INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To,

THE MEMBERS OF PRAKASH INDUSTRIES LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Qualified Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Prakash Industries Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement
of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year on that date and a summary of the significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the
matter(s) described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid financial statements give the true
and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company
as at March 31, 2023, the profit and total other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year
ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

Note 34 to the financial statement, wherein the deferred tax liability of '' 2,905 lakhs for the year ended on March 31, 2023
has been adjusted against Security Premium Account in terms of a court order. Had the deferred tax been accounted for
pursuant to the Ind AS-12 ''Income Taxes'', net profit and total comprehensive income after tax for the year ended on March
31, 2023 would have been lower by '' 2,905 lakhs.

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section
143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities
for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the
Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the independence requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion on
the financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the
matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section we have determined the matters described below to be the key
audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report including its Annexures, Business
Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information, but does not include the financial statements
and our auditor''s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during
the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we
are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the
preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance,
total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records
in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting
frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates
that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that
were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation
and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company''s ability to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but
to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor''s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout
the audit. We also:

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
of internal control.

- Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion
on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such
controls.

- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.

- Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are

inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor''s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether
the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable
that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider
quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in(i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our
work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with the governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor''s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences
of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To

The Members of

PRAKASH INDUSTRIES LIMITED

1. Report on the Standalone Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Prakash Industries Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

2. Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance (including other comprehensive income), cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

3. Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the standalone financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial controls relevant to the Company''s preparation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company''s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

4. Basis for Qualified Opinion

We refer note no 37 and 39 of the Standalone Financial Statement that the deferred tax liability of Rs, 2,741 lakhs for the year ended on March 31, 2018 has been adjusted against Securities Premium Account by the Company in terms of a court order. Further, the MAT Credit Entitlement not availed within the time allowed aggregating to Rs, 4,931 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2018 has been adjusted against retained earnings. Had there been accounted for pursuant to Ind AS -12 ‘Income Taxes’, net profit and total comprehensive income after tax for the year ended on March 31, 2018 would have been lower '' 7,672 lakhs.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matters described under paragraph 4 ‘Basis for Qualified Opinion’, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2018, and its financial performance including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

6. Emphasis of Matter

We drew attention to note 40 and 41 of the Standalone Financial Statement, in respect of cancellation of allocation of coal mine blocks to the Company and two joint venture entities pursuant to the order of Hon''ble Supreme court in the year 2014. The full and final compensation for cancellation of these mines is yet to be received.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Prakash Industries Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing issued, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness.

Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of standalone financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of standalone financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the standalone financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Basis of qualified opinion

The Company did not have appropriate internal financial controls in respect of control over process of compliance of Ind As-12 “Income Tax” and accounting thereof. The inadequate internal controls over financial reporting in respect of aforesaid matters have effect on the reported profit for the year.

Qualified opinion

In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, except for the effects of matters described in “Basis of qualified opinion” paragraph above, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

We have considered matters reported in “Basis of qualified opinion” paragraph in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the March 31, 2018.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

3. Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the rules made there under.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial controls relevant to the Company’s preparation of the Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company’s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Ind AS financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the Ind AS financial statements.

4. Basis for Qualified Opinion

We refer to:

a. Note 40 to the Ind AS financial statements, wherein in terms of a court order, the deferred tax liability of Rs. 236 lakhs for the year ended on March 31, 2017 has been adjusted against Securities Premium reserve. Had the deferred tax liability been accounted for pursuant to Ind AS-12 ''Income Taxes’, total comprehensive income after tax for the year ended on March 31, 2017 would have been higher by Rs. 236 lakhs.

b. Note 41 to the Ind AS financial statements, wherein no provision for interest aggregating to Rs.1,126 lakhs for the year and Rs.2,178 lakhs as at March 31, 2017 has been made in respect of restructured Foreign Currency Bonds/Convertible Bonds. Also, no provision of interest (amount not ascertained) has been made in respect of other matured Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds as at March 31, 2017. Had such provision for interest been made, Capital work in progress and Other Current financial liabilities would have been higher to that extent. Further, the Company has classified matured Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds of Rs.15,756 lakhs as borrowings under the head “Non-Current Financial liabilities” instead of “Current Financial liabilities”.

c. Note 42 to the Ind AS financial statements, wherein MAT credit entitlement expired during the year amounting to Rs.1709 lakhs has been adjusted against the retained earnings. Had this been adjusted in the Statement of Profit & Loss, profit for the year would have been lower by such amount.

5. Qualified Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matters described under paragraph 4 ‘Basis for Qualified Opinion’, the aforesaid Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2017, and its profit (financial performance including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

6. Emphasis of matters

We draw attention to the following matters referred to in:

a. Note 42 to the Ind AS financial statements, wherein the provision for tax expenses made by the Company is subject to assessment by the tax authorities and set off of MAT credit entitlement is subject to availability of taxable income in future periods within the prescribed time limit as per the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

b. Note 44 to the Ind AS financial statements, wherein the Coal mine blocks allocated to two Joint Venture Companies have been cancelled pursuant to an order of Hon’ble Supreme court. No provision has been made for any diminution in the value of investments of Rs.218 lakhs made by the Company in these companies and the advance of Rs.189 lakhs given by the Company.

c. Note 45 to the Ind AS financial statements, wherein the Company has not received the full and final compensation for the assets of Chotia coal mine transferred in terms of a government order. The necessary adjustment for the gain/loss on transfer of these assets will be made after receipt of full and final amount of compensation.

d. Note 60 to the Ind AS financial statements, wherein managerial remuneration amounting to Rs.523 lakhs paid/provided for the financial year ended March 31, 2016 is subject to awaited approval of the Central Government.

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.

7. Other Matter

The comparative financial information of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2016 and the transition date opening balance sheet as at April 1, 2015 included in the Ind AS financial statements, are based on the previously issued audited financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 prepared in accordance with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 which were audited by the predecessor auditor whose report for the years ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 dated May 24, 2016 and May 25, 2015 respectively expressed modified/ unmodified opinion on those financial statements.
