Net order book means the aggregate revenue from awarded programs which are either yet to start production or are yet to fully ramp up, in the next 10 years, after adjusting for the negative impact of all programs that are expected to reach end of life or be phased out. We have also applied a discount to accommodate any unforeseen delays or changes in program launches that may happen in the future. Railway business order book is based on the purchase orders received from the customers to be executed largely within next 12 months

VA/Employee Cost (for manufacturing businesses only) = Material margin / (Employee cost + Manpower cost on hiring) ROCE = LTM EBIT/(Average tangible capital employed + capital deployed for acquiring NOVELIC and Railway Business)
ROE = LTM PAT/(Average tangible net worth + capital deployed for acquiring NOVELIC and Railway Business)
Net Debt to EBITDA = Short-term & long-term debt less cash, bank balances & mutual fund investments / LTM EBITDA
