The Companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to financial statements 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 (ICAI). 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 companyâs 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 Act.

Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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 auditorâs judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
6. A companyâs internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control with reference to financial statements 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 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 companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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 with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Basis for Qualified opinion
8. According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weakness have been identified as at March 31, 201 8:
The Companyâs internal financial controls over use of assumptions for analysis of asset impairments were not operating effectively which could potentially result in the Company not recognizing possible impairment losses.
9. A âmaterial weaknessâ is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control with reference to financial statements, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companyâs annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Qualified Opinion
10. In our opinion, except for possible effects of the material weakness described above, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 201 8, based on the internal control with reference to financial statements 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.
11. We have considered the material weakness identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2018, and the material weakness affects our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company.

Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs 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 control relevant to the Companyâs 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 accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Companyâs 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter
i. We draw attention to note 40 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements, regarding losses being incurred by the Company, defaults in loan and interest payments and material uncertainties faced by various projects in which the Company has made investments, provided guarantees and commitments and/or has undertaken to provide financial assistance. However, these conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. These Ind AS financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis for the reasons stated in the said note.
ii. We draw attention to note 39 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements, regarding material uncertainties being faced by subsidiaries and jointly controlled entity of GVK Energy Limited, a jointly controlled entity of the Company, in which the Company has an investment of Rs. 108,323 lakhs as detailed below:

Limited (GVK Coal), an investee company, as at March 31, 2017 and has undertaken to provide financial assistance of USD 46 million (Rs. 31,104 lakhs) as at June 30, 2016, an entity whose current liabilities exceeds current assets by USD 2,119 million (Rs. 1,432,932 lakhs) as at June 30, 2016 and has incurred loss of USD 122 million (Rs. 83,017 lakhs) for the year ended June 30, 2016 based on unaudited financial statements, is witnessing material uncertainties. The Management believes that for reasons more fully stated in the note the entity would establish profitable operations and no adjustments is required to aforesaid investments, receivables, guarantees and commitments.
The ultimate outcome of the above matters cannot presently be determined, pending approvals, acceptances, restructuring of loans, obtaining additional funds, notification, legal interpretations, resolution of uncertainty around availability of gas and coal and coal prices, ability to establish profitable operations as referred to in the relevant notes to the standalone Ind AS financial statements referred above, accordingly no provision for any liability and/or adjustment that may result has been made in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of the aforesaid matters.

Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone 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 thereunder. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as 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 disclosures in the 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 control relevant to the Company''s preparation of the 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 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.
Basis for qualified opinion
As discussed more fully in Note 31 to the accompanying financial statements, the Hon''ble Supreme Court of India has de-allocated coal mine allocated to GVK Coal (Tokisud) Private Limited, subsidiary company and Nominated Authority has offered compensation of Rs. 11,129 lakhs as against the carrying value of assets of Rs. 34,862 lakhs in books of subsidiary. In the absence of appropriate evidence, we are unable to comment upon recoverability of assets together with consequential impact, if any, arising out of the same in these accompanying financial statements.
Qualified opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above, 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 state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2016, of its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis for the reasons stated in the said note.
ii. We draw attention to note 33 to the financial statements, regarding application made by the Company for the waiver of excess managerial remuneration for the year ended March 31, 2013 amounting to Rs. 21 lakhs paid to a director in excess of the limits prescribed under Schedule XIII of the Companies Act, 1956.

