HARIOM PIPE INDUSTRIES LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2023-24
of various indicators of business segment/s in which the company operates. The Company is primarily engaged
in the business of Manufacturing & selling of Steel Products, which the management and CODM recognise as
the sole business segment. Hence disclosure of segment-wise information is not required and accordingly not
provided.
The other applicable information applicable where there is only one segment as required in accordance with
IND AS 108 – Operating Segments, are as under:
(a) The company does not have the information in respect of the revenues from external customers for each
product and service, or each group of similar products and services, and the cost to develop such system will
be highly excessive. Accordingly such information is not disclosed as allowed by para 32 of IND AS 108.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents and other
bank balances are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They
are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own
credit risk.
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
34.2 Fair Value Measurement
(i) Fair Value hierarchy
Level 1 - Quoted Prices (Unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - 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 price)
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
