Auditor qualification and going concern note
The statutory auditors issued a qualified opinion on both standalone and consolidated financial statements. The qualification relates to the going concern basis of preparation, noting that an application for initiation of corporate insolvency resolution process was admitted by the National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai vide order dated October 1, 2019 under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The qualification has been recurring since December 31, 2024. The company states it is awaiting business licences and clearances to commence operations and has prepared its financial statements on a going concern basis.
The auditors also noted that due to an inadvertent typographical error, a form filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs reflected public shareholding as 1,51,737 equity shares instead of 1,51,661 equity shares as specified in the NCLT order dated August 9, 2024. The company has initiated corrective measures with the MCA, and the discrepancy has been rectified in the financial statements. The paid-up equity share capital remains at ₹279.37 lakh with a face value of ₹10.00 per share across all reported periods.
