Notes :

a. Segment reclass

Effective 1 April 2021, the Group has changed the segment classification for certain products business which were earlier reported as part of Engineering and R&D Services to Products & Platforms segment. Impact of this change is immaterial for operating results of both the segments. Prior period figures have also been restated to conform to current period composition of the operating segments.

b. Segmental capital employed

Assets and liabilities are not identified to any reportable segments, since these are used interchangeably across segments and consequently, the management believes that it is not practicable or meaningful to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities.
