AUDITOR'S REPORT

You can view full text of the latest Director's Report for the company.
Year End :2026-03 

We have audited the standalone financial statements of Gateway Distriparks Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the
Company"), which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31,2026, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the
statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for
the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of material accounting
policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible
effects of the matter described in the 'Basis for Qualified Opinion' section of our report, the aforesaid standalone
financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act") in the
manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2026, its profit including other comprehensive income,
its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

We draw attention to Note 26(D)(f) to the accompanying standalone financial statements regarding the Company's
assessment of certain regulatory proceedings involving orders received under the Prohibition of Benami Property
Transactions Act, 1988, and related advances of Rs. 866.25 lakhs paid in respect of proposed acquisition of land
parcels which are currently under attachment and held as benami property by the Adjudicating Tax Authority. Having
regard to the status of the matter as more fully discussed in that note, we are unable to comment on the provisions,
if any, that may be required related to recovery of said advances and/or potential consequences in respect of the
proceedings in these standalone financial statements. Our audit report for the previous year ended March 31,2025
was also qualified in respect of this matter.

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs),
as specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in
the 'Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements' section of our report. We are
independent of the Company in accordance with the 'Code of Ethics' issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter - Service Exports from India Scheme ('SEIS') Benefits

We draw attention to Note 26(B)(g) to the accompanying standalone financial statements which describes
the proceedings relating to demand orders/ notices of Rs. 18,409.94 lakhs received by the Company from the
Commissioner of Customs and Additional Director General of Foreign Trade, challenging the SEIS benefits availed
by the Company for financial years 2015-16 to 2018-19 under the provisions of Foreign Trade (Development and
Regulation) Act, 1992.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of
the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the 'Basis for Qualified
Opinion' section we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated
in our report. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that
context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the standalone
financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included
the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement
of the standalone financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed
to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone financial
statements.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue recognition (as described in Note 16 and 2.2(g) of the standalone financial statements)

For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company has
recognized revenue from operations of Rs. 1,57,771.88
lakhs.

Revenue from rendering of container transportation and
handling services is recognized based on containers
transported/handled and is accrued with reference to
the throughput handled, the terms of the agreement
for such service where the recovery of consideration
is probable and the stage of services, in accordance
with the requirements of Ind AS 115 'Revenue from
Contracts with Customers'.

The tariff applied is the rate agreed with customers or
estimated by management based on the latest terms of
the agreement or latest negotiation with customers and
other industry considerations.

Due to the large variety and complexity of contractual
terms, as well as ongoing negotiations with customers,
significant judgements are required to estimate the
tariff rates applied. If the actual rate differs from the
estimated rate applied, this will have an impact on the
accuracy of revenue recognized in the current year and
accrued as at year end.

Revenue is also an important element of how the
Company measures its performance, upon which the
management is incentivized. The Company focuses on
revenue as a key performance measure, which could
create an incentive for revenue to be recognized before
meeting the requirements of revenue recognition under
Ind AS 115.

Accordingly, due to significant risk associated with
revenue recognition, it was determined to be a key
audit matter in our audit of the standalone financial
statements.

Our audit procedures, among others included the

following:

• We assessed the Company's revenue recognition
accounting policies including those related to
discounts and rebates and ensured that same are in
compliance with the Indian Accounting Standards
(Ind AS).

• We assessed the Company's revenue recognition
policy and its compliance in terms of Ind AS 115
'Revenue from contracts with customers'.

• We understood, evaluated the design and tested
the operating effectiveness of key controls related
to revenue recognition.

• We selected and tested samples of individual
revenue transaction and traced the same to
underlying invoices, customer agreements and
other related documents to assess that the revenue
has been recognized as per the tariff agreed/latest
correspondence with the customer.

• We also tested samples of revenue transactions
made before and after the year end and compared
the period of revenue recognition to supporting
documentation to ensure that revenue and
corresponding trade receivables are properly
recorded in the correct period.

• We verified the bank advices and credit notes on a
sample basis for the net settlement and reviewed
aged items for any disputed amounts.

• We tested underlying documentation for journal
entries which were considered to be material
related to revenue recognition.

Litiqation. arbitrations, claims and other contingencies (as described in Note 26(B) and (D) of the standalone

financial statements)

As of March 31, 2026, the Company is subject to
various contingencies relating to tax and legal matters,
including pending litigations and other exposures.
Taxation, arbitration and litigation exposures have been
identified as a key audit matter due to the large number
of complex tax and legal claims across the Company.
Due to complexity of cases, timescales for resolution
and need to negotiate with various authorities, there
is significant judgement required by management in
assessing the exposure of each case and thus a risk
that such cases may not be adequately provided for or
disclosed in the standalone financial statements.
Accordingly, litigations, arbitrations, claims and
contingent liabilities was determined to be a key
audit matter in our audit of the standalone financial
statements.

Our audit procedures, among others included the

following:

• We obtained an understanding of the process of
identification of claims, litigations, arbitrations and
contingent liabilities, and evaluated the design and
tested the operating effectiveness of key controls.

• We obtained the legal and tax cases summary
and assessed management's position through
discussions with the legal head, tax head and
management, on both the probability of success
in significant cases, and the magnitude of any
potential loss.

• We obtained direct confirmation from company's
external legal counsel and conducted discussions
with them regarding material cases. We evaluated
the objectivity, independence, competence and
relevant experience of third-party legal counsel.

• We obtained external legal opinions and other
evidence to corroborate management's assessment
of the risk profile in respect of legal claims.

• We involved our tax specialists to assess
management's application and interpretation of tax
legislation affecting the Company, and to consider
the quantification of exposures and settlements
arising from disputes with tax authorities.

• We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in the
standalone financial statements with regard to the
facts and circumstances of the legal and litigation
matters.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Impairment of Goodwill (as described in note 4 of the standalone financial statements)

The Company's balance sheet includes Rs. 30,296.53
lakhs of goodwill. In accordance with Ind AS, these
balances are allocated to Cash Generating Units
(CGUs) which are tested annually for impairment using
discounted cashflow models of each CGU's recoverable
value compared to the carrying value of the assets. A
deficit between the recoverable value and the CGU's net
assets would result in impairment.

The inputs to the impairment testing model which have
the most significant impact on CGU recoverable value
include:

• Projected revenue growth, operating margins and
operating cash-flows in the years 1 to 5;

• Stable long-term growth rates till perpetuity; and

• Business specific discount rates (pre-tax).

The annual impairment testing is considered a
significant accounting judgement and estimate and a
key audit matter because the assumptions on which the
tests are based are highly judgmental and are affected
by future market and economic conditions which are
inherently uncertain, and because of the materiality of
the balances to standalone financial statements as a
whole.

Our audit procedures, among others included the

following:

• We assessed the Company's methodology applied
in determining the CGUs to which the goodwill is
allocated.

• We assessed the assumptions used by the
management for cash flow forecasts including
discount rates, expected growth rates and terminal
growth rate used.

• We assessed the recoverable value by performing
sensitivity testing of key assumptions used.

• We discussed potential changes in the key
assumptions as compared to the previous year /
actual performance with management in order to
evaluate whether the inputs and assumptions used
in the cash flow forecasts were suitable.

• We tested the arithmetical accuracy of the cash
flow model prepared by the management.

• We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in the
standalone financial statements.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's
report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect
to the preparation of these standalone 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
(Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015
as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the

provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and
other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates
that are reasonable and prudent; and the 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 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 financial statements, management is 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.

Those Charged with Governance are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 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 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 control 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 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 made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's 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
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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• 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 financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026
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.
