graded Surveillance Measures (“GSM”) by the Stock Exchanges in order to
enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors.
SEBI and the Stock Exchanges have introduced various pre-emptive surveillance measures in order to enhance market
integrity and safeguard the interests of investors, including ASM and GSM. ASM and GSM are imposed on securities
of companies based on various objective criteria such as significant variations in price and volume, enhance the
integrity of the market and safeguard the interest of the investors, concentration of certain customer accounts as a
percentage of combined trading volume, average delivery, securities which witness abnormal price rise not
commensurate with financial health and fundamentals such as earnings, book value, fixed assets, net worth, price /
earnings multiple, market capitalization etc.
Upon listing, the trading of our Equity Shares would be subject to differing market conditions as well as other factors
which may result in high volatility in price, low trading volumes, and a large concentration of customer accounts as a
percentage of combined trading volume of our Equity Shares. The occurrence of any of the abovementioned factors
or other circumstances may trigger any of the parameters prescribed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges for placing our
securities under the GSM and/or ASM framework or any other surveillance measures, which could result in significant
restrictions on trading of our Equity Shares being imposed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges. These restrictions may
include requiring higher margin requirements, requirement of settlement on a trade for trade basis without netting off,
limiting trading frequency, reduction of applicable price band, requirement of settlement on gross basis or freezing of
price on upper side of trading, as well as mentioning of our Equity Shares on the surveillance dashboards of the Stock
Exchanges. In the event our Equity Shares are subject to such surveillance measures implemented by the Stock
Exchanges, we may be subject to certain additional restrictions in connection with trading of our Equity Shares such
as limiting trading frequency (for example, trading either allowed once in a week or a month) or freezing of price on
upper side of trading which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Equity Shares or may in general
cause disruptions in the development of an active trading market for our Equity Shares. The imposition of these
restrictions and curbs on trading may have an adverse effect on market price, trading and liquidity of our Equity Shares
and on the reputation and conditions of our Company.
55. Recent global economic conditions have been challenging and continue to affect the Indian market, which may
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
The Indian economy and its securities markets are influenced by economic developments and volatility in securities
markets in other countries. Investors’ reactions to developments in one country may have adverse effects on the market
price of securities of companies located in other countries, including India. For instance, the economic downturn in
the U.S. and several European countries during a part of Fiscal 2008 and 2009 adversely affected market prices in the
global securities markets, including India. Negative economic developments, such as rising fiscal or trade deficits, or
53a default on national debt, in other emerging market countries may also affect investor confidence and cause increased
volatility in Indian securities markets and indirectly affect the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide financial
instability could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy, including the movement of exchange rates and
interest rates in India and could then adversely affect our business, financial performance and the price of our Equity
Shares.
Any other global economic developments or the perception that any of them could occur may continue to have an
adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets and may significantly reduce
global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets. Any
of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our access to capital, which could have an adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations and reduce the price of our equity shares. Any financial
disruption could have an adverse effect on our business, future financial performance, shareholders’ equity and the
price of our Equity Shares.
56. We are subject to anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, violation of which may subject our Company and/or our
Promoters to governmental inquiries and/or investigations, which if material and adverse in nature, could adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition in future periods and our reputation.
We have operations in India. Those operations often involve interactions with governmental authorities and officials
at the Indian federal, state and local level. We are subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws in India that prohibit
improper payments or offers of improper payments to governments and their officials and political parties for the
purpose of obtaining or retaining business or securing an improper advantage and require the maintenance of internal
controls to prevent such payments. Although, we maintain an anti-bribery compliance program and train our
employees in respect of such matters, our employees might take actions that could expose us to liability under anti-
bribery laws. In certain circumstances, we may be held liable for actions taken by our partners and agents, even though
they are not always subject to our control. Any violation of anti-corruption laws against us or our Promoters could
result in penalties, both financial and non-financial, that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition in future periods and reputation.
57. Natural or man-made disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other
events could materially and adversely affect our business.
Natural disasters (such as typhoons, flooding, and/or earthquakes), epidemics, pandemics such as COVID-19, and
man-made disasters, including acts of war, terrorist attacks, and other events, many of which are beyond our control,
may lead to economic instability, including in India or globally, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition, and results of operations. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted
in and may continue to result in a period of sustained instability across global financial markets, induce volatility in
commodity prices, increase in supply chain, logistics times and costs, increase borrowing costs, cause outflow of
capital from emerging markets and may lead to overall slowdown in economic activity in India. Our operations may
be adversely affected by fires, natural disasters, and/or severe weather, which can result in damage to our property or
inventory and generally reduce our productivity and may require us to evacuate personnel and suspend operations.
Any terrorist attacks or civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic, and political events in India could have
a negative effect on us. Such incidents could also create 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 price of the Equity Shares.
A number of countries in Asia, including India, as well as countries in other parts of the world, are susceptible to
contagious diseases. Future outbreaks of contagious disease could adversely affect the global economy and economic
activity in the region. As a result, any present or future outbreak of a contagious disease could have a material adverse
effect on our business and the trading price of the Equity Shares.
58. Any downgrading of India’s sovereign debt rating by an international rating agency could have a negative impact
on our business, cash flows and results of operations.
Our borrowing costs and our access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of India. Any
adverse revisions to credit ratings for India and other jurisdictions we operate in by international rating agencies may
adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our
growth on favourable terms and consequently adversely affect our business and financial performance and the price
of the Equity Shares.
59. If inflation rises in India, increased costs may impact our ability to maintain or achieve profitability.
India has experienced high inflation relative to developed countries in the recent past. Increasing inflation in India
could cause a rise in the costs of rent, wages, raw materials and other expenses, potentially reducing disposable income.
Consequently, this may impact the ability of citizens to allocate funds toward premiums for insurance products like
ours. Further, high fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more difficult for us to accurately estimate or control our
54costs. Any increase in inflation in India can increase our expenses, which we may not be able to adequately pass on to
our users, whether entirely or in part, and may adversely affect our business and financial condition. If we are unable
to increase our revenues sufficiently to offset our increased costs due to inflation, it could have an adverse effect on
our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, the GoI has previously
initiated economic measures to combat high inflation rates, and it is unclear whether these measures will remain in
effect. There can be no assurance that Indian inflation levels will not worsen in the future.
60. The Indian tax regime has undergone substantial changes which could adversely affect our business and the
trading price of the Equity Shares.
Any change in Indian tax laws could have an effect on our operations. The Government of India has implemented two
major reforms in Indian tax laws, namely the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”), and provisions relating to general
anti-avoidance rules (“GAAR”). The indirect tax regime in India has undergone a complete overhaul. The indirect
taxes on goods and services, such as central excise duty, service tax, central sales tax, state value added tax, surcharge
and excise have been replaced by GST with effect from July 1, 2017. The GST regime continues to be subject to
amendments and its interpretation by the relevant regulatory authorities is constantly evolving. GAAR became
effective from April 1, 2017. The tax consequences of the GAAR provisions being applied to an arrangement may
result in, among others, a denial of tax benefit to us and our business. In the absence of any substantial precedents on
the subject, the application of these provisions is subjective. If the GAAR provisions are made applicable to us, it may
have an adverse tax impact on us. Further, if the tax costs associated with certain of our transactions are greater than
anticipated because of a particular tax risk materializing on account of new tax regulations and policies, it could affect
our profitability from such transactions.
Earlier, distribution of dividends by a domestic company was subject to Dividend Distribution Tax (“DDT”), in the
hands of a company at an effective rate of 20.56% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and cess). Such dividends were
generally exempt from tax in the hands of the shareholders. However, the GoI has amended the Income-tax Act, 1961
(“IT Act”) to abolish the DDT regime. Accordingly, any dividend distribution by a domestic company is subject to
tax in the hands of the investor at the applicable rate. Additionally, we are required to withhold tax on such dividends
distributed at the applicable rate.
The Government of India announced the Union Budget for the Financial Year 2026 (“Budget”) and the Finance Bill,
2025, which has proposed certain amendments to taxation laws in India has received the assent of President on March
29, 2025, becoming the Finance Act, 2025 (“Finance Act”). The Finance Act inter alia increased the rate of taxation
of short term capital gains and long-term capital gains arising from transfer of an equity share. There is no certainty
on the impact of Finance Act on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect our Company’s business,
financial condition, results of operations or on the industry in which we operate. Investors should consult their own
tax advisors about the consequences of investing or trading in the Equity Shares. Investors are advised to consult their
own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in our Equity
Shares. Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing
law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent
may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may affect the viability of our current business or restrict
our ability to grow our business in the future.
We cannot predict whether any new tax laws or regulations impacting our services will be enacted, what the nature
and impact of the specific terms of any such laws or regulations will be or whether if at all, any laws or regulations
would have an adverse effect on our business. Further, any adverse order passed by the appellate authorities/ tribunals/
courts would have an effect on our profitability. In addition, we are subject to tax related inquiries and claims.
61. We may be affected by competition laws, the adverse application or interpretation of which could adversely affect
our business including allegations of cartelization.
The Competition Act, 2002, of India, as amended (“Competition Act”), regulates practices having an appreciable
adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India (“AAEC”). Under the Competition Act, any formal or
informal arrangement, understanding, or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an AAEC is considered
void and may result in the imposition of substantial penalties. Further, any agreement among competitors which
directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale prices, limits or controls production, supply,
markets, technical development, investment, or the provision of services or shares the market or source of production
or provision of services in any manner, including by way of allocation of geographical area 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 AAEC and is considered void. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any
enterprise in the relevant point.
On March 4, 2011, the Government notified and brought into force the combination regulation (merger control)
provisions under the Competition Act with effect from June 1, 2011. These provisions require acquisitions of shares,
55voting rights, assets or control or mergers or amalgamations that cross the prescribed asset and turnover based
thresholds to be mandatorily notified to and pre-approved by the Competition Commission of India (the “CCI”).
Additionally, on May 11, 2011, the CCI issued Competition Commission of India (Procedure for Transaction of
Business Relating to Combinations) Regulations, 2011, as amended, which sets out the mechanism for implementation
of the merger control regime in India.
The Competition Act aims to, among others, prohibit all agreements and transactions which may have an AAEC in
India. Consequently, all agreements entered by us could be within the purview of the Competition Act. Further, the
CCI has extra-territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct, or combination occurring
outside India if such agreement, conduct, or combination has an AAEC in India.
However, the impact of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered into by us cannot be predicted
with certainty at this stage. We do not have any outstanding notices in relation to non-compliance with the Competition
Act or the agreements entered into by us.
The Government of India has also introduced the Competition (Amendment) Bill, 2023 in the Lok Sabha on February
8, 2023, which has proposed several amendments to Competition (Amendment) Bill, 2022 introduced in the Lok Sabha
in August, 2022 and the Competition Act. These amendments include the introduction of deal value thresholds for
assessing whether a merger or acquisition qualifies as a “combination”, expedited merger review timelines,
codification of the lowest standard of “control” and enhanced penalties for providing false information or a failure to
provide material information. As these are draft amendments, we cannot ascertain at this stage whether the proposed
amendments will come into force in the form suggested or at all, their applicability, partially or at all, in respect of our
operations once they come into force, or the extent to which the amendments, if and when they come into force, will
result in additional costs for compliance, which in turn may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash
flows and prospects. 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 Competition Commission of India,
or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the Competition Commission of India
or if any prohibition or substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our
business and cash flows.
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 Competition Commission of India, or any adverse
publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the Competition Commission of India or if any
prohibition or substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business and
cash flows
62. Financial instability in other countries may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets.
The Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries,
including conditions in the United States, Europe and certain emerging economies in Asia. Financial turmoil in Asia,
United States, United Kingdom, Russia and elsewhere in the world in recent years has adversely affected the Indian
economy. Any worldwide financial instability may cause increased volatility in the Indian financial markets and,
directly or indirectly, adversely affect the Indian economy and financial sector and us. Although economic conditions
vary across markets, loss of investor confidence in one emerging economy may cause increased volatility across other
economies, including India. Financial instability in other parts of the world could have a global influence and thereby
negatively affect the Indian economy. Financial disruptions could materially and adversely affect our business,
prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, economic developments globally can have
a significant impact on our principal markets. Concerns related to a trade war between large economies may lead to
increased risk aversion and volatility in global capital markets and consequently have an impact on the Indian
economy.
These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, have had and may continue to have a material
adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce
global market liquidity, restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets or restrict
our access to capital. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations and reduce the price of the Equity Shares.
63. Investors may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us, our Directors, the Book Running
Lead Managers or any of their directors and executive officers in India respectively, except by way of a law suit in
India.
Our Company is a company incorporated under the laws of India and all of our Directors are located in India. All of
our assets, our Key Managerial Personnel and officers are also located in India. As a result, it may not be possible for
56investors to effect service of process upon our Company or such persons in jurisdictions outside India, or to enforce
judgments obtained against such parties outside India.
Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13 and Section 44A of the Code of
Civil Procedure, 1908. India is not party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of
foreign judgments. India has reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters
with only a limited number of jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Hong
Kong. In order to be enforceable, a judgment from a jurisdiction with reciprocity must meet certain requirements
established in the Indian Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The CPC only permits the enforcement and execution of
monetary decrees in the reciprocating jurisdiction, not being in the nature of any amounts payable in respect of taxes,
other charges, fines or penalties. Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions which do not have reciprocal recognition
with India, including the United States, cannot be enforced by proceedings in execution in India. Therefore, a final
judgment for the payment of money rendered by any court in a non-reciprocating territory for civil liability, whether
or not predicated solely upon the general laws of the non-reciprocating territory, would not be directly enforceable in
India. The party in whose favour a final foreign judgment in a non-reciprocating territory is rendered may bring a fresh
suit in a competent court in India based on the final judgment within three years of obtaining such final judgment.
However, it is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an action
were brought in India or that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments if it viewed the amount of damages as
excessive or inconsistent with the public policy in India. Further, there is no assurance that a suit brought in an Indian
court in relation to a foreign judgment will be disposed of in a timely manner. In addition, any person seeking to
enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain the prior approval of the RBI to repatriate any amount
recovered, and we cannot assure that such approval will be forthcoming within a reasonable period of time, or at all,
or that conditions of such approval would be acceptable. Such amount may also be subject to income tax in accordance
with applicable law.
Risks Relating to the Equity Shares and this Offer
64. The trading volume and market price of the Equity Shares may be volatile following the Offer.
The market price of the Equity Shares may fluctuate as a result of, among other things, the following factors, some of
which are beyond our control:
• quarterly variations in our results of operations;
• results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;
• results of operations that vary from those of our competitors;
• changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by research
analysts and investors;
• a change in research analysts’ recommendations;
• announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint operations or
capital commitments;
• announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us;
• new laws and governmental regulations applicable to our industry;
• additions or departures of key management personnel;
• changes in exchange rates;
• fluctuations in volume of Equity Shares traded; and
• general economic and stock market conditions.
Changes in relation to any of the factors listed above could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares.
65. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse effect on
the value of our Equity Shares, independent of our results of operations and cash flows.
57On listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in respect of
our Equity Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into the relevant foreign currency
for repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during the time taken for such
conversion may reduce the net dividend to foreign investors. In addition, any adverse movement in currency exchange
rates during a delay in repatriating the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares outside India, for example, because of a
delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity Shares may reduce the proceeds received by
Shareholders. For example, the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the U.S. dollar has fluctuated substantially
in recent years and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future, which may have an adverse effect on the
returns on our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
66. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares and dividend
received.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares in an
Indian company is generally taxable in India. A securities transaction tax (“STT”) is levied on and collected by an
Indian stock exchange on which equity shares are sold. Any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for
more than 12 months may be subject to long-term capital gains tax in India at the specified rates depending on certain
factors, such as STT paid, the quantum of gains and any available treaty exemptions. Accordingly, you may be subject
to payment of long-term capital gains tax in India, in addition to payment of STT, on the sale of any Equity Shares
held for more than 12 months. Further, any gain realized on the sale of our Equity Shares held for a period of 12
months or less will be subject to short-term capital gains tax in India. While non-residents may claim tax treaty benefits
in relation to such capital gains income, generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s right to impose tax on capital
gains arising from the sale of shares of an Indian company.
Our Company cannot predict whether any tax laws or other regulations impacting it will be enacted or predict the
nature and impact of any such laws or regulations or whether, if at all, any laws or regulations would have a material
adverse effect on our Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
67. Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they purchase
in the Offer.
The Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to applicable Indian laws, certain actions must be
completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading in the Equity Shares may commence. Investors’ book
entry, or ‘demat’ accounts with depository participants in India, are expected to be credited within one working day
of the date on which the Basis of Allotment is approved by the Stock Exchanges. The Allotment of Equity Shares in
the Offer and the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s demat account with depository participant could take
approximately five Working Days from the Bid/ Offer Closing Date and trading in the Equity Shares upon receipt of
final listing and trading approvals from the Stock Exchanges is expected to commence within six Working Days of
the Bid/ Offer Closing Date. There could be a failure or delay in listing of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges
pursuant to changes in applicable law or otherwise. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval or otherwise
commence trading in the Equity Shares would restrict investors’ ability to dispose of their Equity Shares. There can
be no assurance that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in the Equity
Shares will commence, within the time periods specified in this risk factor. We could also be required to pay interest
at the applicable rates if allotment is not made, refund orders are not dispatched or demat credits are not made to
investors within the prescribed time periods.
68. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity linked instruments by us may dilute
your shareholding and sale of Equity Shares by shareholders with significant shareholding may adversely affect
the trading price of the Equity Shares.
We may be required to finance our growth through future equity offerings. Any future equity issuances by us, including
a primary offering of Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares 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
shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse
consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of our Equity Shares or incurring additional debt.
In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur may also affect the market price of
our Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that we will not issue Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities
linked to Equity Shares or that our Shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the
future.
69. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract foreign
investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
58Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and residents
are freely permitted (subject to certain restrictions), if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting
requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance
with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then a
prior regulatory approval will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale
of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no-objection or a tax
clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities.
In addition, pursuant to the Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020, issued by the DPIIT, which has been
incorporated as the proviso to Rule 6(a) of the FEMA Rules, investments where the beneficial owner of the equity
shares is situated in or is a citizen of a country which shares a land border with India, can only be made through the
Government approval route, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy dated October 15, 2020 and the FEMA
Rules. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in
India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/purview, such
subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government of India. These investment
restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore derivative instruments.
We cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other governmental agency can be obtained
on any particular terms or at all. For further information, see “Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities”
on page 458.
70. Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which
investors may be more familiar with and may consider material to their assessment of our financial condition.
Our Restated Consolidated Financial Information for Fiscal 2023 and 2024 have been derived from the: (ii) audited
Ind AS financial statements of our Company as at and for the years ended March 31, 2025 prepared in accordance
with the Ind AS as prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules
2015, as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India; (iii) audited special purpose Ind AS
financial statements of our Company as at and for the years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023. The special
purpose Ind AS financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 have been
prepared after making suitable adjustments to the accounting heads from their Indian GAAP (values following
accounting policies and accounting policy choices (both mandatory exceptions and optional exemptions availed, as
per Ind AS 101) consistent with that used at the date of transition to Ind AS (April 1, 2023) and as per the presentation,
accounting policies and grouping/classifications including revised Schedule III disclosures followed as at and for the
Financial Year ended March 31, 2025. The aforementioned financial statements have been restated in accordance with
the SEBI ICDR Regulations and the ICAI Guidance Note. Ind AS differs in certain significant respects from Indian
GAAP, IFRS, U.S. GAAP and other accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar in other
countries. If our financial statements were to be prepared in accordance with such other accounting principles, our
results of operations, cash flows and financial position may be substantially different. Prospective investors should
review the accounting policies applied in the preparation of our financial statements and consult their own professional
advisers for an understanding of the differences between these accounting principles and those with which they may
be more familiar. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures
presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should be limited accordingly.
71. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Offer Price of the Equity
Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer. Further, the current market
price of some securities listed pursuant to certain previous issues managed by the Book Running Lead Managers
is below their respective issue prices.
The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and will be determined by our
Company and the Selling Shareholders in consultation with the BRLMs. Furthermore, the Offer Price of the Equity
Shares will be determined by our Company and Selling Shareholders in consultation with the BRLMs through the
Book Building Process. These will be based on numerous factors, including factors as described under “Basis for
Offer Price” on page 114 and may not be indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the Offer.
In addition to the above, the current market price of securities listed pursuant to certain previous initial public offerings
managed by the BRLMs is below their respective issue price. For further details, see “Other Regulatory and Statutory
Disclosures – Price information of past issues handled by the BRLMs” on page 421. The factors that could affect the
market price of the Equity Shares include, among others, broad market trends, financial performance and results of
our Company post listing, and other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that an active market will
develop, or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares or provide any assurance regarding the price at which
the Equity Shares will be traded after listing.
5972. QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of
Equity Shares or the Bid amount) at any stage after submitting a bid, and Retail Individual Investors are not
permitted to withdraw their Bids after Bid/Offer Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are required to block the Bid amount
on submission of the Bid and are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of equity shares
or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Similarly, Retail Individual Investors can revise or withdraw
their Bids at any time during the Bid/Offer Period and until the Bid/ Offer Closing date, but not thereafter. While we
are required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all
Stock Exchanges where such Equity Shares are proposed to be listed, including Allotment, within three Working Days
from the Bid/ Offer Closing Date or such other period as may be prescribed by the SEBI, events affecting the investors’
decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including adverse changes in international or national monetary policy,
financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition may
arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment.
We may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events may limit the
investors’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares
to decline on listing. Therefore, Bidders will not be able to withdraw or lower their bids following adverse
developments in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business,
results of operations, cash flows or otherwise between the dates of submission of their Bids and Allotment.
73. Holders of Equity Shares may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and
thereby may suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer its holders of equity
shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of equities shares to maintain their existing
ownership percentages before the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived
by adoption of a special resolution. However, if the laws of the jurisdiction the investors are located in does not permit
them to exercise their pre-emptive rights without our filing an offering document or registration statement with the
applicable authority in such jurisdiction, the investors will be unable to exercise their pre-emptive rights unless we
make such a filing. If we elect not to file a registration statement, the new securities may be issued to a custodian, who
may sell the securities for the investor’s benefit. The value the custodian receives on the sale of such securities and the
related transaction costs cannot be predicted. In addition, to the extent that the investors are unable to exercise pre-
emption rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares held by them, their proportional interest in us would be reduced.
74. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other
jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity of
corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ
from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law may not be
as extensive and widespread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may
face challenges in asserting their rights as shareholder of our Company than as a shareholder of an entity in another
jurisdiction.
75. A third-party could be prevented from acquiring control of us post the Offer, because of anti-takeover provisions
under Indian law.
As a listed Indian entity, there are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change
in control of our Company. Under the SEBI Takeover Regulations, an acquirer has been defined as any person who,
directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a company, whether
individually or acting in concert with others. Although these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests
of investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to take
control of our Company subsequent to completion of the Offer. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our
Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be
beneficial to our shareholders, such a takeover may not be attempted or consummated because of SEBI Takeover
Regulations.

