FUTURE OUTLOOK

India’s infrastructure sector continues to serve as a cornerstone of national development, with roads and highways playing a critical role in connecting people, markets, and industries. As India pursues its ambition to become a US$ 26 trillion economy by 2047, infrastructure development—especially road construction—remains central to enhancing productivity, reducing logistics costs, and improving ease of doing business.

The Government of India has reaffirmed its commitment to large-scale infrastructure expansion through continued investments under flagship programmes such as PM GatiShakti, Bharatmala Pariyojana, the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), and the National Monetization Pipeline (NMP). These initiatives are driving integrated planning and accelerated execution of transportation infrastructure projects, particularly in the roads and highways sector.

In the Union Budget 2025-26, the infrastructure allocation has been increased to Rs. 11.1 lakh crore (approx. US$ 133 billion), with special emphasis on sustainable transportation, multimodal logistics, and digital monitoring of projects. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) alone has been allocated over Rs. 1.5 lakh crore, reaffirming the government’s resolve to upgrade national highway corridors, enhance expressway networks, and improve last-mile connectivity across the country.

Under PM GatiShakti, over 2 lakh km of national highways are proposed to be completed by FY 2026, and dedicated logistics zones and multimodal terminals are being developed to ease freight movement. This unified master plan now integrates railways, roads, ports, airways, and even energy grids, creating unprecedented opportunities for EPC and HAM contractors in the road sector.

Private sector participation in highway development under PPP, BOT, HAM, and TOT models continues to gain traction. Recent policy reforms, digital procurement platforms, and viability gap funding have further streamlined participation by infrastructure developers.

Your Company remains focused on leveraging these opportunities by:

• Evaluating new concession models and bidding for viable NHAI/MoRTH projects

• Strengthening execution capacity through technology-enabled project management

• Enhancing collaboration with existing Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs)

• Strictly adhering to evolving ESG norms, safety regulations, and fiscal discipline

Despite challenges such as rising input costs, land acquisition delays, and financing constraints, the long-term outlook for the road construction sector remains strong and resilient. The government’s thrust on capital expenditure, digital highways, and green infrastructure will continue to open new avenues for execution-driven and compliance-oriented companies like ours.

Infrastructure support to nation’s manufacturers also remains one of the top agendas as it will significantly transform goods and exports movement making freight delivery effective and economical.

Your Company is exploring new opportunities to identify suitable and viable project or to continue and strengthen its present business with its existing SPVs keeping in view the current business conditions, financial constraints, modern technologies, project deadlines, safety protocols, compliances and market margins.

Your Company remains committed to contributing meaningfully to India’s infrastructure growth journey by adopting innovative construction methods, aligning with national priorities, and delivering projects with integrity, efficiency, and sustainable value.

Auditors Qualification (Standalone)

1. The Company has written back Zero Interest Sub-ordinate Loan (ZISL) payable to Gayatri Projects Limited (GPL) of Rs. 17,887.51 Lakhs during the financial year 2022-23 which has been subject to confirmation from GPL. In the absence of balance confirmation, we are unable to comment upon the aforesaid write back and the carrying value of the payable as at 31 March 2025 or any adjustments required to and the consequent impact if any, on the financial statements had the confirmation been received from the GPL. Further, the Company did not get the confirmation of loan balance from GPL for non-interest-bearing loan amount due to them of Rs. 7,403.47 as GPL is under IBC.

Explanation:

As per the terms of the MOU dated 20.03.2019 between the parties, the ZISL is no more payable to Gayatri

Projects Limited and hence the company has written back the ZISL. Management is unable to estimate the

impact due to the non-confirmation of balances by GPL. The management further informed that GPL is in

NCLT under IBC.

