Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income),
Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and Standalone
Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and
notes to the standalone financial statements, including
material accounting policies and other explanatory

In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, and based on
the consideration of report of other auditor on separate
audited financial information of jointly controlled
operation, the aforesaid standalone financial statements
give the information required by the Companies Act,
2013 (âthe Actâ) in the manner so required and give a true
and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting
Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read
with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015, as amended (âInd ASâ) and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, and its total
comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other
comprehensive income), its changes in equity and its cash
flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
(SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the âAuditorâs Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Standalone Financial Statementsâ 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 (âICAIâ) together with
the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the standalone financial statements under the provisions
of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence obtained by us and by other
auditors referred to in the âOther Mattersâ paragraph
below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements for the year ended March
31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have
determined the matters described below to be the key
audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Information Other than the Standalone
Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report
Thereon
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors
are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in
the annual report, but does not include the financial
statements and auditorâs report thereon. The annual report
is expected to be made available to us after the date of this
auditor''s report.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial
statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there
is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance
and describe actions applicable under the applicable laws
and regulations.
Responsibilities of Management and Board
of Directors for the standalone financial
statements
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the
Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view of
the financial position, financial performance and other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the
Indian Accounting Standards (âIND ASâ) specified
under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also
includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding
of 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 statement
that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the
Management and Board of Directors are responsible for
assessing the Companyâs 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 Board of Directors either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so. The Board of Directors are also
responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial
reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the standalone financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditorâs 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 standalone financial statements.
We give in âAnnexure Aâ a detailed description of
Auditorâs responsibilities for Audit of the standalone
financial statements.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial information of one jointly
controlled operation (dissolved w.e.f January 9, 2025)
included in the standalone financial statements of the
Company, whose financial statements reflect total
revenues of H 0.04 Million, total net profit/(loss) after
tax of H (0.04) Million and total comprehensive income
of H (0.04) Million for the period ended April 1, 2024
to January 9, 2025 (being its date of dissolution), and
cash flows (net) of H 0.48 Million for the period then
ended. The financial information of this jointly controlled
operation has been audited by other auditor whose report
has been furnished to us by the Management, and our
opinion on the standalone financial statements (including
other information) in so far relates to the amounts and
disclosures included in respect of this jointly controlled
operation, is based solely on the report of other auditor.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter
with respect to our reliance on the work done and the
reports of the other auditors.

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of H.G. Infra Engineering Limited (âthe Companyâ), which includes two jointly controlled operations consolidated on a proportionate basis (Refer Note 51 to standalone financial statements), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and Standalone Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the âstandalone financial statementsâ).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (âInd ASâ) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, and its total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income), its changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the âAuditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone financial statementsâ 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 (âICAIâ) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and the audit evidence obtained by other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in âOther Mattersâ paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
|
Key Audit Matter |
Our audit procedures in respect of this area included the following: |
|
1. Estimation of contract cost and revenue recognition. (Refer to Note 1 (iv) (i), 2 (c), 29 and 52) of the Standalone Financial Statements) Revenue from construction contracts is recognised over a period of time in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 115 âRevenue from Contracts with Customersâ. The contract revenue amounts to H 50,695.19 million for engineering, procurement and construction contracts, which usually extends over a period of 2-3 years, and the contract prices are fixed and, in few cases, subject to clauses with price variances and variable consideration. In accordance with Input method prescribed under Ind AS 115 âRevenue from Contracts with Customersâ, the contract revenue is measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total costs. This method requires the Company to perform an initial assessment of total estimated cost and reassess the total construction cost at the end of each reporting period to determine the appropriate percentage of completion. |
i. Evaluated the accounting policy for revenue recognition and assessed compliance of the policy with the principles enunciated under Ind AS 115 - âRevenue from Contracts with Customerâ. ii. Understood and evaluated the design and implementation and tested the operating effectiveness of key internal financial controls, including those related to review and approval of estimated costs and review of provision for foreseeable losses, if any, by the authorised representatives. iii. We obtained the revenue workings (percentage of completion calculations) from the Companyâs management, for all contracts, containing actual costs incurred, estimated costs (comprising of actual costs and remaining costs to completion), estimated contract revenue and actual revenues recognised during the year based on proportion of actual costs to estimated costs. For sample of contracts, we agreed contract revenue with key contractual terms, agreed actual costs with system generated reports and agreed estimated costs with costs sheets for individual contracts approved by the authorised representatives. |
|
Key Audit Matter |
Our audit procedures in respect of this area included the following: |
|
The estimation of total cost to complete the contract involves significant judgement and estimation throughout the period of contract, as it is subject to revision as the contract progresses - based on latest available information including physical work done on the ground, changes in cost estimates and need to accrue provision for onerous contracts, if any. Besides recognition of revenues based on actual costs and estimated costs to complete the work, at the period end, the measurement and recognition of contract assets (unbilled revenue) and contract liabilities (unearned revenue) related to each of the contracts is also dependent on cost estimates. In view of above, we have considered the estimation of construction contract costs as a key audit matter. |
Reperformed the calculation of revenues during the year using proportion of actual costs to estimated costs and compared the results with workings provided by the Company. iv. For actual costs incurred during FY 2023-24, we tested the samples to appropriate supporting documents. v. To validate the remaining costs to completion, for sample contracts, we obtained the approved costs sheets (for each of such sample contracts) containing the breakdown of such costs. Evaluated the reasonableness of managementâs judgements and assumptions through comparison of actual margins during the year with base margins estimated at the beginning, comparison between financial progress (proportion of actual costs to estimated costs) and physical progress certified by the Independent Engineer, past trends of recovery of price escalation with incremental costs incurred and comparison of actual costs within similar contracts. vi. Assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made in standalone financial statements in compliance with the requirements of Ind AS 115 âRevenue from Contracts with Customersâ. |
|
2. Valuation of accounts receivable and contract assets in view of risk of credit losses. (Refer Note 1 (ix), 39(i), 7, 11 and 15 - Trade Receivables and Note 16(a) for contract asset to Standalone Financial Statements) Accounts receivable and Contract assets are significant items in the Company''s standalone financial statements aggregating to H 19,725.29 million as of March 31, 2024 and provision for impairment of receivables and contract assets amounted to H 571.99 millions as at March 31, 2024. The Company has a concentration of credit exposure on certain customers, which include government and private organisations, where there are delays in collections due to various reasons. The management periodically assess the adequacy of provisions recognised, as applicable, on receivables and contract assets, based on factors such as credit risk of the customer, status of the project, discussions with the customers and underlying contractual terms and conditions. This involves significant judgement. Given the relative significance of these receivables and contract assets to the standalone financial statements and the nature and extent of audit procedures involved to assess the recoverability of receivables and contract assets, we determined this to be a key audit matter. |
i. Understood and evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key internal financial controls in relation to determination of expected credit loss. ii. Obtained confirmation from parties, for sample balances, with respect to outstanding balances. Wherever confirmations are not received for the samples, performed alternate procedures through verification of Companyâs invoices approved by the respective customers which represents acknowledgement of work delivered. iii. Performed inquiry procedures with senior management of the Company regarding status of collectability of the receivable and contract assets. iv. In respect of material contract balances, corroborated our inquiry procedures with the correspondence between the Company and the customers, contracts and other documents. v. Assessed the inputs used by the Management to determine the amount of allowances by considering factors such as credit risk of the customer, cash collections, past history and status of the project, and correspondence with customers. vi. Presented the results of our work done to the audit committee. vii. Assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made in the standalone financial statements in this regard. |
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditorâs report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditorâs report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and describe actions applicable under the applicable laws and regulations.
Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors for the standalone financial statements
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (âIND ASâ) specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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 statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Companyâs 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 Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board Annual Report 2023-24
of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorâs 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 standalone financial statements.
We give in âAnnexure Aâ a detailed description of Auditorâs responsibilities for Audit of the standalone financial statements.
1. We did not audit the Companyâs share in two jointly controlled operations included in the standalone financial statements of the Company, which reflects total assets of H 2.36 millions as at March 31,2024, and total revenues of H 11.36 millions, total net profit after tax of H (0.05) million and total comprehensive income of H (0.05) million for the year ended March 31,2024, and cash outflows (net) of H (0.05) million for the year then ended. The financial statements of these jointly controlled operations have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management, and our opinion on the standalone financial statements (including other information) in so far relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these Jointly controlled operations, is based solely on the report of other auditors.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports of the other auditors.