from third parties, and (iv) other commercial and technical factors. However, such fund requirements and deployment of funds
have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. See “Risk Factors- Any variations in our funding requirements
and the proposed deployment of Net Proceeds may affect our business and results of operations” on page 36. We may have to
revise our funding requirements and deployment of the Net Proceeds from time to time on account of various factors, such as
financial and market conditions, business and strategy, competitive environment, interest or exchange rate fluctuations, increase
in input costs of construction materials and labour costs, logistics and transport costs, incremental preoperative expenses, taxes
and duties, engineering procurement and construction costs, working capital margin, regulatory costs, environmental factors,
fluctuations in prices quoted by our vendors and other external factors, which may not be within the control of our management.
Subject to applicable law, in case of a shortfall in raising requisite capital from the Net Proceeds or an increase in the total
estimated cost of the Objects, business considerations may require us to explore a range of options including utilising our
internal accruals and seeking additional debt from existing and future lenders. We believe that such alternate arrangements
would be available to fund any such shortfalls. Further, in case of variations in the actual utilisation of funds earmarked for the
purposes set forth above, increased fund requirements for a particular purpose may be financed by surplus funds, if any,
99available in respect of the other purposes for which funds are being raised in the Fresh Issue, in accordance with the applicable
laws. In the event that the estimated utilisation of the Net Proceeds in a scheduled Financial Year is not completely met, due to
the reasons stated above, the same shall be utilised in the next Fiscal Year and vice-versa, as may be determined by our Company
in accordance with applicable laws. If the actual utilisation towards any of the Objects is lower than the proposed deployment,
such balance will be used towards general corporate purposes, to the extent that the total amount to be utilised towards general
corporate purposes will not exceed 25% of the Gross Proceeds in accordance with Regulation 7(2) of the SEBI ICDR
Regulations.

117Description on the historic use of the KPIs by our Company to analyze, track or monitor the operational and/or
financial performance of our Company
In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain KPIs, as presented above, as a supplemental measure to review and
assess our financial and operating performance. The presentation of these KPIs is not intended to be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for the Restated Consolidated Financial Information. We use these KPIs to evaluate our financial and
operating performance. Some of these KPIs are not defined under Ind AS and are not presented in accordance with Ind AS.
These KPIs have limitations as analytical tools.
Further, these KPIs may differ from the similar information used by other companies and hence their comparability may
be limited. Therefore, these metrics should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to Ind AS measures
of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or results of operation. Although
these KPIs are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our
Company’s management believes that it provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating
results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry because it provides
consistency and comparability with past financial performance, when taken collectively with financial measures prepared
in accordance with Ind AS.
Investors are encouraged to review the GAAP measures and to not rely on any single financial or operational metric to
evaluate our business.

Source: The financial information for our Company is based on the Restated Consolidated Financial Information as at and for the financial year ended March 31, 2023.
Notes:
1) All financials for the Indian peers mentioned above are on a consolidated basis (unless specified otherwise) and have been sourced from the respective companies’ annual reports, audited financial statements, investor
presentations and analyst updates submitted to the Stock Exchanges for the relevant years.
2) NA refers to Not Available, where the financial information is unavailable i.e. not reported by the industry peers in either their annual reports, audited financial results and investor presentations as submitted to the Stock
Exchanges.
a. Additionally, in certain instances where financial metrics have been computed using formulas, if one or more required input parameters were not disclosed in the respective annual reports, audited financial statements,
or investor disclosures, the metric has not been calculated. In such cases, the value has been indicated as NA.
3) The financial year of ABB India Limited follows a calendar year period (January to December). For comparability purposes, the financial data has been aligned as follows:
i. Jan 25 – Jun 25 considered as 6M FY26
ii. Jan 24 – Dec 24 considered as FY25
iii. Jan 23 – Dec 23 considered as FY24
iv. Jan 22 – Dec 22 considered as FY23
4) The financial year of Siemens Limited follows an October to September reporting cycle. For comparability purposes, the financial data has been aligned as follows:
i. Oct 24 – Sept 25 considered as FY25
ii. Oct 23 – Sept 24 considered as FY24
iii. Oct 22 – Sept 23 considered as FY23
iv. 6M FY26 has not been considered for Siemens Limited due to non-availability of financial disclosures for the corresponding period and has therefore been indicated as “–”.
5) The financial year of Global peers follows a calendar year period (January to December). For comparability purposes, the financial data has been aligned as follows:
i. Jan 25 – Jun 25 considered as 6M FY26
ii. Jan 24 – Dec 24 (CY24) considered as FY25
iii. Jan 23 – Dec 23 (CY23) considered as FY24
iv. Jan 22 – Dec 22 (CY22) considered as FY23
6) To enable cross-company financial comparison, reported financials / operational metrices of global peers have been converted into Indian Rupees (INR) using the following exchange rate assumptions:
− Financials of Wabtec Corporation converted at 1 US$ = INR 86.60 for FY26, 1 US$ = INR 84.56 for FY25, 1 US$ = INR 82.78 for FY24, and 1 US$ = INR 80.32 for FY23.
− Financials of Knorr-Bremse converted at 1 Euro = INR 91.16 for FY26, 1 Euro = INR 90.92 for FY25, 1 Euro = INR 89.01 for FY24, and 1 Euro = INR 83.67 for FY23
1227) For Siemens Limited, financial data for FY25 and FY24 has been considered post the demerger of the Energy business, while FY23 financials available in public disclosures are pre demerger. Accordingly, FY24 revenue
growth has been marked as NR “Not Relevant”, as the FY24 revenue figure is post demerger whereas the FY23 revenue base is pre demerger, making the growth not directly comparable.
8) Financial values have been directly considered from the respective disclosures wherever explicitly reported in the companies’ annual reports, audited financial statements, investor presentations and other investor materials.
9) For Indian peers, 6M FY26 revenue growth (%) has been computed on a year-on-year basis by comparing revenue reported for 6M FY26 with the corresponding period of 6M FY25, based on financial disclosures in quarterly
results, investor presentations, and stock exchange filings.
10) All operational metrics have been sourced from the respective companies’ annual reports, audited financial statements, investor presentations and analyst presentations for the relevant financial or calendar years, as
applicable. The figures have been directly extracted from such reports. Wherever the relevant information was not disclosed, the same has been stated as “NA”.

