Impairment assessment of Company's investments
in and loans to subsidiaries
As at March 31, 2025, the carrying value of the
Company’s investments (in equity shares and capital)
is A 20,661.55 Lakhs and loans given to the wholly
owned subsidiaries, is amounted to A 13,108.77 lakhs.
Above investments in subsidiaries are accounted
at cost (subject to impairment assessment). In
accordance with Ind AS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’,
management assesses at least annually whether there
are any indicators of impairment of the investments.
|
Our audit procedures in relation to impairment
assessment of Company’s investment in and loans to
subsidiaries included the following:

tested the design and operating effectiveness
of the Company’s key controls related to

Key Audit Matter
|
How the matter was addressed in our audit
|
| |
With regards loans given to subsidiaries, Ind AS 109
‘Financial Instruments’ requires the Company to
provide for impairment of its financial assets measured
at amortised cost, if any, using the expected credit loss
(‘ECL’) approach.
Basis such assessment, the Company has not
recognised any impairment allowance during the year
ended March 31, 2025, in respect of investments and
loans given to subsidiaries as described in Note 6 and
48 of the standalone financial statements.
For the purpose of above impairment assessment,
recoverable value has been determined by computing
the value in use of the underlying business. For
determining value in use, discounted cash flow
projections are used which involves significant
estimates, assumptions and judgement of long¬
term financial projections. Considering significant
estimates and management judgement involved,
impairment assessment is determined as a key audit
matter.
|
A A AAA
|
We have obtained and discussed with
management and evaluated the keyjudgements/
assumptions underlying management’s
assessment of potential indicators of impairment.
Where potential indicators of impairment
were identified, we evaluated management’s
impairment assessments and assumptions
around the key drivers of the cash flow forecasts
by comparing them to the approved budgets and
our understanding of the internal and external
factors. We also assessed the reasonableness of
the forecasts by comparing the same to past
results and other supporting evidence.
We obtained and assessed the sensitivity analysis
made by the management on key assumptions
used for impairment assessment.
We compared the carrying values of the
investments and loans to subsidiaries and step-
down subsidiaries with their respective net
assets values and earnings for the period.
We evaluated the disclosures made in the
standalone financial statements for compliance
with the requirements of Ind AS 36 ‘Impairment
of Assets’, Ind AS 109 ‘Financial Instruments’ and
Ind AS 107 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’.

Evaluation of procedure for recognizing the
revenue from sale of power
The company has adopted the procedure for
recognizing the revenue from sale of power as unbilled
revenue at the initial stage on monthly basis and once
the confirmation is received from the customer and
the regulatory authority in respect of the actual units
of electricity transmitted, the company raises invoice
to the client and the same is adjusted against the
unbilled revenue booked earlier.
|
Our audit procedures in relation to recognition
and measurement of revenue from sale of power
included the followings:
? We have obtained the Actual Invoice raised by
the company after receipt of the confirmation
from the regulatory authority and the
customers, Certificate of share of electricity
generated by Solar Power plants issued by the
GETCO - State Load Dispatch Centre on monthly
basis, Calculations of transmission Loss of solar
energy on monthly basis issued by the Electricity
company to the client.
? We have matched the documents and correlate
the same with the unbilled revenue booked on
monthly basis. The unbilled revenue appearing
as on 31St March 2025 would be offset only
after the receipt of the above documentary
evidences from the respective authorities and
the customers which would be settled in the
subsequent F.Y. and to that extent there is the
possibility that the revenue booked as unbilled
revenue can be varied.

responsible for the preparation of the other information.

and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the accompanying Standalone Ind
AS Financial Statements does not cover the other

conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the accompanying

whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements or
our knowledge obtained during the course of our

inconsistent.

that there is material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have
nothing to report in this regard.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT,
BOARD OF DIRECTOR AND THOSE
CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR
THE STANDALONE IND AS FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The Company’s management and Board of Directors
are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5)
of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act”) with respect to
the preparation of these standalone Ind AS 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 the maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provision of
the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company
and for preventing and detecting the frauds and other
irregularities; selection and application of appropriate
implementation and maintenance of 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
Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone Ind AS 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 management either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors and those charged with
Governance are also responsible for overseeing the
company’s financial reporting process.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 with reference to standalone Ind
AS 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 in the standalone
Ind AS financial statements made by management
and the Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management
and Board of Directors 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 standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether
the standalone Ind AS financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in
the standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS 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 governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the standalone
Ind AS 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.
