The auditors emphasized that without considering energy and other claims from the government, current liabilities exceed current assets by ₹87,621.08 lakh. The company is pursuing various subsidy claims with the government, including reimbursement of energy consumed, AP State Electricity Duty paid, and IGST, which will be used to settle recognized liabilities upon receipt.