1. Macroeconomic Scenario of the Indian economy
1.1 The global real GDP is expected to rise at ~3.1% from CY24-29, while India is expected to grow at ~6.4% from
CY24-29
Global real GDP has increased by ~3.3% in CY24, despite challenges such as higher interest rates, tighter financial
conditions, and geopolitical tensions, including Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, rising conflict in the Middle East,
and turbulent US-China relations with sanctions spanning sectors from solar cells to computer chips. In comparison,
India maintained the highest growth rate, with a year-on-year increase of ~6.5% in CY24, expected to grow at an
average ~6.4% over CY24-29. India’s medium-term outlook through CY26 remains highly favourable, with real GDP
growth projected to average around 6.4–6.5% per year, underscoring sustained momentum as the fastest-growing
major economy globally. Continued robust growth is expected to be supported by strong domestic demand, higher
investments, and government-led infrastructure expansion, ensuring India maintains its status as an outperformer
among major economies through CY26. Real GDP growth for major advanced economies, such as the USA, UK, and
Germany, remained subdued in CY24, with growth rates of 2.8%, 1.1%, and -0.2%, respectively, driven by factors
including higher interest rates, inflationary pressures, and moderating recoveries from the pandemic.
In CY24, India was the standout performer, posting real GDP growth rates of ~6.5%. This growth is primarily driven
by strong domestic demand, healthy private consumption, rising investments, and sustained policy support for
infrastructure and key sectors. India’s growth prospects are further strengthened by its large and youthful demographic
advantage, increasing participation as a global supply chain partner under the China+1 strategy, robust FDI inflows,
and the rapid expansion of manufacturing exports. The sustained momentum of India as the fastest-growing major
economy further consolidates its position globally. India is currently the fourth-largest economy in CY24, with its
growth expected to be driven by manufacturing expansion, digital economy growth, and capex-focused public
spending. Continued infrastructure investments under the National Infrastructure Pipeline and growth-oriented
reforms are expected to provide strong tailwinds, along with a significant boost from PLI schemes across strategic
sectors, including electronics, green energy, and semiconductors. Railways play a pivotal strategic role within the
National Infrastructure Pipeline and PLI framework, driving logistics efficiency, supporting large-scale manufacturing
clusters, and enabling seamless connectivity for India’s industrial and export ambitions.
131India’s GDP growth is driven by factors like:
• Population growth & expanding middle class: India’s growing population, especially the expanding middle
class, is increasing and boosting consumer-driven growth. India’s middle class is expected to reach ~644M
(~42% of total population) by FY30, from ~516M (~35% of total population) in FY25.
• Rising consumer spending: As per World Economic Forum, India’s private consumption, which stood at
INR 181.3T in FY25 is projected to exceed INR 372T by FY30 driven by broader economic expansion.
• Infrastructure investments: Government focus on infrastructure, including roads, railways, and urban
development, enhances productivity and supports long-term economic growth. In FY25-26 budget, the
government has allocated INR 11.2T, which accounts for 6.3% of the GDP, towards capital expenditure for
FY26. India launched the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), in FY20 which planned an investment of
INR 109.85T till FY25. As FY25 concludes, projects worth ~INR 31.1T have been completed and rest are
under execution, with strong progress seen across key sectors, supported by sustained capital outlay and
private sector participation.
• Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) & ‘Make in India’: FDI inflows, supported by initiatives like ‘Make in
India’, boost industrial growth, employment, and exports, strengthening the economy. Since the inception of
“Make in India”, the nominal GDP of India has increased at a CAGR of 10.9% from ~INR 105T in FY15 to
~INR 330.68T in FY25.
• Technological advancements & digital economy: Growing internet penetration and adoption of digital
technologies are transforming sectors like e-commerce, fintech, and manufacturing, contributing significantly
to GDP growth. The digital economy, which accounted for 4.5% of India’s GDP in FY14, is expected to
contribute 20% of the GDP by FY26.
1.2 India’s per capita income stood at ~US$ 2.7K in CY24 and is expected to reach ~US$ 4.1K by CY29
India’s per capita income is expected to rise from ~US$ 2.7K in CY24 to ~US$ 4.1K by CY29, growing at a CAGR
of ~8.6%, driven by strong manufacturing, higher agricultural output, and robust government spending, making it the
fastest-growing major economy, followed by China (~5.7%), the UK (~4.5%), the USA (~3.5%), and Germany
(~2.9%). India is on track to become the world’s 3rd largest economy within the next five years, and its GDP per capita
is expected to grow multi fold over the next 25 years, reaching the similar level as China is today, creating immense
opportunities for a surge in domestic consumption and strengthening a vital pillar of the Indian economy. This
remarkable rise is being fuelled by the government’s large-scale infrastructure push under NIP and accelerating
urbanisation. India’s urban population is projected to increase from about ~37% in CY24 to ~40% by CY29, adding
over 400M people to urban areas by CY50. Both factors are driving productivity gains, greater employment, and
domestic consumption across India’s growth centres.
1321.3 India’s Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) stood at 29.6% of GDP in CY24, ahead of major developed
economies
Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF), as a percentage of GDP, underscores the investment landscape across top
global economies and highlights India’s robust capital expenditure trends in recent years. India’s GFCF ratio has
consistently ranged between 27% and 31% over the past decade, outpacing several developed peers such as the USA
(20-22%), UK (17–18%), and France (21-24%), and signalling the nation’s ongoing infrastructure drive and private
sector capex momentum. While China remains higher than India with a GFCF consistently above 41%, India’s
sustained investment levels reinforce its structural growth story and resilience against cyclical downturns, positioning
it as one of the most dynamic investment destinations among emerging markets.
India’s GFCF peaked at 42% in CY07, declined steadily to 27% by CY20, and then gradually recovered to 30% by
CY24. This reflects strong investment in the early 2000s, a slowdown in the 2010s, and a recent partial rebound. This
gradual recovery is driven by sectors such as residential construction, power, and emerging areas like defence, railways,
and data centres. Flagship government initiatives such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme and Make in
India are driving sectoral growth, boosting new capital formation, encouraging technology adoption, and enhancing
export competitiveness, particularly in manufacturing, electronics, and allied industries.
1.4 In FY25, the electricity, gas, water supply & other utility services segment accounted for 2.4% of India’s GVA,
reflecting the country’s growing momentum in renewables and sustainable energy infrastructure development
GVA (Gross Value Added) and GDP (Gross Domestic Product) are closely linked but distinct measures. GDP captures
the total value of goods and services produced in a country, while GVA reflects the value contributed by each sector
after subtracting intermediate consumption. GVA’s sectoral detail is critical for analysing productivity trends, tracking
India’s structural shift from agriculture to services and manufacturing, and informing evidence-based policymaking.
In FY25, the financial, real estate & professional services segment was the highest contributor to GVA in India with
23.8%, followed by trade, transport and related services with 18.5% and manufacturing with 17.2%. In FY20, the
financial, real estate & professional services segment was the highest contributor to GDP with 21.9% followed by
trade, transport and related services with 20.3% and manufacturing with 17.1%.
133Electricity, gas, and utility services are increasingly central to India’s growth story, propelled by rapid renewable
energy adoption and a strong policy push for sustainability and energy security. The sector is advancing through record
capacity additions in solar, wind, and green hydrogen, supported by major transmission upgrades and robust
investment, enhancing power availability and reliability for industries and households. This transformation is
accelerating India’s progress toward clean energy targets, strengthening its competitive position, and fostering broad-
based economic expansion.
1.5 Investment trend in infrastructure
1.5.1 India’s capital expenditure was 4.3% of GDP in FY25, reflecting sustained government focus on infrastructure
Capital expenditure (Capex) refers to investments made by the government or businesses in creating or upgrading
long-term assets such as infrastructure, machinery, and technology. It plays a pivotal role in driving economic growth
by enhancing productive capacity, boosting employment, and crowding in private investment. India’s capital
expenditure has witnessed a marked expansion over the past decade, rising from 2.6% of GDP in FY19 to 4.3% in
FY25, driven by both direct government spending and grants-in-aid for asset creation. The central government’s
strategic push, reflected in core capex scaling up from 1.7% to 3.1% between FY19 and FY25, alongside increased
allocation towards grants-in-aid, has propelled effective capital expenditure to new highs. This sustained uptrend
highlights a strong policy commitment to infrastructure development and public investment, bolstering long-term
productivity and supporting India’s economic growth ambitions.

2. Indian railway infrastructure
2.1 Overview of the railway infrastructure industry
2.1.1 Introduction to the role & scale of railways in India’s infrastructure ecosystem
Indian Railways is currently the 4th largest railway system in the world, with a vast network spanning ~69,800 route
kilometres, administered by the Ministry of Railways and the Indian Railways Board. Serving every state and major
city, it functions as the backbone of India’s logistics and passenger mobility ecosystem.
As of FY24, Indian Railways operated a vast network comprising ~91,948 passenger coaches, ~327,991 wagons, and
access to 7,461 stations, enabling cost-effective connectivity across both urban & rural regions. During the year, it
transported ~6,905M passengers & handled ~1,589.9M tonnes of freight, underscoring its scale & central role in
India’s economy. The network has set an ambitious goal to triple its cargo load capacity to ~3,000 MT by CY27,
reflecting a strong focus on freight efficiency & infrastructure expansion. As of CY25, daily ridership stood at ~18M
passengers, highlighting the railway’s critical contribution to mass mobility nationwide.
To guide long-term growth & enhance the efficiency of the railway network, the Government of India introduced the
National Rail Plan (NRP), a strategic framework aimed at creating a “future-ready” rail system by CY30. The plan
focuses on capacity enhancement, infrastructure modernisation & modal shift from road to rail for both freight &
passenger movement.
Under the NRP, the share of freight traffic by rail is targeted to increase from the current ~27% to ~45% by FY30,
supported by large-scale infrastructure initiatives. A key measure includes the construction of dedicated freight
corridors (DFCs) along high-density routes to arrest the declining market share of railways & strengthen its
competitiveness. The plan also aims to substantially reduce freight transit time by increasing the average speed of
freight trains to 50 kmph, alongside the completion of eastern & western DFCs & the development of additional
corridors to further decongest existing routes & enhance network capacity.
136Further, to encourage private sector participation and expand cargo handling infrastructure, the government launched
the Gati Shakti Multi-Modal Cargo Terminal (GCT) Policy in CY21. The policy facilitates industry-led investment in
developing new terminals for handling rail cargo, with locations identified based on regional demand and cargo
potential. By CY25, Indian Railways is set to commission 100 GCTs, while additional locations have been
provisionally identified across various states for future development.
By connecting remote regions and providing affordable mass transit, Indian Railways not only underpins the national
market but also plays a crucial role in driving economic growth, generating employment, and facilitating urbanisation.
2.1.2 Indian Railways, powering economic growth through affordable logistics, passenger mobility, and national
integration
Indian Railways is a secure, affordable, and efficient transport backbone, carrying a significant share of India’s freight
and providing the most economical mass transit. Beyond mobility, it generates large-scale employment, drives
industrial growth, and fosters national integration. With electrification and dedicated freight corridors, the sector is
enhancing sustainability, efficiency, and competitiveness, aligning with India’s US$ 5T economy vision.
2.1.3 Indian railway infrastructure is shaped by diverse stakeholders and strengthened through PPP models
The Indian railway infrastructure sector is shaped by a wide set of stakeholders spanning the central government,
production units, metro corporations, and private players. While the Ministry of Railways and the Indian Railways
Board remain the apex authorities, operations and development are increasingly supported by specialised bodies,
public enterprises, and growing private sector participation. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models have become
integral, especially in station redevelopment, freight infrastructure, and rolling stock procurement, helping reduce the
public funding burden while bringing in global expertise and efficiency.
The supplier ecosystem within Indian Railways is structured and tiered based on the criticality of components, level
of technological integration, and nature of engagement with production units and OEMs. Manufacturers supplying
high-value, safety-critical and performance-intensive components typically operate under stricter qualification norms
and long-term procurement frameworks established by the Ministry of Railways and its production units.
Within this ecosystem, Category 1 suppliers generally refer to manufacturers that supply mission-critical components
directly to Indian Railways’ production units, locomotive factories, coach factories, or approved rolling stock OEMs.
These suppliers are typically subject to rigorous technical validation, RDSO approvals, and compliance with
international quality certifications such as IRIS and ISO standards. Their role often extends beyond manufacturing to
include design support, testing validation, and long-term supply partnerships, making them integral to the railway
value chain.
Other suppliers within the ecosystem include sub-component manufacturers and ancillary vendors who primarily
support Tier-1 manufacturers through specialised part manufacturing and machining services.
137The supply of traction systems and related locomotive components is subject to rigorous testing, certification, and
validation requirements mandated by railway authorities and OEMs, creating significant barriers to entry while
ensuring high standards of safety, reliability, and operational performance.
The supplier landscape of Indian Railways can be broadly illustrated based on functional hierarchy and level of
integration within the value chain, as depicted below:

6) Financial values have been directly considered from the respective disclosures wherever explicitly reported in the companies’ annual reports,
audited financial statements, investor presentations and other investor materials. In cases where specific financial metrics or parameters were
not explicitly disclosed, the values have been computed using the formulas outlined below:
- EBITDA = Profit before tax + finance costs + depreciation & amortisation – other income – share in profit of joint venture / associate
- EBITDA Margin (%) = EBITDA / revenue from operations
- PAT = Profit after tax from continuing operations (as reported in financial statements)
- PAT Margin (%) = PAT / revenue from operations
- Equity / Total Equity / Closing shareholder Equity = Equity share capital + other equity + non-controlling interest
- ROE (%) = PAT / closing shareholders’ equity
- EBIT = Profit before tax (from continuing operations) + finance cost – other income – share in profit of joint venture / associate
- Short Term Lease Liabilities = Current lease liabilities
- Short Term Borrowings = Current borrowings
- Total Borrowings = Current borrowings + non-current borrowings
- Total Lease Liabilities = Current lease liabilities + non-current lease liabilities
- Closing Capital Employed = Total equity + total borrowings + total lease liabilities + deferred tax liabilities – deferred tax assets
- ROCE (%) = EBIT / closing capital employed
- Net fixed Asset Turnover (x) = Revenue from operations / (Property plant and equipment + right of use of assets + work in progress)
- Net Debt = Total borrowings + total lease liabilities – cash and cash equivalent
209- Net Debt to Equity Ratio (x) = Net debt / total equity
- Net Working Capital = (Current assets – cash and cash equivalent – other bank balances) – (Current liabilities – short term borrowings
– short term lease liabilities)
- Net Working Capital (Days) = (Net working capital / revenue from operations) x number of days in the period
7) For the purpose of calculating Net Working Capital (Days), the number of days considered is based on the reporting period. A full financial
year has been assumed to comprise 365 days, while a half-year period (e.g., 6M FY26) has been assumed to comprise 183 days, to ensure
consistency and comparability across different reporting periods.
8) For Indian peers, 6M FY26 revenue growth (%) has been computed on a year-on-year basis by comparing revenue reported for 6M FY26
with the corresponding period of 6M FY25, based on financial disclosures in quarterly results, investor presentations, and stock exchange
filings.
9) For EBITDA Margin (%), PAT Margin (%), ROE (%), ROCE (%), Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio (x), Net Debt to Equity Ratio (x) and Net
Working Capital (Days), an “Average of peers” has been calculated for each respective year. The average represents the mean of the values
reported by all peer companies excluding Pioneer Fil-med for the corresponding financial year.

Notes to Peers
1) All financials for the global peers have been considered on a consolidated basis (unless specified otherwise) and have been sourced from the
respective companies’ annual reports, audited financial results, and investor disclosures for the relevant financial years.
2) NA refers to Not Available, where the financial information is unavailable, i.e. not reported by the industry peers in either their annual reports,
audited financial results and investor presentations as submitted to the Stock Exchanges.
- Additionally, in certain instances where financial metrics have been computed using formulas, if one or more required input parameters
were not disclosed in the respective annual reports, audited financial statements, or investor disclosures, the metric has not been
calculated. In such cases, the value has been indicated as NA.
3) For better comparability with the Company, the financials of global peers have been aligned such that:
- Jan’25 – Jun’25 has been considered as 6M FY26
- Jan’24 – Dec’24 (CY24) has been considered as FY25
- Jan’23 – Dec’23 (CY23) has been considered as FY24
- Jan’22 – Dec’22 (CY22) has been considered as FY23
4) To enable cross-company financial comparison, reported financials of global peers have been converted into Indian Rupees (INR) using the
following exchange rate assumptions:
- Financials of Wabtec Corporation converted at 1 US$ = INR 86.60 for FY26, 1 US$ = INR 84.56 for FY25, 1 US$ = INR 82.78 for
FY24, and 1 US$ = INR 80.32 for FY23.
- Financials of Knorr-Bremse converted at 1 Euro = INR 91.16 for FY26, 1 Euro = INR 90.92 for FY25, 1 Euro = INR 89.01 for FY24,
and 1 Euro = INR 83.67 for FY23.
5) Financial values have been directly considered from the respective disclosures wherever explicitly reported in the companies’ annual reports,
audited financial statements, investor presentations and other investor materials. In cases where specific financial metrics or parameters were
not explicitly disclosed, the values have been computed using the formulas outlined below:
- EBITDA = Profit before tax + finance costs + depreciation & amortisation – other income – share in profit of joint venture / associate
- EBITDA Margin (%) = EBITDA / revenue from operations
- PAT = Profit after tax from continuing operations (as reported in financial statements)
- PAT Margin (%) = PAT / revenue from operations
- Equity / Total Equity / Closing shareholder Equity = Equity share capital + other equity + non-controlling interest
- ROE (%) = PAT / closing shareholders’ equity
- EBIT = Profit before tax (from continuing operations) + finance cost – other income – share in profit of joint venture / associate
- Short Term Lease Liabilities = Current lease liabilities
- Short Term Borrowings = Current borrowings
- Total Borrowings = Current borrowings + non-current borrowings
- Total Lease Liabilities = Current lease liabilities + non-current lease liabilities
- Closing Capital Employed = Total equity + total borrowings + total lease liabilities + deferred tax liabilities – deferred tax assets
- ROCE (%) = EBIT / closing capital employed
- Net fixed Asset Turnover (x) = Revenue from operations / (Property plant and equipment + right of use of assets + work in progress)
- Net Debt = Total borrowings + total lease liabilities – cash and cash equivalent
- Net Debt to Equity Ratio (x) = Net debt / total equity
- Net Working Capital = (Current assets – cash and cash equivalent – other bank balances) – (Current liabilities – short term borrowings
– short term lease liabilities)
- Net Working Capital (Days) = (Net working capital / revenue from operations) x number of days in the period
6) For the purpose of calculating Net Working Capital (Days), the number of days considered is based on the reporting period. A full financial
year has been assumed to comprise 365 days, while a half-year period (e.g., 6M FY26) has been assumed to comprise 183 days, to ensure
consistency and comparability across different reporting periods.
2117) For global peers, 6M FY26 revenue growth (%) has been computed on a year-on-year basis by comparing revenue reported for 6M FY26
with the corresponding period of 6M FY25, based on financial disclosures in quarterly results, investor presentations, and stock exchange
filings.
8) For EBITDA Margin (%), PAT Margin (%), ROE (%), ROCE (%), Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio (x), Net Debt to Equity Ratio (x) and Net
Working Capital (Days), an “Average of peers” has been calculated for each respective year. The average represents the mean of the values
reported by all peer companies excluding Pioneer Fil-med for the corresponding financial year.

