Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
Basis for Opinion
Key Audit Matters
| Sr. No Key Audit Matter | Auditors Response |
| 1. Litigations - Contingencies As disclosed in Note 40 to the standalone financial statements, the Company has certain disputed statutory dues, including matters relating to Custom Duty and Income-tax, which are pending before various appellate authorities/forums. The amounts involved in certain of these matters are significant and the application of Indian accounting standards to determine the amount, if any, to be provided as a liability or disclosed as accounting liability, is inherently subjective. Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts are disclosed in the Financial Statements by the Company after a careful evaluation of the facts and legal aspects of the matters involved. The outcome of such litigation is uncertain and the position taken by management involves significant judgement and estimation to determine the likelihood and/or timing of cash outflows and the interpretation of preliminary and pending court rulings. | Principal Audit Procedures We obtained an understanding of the Companys process for identifying, evaluating and accounting for obligations and disputed statutory dues and assessed the design and implementation of relevant controls in this regard. We obtained and reviewed the details of the significant disputed statutory dues relating to Custom Duty and Income-tax and reconciled the amounts involved with the underlying records and the disclosures in the standalone financial statements. We examined relevant assessment/appellate orders, notices, demand orders, appeal documents and other correspondence with the respective statutory authorities/forums for significant matters. We evaluated the basis of managements assessment of the likelihood of an adverse outcome and the consequent requirement for recognition of a provision or disclosure of a contingent liability under Ind AS 37. We also considered developments subsequent to the reporting date, including orders or communications received |
| 2. Loan Restructuring Arrangement with Consortium Lenders As disclosed in Note 39 to the standalone financial statements, the Company has entered into a loan restructuring arrangement with its consortium lenders pursuant to the Reserve Bank of Indias framework for relief measures in areas affected by natural calamities. The restructuring plan has been approved by the majority of the consortium lenders. However, one bank, representing approximately 7% of the debt exposure, has dissented from the restructuring plan and one Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC), having an outstanding loan of Rs.625 lakh, has not participated in the restructuring arrangement. The Company has initiated legal proceedings in respect of the dissenting/non-participating lenders and has obtained an injunction order from the Honble High Court of Madras, with the matter being sub judice. The repayment obligations under the restructured arrangement commenced from the quarter ended June 2026. Further, as part of the restructuring arrangement, the Company has undertaken measures for mobilisation of funds, including proposed sale of non-core assets and contribution by the promoters. |
