3. Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. There are no any Key Audit Matter to be reported.
4. Emphasis of Matter
a. As per note no. 8, Inventories includes the inventory of Power Evacuation Facilities of Rs. 8.24 Crore, which is carried since last nine years. The management explained that due to change in tariff and no power purchase policy since 2015 in wind energy sector, it could not be sold, the management expect favorable policy from Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) hence carried the inventory at the cost only, as according to them, it can fetch a good price on declaration of the policy.
Same way the land for Windfarm of Rs. 4.75 crore is also carried since 2015 and it is also carried at the cost price as per the above notion. During the year lease land lot 2.20 at Mota Gunda and 4.75 at Vinjalpur costing Rs. 0.55 Crore and Rs. 1.19 Crore has been written off due to rejection of permission by MOD for installation of WTG at require height.
We are of the opinion that, if, there are no favorable policy as expected by the management, there may be a huge reduction possible in the value of the above inventories, resulting in heavy losses.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters.