8. Key threats and challenges to the railway equipment and WTG industry
• Supply-chain dependency: Dependence on imported metals, precision castings, and electronic parts exposes
the sector to input-cost volatility and shipment delays, affecting delivery schedules and cost efficiency.
• Approval and certification delays: Strict RDSO, CEA, and railway certification norms require multi-stage
testing and documentation, extending product-development timelines and delaying revenue realisation.
• Working-capital strain: Deferred payments, retention money, and milestone-based billing structures in
railway and renewable projects increase funding requirements and strain cash flow.
• Competitive pricing pressure: Aggressive bidding under government and PSU tenders compresses margins,
compelling manufacturers to balance cost control with technology and quality standards.
• Technological and compliance risk: Fast-evolving traction, turbine, and digital control technologies
demand continuous R&D and adherence to global standards; delayed adaptation can limit eligibility for future
tenders.
• Policy and funding uncertainty: Dependence on public-sector investments and regulatory frameworks
makes the industry sensitive to changes in budget priorities, fiscal constraints, or policy revisions.

among the limited number of players in India with manufacturing capabilities in this segment (Source: 1Lattice Report). Our
entry into this sector leverages our existing technical expertise, fabrication infrastructure and quality systems, enabling us to
cater to the requirements of renewable energy developers and related stakeholders. We have executed orders from one of the
leading wind turbine manufacturers for the supply of 129 sets of wind generators during the fiscal 2026, of which 117 sets were
supplied between October 1, 2025, and February 28, 2026, evidencing initial market acceptance of our offerings in the
renewable energy domain.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we are approved supplier of advanced traction products to Indian Railways
and are among the top three Category-I approved suppliers for traction alternators and a Category-I approved supplier for
traction motors, HHP 4500 traction motors, brake discs and filters. (Source: 1Lattice Report). We operate three manufacturing
facilities, out of which two facilities are located in Bawal, Haryana, and our third facility is located in Manesar, Haryana. All
our facilities hold certifications under the International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”), including ISO 9001:2015 for
our manufacturing processes.

Products for railways:
Traction Motor
225A traction motor is a specialized electric motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical power to propel railway and
metro vehicles. Traction motors typically feature high-efficiency AC or DC designs in locomotives, including robust enclosures,
IGBT inverters, air or liquid cooling, and bogie-mounted configurations via flexible couplings. Voltage and speed are precisely
regulated for optimal torque, regenerative braking, and high power density across diverse terrains. These motors are applied in
railways EMUs, MEMUs, high-speed trains like Vande Bharat, metro systems, freight locomotives, and distributed power
systems, delivering reliability, energy efficiency, and long service life compliant with RDSO standards.
Alternators
Typically, in a three-phase AC generator, alternators are coupled to diesel engines in railways locomotives, converting
mechanical power into electrical energy to drive traction motors and auxiliary systems. These alternators provide reliable on-
board power generation for propulsion, enabling high tractive effort and consistent performance in varied operating conditions.
Their utility lies in supporting self-sufficient diesel-electric operations, powering lighting, fans, compressors, and control
circuits while optimizing fuel efficiency through field control and rectifier integration. They are primarily applied in freight and
passenger locomotives like WAP-7 and WAG-9, DEMUs, and shunting engines across railways networks, ensuring
uninterrupted service in remote areas without overhead electrification.
Filters
Locomotive filters comprise fuel filters, lube oil filters and air filters designed for use in locomotive engine systems. These
filters are intended to remove contaminants, particulate matter, moisture and combustion by-products from fuel, lubricating oil
and intake air streams utilised in locomotive engines. Fuel filters, including primary and secondary filters, are used within the
fuel delivery system to remove debris and water prior to fuel injection, with primary filters capturing relatively larger
contaminants and secondary filters providing finer filtration for fuel supplied to high-pressure injection systems. Lube oil filters
are designed to remove soot, metallic particles and other impurities from engine lubricating oil using filtration media such as
pleated paper or synthetic materials. Air filters are used in the engine intake system to remove dust and other airborne
contaminants from ambient air before it enters the engine cylinders.
Brake Discs
Mounted on axles in railways and metro coaches, brake discs provide friction surfaces for pads to generate stopping force in
disc brake systems. These discs offer superior heat dissipation through vented designs and cooling ribs, enabling high-speed
braking up to 200 kmph with minimal fade and extended wear life compliant with RDSO standards for LHB coaches. Their
utility includes reliable emergency and service braking, reducing stopping distances while handling thermal loads from repeated
applications in passenger and freight services. They are applied in LHB air-conditioned coaches, metro trainset, high-speed
Vande Bharat trains, and EP-braked wagons across railways networks, enhancing safety and maintenance efficiency in diverse
operating conditions.
Stators
A stator is the stationary component in traction motors and alternators that generate or interact with magnetic fields for power
conversion. It provides a fixed magnetic structure essential for inducing voltage in alternators or driving rotor motion in motors,
ensuring stable electrical output under varying loads and speeds. Its utility includes minimizing energy losses through laminated
cores, supporting high-efficiency operation, and enabling reliable propulsion in diesel-electric locomotives. The stator is applied
in traction alternators of WAP-7/WAG-9 locos, AC series motors for EMUs/MEMUs, and metro train propulsion systems,
contributing to smooth torque delivery and thermal management per RDSO guidelines.
Machined Stator Assembly
A precisely fabricated stationary core in traction motors and alternators, it integrates laminated steel sheets, copper windings,
and machined housings for magnetic field generation. It ensures efficient power conversion by providing a rigid, vibration-
resistant structure that supports high-speed rotation and thermal stability during prolonged operations. Its utility includes
minimizing electrical losses, enabling precise torque control in VVVF drives, and facilitating easy assembly with rotors for
maintenance efficiency per RDSO protocols. The assembly is applied in propulsion motors of WAG-9 locos, Vande Bharat
EMUs, metro trains, and diesel alternators, enhancing overall system reliability and energy performance across freight,
passenger, and urban rail networks.
Rotors
A rotor in traction motors and alternators features conductive bars or windings that interact with the stator’s magnetic field to
produce torque or generate electricity. It delivers mechanical rotation for propulsion in motors or converts engine speed into
electrical output in alternators, ensuring efficient power transfer under high loads and speeds. Its utility includes high torque
density, reduced un-sprung weight for better ride quality, and durability against centrifugal forces in continuous operations.
226Rotors are applied in three-phase AC induction motors of Vande Bharat trains, WAG-9 locos, EMUs/MEMUs, and metro
propulsion systems, supporting speeds up to 160 kmph per RDSO standards.
Rotor Shaft
A rotor shaft is the central rotating steel component in traction motors and alternators for railways and metro systems, supporting
the rotor core and transmitting torque to gearboxes or pinions. It provides structural integrity under high centrifugal forces and
thermal expansion, enabling reliable power delivery from engine or electrical input to wheel propulsion. Its utility includes
precise alignment for minimal vibration, extended bearing life, and efficient force transmission in high-tractive effort operations
per RDSO specifications.
Wheel Set Guides
Structural and guiding components in bogies that control the movement and alignment of the wheelsets relative to the bogie
frame and track in railway and metro systems. They ensure the axle and wheels stay correctly positioned under dynamic loads,
helping the wheel flanges maintain proper contact with the rails for safe curve negotiation and reduced derailment risk. Their
utility lies in improving ride stability, minimizing wear on wheels and rails, and supporting smooth transmission of traction and
braking forces from motors and gearboxes to the track. Wheel Set guides are applied in powered and trailer bogies of LHB
coaches, Vande Bharat trainsets, freight wagons, and metro rolling stock, where they contribute to consistent tracking
performance and lower maintenance over the vehicle life cycle.
Flexible Gangways
A flexible gangway is a bellows-type accordion connection between adjacent coaches in railways and metro trains, allowing
safe passenger passage while accommodating track curves and vertical movements. It maintains a weatherproof, secure
walkway without gaps. Its utility lies in enhancing passenger comfort, preventing falls between cars, and reducing noise/dust
ingress during high-speed travel up to 160 kmph. Flexible gangways are applied in LHB AC coaches, Vande Bharat trainsets,
Rajdhani expresses, and metro rakes, improving seamless connectivity and safety.
Motor Suspension Unit
It is a structural assembly in railways locomotives that mounts traction motors to the bogie frame while connecting to the axle
via gearbox. It supports partial motor weight through nose suspension, allowing flexible movement under dynamic loads for
stable propulsion. Its utility includes reducing un-sprung mass for better ride quality, transmitting torque efficiently to wheels,
and accommodating track irregularities in freight operations up to 140 kmph.
Housing
The traction bar (also referred to as a traction link) in electric locomotives is used to transmit tractive and braking forces between
the bogie and the locomotive body. The traction bar housing is a structural component that supports, protects, and guides the
traction bar during operation. The housing provides mounting support for the traction bar and maintains alignment between the
bogie frame and the locomotive underframe. It absorbs and distributes tractive and braking forces, reduces vibration and
mechanical stress, and protects the traction bar from dust, debris, and damage. The housing is a cast structure with a strong and
rigid design to withstand heavy loads and is mounted between the bogie frame and the locomotive underframe.
Piston
Pistons for High Horse Power (HHP) locomotives are primarily used in EMD diesel locomotives, including WDG4, WDP4,
WDP4B, WDP4D and WDG4D, and are designed to withstand high temperature and pressure conditions. These pistons operate
within the engine cylinder and convert energy generated from fuel combustion into mechanical motion, which is transmitted to
the crankshaft through the connecting rod to drive the locomotive. They are critical, high-stress components designed for two-
stroke, turbocharged, 16-cylinder diesel engines and are engineered to perform reliably under demanding operating conditions.
Products for metros:
Platform Screening Doors
Platform screening doors are automated full-height barriers installed at metro stations, separating the platform from live tracks
to prevent falls and intrusions. They feature sliding or pivoting panels synchronized with train doors via PLC controls, using
sensors for precise alignment and emergency overrides. Their utility includes enhancing passenger safety by eliminating
platform-track gaps, reducing air velocity effects, and enabling climate-controlled waiting areas while complying with NBC
fire norms. Platform screening doors are applied in modern Indian metro systems like Delhi Metro, Mumbai Metro, and Kochi
Metro, supporting high-frequency operations and energy-efficient ventilation.
Products for wind energy:
227Wind Generators
A wind generator is the core electrical machine in wind energy production systems that converts rotational mechanical energy
from blades into alternating current electricity. These generators typically feature permanent magnet synchronous or doubly-
fed induction designs with ratings from 2MW for onshore units to more than 15MW for offshore, including direct-drive or
geared configurations, robust nacelle-mounted housings, and advanced cooling systems for continuous operation in harsh
weather. Voltage and frequency are regulated via power converters for grid synchronization, enabling variable speed operation
and maximum energy capture across wind speeds up to 25 m/s. They are applied in onshore wind farms, offshore floating
platforms, hybrid renewable plants, and repowering projects, delivering reliable, low-maintenance power generation with high
efficiency and grid compliance standards.

Our Competition
In the railway and metro rail component manufacturing industry, our Company encounters competition from well-established
entities operating in both domestic and international arenas. Leading manufacturers such as Titagarh Rail Systems Limited,
Bharat Forge Limited, ABB India Limited, BEML Limited, Siemens Limited, and CG Power and Industrial Solutions Limited,
and Hind Rectifiers Limited boast robust production capacities and expedited lead times, rendering them significant challengers.
Although our Company leverages cost-competitive labour, securing a distinct advantage over these dominant players
necessitates ongoing investments in innovation and operational optimization (Source: 1Lattice Report).
Beyond international rivals, substantial competition arises from indigenous Indian suppliers. The proliferation of these local
producers heightens market intensity, as they frequently target analogous customer bases and pricing strategies. Nevertheless,
formidable entry barriers within the sector impede new entrants from achieving viable scale and securing a sustainable position.
Moreover, in the renewable energy domain, particularly, the wind generator industry, witnesses fierce rivalry among entrenched
Indian and international firms. Our Company is proactively bolstering its footprint in these expanding segments, capitalizing
on its technical proficiency and established quality credentials. As we address these competitive pressures, our Company
remains steadfast in pursuing strategic allocations toward technological advancements and product innovation, thereby
distinguishing our portfolio and fortifying market positioning against both domestic and global adversaries. For additional
insights, refer to “Industry Overview” on page 131.

Notes to the restated consolidated financial information

2.4 Basis of consolidation
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:
a)has power over the investee
b)is exposed to, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
c)has the ability to use its power 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:
a)The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
b)Rights arising from other contractual arrangements;
c)The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights; and
d) The size of the Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of
the other voting rights holders.
The Group reassess 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 listed above. Consolidation of subsidiaries
begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the
subsidiaries. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are
included in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income from
the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Consolidation procedure:
Subsidiary:
a) Combine items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with
those of its subsidiaries. For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiaries are based on
the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognized in the restated consolidated financial
information at the acquisition date.
b) Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the
parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary. Business combinations policy explains how to
account for any related goodwill
c) Eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating
to transactions between entities of the Group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup
transactions that are recognized in assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, are eliminated in
full). Intragroup losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the restated
consolidated financial information. Ind As 12 Income Taxes applies to temporary differences that
arise from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions
d) The interest of non-controlling shareholders is initially measured either at fair value or at the
noncontrolling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice

(Formerly known as Pioneer Fil-Med Private Limited)
CIN: U30200DL1997PLC091144
Notes to the restated consolidated financial information
(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition,
the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial
recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity of
subsidiaries.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the
Group and to the non-controlling interests. The total comprehensive income of subsidiary is attributed to
the owners of the Group and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling
interests having a deficit balance.
Joint venture:
a) The Group’s investments in its joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. Under the
equity method, the investment in its joint venture is initially recognized at cost. Goodwill relating
to its joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for
impairment individually. The statement of profit and loss reflects the Group’s share of the results
of operations of its joint ventures The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of its joint
venture is shown on the face of the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
b) If an entity’s share of losses of joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in its joint venture
(which includes any long term interest that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment
in its joint venture), the entity discontinues recognising its share of further losses.
c) Upon loss of significant influence over its joint venture, the Group measures and recognizes any
retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate
upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from
disposal is recognized in profit or loss.
2.5 Current vs non-current classifications
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements based on current / non-
current classification.
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a) it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Group normal operating
cycle.
b)it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c)it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date; or
d)it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for
at least 12 months after the reporting date.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a)it is expected to be settled in the Group’s normal operating cycle;
b)it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

(Formerly known as Pioneer Fil-Med Private Limited)

Notes to the restated consolidated financial information
(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
c) it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or the Group does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms
of liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity
instruments do not affect its classification.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in
cash and cash equivalents.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current only.
2.6 Use of estimates, assumptions and judgements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management
to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the period.
Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances
surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in
the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements.
2.7 Fair value measurement
Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Group require the measurement of fair values, for both
financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The
valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments.
Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the
valuation techniques as follows:
-Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as
possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of
the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of
the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

Notes to the restated consolidated financial information
(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
2.8 Business combination
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred
in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date
fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners
of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree.
Acquisition related costs are recognized in restated consolidated statement of profit and loss as incurred
at the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their
fair value at the acquisition date.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any
noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest
in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and
the liabilities assumed. Where the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities exceed the cost of
acquisition, after re-assessing the fair values of the net assets and contingent liabilities, the excess is
recognised as capital reserve on consolidation.
2.9 Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred
and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held over the net
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess
of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of
the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the
amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair
value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in
OCI and accumulated in equity as capital reserve. However, if there is no clear evidence of bargain
purchase, the entity recognizes the gain directly in equity as capital reserve, without routing the same
through OCI.
Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purposes of impairment
testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units or Group’s of cash-generating
units that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more
frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying
amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the
carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized in the Restated
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in
subsequent periods.
2.10 Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue for sale of products mainly comprises of brake discs, air filters and other railway equipment.
Revenue is recognized at point of time when the control of the same is transferred to the customer and it
is probable that the Group will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for the exchanged goods.

(Formerly known as Pioneer Fil-Med Private Limited)
CIN: U30200DL1997PLC091144
Notes to the restated consolidated financial information
(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
The point at which control passes is determined based on the terms and conditions by each customer
arrangement.
Sale of Services
Revenue from service contracts are recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
Where the contracts include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each
performance obligation based on the standalone selling price and revenue is recognized at point in time
on fulfillment of respective performance obligation. In case, the service contracts include one performance
obligation revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as
proportion of the total services to be provided. This is determined based on the actual expenditure incurred
to the total estimated cost. Revenue from services rendered is recognized as the services are rendered and
is booked based on agreement / arrangements with the concerned parties.
Revenue from construction/project related activity
Contract revenue is recognized over time to the extent of performance obligation satisfied and control is
transferred to the customer. Contract revenue is recognized at allocable transaction price which represents
the cost of work performed on the contract plus proportionate margin, using the percentage of completion
method. Percentage of completion is the proportion of cost of work performed to-date, to the total
estimated contract costs. With respect to contracts, where the outcome of the performance obligation
cannot be reasonably measured, but the costs incurred towards satisfaction of performance obligation are
expected to be recovered, the revenue is recognized only to the extent of costs incurred.
Revenue from operation and maintenance
Revenue from operation & maintenance is recognized as the proportion of the total period of services
contract that has elapsed at the end of the reporting period.
Contract balances
(i) Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has
received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before
the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment
is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when
the Group performs under the contract.
(ii) Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i .e., only
the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
(iii) Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to customer. If
the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration
or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration that is conditional.