The Management believes that for reasons stated in the note the entity will establish profitable operations and no adjustments is required to aforesaid investments, receivables, guarantees and commitments.
The ultimate outcome of the above matters cannot presently be determined, pending approvals, acceptances, notification, legal interpretations, resolution of uncertainty around availability of gas, coal and coal prices, ability to establish profitable operations as referred to in the relevant notes to the financial statements referred above, accordingly no provision for any liability and/or adjustment that may result has been made in the financial statements.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) To
The Members of GVK Power & Infrastructure Limited
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of GVK Power & Infrastructure Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2016, in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs 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 the 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.
Auditorâs 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 âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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.
An 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 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 internal financial controls 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 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 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 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 the 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.
Qualified Opinion
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weakness has bee identified as at March 31, 2016:
(a) The Company''s internal financial controls over use of assumptions for analysis of asset impairments were not operating effective which could potentially result in the Company not recognising possible impairment losses.
A âmaterial weakness'' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company''s annual or interim financial statements we not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, maintained adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2016 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, and except for the possible effects of the material weakness describe above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 31, 2016.
Explanatory paragraph
We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Indi as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act, the standalone financial statements of GVK Power & Infrastructure Limited, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2016, and the related Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for th year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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.
Basis for qualified opinion
i. As discussed more fully in Note 35 of the accompanying financial
statements, termination notice has been served by a subsidiary involved
in oil & gas activity on Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas
(Ministry) for termination of productions sharing contract. The
Management believes that Ministry will reimburse the said subsidiary
for costs incurred by it and accordingly no adjustment is required to
carrying value of investments and advances aggregating to Rs. 10,161
lakhs. However, in the absence of sufficient appropriate evidence in
this regard, we are unable to comment upon recoverability of such
advances and investment together with consequential impact, if any,
arising out of the same in these Company's financial statements. Our
audit report for previous year was also qualified in respect of this
matter.
ii. As discussed more fully in Note 36 to the accompanying financial
statements, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has de-allocated coal
mine allocated to GVK Coal (Tokisud) Private Limited, subsidiary
company and Nominated Authority has offered compensation of
Rs. 11,129 lakhs as against carrying value of assets of Rs. 35,575
lakhs in books of subsidiary. In the absence of appropriate evidence,
we are unable to comment upon recoverability of assets together with consequential impact, if any, arising out of the same in these
accompanying financial statements.
Qualified opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the
matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above,
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 state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2015, of
its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
i. We draw attention to note 33 to the financial statements regarding
application made by company for the waiver of excess managerial
remuneration for the year's ended March 31,2013 amounting to Rs. 21
lakhs paid to a director in excess of the limits prescribed under
Schedule XIII of the Companies Act, 1956.
ii. We draw attention to note 32 of financial statements, regarding GVK
Coal Singapore Pte. Limited whose net liabilities exceeds net assets by
USD 885 million (Rs. 553,929 lakhs) as at June 30, 2014 and in which
the Company has made investments of Rs. 33,318 lakhs and provided
guarantees and commitments for loans of Rs. 653,448 lakhs borrowed by
GVK Coal Singapore Pte. Limited as at March 31,2015.
iii. As discussed more fully in Note 34 of the accompanying financial
statements, material uncertainties are being faced by subsidiaries of
GVK Energy Limited, one of the subsidiaries of the Company, in which
the Company has an investment of Rs. 108,323 lakhs as detailed below:
a. Uncertainty towards supplies/availability of natural gas to gas
based power generating plants and power projects under construction of
subsidiary companies of subsidiary company, GVK Energy Limited.
b. Uncertainty towards availability of fuel and regulatory approvals
faced by coal plant under construction of subsidiary company of GVK
Energy Limited.
The ultimate outcome of the above matters cannot presently be
determined, pending approvals, acceptances, notification, legal
interpretations and resolution of uncertainty around availability of
gas, coal and coal prices, as referred to in the relevant notes to the
financial statements referred above, accordingly no provision for any
liability and/or adjustment that may result has been made in the
financial statements. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of the
aforesaid matters.

Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial

accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Accounting Standards notifed under the Companies Act, 1956 read with

Corporate Afairs. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control 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.
Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. 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 disclosures in the 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 control relevant to the Company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the efectiveness of the entity''s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufcient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Basis for qualifed opinion
As discussed more fully in Note 36 of the accompanying financial
statements, termination notice has been served by a subsidiary involved
in oil & gas activity on Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas
(Ministry) for termination of productions sharing contract. The
Management believes that Ministry will reimburse subsidiary for costs
incurred by it and accordingly no adjustment is required to carrying
value of investments and advances aggregating to Rs. 17,745 lakhs and
guarantee aggregating to Rs. 813 lakhs made by the Company to
subsidiary. However, in the absence of sufcient appropriate evidence in
this regard, we are unable to comment upon recoverability of such
advances and investment together with consequential impact, if any,
arising out of the same in these Company''s financial statements.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the efects of the matter described

Company as at March 31, 2014;
(b) in the case of the Statement of profit and Loss, of the loss for the
year ended on that date; and
(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the
year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter We draw attention to a. Note 34 to the financial
statements regarding application made by company for the waiver of
excess managerial remuneration for the year''s ended March 31, 2013 and
March 31, 2012 amounting to Rs. 21 lakhs and Rs. 112 lakhs respectively
paid to a director in excess of the limits prescribed under Schedule
XIII of the Companies Act, 1956.
b. Note 35 to the financial statements, regarding uncertainty towards
supplies/availability of natural gas to gas based power generating
plants and power projects under construction of subsidiary companies of
subsidiary company, GVK Energy Limited. Also, during the year, the
subsidiary companies have received the approval of the lead bankers and
also majority of the consortium lenders for additional loans/moratorium
for payments and are confident of receiving approval from the remaining
lenders. The Management is confident of obtaining the requisite gas
allocation/recover fixed charges and accordingly believes that
investments and advances with carrying value of Rs. 108,323 lakhs
(including gas and non-gas based projects) are recoverable in normal
course of business. Further, Management based on its rights under power
purchase agreement to recover capacity charges and receipt of the
approval from majority of the consortium lenders, believes that the
subsidiary companies will continue to be in operation in foreseeable
future despite continued losses.
Pending the final outcome of the Company''s applications in the above

statements. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.