2. The Company has defaulted in repayment of outstanding term loan of Rs. 3,822.65 Lakhs and outstanding accumulated interest of Rs. 1,193.21 Lakhs (Interest was recognized in the financial statements till 31 March 2023) payable to IL&FS Financial Services Limited. The company has been calculating and recognizing interest only on the defaulted principle of Rs. 3,822.65 Lakhs as per the existing loan agreement since the Company has not received balance confirmation from the said lender. In the absence of balance confirmation, we are unable to comment on the carrying value of term loan principle and outstanding interest as at 31 March 2025 or any adjustment required to and the consequent impact if any on the financial statements had the confirmations been received from the lender.

Explanation:

The Company has requested for confirmation of balances and is yet to be received.

3. The Company did not provide interest on the outstanding term loan of Rs. 3,822. 65 Lakhs due to IL&FS Financial Services Limited for the period 01 April 2023 to 31 March 2025. The Company’s records indicate that, had management provided interest for the period 01 April 2023 to 31 March 2025, the cumulative loss and the corresponding liability would have been increased by Rs. 1,146.80 Lakhs and total equity would have been reduced by Rs. 1,146.80 Lakhs calculated on interest of 15% p.a.

Explanation:

The Lender has already claimed the amounts from the Guarantor M/s.Gayatri Projects Limited. Further the lender has already submitted the claim to NCLT under IBC, 2016 against the Guarantor namely M/s.Gayatri Projects Limited and NCLT has admitted and appointed CIRP. As the matter is under dispute, the Company did not provide interest for the said period.

4(a) The Company has invested Rs.434.32 lakhs as equity and 0.001% optionally convertible debentures of Rs. 1,112.48 lakhs as well as advanced loans including interest till 31 March 2025 of Rs. 2,642.17 lakhs. Further it has to receive an amount of Rs.83.52 lakhs towards receivable for deputation. All these amounts aggregate to Rs. 4,272.49 lakhs in Cyberabad Expressways Limited (CEL), a jointly controlled entity.

As per the audited financial statements of the CEL as on 31 March 2025, the negative net worth stood at Rs. 11,513.94 lakhs. Consequent to the erosion in the net worth of CEL, the exposure of the Company to the extent of Rs. 4,272.49 lakhs is required to be impaired fully. IndAS 36 requires the company to provide for impairment in the value of investments and other financial assets by providing for the amount of impairment in the Profit & Loss Account.

4 (b) The Company has invested Rs. 1,581.36 lakhs as equity (50% share in equity) and Rs. 20.88 lakhs towards receivable for deputation aggregating to Rs. 1,602.24 lakhs in Hyderabad Expressways Limited (HEL), a jointly controlled entity.

As per the audited financial statements of the HEL as on 31 March 2025, the positive net worth stood at Rs. 7,745.55 lakhs including a loan of Rs. 5,114.52 lakhs advanced to CEL. As per the above paragraph, CEL has a negative net-worth of Rs. 11,513.95 lakhs as on 31 March 2025. Continuing for the reasons stated in the above paragraph, the loan advanced by HEL is in our opinion, doubtful of recovery resulting in reduction of net-worth of HEL to Rs. 2,631.03 lakhs. The Company owns 50% of the equity share capital of HEL and hence the Company share of net-worth in HEL works out to Rs. 1,315.52 lakhs vis-a-vis the exposure of Rs. 1,602.24 lakhs. This result in impairment to an extent of Rs.286.73 Lakhs from out of the investments made in HEL and Receivables due. Ind AS 36 requires the company to provide for this impairment in the value of investments and other financial assets by providing for the amount of impairment in the Profit & Loss Account.

Since the Company has not impaired the cost of investments, debentures, loans granted to jointly controlled entities and trade receivables to an extent of Rs. 4,272.49 lakhs to CEL and Rs.286.73 Lakhs to HEL in its books, the Loss for the year and other Comprehensive Income are understated by the said amount. The Other Equity in the balance sheet is overstated by Rs. 4,559.22 lakhs. Our conclusion on the statement is qualified in respect of the above matters.