2.11 Other income
Interest Income from bank deposits:
Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis by reference to the principal outstanding and the
effective interest rate.
Rental income
Rental income arising from operating leases is accounted for on a straight- line basis over the lease terms
and is included in other income in the statement of profit or loss due to its non-operating nature.
Dividend income
Dividends are recognized in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is
probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group, and the amount
of the dividend can be measured reliably.
Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive arises and it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
2.12 Property, plant and equipment
i)Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses if any, cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its
purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts
and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use
and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Capital work- in- progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation / under
development as at the balance sheet date.
ii)Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the
item can be measured reliably. All other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and
maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statements of profit and loss for
the period during which such expenses are incurred.
iii)Depreciation and useful lives
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the written down value method (WDV)
over the estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment which coincide with Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013. Estimated useful life of the assets is given below:
Tangible assets Useful life
Plant and equipment 8-15 Years
Furniture and fixtures 10 Years
Office equipment 5 Years
Computers 3 Years

iv)Gain and loss on disposal of item of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant rind equipment are eliminated from consolidated financial statements, either on disposal
or when retired from active use. Losses/gains arising in case retirement/disposals of property, plant and
equipment are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year of occurrence.
v)Residual values
The Group reviews the residual value, useful lives and depreciation method annually and, if expectations
differ from previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate on a
prospective basis.
2.13 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
a) Raw materials, components, stores, spares and loose tools: cost includes cost of purchase and
other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is
determined on cost is determined on ‘First in First Out’ (“FIFO”) method.
b) Cost of finished goods include cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of
manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing
costs. Cost is determined on ‘First in First Out’ (“FIFO”) method.
c) Cost of traded goods include purchase cost and inward freight. Costs are determined on ‘First
in First Out’ (“FIFO”) method.
Assessment of net realizable value is made at each reporting period end and when the circumstances that
previously caused inventories to be written-down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear
evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the write-
down, if any, in the past period is reversed to the extent of the original amount written-down so that the
resultant carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the revised net realizable value.
2.14 Financial instruments
Financial assets and/or financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes party to a contract
embodying the related financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities and financial
guarantee contracts are initially measured at fair value excepting for trade receivables not containing a
significant financing component are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets
and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from as the case may
be, the fair value of such financial assets or liabilities, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
are recognized in profit or loss.

(Formerly known as Pioneer Fil-Med Private Limited)
CIN: U30200DL1997PLC091144
Notes to the restated consolidated financial information
(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
A financial asset and a financial liability are offset and presented on net basis in the balance sheet when
there is a current legally enforceable right to set-off the recognized amounts and it is intended to either
settle on net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is described below.
I. Financial assets Classification and subsequent measurement for the purpose of subsequent
measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:
(i)Financial assets at amortized cost – a financial instrument is measured at amortized 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. After initial measurement, such
financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
(ii)Financial assets at fair value
Investments in equity instruments – All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair
value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at fair value through profit and loss
('FVTPL"). For all other equity instruments, the Group decides to classify the same either as at fair value
through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") or FVTPL. The Group makes such election on an
instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Group decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the
instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from
OCI to profit or loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Group may transfer the cumulative gain
or loss within equity. Dividends on such investments are recognized in profit or loss unless the dividend
clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes
recognized in the profit or loss.
De-recognition of financial assets
Financial assets (or where applicable, a part of financial asset or part of a Group of similar financial assets)
are derecognised from the statement of Assets and Liabilities when the contractual rights to receive the
cash flows from the financial asset have expired, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks
and rewards are transferred. The Group also derecognizes the financial asset if it has both transferred the
financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition.
II.Financial liabilities
Initial recognition
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is
classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at
fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in statement of profit
and loss.

(Formerly known as Pioneer Fil-Med Private Limited)
CIN: U30200DL1997PLC091144
Notes to the restated consolidated financial information
(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, the financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest rate ("EIR") method.
Amortized cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that
are an integral part of the EIR. The effect of EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement
of profit and loss.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially
different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or
modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.
The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
III. Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group uses ‘Expected Credit Loss’ (ECL) model, for evaluating
impairment of financial assets other than those measured at FVTPL.
Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:
• The 12-months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on
the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or
• Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events
over the life of the financial instrument)
Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Group periodically assesses the
financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends,
and analysis of historical data and ageing of accounts receivable. The Group creates allowance for
unsecured receivables based on historical credit loss experience, industry practice and business
environment in which the entity operates and is adjusted for forward looking information. Subsequently
when the Group is satisfied that no recovery of such losses is possible, the financial asset is considered
irrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is then written off against the carrying
amount of the impaired financial asset.
IV. Impairment of non-financial assets
As at the end of each financial year, the carrying amounts of PPE, investment property and intangible
assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an
impairment loss. If such indication exists, PPE, investment property and intangible assets are tested for
impairment so as to determine the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill is tested for impairment each year.
Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is determined:
(i)in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value-
in-use; and
307Pioneer Fil-Med Limited
(Formerly known as Pioneer Fil-Med Private Limited)
CIN: U30200DL1997PLC091144
Notes to the restated consolidated financial information
(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
(ii) in the case of a cash generating unit (the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates
independent cash flows), at the higher of the cash generating unit’s fair value less costs of disposal and
the value-in-use. (The amount of value-in-use is determined as the present value of estimated future
cash flows from the continuing use of an asset, which may vary based on the future performance of the
Group and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. For this purpose, the discount rate (post-tax) is
determined based on the weighted average cost of capital of the Group suitably adjusted for risks
specified to the estimated cash flows of the asset). If recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating
unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, such deficit is recognized immediately in the
Statement of Profit and Loss as impairment loss and the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating
unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. When an impairment loss recognized earlier is subject to full
or partial reversal, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit), except impairment loss
allocated to goodwill, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the
increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had
no impairment loss is recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an
impairment loss (other than impairment loss allocated to goodwill) is recognized immediately in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.
De-recognition of financial instruments
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial
asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de-recognition under Ind AS
109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognised from the Group’s balance
sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
V. Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the
liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
2.15 Provisions, contingent liabilities & contingent assets
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of
past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 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 risk specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in
the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
(i) Warranties
Provisions for warranty related costs are recognized when the product is sold. Initial
recognition is based on historical experience i.e. claims received up to the year end and the
Management’s estimate of further liability to be incurred in this regard during the warranty
period, computed on the basis of past trend of such claims. The initial estimate of warranty
related costs is revised annually.

Notes to the restated consolidated financial information
(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
(ii) Liquidated Damages
Liquidated damages on supply of materials are provided based on the contractual obligations,
deduction made by the customers, as the case may be based on Management’s best estimate
of the expenditure required to settle the obligations.
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the
existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the Group or a present obligation that arises from past
events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable
estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent assets
A contingent asset is not recognized unless it becomes virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits
will arise. When an inflow of economic benefits is probable, contingent assets are disclosed in the
consolidated financial statements.
Onerous contract
Provision for onerous contracts. i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable cost of meeting the
obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are
recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required
to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event based on a reliable estimate of such
obligation.
2.16 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash & Cash Equivalents in the comprise cash at banks and cash on 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.
2.17 Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or
payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated.
Certain arrangements entered with financiers have been classified as borrowings by the Group. The Group
presents cash outflows to settle the liability arising from financing activities in its statement of cash flows.
2.18 Share capital
Financial instruments issued by the Group are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet
the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Group's ordinary shares are classified as equity
instruments.
2.19 Income tax
Current 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
309Pioneer Fil-Med Limited
(Formerly known as Pioneer Fil-Med Private Limited)
CIN: U30200DL1997PLC091144
Notes to the restated consolidated financial information
(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates
taxable income. Current income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside
profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) or in equity). Current tax items are
recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax
regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provision where appropriate
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the Consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of
taxable profit under Income-tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward
of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the
carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred
tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent
that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when
the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either
in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the
underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and
the same taxation authority.
2.20 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part
of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing
of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the
borrowing costs.

(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
2.21 Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic Earnings Per Share ('EPS') is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity share outstanding during the year. The weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for treasury shares.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit by the weighted average number of
equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of
equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive
potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the year, unless issued at a later date.
In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either
reduces earnings per share or increases loss per share are included.
2.22 Segment reporting
The Group is engaged in the manufacturing of rail equipments and has only reportable segment in
accordance with IND AS-108 'Operating Segment'. The Statement relating to this operating segment is
reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated and to
assess its performance. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in the segment and are as set out in
the material accounting policies.
2.23 Employee benefits
i. Short term employee benefits
Employee benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, bonus, ex-gratia and
performance-linked rewards falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are
classified as short-term employee benefits and are expensed in the period in which the employee
renders the service
ii. Post-employment benefits
a) Provident fund
The Group’s state governed provident fund scheme, employee state insurance scheme and employee
pension scheme are defined contribution plans. The contribution paid/payable under the schemes is
recognized during the period in which the employee renders the service. The Group has no obligation,
other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. If the contribution payable to the scheme
for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit
payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the
contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet
date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example,
a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.

b)Defined benefits plan
Gratuity
The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the 'Gratuity Plan") covering eligible
employees in accordance with the payment of gratuity Act, 1972. Gratuity liability is a defined benefit
obligation and is provided on the basis of its actuarial valuation based on the projected unit credit
method made at each balance sheet date.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding
amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets
(excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognized
immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through
OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in
subsequent periods.
Short-term and other long-term employee benefits
The Group records all short-term obligations for such compensated absences as well as performance bonus
on the basis of amount paid in the period during which the services are rendered by the employees, all
such expenses are recognize in the period in which they actually arise.
2.24 Foreign currency transactions and balances:
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group at its functional currency spot rates
at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. However, for practical reasons, the Group uses
an average rate if the average approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency
at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at the fair
value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair
value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a
foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of transaction.
2.25 Leases
Identifying leases
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is or contains a lease. That is, if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Lease contracts entered by the Group majorly pertains for premises and equipment taken on lease to
conduct its business in the ordinary course.
Group as a lessee
The Group had adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases” using the modified retrospective approach by applying the
standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. The Group also elected to use the recognition
exemption for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of twelve months or less
and do not contain a purchase option (“short-term leases”) and lease contracts for which the underlying
asset is of low value other than land. (“low value assets”). The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make
lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

(Formerly known as Pioneer Fil-Med Private Limited)
CIN: U30200DL1997PLC091144
Notes to the restated consolidated financial information
(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
Right-of-use assets
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the
underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of
right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and
lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-
use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful
lives of the assets.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in "Impairment of
non-financial assets".
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present
value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments
(including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that
depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease
payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the
Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising
the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized
as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition
that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the
lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After
the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and
reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if
there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future
payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change
in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group has applied the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases
that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase
option) and low-value assets recognition exemption.
2.26 Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies
When preparing the consolidated financial statement, management makes a number of judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses
Income tax and deferred tax assets
The Group uses estimates and judgements based on the relevant rulings in the areas of allocation of
revenue, costs, allowances and disallowances which is exercised while determining the provision for

(Formerly known as Pioneer Fil-Med Private Limited)
CIN: U30200DL1997PLC091144
Notes to the restated consolidated financial information
(All amounts are in Rs. million, unless otherwise stated)
income tax. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit
will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized.
Accordingly, the Group exercises its judgement to reassess the carrying amount of deferred tax assets
at the end of each reporting period.
Useful lives of depreciable assets
The Group reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period.
This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.
Actuarial valuation
The determination of Group’s liability towards defined benefit obligation to employees is made
through independent actuarial valuation including determination of amounts to be recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss and in other comprehensive income. Such valuation depend upon
assumptions determined after taking into account discount rate, salary growth rate, expected rate of
return, mortality and attrition rate. Statement about such valuation is provided in notes to the
consolidated financial statement.
Impairment of non-financial assets
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-
generating units based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them.
Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of
a suitable discount rate.
Litigations, Claims and Contingencies
Management judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect
of contingencies/ claim/ litigation against Group as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending
matters with accuracy.
Warranties and Liquidated Damages
The Group’s product warranty obligations and estimations thereof are determined using historical
information of claims received up to the year end and the management’s estimate of further liability
to be incurred in this regard during the warranty period, computed on the basis of past trend of such
claims. Liquidated damages on supply of products are provided based on the contractual obligations
or deduction made by the customers considering the current situation and status of the project, the
reasons for delays and past experience with the customers. Changes in estimated frequency and
amount of future warranty claims / liquidated damages, can materially affect warranty / liquidated
damage expenses.
Revenue recognition
For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the
progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. The progress is measured in terms

of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the
performance obligation.
2.27 Recent accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting standards
a)Amendment to Accounting Standards (Ind AS) issued but not yet effective
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notifies new standards or amendment to existing standards under
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. There is amendment to ‘Ind
AS 1 - Classification of Liabilities’ and certain provisions (e.g., paragraphs 74, 75, 75A, and 76) will be
applicable from April 01, 2026.
b)Standards issued/amended and became effective
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards
under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. During the six months
period ended September 30, 2025, and upto the date of issuance of consolidated financial statements,
MCA has amends following Ind AS:
Ind AS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
Ind AS 101 - First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards
Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107 - Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements
Ind AS 12 - International tax reform—Pillar Two model rules
The amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2025. The Group has
evaluated the amendments and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any impact in
its consolidated financial statements.

the period/year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period/year is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in the right issue, share split and
reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity share outstanding, without corresponding change in resources.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the equity shares by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period/year plus the weighted number
of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.
The following is a reconciliation of the equity shares used in the computation of the basic and diluted earning per equity share

39.2Fair Value Hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair value of financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair
values are disclosed in the financial statements. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
Level 1: This level includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: This level includes financial assets and liabilities, measured using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or
indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3: This level includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part, using a valuation
model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.
The Group does not have any financial assets or financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value.
39.3Financial instrument- fair values and risk management (continued)
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) being the Board of Directors (Board) has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group risk management framework. Board of Directors
regularly reviews the changes in the market conditions, management policies and procedures and the adequacy of risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The framework seeks to
identify, asses and mitigate financial risk in order to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.
In the course of its business, the Group is exposed primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, liquidity and credit risk, which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial
instruments.
The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
1) Market risk
2) Credit risk
3) Liquidity risk
This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group's management of capital.
1) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values, or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates) or in the
price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices.
Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables, and all short-term and long-term debt. The Group is exposed to market risk primarily related
to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and the market value of its investments. Thus, the Group’s exposure to market risk is a function of its investing and borrowing activities as well as revenue-generating
and operating activities in foreign currencies.
A. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest
rates relates primarily to the Group’s debt obligations with floating interest rates. The interest rate risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market interest rate of these borrowings. The Group has following
variable and fixed interest rate borrowings as at end of reporting periods:

Interest rate sensitivity - variable rate instruments
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for financial instruments at the end of the reporting year and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the
financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have
increased /(decreased) profit /loss by the amounts as under:

As at March 31, 2023 (0.95) 0.95
B. Foreign currency risk
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows
where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.
The summary quantitative data about the Group’s unhedged exposure to currency risk as reported to the management is as follows.

The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments. Since the Group does not have any investment in mutual fund or equity investment the Group is not exposed to any
significant price risk.

2) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk
of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. Credit risk is controlled by analysing credit limits and creditworthiness of customers on a continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted
after obtaining necessary approvals for credit. Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other financial
assets
A. Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit
review and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Trade receivables generally on terms of 60-90 days.
At the year end the Group does not have any significant concentrations of bad debt risk.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The calculation is based on historical data. The Group does not hold collateral as security. The Group evaluates the
concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent markets.
Most of the sales are made to government customers like Indian Railways. For private customers, the Group evaluates the creditworthiness based on publicly available financial information and the Group historical
experiences. The Group’s major customers includes public sector undertakings. Accordingly, the Group’s customer credit risk is low. The Group exposure to its counterparties are continuously reviewed and
monitored by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) being the Board of Directors (Board). Credit period varies as per the contractual terms with the customers. Group doesn’t have financing component in
the contracts with customers.
Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet
contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Group’s performance to developments affecting a particular
industry. The Group is a manufacturer of Railway Equipments and one customer of the Group individually accounted for more than 70% of the outstanding trade receivable as at September 30, 2025 (March 31,
2025: One customer, March 31, 2024 : One customer, and March 31, 2023 : One customer).
Expected credit loss under simplified approach for trade receivables:

Net carrying value 237.75 312.83 291.80 201.08
B. Financial instruments and cash deposits
Credit risk is limited as the Group generally invests in deposits with banks with high credit rating assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Counter party credit limits are reviewed by the Group
periodically and the limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty’s potential failure to make payment.
3) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are proposed to be settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Group’s
financial planning has ensured, as far as possible, that there is sufficient liquidity to meet the liabilities whenever due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking
damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group regularly monitors the rolling forecasts to ensure it has sufficient cash on an ongoing basis to meet operational needs. Any short-term surplus cash generated, over and above the amount required for
working capital management and other operational requirements, is retained as cash and cash equivalents (to the extent required), and any excess is invested in interest-bearing term deposits with appropriate
maturities to optimise the cash returns on investments while ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities.
The following table shows the maturity analysis of the Group’s financial liabilities based on contractually agreed undiscounted cash flows along with its carrying value as at September 30, 2025, March 31, 2025,

40Segment reporting
Basis for Segmentation
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision
maker in deciding how to allocate resource and assessing performance.
According to Ind AS 108, identification of operating segments is based on Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) approach for making decisions about allocating resources
to the segment and assessing its performance. Based on the consideration of dominant sources and nature of risk & returns, the Group is considered a Rail equipments
manufacturer. Most of the activities are revolving around this business and accordingly has only one reportable segment. The geographical location of its main operations,
internal organization/ reporting and management structure supports such treatment.
Other information
The Group is a manufacturer of railway equipment and revenue from one customer (various railway units) accounted for more than 10% of the total revenue as at September
30, 2025 (March 31, 2025: one Customer, March 31, 2024 : One customer, and March 31, 2023 : One customer). Revenue from the customer amounted to Rs. 1475.73 million
for the six months period ended September 30, 2025 (March 31, 2025: 3092.20 million, March 31, 2024: 2247.02 million and March 31, 2023: 743.15 million)

41 Capital Management
Capital includes equity share capital and other equity attributable to the equity holders of the Group. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to
ensure that it maintains an efficient capital structure and maximise the shareholder’s value. In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group’s capital
management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure
requirements. The Group has complied with those covenants throughout the reporting period.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To
maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group
monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total equity net debt. The Group includes within net debt, long-term and short-term loans and
borrowings (including current maturities of long-term borrowings) and lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and bank balances.

Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in the financial statement as at the date of
transition to Ind AS, measured as per previous GAAP and used that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustment for decommissioning liabilities.
Accordingly, the Group has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment at their previous GAAP carrying value as at transition date April 01, 2022.
(b)Investment in joint venture
Under previous GAAP, joint ventures were classified as subsidiaries and accordingly accounted for using the line by line method at the time of consolidation. Based on an assessment under
Ind AS 111 "Joint Arrangements", these have been accounted as jointly controlled operations using the equity accounting method. The assessment is based on the fact that there is a
contractual arrangement that indicate that the parties to the joint ventures have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the joint arrangement.
The Group has elected to carry its investment in its joint venture at deemed cost being carrying amount under previous GAAP on the transition date.

(ii)Adjustment for business combination
The Group held an investment in Pioneer Rail Equipments Private Limited representing 49% equity interest, which was classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method
of accounting. On November 04, 2022, the Group acquired an additional 27% equity interest, pursuant to which Pioneer Rail Equipments Private Limited became a subsidiary of the Group
with effect from November 04, 2022 and has been consolidated thereafter.
The acquisition was required to be accounted for as a step acquisition in accordance with the acquisition method prescribed under Ind AS 103 – Business Combinations, whereby the
previously held equity interest is required to be remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date and the resulting gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
During the current period, while preparing the restated consolidated financial information in accordance with Ind AS, the Management identified and corrected the following material errors in
the accounting for the step acquisition as at and for the year ended March 31, 2023:
(a) Correction of error in remeasurement of previously held equity interest
On acquisition of control, the previously held 49% equity interest in Pioneer Rail Equipments Private Limited was not remeasured at fair value in the audited consolidated financial statements
prepared under the previous accounting framework. In accordance with Ind AS 103, such previously held equity interest is required to be remeasured at fair value on the acquisition date.
Accordingly, the investment has been remeasured at its fair value in the Consolidated Restated Financial Information and the resultant difference has been recognised in profit or loss.
(b) Correction of error in recognition of bargain purchase gain
Consequent to the fair value remeasurement of the previously held equity interest and determination of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, the excess of the fair value of net assets
acquired over the total purchase consideration paid has been recognised as gain on bargain purchase. Such gain was either not appropriately recognised or was incorrectly measured in the
audited consolidated financial statements and has been corrected in the restated consolidated financial information.
The above corrections have been made in accordance with Ind AS 101 – First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. The Group has applied the optional exemption relating to
business combinations as specified in paragraph C1 of Ind AS 101 and, accordingly, business combinations occurring prior to the date of transition to Ind AS have not been restated.
However, since the acquisition of control over Pioneer Rail Equipments Private Limited occurred after the date of transition, the transaction has been accounted for in accordance with Ind AS
103 and the subsidiary has been consolidated from the acquisition date in accordance with Ind AS 110.

(iv)Deferred tax
The Group has recognised deferred tax assets (net) on Provisions for doubtful debts other temporary difference on account of rectification of prior period errors and on account of
adjustments made on transition to Ind AS.
Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12
requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance
sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under Indian GAAP. In
addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, the group has to account for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments
are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or a separate component of equity.
(v)Explanatory notes for prior period adjustments
Under its Previous GAAP, the Group identified certain errors relating to the cut-off of revenue, valuation of inventory and year-end purchases, errors in depreciation calculations, incorrect
recognition of other income, recognition of certain expenses in incorrect accounting periods, non-recognition of warranty provisions, and the estimation of long-term employee benefits based
on actuarial valuation, which had been erroneously omitted or incorrectly accounted for in prior periods. Accordingly, adjustments have been made to the affected financial statement line
items of prior years. These adjustments represent the correction of errors and are not the result of a change in accounting policy.
Further, under Previous GAAP, revenue was recognised when the seller transferred the property in goods. In accordance with Ind AS 115, revenue is recognised when the Company satisfies a
performance obligation by transferring the promised goods or services to customers. The transition to Ind AS has required alignment of revenue recognition principles with the performance-
obligation-based model prescribed under Ind AS.
(vi)Material regrouping:
Appropriate regroupings have been made in the restated consolidated balance sheet, restated consolidated statement of profit & loss and restated consolidated statement of cashflows,
wherever required, by reclassification of the corresponding items of income, expenses, assets, liabilities and cashflows, in order to bring them in line with the accounting policies and
classification as per Ind AS financial information of the Company for the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023

Significant Factors Affecting Our Results Of Operations And Financial Condition
Our results of operations and financial condition has been and may continue to be affected by a number of significant factors,
including the following:
369Dependency on railways and other government entities
Our business and revenues are substantially dependent on the policies of the Ministry of Railways (MoR), Government of India,
and other government-run entities such as various metro rail corporations. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from
our role as a leading manufacturer and supplier of traction systems and critical components for locomotive applications in India.
The table below sets out details of revenue from operations of our Company across the sale of locomotive equipment, other
railway products and metros, and the sale of wind generators.

As on the date of this DRHP, we are Category-I approved suppliers of traction alternators, HHP 4500 diesel traction motors,
6000 HP electric traction motors, and brake discs for railways (Source: 1Lattice Report).
Our business benefits from the continued investments by the government in locomotive modernisation and the expansion of
metro rail networks across major cities. Consequently, our operations are directly influenced by government spending,
budgetary allocations, and strategic priorities for railway infrastructure. Any adverse change in these policies, a reduction in
capital expenditure on rail electrification and modernisation, or a withdrawal of programmes beneficial to private sector
participation could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Cost and Availability of Raw Materials
The primary raw materials and purchased components are a major component of our overall revenue expenditure. The cost of
materials consumed represents a significant percentage of our revenue from operations. We source our raw materials from both
domestic and international suppliers. The below table details the breakup of our total of Purchase of raw materials from domestic
and international suppliers for the period indicated:

The supply and pricing of these materials can be volatile due to a number of factors beyond our control, including global demand
and supply, general economic and political conditions, tariffs, transportation costs, and currency exchange rates. We may not
have long-term agreements with our suppliers, and any discontinuation of supply or failure by suppliers to adhere to delivery
schedules or quality standards could hamper our production and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Competition
We face competition from well-established entities in both domestic and international markets across our business segments.
In the railway and metro rail component industry, we compete with other indigenous Indian suppliers as well as leading
international manufacturers. With the liberalisation of the Indian economy, the Government has encouraged competitive
bidding, which may impact pricing and profitability.
Furthermore, our recent diversification into the renewable energy sector, particularly the wind turbine generator industry,
exposes us to fierce rivalry from entrenched Indian and international firms. While the rigorous testing and validation processes
required by rail operators create significant barriers to entry for new players, our ability to compete effectively on technology,
quality, and cost will be crucial to maintaining and growing our market share.
Ability to Adapt to Technological Developments and Innovate
Our business is driven by technological innovation, with a strong emphasis on product development and process engineering
to meet the evolving needs of the railway industry. Our future success depends on our ability to continuously improve and
upgrade our systems and infrastructure to offer enhanced services and functionality.
We proactively integrate emerging technologies, such as advanced automation and digital monitoring systems, to enhance
operational efficiency and quality. A failure to adapt to such developments, or an inability to develop and introduce new
products in line with industry trends in rail electrification, automation, and renewable energy, could harm our business. Our
ability to maintain our R&D focus and successfully develop new products, such as those in our current pipeline, is critical to
our continued growth.