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of H.G. Infra Engineering Limited ("the Company"), which includes three jointly controlled operations consolidated on a proportionate basis (Refer note 51 to Standalone Financial Statements), which comprises the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and the Standalone Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the "standalone financial statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, its total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income), its changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone 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 ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us, and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in "Other Matters" paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter |
Our audit procedures in respect of this area included the following: |
|
1. Estimation of contract cost and revenue recognition. (Refer to note 1 (F) (i), 2 (d), 29 and 52) of the Standalone Financial Statements) Revenue from construction contracts is recognised over a period of time in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 115, ''Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The contract revenue amounts to H43,071.01 million for engineering, procurement and construction contracts, which usually extends over a period of 2-3 years, and the contract prices are fixed and, in few cases, subject to clauses with price variances and variable consideration. |
i. Evaluated the accounting policy for revenue recognition and assessed compliance of the policy with the principles enunciated under Ind AS 115 - ''Revenue from Contracts with Customer. ii.

Key Audit Matter |
Our audit procedures in respect of this area included the following: |
|
n accordance with Input method prescribed under Ind AS 115, the contract revenue is measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total costs. This method requires the Company to perform an initial assessment of total estimated cost and reassess the total construction cost at the end of each reporting period to determine the appropriate percentage of completion. The estimation of total cost to complete the contract involves significant judgement and estimation throughout the period of contract, as it is subject to revision as the contract progresses -based on latest available information including physical work done on the ground, changes in cost estimates and need to accrue provision for onerous contracts, if any. Besides recognition |

We obtained the revenue workings (percentage of completion calculations) from the Company''s management, for all contracts, containing actual costs incurred, estimated costs (comprising of actual costs and remaining costs to completion), estimated contract revenue and actual revenues recognised during the year based on proportion of actual costs to estimated costs. For sample of contracts, we agreed contract revenue with key contractual terms, agreed current year''s actual costs with system generated reports and agreed estimated costs with costs sheets for individual contracts approved by the authorised representatives. Reperformed the calculation of revenues during the year using proportion of actual costs to estimated costs and compared the results with workings provided by the Company. |

The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Director''s Report, Corporate Governance Report and Other Information included in the Annual Report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the 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.
Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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 statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, Management and Board of Directors are 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 Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 standalone financial statements.

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 control 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 with reference to standalone financial statements 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 standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone 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.
13. We did not audit the standalone financial statements of 3 jointly controlled operations included in the standalone financial statements of the Company, which constitute total assets of ''54.65 Million and net assets of ''3.24 Million as at March 31, 2022, total revenue of ''50.98 Million, total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income) of ''0.15 Million and net cash outflows amounting to ''0.31 Million for the year then ended. These financial statements and other financial information have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management, and our opinion on the standalone financial statements (including other information) in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these jointly controlled operationsis based solely on the reports of such other auditors.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statements
6. A company''s internal financial controls with reference to standalone 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 company''s internal financial controls 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 company''s assets that could have a material effect on the standalone financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone 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 controls 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.
Opinion
8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to standalone financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements 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.
