Auditor raised a concerned regarding claims on the Company by the lenders of Amrit Jal Ventures Private Limited and Gati Infrastructure Bhasmey Power Private Limited aggregating to Rs. 25619.80 Lakhs due to invocation of corporate guarantee given by the Company. Against the said liability, the Company during the financial year 2019-20, considering the disputed nature of claim and unlawful invocation of corporate guarantee made a provision of Rs. 7798.91 Lakhs. As at March 31, 2024, the Company has disclosed the balance amount of liability Rs. 17820.89 Lakhs as contingent liability in its Financial Statements. In the absence of adequate basis for recognition of partial liability, in our opinion the Company ought to have recognised the lability in its books. Had the liability been recognised, the loss for the year and accordingly the other equity will be higher by Rs. 17820.89 Lakhs.

Board Comment:

Response of the management is given in note no. 28 of the financial statements. ii. Further, regarding the invocation of Companys investment in equity shares of Gati Limited pledged as security for the credit facilities availed from Godavari Commercial Services Private Limited (Godavari), one of the lenders to the Company. However, the Company continued to present the said equity shares as investment at fair value as at March 31, 2024 despite invocation for the reasons stated in the said note. Further in view of the uncertainty relating to recoverability of the said investment, During the current year i.e March 2025 the Company has decided to write off the investments due to prolonged legal proceedings. Hence as amount of Rs. 930.25 Lakhs has been debited to profit & loss account as investment written off.

Board Comment:

Response of the management is given in note no. 27(i) of the financial statement. iii. The investments in equity shares of the Company held in Gati Limited pledged for the facilities availed by Amrit Jal Ventures Private Limited (AJVPL). The lenders of AJVPL invoked the pledge and realized their dues. However, the Company continued to treat the said equity shares as investment at fair value as at March 31, 2024 despite invocation for the reasons stated in the said note. Considering that investments have been sold, further in view of the uncertainty relating to recoverability of the said investment, During the current year i.e March 2025 the Company has decided to write off the investments due to prolonged legal proceedings. Hence as amount of Rs. 774.41 Lakhs has been debited to profit & loss account as investment written off Board Comment:

Response of the management is given in note no. 27(ii) of financial statement. iv. The preparation of financial statements by the management on a going concern basis for the reason stated therein.

In the absence of sufficient and appropriate evidence and the liabilities devolved on the Company upon invocation of guarantees by the lenders of other entities, in our opinion, preparation of financial statements on a going concern is not appropriate. Hence, we are unable to comment on the effect on carrying value of assets and liabilities had the financial statements been prepared not as a going concern.

In view of the matters reported at para (i) to (iv) above and considering cumulative effect of these matters on the carrying values of assets and liabilities as at end of the year, we are unable to comment on the effect on the loss for the year ended and the retained earnings, had these matters been given effect in the financial results and financial information for the current year.
