The auditors noted that capital expenditure of ₹115.76 lakh for exploration activities related to a proposed joint venture with Chhattisgarh Mineral Development Corporation (CMDIC) was recognized as Work-in-Progress – Exploration, though they suggested it should be classified under Other Non-Current Assets.