2.4 Basis of consolidation
Control is achieved when our Company 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, our Company controls an investee if and
only if our Company has:
a) has power over the investee
b) is exposed to, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when our
Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, our Company considers all relevant facts and
circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
a) The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
b) Rights arising from other contractual arrangements;
c) Our Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights; and
d) The size of our Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of the other
voting rights holders.
Our Company reassess 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 listed above. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins when our Company obtains control
over the subsidiary and ceases when our Company loses control of the subsidiaries. Specifically, income and expenses of a
subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss and
other comprehensive income from the date our Company gains control until the date when our Company ceases to control the
subsidiary.
Consolidation procedure:
Subsidiary:
a) Combine items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiaries.
For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiaries are based on the amounts of the assets and liabilities
recognized in the restated consolidated financial information at the acquisition date.
b) Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity
of each subsidiary. Business combinations policy explains how to account for any related goodwill
373c) Eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions
between entities of our Company (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognized in assets,
such as inventory and fixed assets, are eliminated in full). Intragroup losses may indicate an impairment that requires
recognition in the restated consolidated financial information. Ind As 12 Income Taxes applies to temporary
differences that arise from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions
d) The interest of non-controlling shareholders is initially measured either at fair value or at the noncontrolling interests’
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an
acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the
amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity
of subsidiaries.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of our Company and to the non-
controlling interests. The total comprehensive income of subsidiary is attributed to the owners of our Company and to the non-
controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Joint venture:
a) Our Company’s investments in its joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method,
the investment in its joint venture is initially recognized at cost. Goodwill relating to its joint venture is included in the
carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment individually. The statement of profit and loss
reflects our Company’s share of the results of operations of its joint ventures The aggregate of our Company’s share
of profit or loss of its joint venture is shown on the face of the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
b) If an entity’s share of losses of joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in its joint venture (which includes any long
term interest that, in substance, form part of our Company’s net investment in its joint venture), the entity discontinues
recognising its share of further losses.
c) Upon loss of significant influence over its joint venture, our Company measures and recognizes any retained
investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant
influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.
2.5 Current vs non-current classifications
Our Company presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements based on current / non-current
classification.
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a) it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, our Company normal operating cycle.
b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c) it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date; or
d) it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12
months after the reporting date.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a) it is expected to be settled in our Company’s normal operating cycle;
b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c) it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or our Company does not have an unconditional right
to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms of liability that could, at the
option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current only.
3742.6 Use of estimates, assumptions and judgements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates,
judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes
in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in
estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their
effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
2.7 Fair value measurement
Certain accounting policies and disclosures of our Company require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-
financial assets and liabilities.
Our Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The valuation team
regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments.
Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as
follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, our Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the
inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair
value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is
significant to the entire measurement.
2.8 Business combination
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business
combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred
by our Company, liabilities incurred by our Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by
our Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition related costs are recognized in restated consolidated statement
of profit and loss as incurred at the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognized
at their fair value at the acquisition date.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interests in
the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the
acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Where the fair value of the identifiable
assets and liabilities exceed the cost of acquisition, after re-assessing the fair values of the net assets and contingent liabilities,
the excess is recognised as capital reserve on consolidation.
2.9 Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount
recognized for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, our Company re-
assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures
used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair
value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in OCI and accumulated
in equity as capital reserve. However, if there is no clear evidence of bargain purchase, the entity recognizes the gain directly
in equity as capital reserve, without routing the same through OCI.
Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is
allocated to each of our Company's cash-generating units or Company’s of cash-generating units that is expected to benefit
from the synergies of the combination.
375A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there
is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount,
the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other
assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized
in the Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in
subsequent periods.
2.10 Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue for sale of products mainly comprises of brake discs, air filters and other railway equipment. Revenue is recognized
at point of time when the control of the same is transferred to the customer and it is probable that our Company will collect the
consideration to which it is entitled for the exchanged goods. The point at which control passes is determined based on the
terms and conditions by each customer arrangement.
Sale of Services
Revenue from service contracts are recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. Where the contracts
include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the
standalone selling price and revenue is recognized at point in time on fulfillment of respective performance obligation. In case,
the service contracts include one performance obligation revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end
of the reporting period as proportion of the total services to be provided. This is determined based on the actual expenditure
incurred to the total estimated cost. Revenue from services rendered is recognized as the services are rendered and is booked
based on agreement / arrangements with the concerned parties.
Revenue from construction/project related activity
Contract revenue is recognized over time to the extent of performance obligation satisfied and control is transferred to the
customer. Contract revenue is recognized at allocable transaction price which represents the cost of work performed on the
contract plus proportionate margin, using the percentage of completion method. Percentage of completion is the proportion of
cost of work performed to-date, to the total estimated contract costs. With respect to contracts, where the outcome of the
performance obligation cannot be reasonably measured, but the costs incurred towards satisfaction of performance obligation
are expected to be recovered, the revenue is recognized only to the extent of costs incurred.
Revenue from operation and maintenance
Revenue from operation & maintenance is recognized as the proportion of the total period of services contract that has elapsed
at the end of the reporting period.
Contract balances
(i) Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which our Company has received
consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before our Company transfers goods
or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is
earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when our Company performs under the contract.
(ii) Trade receivables
A receivable represents our Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i .e., only the passage of time
is required before payment of the consideration is due).
(iii) Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to customer. If our Company performs
by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract
asset is recognized for the earned consideration that is conditional.
2.11 Other income
Interest Income from bank deposits:
Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate.
376Rental income
Rental income arising from operating leases is accounted for on a straight- line basis over the lease terms and is included in
other income in the statement of profit or loss due to its non-operating nature.
Dividend income
Dividends are recognized in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic
benefits associated with the dividend will flow to our Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will
flow to our Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
2.12 Property, plant and equipment
i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses
if any, cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable
purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working
condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is
located.
Capital work- in- progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation / under development as at the
balance sheet date.
ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to our Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other
expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are
charged to the statements of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.
iii) Depreciation and useful lives
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the written down value method (WDV) over the estimated
useful life of property, plant and equipment which coincide with Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Estimated useful life
of the assets is given below:
Tangible assets Useful life
Plant and equipment 8-15 Years
Furniture and fixtures 10 Years
Office equipment 5 Years
Computers 3 Years
Motor vehicles 8-10 Years
Building 60 Years
iv) Gain and loss on disposal of item of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant rind equipment are eliminated from consolidated financial statements, either on disposal or when retired from
active use. Losses/gains arising in case retirement/disposals of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the statement
of profit and loss in the year of occurrence.
v) Residual values
Our Company reviews the residual value, useful lives and depreciation method annually and, if expectations differ from
previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate on a prospective basis.
2.13 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
a) Raw materials, components, stores, spares and loose tools: cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on cost is determined on ‘First in
First Out’ (“FIFO”) method.
377b) Cost of finished goods include cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based
on the normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs. Cost is determined on ‘First in First Out’ (“FIFO”)
method.
c) Cost of traded goods include purchase cost and inward freight. Costs are determined on ‘First in First Out’ (“FIFO”)
method.
Assessment of net realizable value is made at each reporting period end and when the circumstances that previously caused
inventories to be written-down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value
because of changed economic circumstances, the write-down, if any, in the past period is reversed to the extent of the original
amount written-down so that the resultant carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the revised net realizable value.
2.14 Financial instruments
Financial assets and/or financial liabilities are recognized when our Company becomes party to a contract embodying the related
financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at fair
value excepting for trade receivables not containing a significant financing component are initially measured at transaction
price. Transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from as the case may be,
the fair value of such financial assets or liabilities, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition
of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss.
A financial asset and a financial liability are offset and presented on net basis in the balance sheet when there is a current legally
enforceable right to set-off the recognized amounts and it is intended to either settle on net basis or to realise the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is described below.
I. Financial assets Classification and subsequent measurement for the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial
assets are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:
(i) Financial assets at amortized cost – a financial instrument is measured at amortized 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. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method.
(ii) Financial assets at fair value
Investments in equity instruments – All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments
which are held for trading are classified as at fair value through profit and loss ('FVTPL"). For all other equity instruments, our
Company decides to classify the same either as at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") or FVTPL. Our
Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is
irrevocable.
If our Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding
dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to profit or loss, even on sale of investment.
However, our Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Dividends on such investments are recognized
in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the profit or
loss.
De-recognition of financial assets
Financial assets (or where applicable, a part of financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) are derecognised
from the statement of Assets and Liabilities when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset have
expired, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. Our Company also derecognizes
the financial asset if it has both transferred the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition.
II. Financial liabilities
378Initial recognition
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it
is classified as held for trading. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any
interest expense, are recognized in statement of profit and loss.
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, the financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate
("EIR") method.
Amortized cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part
of the EIR. The effect of EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement
of profit and loss.
III. Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, our Company uses ‘Expected Credit Loss’ (ECL) model, for evaluating impairment of financial
assets other than those measured at FVTPL.
Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:
• The 12-months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial
instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or
• Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of
the financial instrument)
Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Our Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of
customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical data and ageing of
accounts receivable. Our Company creates allowance for unsecured receivables based on historical credit loss experience,
industry practice and business environment in which the entity operates and is adjusted for forward looking information.
Subsequently when our Company is satisfied that no recovery of such losses is possible, the financial asset is considered
irrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is then written off against the carrying amount of the impaired
financial asset.
IV. Impairment of non-financial assets
As at the end of each financial year, the carrying amounts of PPE, investment property and intangible assets are reviewed to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists, PPE,
investment property and intangible assets are tested for impairment so as to determine the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill is
tested for impairment each year. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable
amount. Recoverable amount is determined:
(i) in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value-in-use; and
(ii) in the case of a cash generating unit (the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates independent cash flows),
at the higher of the cash generating unit’s fair value less costs of disposal and the value-in-use. (The amount of value-
in-use is determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of an asset, which
may vary based on the future performance of our Company and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. For this
purpose, the discount rate (post-tax) is determined based on the weighted average cost of capital of our Company
suitably adjusted for risks specified to the estimated cash flows of the asset). If recoverable amount of an asset (or cash
generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, such deficit is recognized immediately in the Statement
of Profit and Loss as impairment loss and the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to its
recoverable amount. When an impairment loss recognized earlier is subject to full or partial reversal, the carrying
amount of the asset (or cash generating unit), except impairment loss allocated to goodwill, is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
379would have been determined had no impairment loss is recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years.
A reversal of an impairment loss (other than impairment loss allocated to goodwill) is recognized immediately in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.
De-recognition of financial instruments
Our Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it
transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de-recognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a
financial liability) is derecognised from our Company’s balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged
or cancelled or expires.
V. Loans and borrowings
This is the category most relevant to our Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profit and
loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
2.15 Provisions, contingent liabilities & contingent assets
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when our Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 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 risk specific to the liability. When discounting is
used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
(i) Warranties
Provisions for warranty related costs are recognized when the product is sold. Initial recognition is based on historical
experience i.e. claims received up to the year end and the Management’s estimate of further liability to be incurred in this regard
during the warranty period, computed on the basis of past trend of such claims. The initial estimate of warranty related costs is
revised annually.
(ii) Liquidated Damages
Liquidated damages on supply of materials are provided based on the contractual obligations, deduction made by the customers,
as the case may be based on Management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations.
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of
our Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent assets
A contingent asset is not recognized unless it becomes virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise. When an
inflow of economic benefits is probable, contingent assets are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.
Onerous contract
Provision for onerous contracts. i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable cost of meeting the obligations under the contract
exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event based on a reliable
estimate of such obligation.
2.16 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash & Cash Equivalents in the comprise cash at banks and cash on 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.
2.17 Cash flow statement
380Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a
non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities of our Company are segregated. Certain arrangements entered with financiers have been
classified as borrowings by our Company. Our Company presents cash outflows to settle the liability arising from financing
activities in its statement of cash flows.
2.18 Share capital
Financial instruments issued by our Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of
a financial liability or financial asset. Our Company's ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments.
2.19 Income tax
Current tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation
authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the
reporting date in the countries where our Company operates and generates taxable income. Current income tax relating to items
recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) or in equity).
Current tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject
to interpretation and establishes provision where appropriate
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit under Income-tax Act, 1961.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible
temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to
the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the
carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed
at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to
allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date
and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be
recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized
or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive
income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in
equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
2.20 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial
period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs
are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in
connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an
adjustment to the borrowing costs.
2.21 Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic Earnings Per Share ('EPS') is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity share outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year is adjusted for treasury shares.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
381Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit by the weighted average number of equity shares considered
for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of
the year, unless issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and
that either reduces earnings per share or increases loss per share are included.
2.22 Segment reporting
Our Company is engaged in the manufacturing of rail equipments and has only reportable segment in accordance with IND AS-
108 'Operating Segment'. The Statement relating to this operating segment is reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors to
make decisions about resources to be allocated and to assess its performance. The accounting principles used in the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in the segment and are as
set out in the material accounting policies.
2.23 Employee benefits
i. Short term employee benefits
Employee benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, bonus, ex-gratia and performance-linked rewards
falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits and are expensed
in the period in which the employee renders the service
ii. Post-employment benefits
a) Provident fund
Our Company’s state governed provident fund scheme, employee state insurance scheme and employee pension scheme are
defined contribution plans. The contribution paid/payable under the schemes is recognized during the period in which the
employee renders the service. Our Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. If the
contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the
deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already
paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to
the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
b) Defined benefits plan
Gratuity
Our Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the 'Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees in accordance with
the payment of gratuity Act, 1972.Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided on the basis of its actuarial
valuation based on the projected unit credit method made at each balance sheet date.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net
interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net
defined benefit liability), are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained
earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent
periods.
Short-term and other long-term employee benefits
Our Company records all short-term obligation for such compensated absences as well as performance bonus on the basis of
amount paid in the period during which the services are rendered by the employees, all such expenses are recognize in the
period in which they actually arise.
2.24 Foreign currency transactions and balances:
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by our Company at its functional currency spot rates at the date the
transaction first qualifies for recognition. However, for practical reasons, our Company uses an average rate if the average
approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate
at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at the fair value in a foreign currency are translated
into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that
are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of transaction.
3822.25 Leases
Identifying leases
Our Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is or contains a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right
to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lease contracts entered by our
Company majorly pertains for premises and equipment taken on lease to conduct its business in the ordinary course.
Company as a lessee
Our Company had adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases” using the modified retrospective approach by applying the standard to all
leases existing at the date of initial application. Our Company also elected to use the recognition exemption for lease contracts
that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of twelve months or less and do not contain a purchase option (“short-term
leases”) and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value other than land. (“low value assets”). Our Company
recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
Right-of-use assets
Our Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is
available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities
recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives
received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful
lives of the assets.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in "Impairment of non-financial assets".
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, our Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments)
less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid
under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to
be exercised by our Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects our Company
exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses
(unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, our Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement
date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of
lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments
(e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change
in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
Our Company has applied the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease
term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option) and low-value assets recognition
exemption.
2.26 Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies
When preparing the consolidated financial statement, management makes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions
about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses
Income tax and deferred tax assets
Our Company uses estimates and judgements based on the relevant rulings in the areas of allocation of revenue, costs,
allowances and disallowances which is exercised while determining the provision for income tax. A deferred tax asset is
recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences and tax losses can be utilized. Accordingly, our Company exercises its judgement to reassess the carrying amount
of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period.
Useful lives of depreciable assets
383Our Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment
may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.
Actuarial valuation
The determination of Company’s liability towards defined benefit obligation to employees is made through independent
actuarial valuation including determination of amounts to be recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss and in other
comprehensive income. Such valuation depend upon assumptions determined after taking into account discount rate, salary
growth rate, expected rate of return, mortality and attrition rate. Statement about such valuation is provided in notes to the
consolidated financial statement.
Impairment of non-financial assets
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating units based on
expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future
operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
Litigations, Claims and Contingencies
Management judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/ claim/
litigation against Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
Warranties and Liquidated Damages
Our Company’s product warranty obligations and estimations thereof are determined using historical
information of claims received up to the year end and the management’s estimate of further liability to be incurred in this regard
during the warranty period, computed on the basis of past trend of such claims. Liquidated damages on supply of products are
provided based on the contractual obligations or deduction made by the customers considering the current situation and status
of the project, the reasons for delays and past experience with the customers. Changes in estimated frequency and amount of
future warranty claims / liquidated damages, can materially affect warranty / liquidated damage expenses.
Revenue recognition
For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete
satisfaction of performance obligation. The progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the
total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.
2.27 Recent accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting standards
a) Amendment to Accounting Standards (Ind AS) issued but not yet effective
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notifies new standards or amendment to existing standards under Companies (Indian

Total Income
Our total income increased by 40.54% to ₹ 3,311.25 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 2,356.06 million for Fiscal 2024, on account
of the factors discussed below.
Revenue from operations
Revenue from operations increased by 40.11% to ₹3,264.18 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹2,329.80 million in Fiscal 2024,
primarily driven by a substantial increase in revenue from the sale of goods, which rose to ₹3,221.05 million in Fiscal 2025
from ₹2,315.64 million in Fiscal 2024. The growth in sale of goods was attributable to higher volumes of traction motors,
stators and rotors supplied to the railways, with revenue from such products increasing to ₹2,256.62 million in Fiscal 2025 from
₹1,284.67 million in Fiscal 2024. In addition, revenue from services increased to ₹27.17 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹2.02
million in Fiscal 2024, on account of higher revenue recognised from railways project-related activities.
Other income
Our other income increased by 79.25% to ₹ 47.07 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 26.26 million for Fiscal 2024, primarily
attributable to increase in the interest income on fixed deposits of ₹ 23.37 million to ₹ 36.53 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 13.16
million in Fiscal 2024 driven by improved deployment of surplus funds and higher average investment balances.
Expenses
Our total expenses increased by 37.49% to ₹ 2,743.84 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 1,995.72 million for Fiscal 2024, on
account of the factors discussed below.
Direct Costs
Our direct costs, comprising cost of materials consumed and purchases of stock-in-trade, increased by 34.61% to ₹2,167.95
million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹1,610.49 million in Fiscal 2024. This increase was broadly in line with the growth in revenue and
changes in product mix and was primarily attributable to higher volume procurement of raw materials, which increased to
₹2,171.43 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹1,614.26 million in Fiscal 2024.
Changes in inventories of finished goods, stock-in-trade and work-in progress
Our changes in inventories of finished goods, stock-in-trade and work-in progress increased by 147.23% to ₹ 69.19 million for
Fiscal 2025 from ₹ (146.49) million for Fiscal 2024.
Employee Benefits Expense
Our employee benefits expense increased by 8.99% to ₹120.17 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹110.26 million in Fiscal 2024,
primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and wages to ₹107.93 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹100.04 million in Fiscal
2024, mainly on account of annual compensation increments granted to employees. Our employee headcount decreased from
145 in Fiscal 2024 to 122 in Fiscal 2025.
Finance Costs
Our finance costs decreased by 3.55% to ₹13.59 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹14.09 million in Fiscal 2024, primarily attributable
to a reduction in interest expense on borrowings, which decreased to ₹8.73 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹11.09 million in Fiscal
2024, due to lower average utilisation of cash credit, term, and working capital demand loan facilities during the year. This
decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on warranty provisions, which rose to ₹4.86 million in Fiscal
2025 from ₹3.00 million in Fiscal 2024, primarily on account of higher sales to the railways and the corresponding increase in
warranty obligations.
Depreciation and Amortization expense
Our depreciation and amortisation expense decreased by 12.90% to ₹41.19 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹47.29 million in Fiscal
2024, primarily attributable to lower depreciation charges during the year, as our Company follows the written down value
method of depreciation and there were no significant deletions from property, plant and equipment during the relevant periods.
388Additions to property, plant and equipment amounted to ₹44.91 million in Fiscal 2025 as compared to ₹68.87 million in Fiscal
2024.
Other Expenses
Our other expenses decreased by 7.87% to ₹331.75 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹360.08 million in Fiscal 2024, primarily on
account of a reduction in engineering services expenses from ₹13.34 million in Fiscal 2024 to Nil in Fiscal 2025, a decrease in
commission and marketing expenses to ₹54.21 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹80.03 million in Fiscal 2024, and a reduction in
testing charges to ₹0.51 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹53.40 million in Fiscal 2024. These decreases were partially offset by an
increase in legal and professional expenses to ₹55.40 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹40.19 million in Fiscal 2024, an increase in
royalty expenses to ₹23.51 million from ₹14.58 million, and higher manpower hiring charges of ₹34.95 million in Fiscal 2025
as compared to ₹16.48 million in Fiscal 2024.
Tax Expense
Our tax expense increased by 69.07% to ₹163.03 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹96.43 million for Fiscal 2024, primarily due to
an increase in current tax expense to ₹178.24 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹83.16 million in Fiscal 2024. This increase was
partially offset by the recognition of a deferred tax credit of ₹15.21 million in Fiscal 2025, as compared to a deferred tax charges
of ₹ 12.12 million in Fiscal 2024, mainly due to changes in timing differences and reassessment of deferred tax balances.
Profit after tax for the period
As a result of the foregoing factors, our profit after tax for the period increased by 53.23% to ₹ 404.38 million for Fiscal 2025
from ₹ 263.91 million for Fiscal 2024.

