The Honorable Supreme Court vide is decision of September 24, 2014 held that allotment of various coal blocks including those allotted to GVK Coal (Tokisud) Company Private Limited is arbitrary and illegal and had cancelled the allotment. Subsequently, the government promulgated The Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Ordinance 2014, which intends to take appropriate action to deal with situation arising pursuant to the Honorable Supreme Courtâs judgment. GVK Coal Tokisud, subsidiary company has filed writ petition before the Honâble High Court of Delhi challenging the decision of the Nominated Authority, Ministry of Coal which quantified the compensation payable to GVK for taking over the Tokisud Coal Block as Rs.11,129 Lakhs against the carrying value of assets of Rs.311,15 Lakhs. The Honâble High court had passed an order 09.03.2017. In the order, Honâble High cout has agreed that taking restricting compensation to the computed written down value as on 31.03.2014 may not be correct and valuation of the mine infrastructure should be done as on the date of execution of the vesting order or allotment order as the case may be. Court has advised the management to raise disputes before the tribunal for the quantum of compensation. Based on the managementâs judgment the Company has resubmitted its claim for balance compensation to nominated authority on 28th April 2017. Management believes that the subsidiary will be appropriately reimbursed for cancelled coal mine accordingly no provision was required to be made on carrying value of assets.

Management's response on the Statutory Auditors Qualification /
Comments
a) Qualification on termination notice served by GVK Oil & Gas Ltd
GVK Power & Infrastructure Limited (GVKPIL) had incorporated a
subsidiary GVK Oil & Gas Limited (GVK) for carrying out the business
activity of exploration & production of Oil & Gas. GVK along with M/s
BHP Billiton (BHP) had bid for 7 of the 57 blocks offered by the
Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (Ministry) under New Exploration
and Licensing Policy, Seventh offer of Blocks ("NELP VII"). The
consortium of GVK & BHP was awarded the license for exploration,
development and production of oil / gas in 7 blocks. Six of the blocks
are of the western coast and one block is of the Kerala-Konkan coast.
The consortium of GVK & BHP had entered into a Production Sharing
Contract (PSC) with Ministry on December 22, 2008 for all the seven
blocks allotted.
The participating interest held by GVK and BHP in each of the blocks
are 74% and 26% respectively. BHP was appointed as the Operator for the
Blocks pursuant to the Joint Operating Agreements ("JOAs") entered
between BHP and GVK for each Block, each dated December 22, 2008.
Under the PSC, the contractor has the obligation to complete the
minimum work program and the mandatory work program for each of the
blocks within the time stipulated therein. The minimum work program in
all blocks (except MB 3) was completed as committed under the PSC's.
Only, 3D seismic data acquisition, processing and interpretation
("API") in an area covering 300 Sq. KM in MB 3 (as part of
committed work program) couldn't be completed, because of the defence
(Naval) restrictions and later conditional release imposed.
Subsequently, the clearance was given by introducing additional
conditions by the Ministry, which was neither contemplated 22 by the
Contractor at the time of entering into the PSC nor was the Contractor
informed of the existence/ requirement of such conditions by the
Government of India at that time. This has not only rendered the
performance obligations of the Contractor under the PSC impossible but
has also destroyed the foundation and the objectives of the PSC. Hence,
during the previous year, Termination Notice was served by GVK on the
Ministry for termination of PSC. The Management based on legal
advice believes that the Ministry will reimburse the costs incurred by
it and accordingly no adjustment is required for carrying value of
investments and advances aggregating to Rs. 10,161 Lakhs.
b) Qualification on recoverability against carrying value of assets of
GVK Coal (Tokisud) Private Limited
GVK Coal (Tokisud) Private Limited was incorporated for developing a
coal mine with minable reserve of 52 Million Tons (geological reserve
of around 92 Million Tons) in the state of Jharkhand as a captive coal
mine to meet the requirements of coal of one of the step down
subsidiary i.e. GVK Power (Goindwal Sahib) Limited, which is
implementing a 540 MW Power Plant at Goindwal Sahib in Punjab.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court vide its decision dated September 24, 2014
held that allotment of various coal blocks including those allotted to
GVK Coal (Tokisud) Company Private Limited is arbitrary and illegal and
had cancelled the allotment. Subsequently, the government promulgated
The Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Ordinance 2014, which intends to
take appropriate action to deal with situation arising pursuant to the
Honorable Supreme Court's judgment. GVK Coal Tokisud, subsidiary
company has filed writ petition before the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi
challenging the decision of the Nominated Authority, Ministry of Coal
which quantified the compensation payable to GVK for taking over the
Tokisud Coal Block as Rs. 11,129 Lakhs against the carrying value of
assets of Rs. 35,575 Lakhs. The Management believes that the subsidiary
will be appropriately reimbursed for cancelled coal mine accordingly no
provision was required to be made to carrying value of assets.

supply of gas, Jegurupadu Phase I plant operated at a part load (50%

the situation of non-availability of gas is expected to continue for
the foreseeable future, the Major Maintenance of gas turbines is also
deferred.

proposed transaction for the joint development of a rail line and a new
coal terminal at the existing Abbot Point Port to unlock the Galilee
Basin''s coal resources, including GVK Hancock''s Alpha, Alpha West and
Kevin''s Corner coal projects. In November of 2013, GVK Hancock and

statements of the Company along with its subsidiary Companies are

Management''s response on the Auditors qualification
GVK Power & Infrastructure Limited (GVKPIL) had incorporated a
subsidiary GVK Oil & Gas Limited (GVK) for carrying out the business
activity of exploration & production of Oil & Gas. GVK along with M/s
BHP Billiton (BHP) had bid for 7 of the 57 blocks offered by the
Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (Ministry) under New Exploration
and Licencing Policy, Seventh offer of Blocks ("NELP VII"). The
consortium of GVK & BHP was awarded the license for exploration,
development and production of oil / gas in 7 blocks. Six of the blocks
are off the western coast and one block is off the Kerala-Konkan coast.
The consortium of GVK & BHP had entered into a Production Sharing
Contract (PSC) with Ministry on December 22, 2008 for all the seven
blocks allotted. The participating interest held by GVK and BHP in
each of the blocks are 74% and 26% respectively. BHP was appointed as
the Operator for the Blocks pursuant to the Joint Operating Agreements
("JOAs") entered between BHP and GVK for each Block, each dated
December 22, 2008.
Under the PSC, the contractor has the obligation to complete the
minimum work program and the mandatory work program for each of the
blocks within the time stipulated therein. The minimum work program in
all blocks (except MB 3) was completed as committed under the PSC''s.
Only, 3D seismic data acquisition, processing and interpretation
("API") in an area covering 300 Sq. KM in MB 3 (as part of committed
work program) couldn''t be completed, because of the defence (Naval)
restrictions and later conditional release imposed. Subsequently, the
clearance was given by introducing additional conditions by the
Ministry, which was neither contemplated by the Contractor at the time
of entering into the PSC nor was the Contractor informed of the
existence/requirement of such conditions by the Government of India at
that time. This has not only rendered the performance obligations of
the Contractor under the PSC impossible but has also destroyed the
foundation and the objectives of the PSC. Hence, during the year,
Termination Notice has been served by GVK on the Ministry for
termination of PSC. The Management based on legal advice believes that
the Ministry will reimburse the costs incurred by it and accordingly no
adjustment is required for carrying value of investments and advances
aggregating to Rs. 17,745 Lakhs and guarantee aggregating to Rs. 813
Lakhs issued by the Company for subsidiary.
