Over the years, Polycab has evolved from a largely B2B play to a fast-growing B2C
brand. Driving our growth as a powerhouse in India’s consumer electricals market
have been our investments in branding and marketing—with outstanding results as
have been detailed in the other pages of this report.
Our initial strategy was to focus on strengthening not only above-the-line but
also below-the-line and through-the-line communication. This ensured not only
top-of-mind recall for the brand but similar recognition at point-of-sale and
post-purchase satisfaction. In recent years, we have invested in premium media
properties such as the world’s most-watched domestic T-20 cricket tournament,
the Indian Premier League.
‘Connection Zindagi Ka’, our positioning line, was a hit with customers—the
impactful narrative connected with their minds and hearts.

obligations because the promises to transfer the goods and services and the provision of service-type warranty
are capable of being distinct. Using the relative stand-alone selling price method, a portion of the transaction
price is allocated to the service-type warranty and recognised as a liability. Revenue is recognised over the period

As a practical expedient, the Company uses the provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the

life of the trade receivables and its adjusted forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed
default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

Interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and embeded commodity derivative are valued using valuation techniques, which employ
the use of market observable inputs( closing rates of foreign currency and commodities).
Embedded foreign currency and commodity derivatives are measured similarly to the foreign currency forward contracts and commodity derivatives.
The embedded derivatives are commodity and foreign currency forward contracts which are separated from purchase contracts.
The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, short-term borrowings, loans to related party, loans to
employees, short term security deposit and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of
these instruments.