Our total income increased by 160.68% to ₹ 2,356.06 million for Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 903.80 million for Fiscal 2023, on account
of the factors discussed below.
Revenue from operations
Our revenue from operations increased by 170.70% to ₹2,329.80 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹860.67 million in Fiscal 2023,
primarily driven by a significant increase in revenue from the sale of goods, which rose to ₹2,315.64 million in Fiscal 2024
from ₹795.59 million in Fiscal 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to higher sales volumes of railway-related products,
particularly traction motors and stators, revenue from which increased to ₹1,284.67 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹79.47 million
in Fiscal 2023. In addition, revenue from sale of brake discs increased to ₹422.21 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹250.15 million
in Fiscal 2023. During the year, revenue was further supported by a broader product mix, with stators, rotors, filters and brake
discs contributing to overall sales, and the growth was largely driven by our Company’s receipt and execution of purchase
orders across multiple railway product categories.
Other income
Our other income decreased by 39.11% to ₹26.26 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹43.13 million in Fiscal 2023. While interest
income on fixed deposits increased to ₹13.16 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹7.75 million in Fiscal 2023, driven by higher average
fixed deposit balances and improved interest rates, the overall movement in other income was attributable to non-operating
items recorded during the year, including marketing fees of ₹13.49 million and sundry balances written back of ₹9.09 million
in Fiscal 2023, which were Nil in Fiscal 2024.
Expenses
Our total expenses increased by 140.50% to ₹ 1,995.72 million for Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 829.82 million for Fiscal 2023, on
account of the factors discussed below.
Direct Costs
Our direct costs, comprising cost of materials consumed and purchases of stock-in-trade, increased by 179.10% to ₹1,610.49
million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹577.03 million in Fiscal 2023, primarily attributable to a significant increase in procurement of
raw materials, which rose to ₹1,614.26 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹663.66 million in Fiscal 2023. The increase in raw material
purchases was commensurate with the growth in revenue from operations and the overall scale-up of business activities during
the year.
Changes in inventories of finished goods, stock-in-trade and work-in progress
389Our changes in inventories of finished goods, stock-in-trade and work-in-progress increased by 218.46% to ₹(146.49) million
in Fiscal 2024 from ₹(46.00) million in Fiscal 2023, primarily attributable to a higher closing inventory of finished goods and
work-in-progress in Fiscal 2024, in line with the increased scale of operations and higher sales volumes during the year, and
commensurate with the growth in revenue from operations.
Employee Benefits Expense
Our employee benefits expense, which includes salaries and wages, contributions to provident and other funds, gratuity and
staff welfare expenses, increased by 43.59% to ₹110.26 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹76.79 million in Fiscal 2023. This increase
was primarily driven by a rise in salaries and wages and related contributions, which increased to ₹100.04 million in Fiscal
2024 from ₹71.20 million in Fiscal 2023. The increase in employee benefit expenses was principally attributable to a change
in workforce composition, including attrition of employees at lower compensation levels and induction of personnel at higher
compensation bands. Our employee headcount decreased from 144 in Fiscal 2023 to 142 in Fiscal 2024.
Finance Costs
Our finance costs decreased by 4.60% to ₹14.09 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹14.77 million in Fiscal 2023, primarily attributable
to a reduction in interest expense on borrowings, which decreased to ₹11.09 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹13.03 million in
Fiscal 2023, due to lower average utilisation of cash credit and working capital demand loan facilities and an overall reduction
in borrowings. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on warranty provisions, which increased to
₹3.00 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹1.74 million in Fiscal 2023, primarily on account of higher sales to the railways and the
corresponding increase in warranty obligations.
Depreciation and Amortization expense
Our depreciation and amortisation expense increased by 113.02% to ₹47.29 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹22.20 million in Fiscal
2023, primarily attributable to higher additions to the gross block of property, plant and equipment during the year. Additions
aggregated ₹68.87 million in Fiscal 2024, as compared to ₹15.18 million in Fiscal 2023, with significant capital expenditure in
plant and machinery amounting to ₹67.41 million during Fiscal 2024, resulting in a higher depreciation charge for the period.
Other Expenses
Our other expenses increased by 94.61% to ₹360.08 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹185.03 million in Fiscal 2023, primarily on
account of higher operating costs in line with increased business activity. Engineering services expenses were ₹13.34 million
in Fiscal 2024 as compared to ₹23.36 million in Fiscal 2023. Commission and marketing expenses increased significantly to
₹80.03 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹7.74 million in Fiscal 2023. Testing charges increased to ₹53.40 million in Fiscal 2024
from ₹30.59 million in Fiscal 2023. Job work charges increased to ₹21.72 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹5.65 million in Fiscal
2023. Power and fuel expenses also increased to ₹16.58 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹4.90 million in Fiscal 2023, reflecting
higher operational scale.
Tax Expense
Our tax expense increased by 434.83% to ₹ 96.43 million for Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 18.03 million for Fiscal 2023. This increase
was primarily driven by higher taxable profits during the year, resulting in a rise in current tax expense to ₹83.16 million in
Fiscal 2024 from ₹21.13 million in Fiscal 2023. In addition, deferred tax charge of ₹12.12 million was recognized in Fiscal
2024, as compared to a deferred tax credit of ₹4.67 million in Fiscal 2023, mainly due to reversal of timing differences and
changes in deferred tax balances.
Profit after tax for the period
As a result of the foregoing factors, our profit after tax for the period increased by 136.22% to ₹ 263.91 million for Fiscal 2024
from ₹ 111.72 million for Fiscal 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary liquidity requirements have been to finance our working capital needs for our operations. We have
met these requirements through cash flows from operations, and short term borrowings. As of September 30, 2025, we had ₹
543.26 million in inventories, ₹ 237.75 million trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents of ₹ 31.01 million and other current
assets of ₹ 109.30 million.
For the six months period ended September 30, 2025, and the Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, and our total liabilities based on
our Restated Consolidated Financial Information amounted to ₹ 1,057.64 million, ₹ 605.20 million, ₹ 561.03 million, and ₹

Related Party Transactions
We enter into various transactions with related parties. For further information see “Restated Consolidated Financial
Information – Note 36. Related Party Disclosure” on page 337.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) being the Board of Directors (Board) has overall responsibility for the
establishment and oversight of our Company risk management framework. Board of Directors regularly reviews the changes in
the market conditions, management policies and procedures and the adequacy of risk management framework in relation to the
risks faced by our Company. The framework seeks to identify, assess and mitigate financial risk in order to minimize potential
adverse effects on our Company’s financial performance.
In the course of its business, our Company is exposed primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest
rates, liquidity and credit risk, which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments.
Our Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
1) Market risk
2) Credit risk
3) Liquidity risk
1) Market risk
"Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values, or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in
market rates and prices (such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates) or in the price of market risk-sensitive
instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices.
Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables, and
all short-term and long-term debt. Our Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk,
interest rate risk, and the market value of its investments. Thus, our Company’s exposure to market risk is a function of its
investing and borrowing activities as well as revenue-generating and operating activities in foreign currencies."
A. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market interest rates. Our Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our Company’s
debt obligations with floating interest rates. The interest rate risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market interest rate
of these borrowings. Our Company has following variable and fixed interest rate borrowings as at end of reporting periods:
Particulars As at September As at March As at March As at March
30, 2025 31, 2025 31, 2024 31, 2023
Financial liability
Fixed rate borrowings - 9.68 46.72 123.37

Total Borrowing 188.68 185.45 85.09 218.03
Interest rate sensitivity – variable rate instruments
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for financial instruments at the end
of the reporting year and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout
the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in
interest rates at the reporting date would have increased /(decreased) profit /loss by the amounts as under:
Particulars Profit or loss
100 basis point increase 100 basis point decrease
As at September 30, 2025 (1.89) 1.89
As at March 31, 2025 (1.76) 1.76
As at March 31, 2024 (0.38) 0.38
As at March 31, 2023 (0.95) 0.95
B. Currency risk
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement, statement of
comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows where any transaction
references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.
The summary quantitative data about our Company’s unhedged exposure to currency risk as reported to the management is as
follows.

C. Price Risk
The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments. Since our Company does not have
any investment in mutual fund or equity investment our Company is not exposed to any significant price risk.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading
to a financial loss. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as
well as concentration of risks. Credit risk is controlled by analysing credit limits and creditworthiness of customers on a
continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted after obtaining necessary approvals for credit. Financial instruments that
are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and
other financial assets.
A. Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed subject to our Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit
risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit review and individual credit limits are
defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
At the year end our Company does not have any material concentrations of bad debt risk.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The calculation is based
on historical data. Our Company does not hold collateral as security. Our Company evaluates the concentration of risk with
394respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent
markets.
Most of the sales are made to government customers. For private customers, our Company evaluates the creditworthiness based
on publicly available financial information and our Company historical experiences. Our Company’s major customers includes
public sector undertakings. Accordingly, our Company’s customer credit risk is low. Our Company exposure to its
counterparties are continuously reviewed and monitored by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) being the Board of
Directors (Board). Credit period varies as per the contractual terms with the customers. Company doesn’t have financing
component in the contracts with customers.
Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same
geographical region, or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly
affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of our Company’s
performance to developments affecting a particular industry. Our Company is a manufacturer of railway equipments, and one
customer of our Company individually accounted for more than 70% of the outstanding trade receivable as at September 30,
2025 (March 31, 2025: One customer, March 31, 2024 : One customer, and March 31, 2023 : One customer).
Expected credit loss under simplified approach for trade receivables:

Expected credit loss: - - - -
Net carrying value 237.75 312.83 291.80 201.08
B. Financial instruments and cash deposits
Credit risk is limited as our Company generally invests in deposits with banks with high credit rating assigned by international
and domestic credit rating agencies. Counter party credit limits are reviewed by our Company periodically and the limits are
set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty’s potential failure to make
payment.
3) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that our Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are proposed to be settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. Our Company’s financial planning has
ensured, as far as possible, that there is sufficient liquidity to meet the liabilities whenever due, under both normal and stressed
conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to our Company’s reputation.
Our Company regularly monitors the rolling forecasts to ensure it has sufficient cash on an ongoing basis to meet operational
needs. Any short-term surplus cash generated, over and above the amount required for working capital management and other
operational requirements, is retained as cash and cash equivalents (to the extent required), and any excess is invested in interest-
bearing term deposits with appropriate maturities to optimise the cash returns on investments while ensuring sufficient liquidity
to meet its liabilities.
The following table shows the maturity analysis of our Company’s financial liabilities based on contractually agreed
undiscounted cash flows along with its carrying value as at September 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March

Mechanism for redressal of investor grievances
The Registrar Agreement provides for retention of records with the Registrar to the Offer for a period of at least eight years
from the date of listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges or any such period as
prescribed under the applicable laws, to enable the investors to approach the Registrar to the Offer for redressal of their
grievances. The Registrar to the Offer shall obtain the required information from SCSBs for addressing any clarifications or
grievances of ASBA Bidders.
Bidders can contact the Company Secretary and the Compliance Officer and/or the Registrar to the Offer in case of any pre-
Offer or post-Offer related problems such as non-receipt of letters of Allotment, non- credit of Allotted Equity Shares in the
respective beneficiary account, non-receipt of refund orders or non- receipt of funds by electronic mode. For all Offer related
queries and for redressal of complaints, Bidders may also write to the BRLMs, in the manner provided below. Our Company,
the Selling Shareholders, the BRLMs and the Registrar to the Offer accept no responsibility for errors, omissions, commission
or any acts of SCSBs including any defaults in complying with its obligations under the applicable provisions of the SEBI

Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Master Circular, SEBI has identified the need to put in place measures, in order to manage and
handle investor issues arising out of the UPI Mechanism inter alia in relation to delay in receipt of mandates by Bidders for
blocking of funds due to systemic issues faced by Designated Intermediaries/SCSBs and failure to unblock funds in cases of
partial allotment/non allotment within prescribed timelines and procedures.
In terms of SEBI ICDR Master Circular and subsequent circulars issued by the SEBI, as may be applicable, any ASBA Bidder
whose Bid has not been considered for Allotment, due to failure on the part of any SCSB, shall have the option to seek redressal
of the same by the concerned SCSB within three months of the date of listing of the Equity Shares. SCSBs are required to
resolve these complaints within 15 days, failing which the concerned SCSB would have to pay interest at the rate of 15% per
annum for any delay beyond this period of 15 days. Further, in terms of SEBI ICDR Master Circular read with SEBI circular

Phased implementation of UPI for Bids by RIIs as per the UPI Circulars
SEBI has issued UPI Circulars in relation to streamlining the process of public issue of equity shares and convertibles by
introducing an alternate payment mechanism using UPI. Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, UPI has been introduced in a phased
manner as a payment mechanism (in addition to mechanism of blocking funds in the account maintained with SCSBs under the
ASBA) for applications by RIIs through intermediaries with the objective to reduce the time duration from public issue closure
to listing from six Working Days to up to three Working Days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes to
the systems and to ensure complete and smooth transition to the UPI payment mechanism, the UPI Circulars have introduced
and implemented the UPI payment mechanism in three phases in the following manner:
(a) Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 1, 2019 until March 31, 2019 or floating of five main board public
issues, whichever was later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of Phase I was extended until June 30,
2019. Under this phase, an RII also had the option to submit the ASBA Form with any of the intermediary and use his
/ her UPI ID for the purpose of blocking of funds. The time duration from public issue closure to listing would continue
to be six Working Days.
(b) Phase II: This phase has become applicable from July 1, 2019 and was to initially continue for a period of three
months or floating of five main board public issues, whichever is later. SEBI vide its circular no.
SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2019/133 dated November 8, 2019 has decided to extend the timeline for
implementation of UPI Phase II until March 31, 2020. Under this phase, submission of the physical ASBA Form by
an UPI Bidder through Designated Intermediaries (other than SCSBs) to SCSBs for blocking of funds was discontinued
and replaced by the UPI payment mechanism. However, the time duration from public issue closure to listing continued
to be six Working Days during this phase. Subsequently, SEBI vide its circular no.
SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/50 dated March 30, 2020 extended the timeline for implementation of UPI Phase II
till further notice.
(c) Phase III: This phase has become applicable on a voluntary basis for all issues opening on or after September 1, 2023
and on a mandatory basis for all issues opening on or after December 1, 2023, vide SEBI circular bearing number
SEBI/HO/CFD/TPD1/CIR/P/2023/140 dated August 9, 2023 (“T+3 Notification”) (to the extent not rescinded by the
SEBI ICDR Master Circular in relation to the SEBI ICDR Regulations). In this phase, the time duration from public
issue closure to listing has been reduced to three Working Days. The Offer shall be undertaken pursuant to the
processes and procedures as notified in the T+3 Notification as applicable, subject to any circulars, clarification or
notification issued by SEBI from time to time, including any circular, clarification or notification which may be issued
by SEBI.

Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, SEBI has set out specific requirements for redressal of investor grievances for applications that
have been made through the UPI Mechanism. The requirements of the UPI Circulars include, appointment of a nodal officer

unblocking of UPI mandates, the requirement for the Registrar to submit details of cancelled, withdrawn or deleted applications,
and the requirement for the bank accounts of unsuccessful Bidders to be unblocked no later than one day from the date on which
the Basis of Allotment is finalised. Failure to unblock the accounts within the timeline would result in the SCSBs being
penalised under the relevant securities law. Additionally, if there is any delay in the redressal of investors’ complaints, the
relevant SCSB as well as the post–Offer BRLMs will be required to compensate the concerned investor.
All SCSBs offering facility of making application in public issues shall also provide facility to make application using UPI.

fully completed, and (ii) applicable compensation relating to investor complaints has been paid by the SCSB in accordance with

457RESTRICTIONS 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 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. Under
the Industrial Policy, 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.
The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible for granting approval for foreign investment.
The Government has from time to time made policy pronouncements on FDI through press notes and press releases. The
Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India (earlier
known as Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion) (“DPIIT”), issued the FDI Policy, which is effect from October 15,
2020, which subsumes and supersedes all previous press notes, press releases and clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT
that were in force and effect prior to October 15, 2020. The FDI Policy will be valid until the DPIIT issues an updated circular.
FDI in companies engaged in sectors/ activities which are not listed in the FDI Policy is permitted up to 100% of the paid up
share capital of such company under the automatic route, subject to compliance with certain prescribed conditions. For further
details, see “Key Regulations and Policies” on page 240.

subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country which shares land border with India or where the
beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country (“Restricted Investors”), will
require prior approval of the Government, as prescribed in the FDI Policy and the FEMA Rules. Further, in the event of transfer
of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the
beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will
also require approval of the Government. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) (Fourth
Amendment) Rules, 2020, issued on December 8, 2020, a multilateral bank or fund, of which India is a member, shall not be
treated as an entity of a particular country nor shall any country be treated as the beneficial owner of the investments of such
bank or fund in India. Each Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its ability to participate in the Offer. In the event
such prior approval of the Government of India is required, and such approval has been obtained, the Bidder shall intimate our
Company and the Registrar to the Offer in writing about such approval along with a copy thereof within the Offer Period.
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 are under the automatic route under the FDI policy and transfer does not attract
the provisions of the Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the FDI policy;
and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.
In terms of the FEMA Rule and the FDI Policy, a person resident outside India may make investments into India, subject to
certain terms and conditions, and further provided that an entity of a country, which shares land border with India or where the
beneficial owner of an investment into India, who is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, shall invest only with the

investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the above restriction/
purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government of India. Each
Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its ability to participate in the Offer. In the event such prior approval of the
Government is required, and such approval has been obtained, the Bidder shall intimate our Company and the Registrar in
writing about such approval along with a copy thereof within the Offer Period.