Explanation:

There is an income receivable by Cyberabad Expressways Limited (CEL) due from the Government of Telangana/HGCL/HMDA. The company has won the case in Arbitration, Commercial court and two additional cases in Hon’ble High Court of Telangana. Eventhough Section 37 petition is pending in Hon’ble High Court of Telangana, the company is insisting the payment of dues through an Executive Petition in Commercial Court which is pending. The Company further informed that it is confident of winning the case and receive the amount of Rs. 400 Crores (approx.) from the Government of Telangana/HGCL/HMDA. But as there is still an opportunity to the government to further escalate the case in higher legal forums like High Court or Supreme Court, CEL, a Jointly controlled Entity, has not recognized the income as the receipt of funds is contingent in nature. Accordingly, the management has not impaired its cost of investments, loans and receivables from CEL and also from HEL.

Consequent to the erosion in the net worth of CEL, the exposure of the Company to the extent of Rs. 2,725.69 lakhs is required to be impaired fully.

As per the above paragraph, CEL has a negative net-worth of Rs. 11,513.95 lakhs as on 31 March 2025. Continuing for the reasons stated in the above paragraph, the loan advanced by HEL is in our opinion, doubtful of recovery resulting in reduction of net-worth of HEL to Rs. 2,631.03 lakhs. The Company owns 50% of the equity share capital of HEL and hence the Company share of net-worth in HEL works out to Rs. 1,315.52 lakhs vis-a-vis the exposure of Rs. 2,450.39 lakhs.

Since the holding company has not impaired the cost of investments, debentures, loans granted to jointly controlled entities and trade receivables to an extent of Rs. 2,725.69 lakhs to CEL and Rs.1,134.87 lakhs to HEL in its books, the Loss for the year and other Comprehensive Income are understated by the said amount.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Infrastructure is a key enabler in helping India become a US$ 26 trillion economy. Investments in building and
upgrading physical infrastructure, especially in synergy with the ease of doing business initiatives, remain
pivotal to increase efficiency and costs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also recently reiterated that infrastructure
is a crucial pillar to ensure good governance across sectors.

With the launch of the "Infrastructure for the Resilient Island States" initiative in November 2021, India will have
a significant opportunity to improve the lives of other vulnerable nations around the globe.

Road building accelerated in FY22 by government initiatives like the National Infrastructure Pipeline, National
Monetization Pipeline, Bharatmala Pariyojana, modifications to the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), and a quick
pace of asset monetization.

The PM GatiShakti National Master Plan, which includes implementation, monitoring, and support mechanisms,
was approved by the Indian Union Cabinet in October 2021.

For a redesigned, reform-based, and result-linked fresh electricity distribution sector scheme over the next five
years, the government declared Rs. 305,984 crores (US$ 42 billion). The Mega Investment Textiles Parks
(MITRA) scheme was introduced to create seven textile parks over three years and world-class infrastructure for
the textile industry.

The Union Budget & The Infrastructure Sector:

• The government has allocated Rs. 10 lakh crore (US$ 130.57 billion) to improve the infrastructure sector,
giving it a significant boost.

• The National Highways Authority of India received a budget of Rs. 134,015 crores ($17.24 billion) from the
government (NHAI).

• According to the government, The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways will receive an investment of
Rs. 60,000 crores (US$ 7.72 billion)

• The Ministry of Housing and Urban affairs will receive $ 9.85 billion from the Government or Rs. 76,549
Crores.

• To build and improve the nation''s telecom infrastructure, the government gave the Department of
Telecommunications a budget of Rs. 84,587 crores (US$10.87 billion).

Over the next three years, 100 PM-GatiShakti Cargo Terminals for multimodal logistics facilities will be built.
The PM GatiShakti - National Master Plan for multimodal connectivity to economic zones received the majority
of attention. The PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan will integrate everything—from highways to trains, from
aviation to agriculture, and many ministries and departments.

Roadways: Under PM Gati Shakti, two lakh km of national highways are expected to be finished by 2024-25. In
2022-2023, the government plans to add 25,000 kilometres to the National Highways Network. All over the
nation, NH construction is moving along more quickly.

In the road''s sector, the Government''s policy to increase private sector participation has proved to be a boon for
the infrastructure industry as many private players are entering the business through the public-private partnership
(PPP) model.

Infrastructure support to nation''s manufacturers also remains one of the top agendas as it will significantly
transform goods and exports movement making freight delivery effective and economical.

Your Company is exploring new opportunities to identify suitable and viable project or to continue and strengthen
its present business with its existing SPVs keeping in view the current business conditions, financial constraints,
modern technologies, project deadlines, safety protocols, compliances and market margins.

5. We draw your attention to the following qualification to the audit opinion of the financial
statements of Sai Maatarini Tollways Limited, a subsidiary of the Holding Company issued by
an independent firm of Chartered Accountants vide its Report dated 16 May 2024 reproduced
by us as under. (Refer note 48 to the consolidated financial statements)

a. Note 48A(1) regarding settlement agreement entered between the company and NHAI on
30th March 2023.As per the settlement agreement the company and NHAI had agreed for a
termination payment of Rs.96,803 lakhs against all disputes/claims. The settlement amount
of Rs.96,803 Lakhs includes termination payment, interest, claims receivable by the
company net of recoveries by NHAI. The company had received Rs 79,650 lakhs and balance
settlement amount to be received is Rs 17,153 lakhs. However pending settlement with the
lenders, the company continues to recognise Net receivable from NHAI of Rs.98,578 Lakhs
(Net of Rs 79,650 lakhs receipt). Henceforth the expenses (Write off of Receivable) of the
company are understated by Rs. 81,425 lakhs and assets overstated by Rs. 81,425 lakhs.

Explanation:

Since the NHAI has not fully paid the amount as per the settlement agreement dated 30th March, 2023 and
still the balance settlement amount to be received is Rs 17,153 lakhs, hence SMTL has not written off the
receivable.

b. Note 48A(2)(c) to the financial statements regarding non receipt of the confirmations of balances
from banks and financial institutions in respect of borrowings of Rs. 2,11,996.16 Lakhs for the
reasons detailed in the said note. The company had recognized interest expense and other
finance charges during the period amounting to Rs 27,467.33 Lakhs as per existing loan
agreements. We are unable to comment on impact, if any, on loss for the year and the Reserves
had the confirmations been received from the lenders.

Explanation:

Since the accounts of SMTL has become NPA and the lenders have not provided the account statements
for the period ended 31st March, 2024. The lead banker namely IDBI Bank has already filed an application
with NCLT under IBC, 2016 and the matter may be admitted and IRP may be appointed at any time.

c. Note 48A(3) regarding non-recognition of liability towards goods and services Tax (including
interest and penalty) amounting to Rs 12,392 Lakhs in respect of termination payment received
from National Highways Authority of India and other reasons stated in the said note. Pending
the ultimate outcome of this matter, which is presently unascertainable, no adjustments have
been made in the financial statements.

Explanation:

Since the matter is still pending with Commissioner of Appeals and also NHAI has withheld an amount of
around Rs 17,153 lakhs towards the GST liability, SMTL has not recognised the GST liability in its books
of accounts. Further the Company is of the opinion that the GST is not applicable on termination payments
paid/payable by NHAI.

d. Note 48A(4) wherein during the financial year 2022-23, the company has written off a receivable
of Rs.1,011.02 Lakhs from Gayatri Projects Limited and written back trade payable of Rs.2,915.68
Lakhs and claims payable of Rs 22,745 lakhs to Gayatri Projects Limited. However, we have not
received any confirmation from Gayatri Projects Limited for the write off/writeback.

NHAI has terminated the project due to non-completion of the project and non-performance of O&M activities
by the Gayatri Projects Limited (the contractor). As per the settlement agreement with NHAI dated 30.03.2023,
NHAI has not made any payments with respect to above amounts. Hence SMTL has written off and written
back the respective receivables and payables.
