Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of the most significance in our audit of the standalone financial
statements for the year ended March 31,2025 These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements
as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters
described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Description of Key Audit Matters

Measurement of Construction Revenue - Refer Note 3(n)

The Key Audit Matters

How the matter was addressed in audit

Revenue from construction contracts represents significant
portion of the total revenue from the operations of the
Company. Revenue from these contracts is recognized
on satisfaction of performance obligation over time in
accordance with the requirements of relevant Indian
accounting standards.

The Company has contracts whose revenue recognition
can be dependent on a high level of judgement over
the percentage of completion. It is based on their best
estimate of the costs to complete, claims and ability to
deliver the contract within the contractual time limit.

The Company's current year revenue from construction
contracts and amount of expenses incurred, arise from
transaction with related parties as well. These related
parties are principally subsidiaries of the Company.

The Company uses an input method based on costs
incurred to measure progress of the projects. Under this
approach, the Company recognises revenue based on
the costs incurred to date relative to the estimated total
costs to complete the performance obligation. Profit is
not recognised until the outcome of the contract is fairly
certain.

Revenues, total estimated contract costs and profit
recognition may deviate significantly from original
estimates based on new knowledge about cost overruns
and changes in project scope over the term of a
construction contract.

Our audit procedures included:

• Obtaining an understanding and consideration of the appropriateness of
the policies in respect of revenue recognition against the criteria in the
Indian accounting standards.

• Evaluated the design and implementation and tested operating effectiveness
of key controls (including IT controls) around the contract price, estimation
of costs to complete management's testing of these attributes.

• Understanding and documenting the contract and other related contractual
provisions including contractually agreed deliverables, termination
rights, penalties for delay, etc to understand the nature and scope of the
arrangements with the customer.

• Assessing key judgements inherent in the estimation of significant
construction contract projects. It includes comparing the stage-of-
completion and costs of completion on significant projects.

• We assessed the estimated costs to complete, variations in contract price
and contract costs and underlying invoices, signed contracts/statements of
work completed for all ongoing projects.

• We understood and documented the Company's process for identifying
related parties and recording related party transactions. We have also
assessed the Company's key controls in relation to the assessment and
approval of related party transactions and examined the Company's
disclosures in respect of the transactions.

• We tested on test check basis, the approvals of the Audit Committee and
Board of Directors for related party transactions.

• We tested samples of manual journals posted to revenue to identify unusual
items.

• We checked adequacy of the disclosures made in Note 46 to the Company's
standalone financial statements are compliant with Ind AS -115..

Assessment of recoverability of investments in subsidiaries - Refer Note 4 (c)

The Key Audit Matters

How the matter was addressed in audit

The Company has significant investments in subsidiaries
which carry out road and other infrastructure projects.

The carrying amount of the investments in subsidiaries
held at cost less impairment as at March 31, 2025 is
Rs.31,299.48 lakhs.

Our audit procedures included:

• We have evaluated the design and implementation and tested the operating
effectiveness of key controls placed around the impairment assessment
process of the recoverability of the investments made including the
estimation of future cash flows forecasts, the process by which they were
produced and discount rates used.

• We have assessed the Company's identification of CGU with reference to
the guidance in the applicable Indian accounting standards..

The Company has investments in subsidiaries which are
considered to be associated with significant risk in respect
of valuation of such investments. Changes in business
environment could also have a significant impact on
the valuation of these investments. These investments
are carried at cost less any diminution in value of such
investments. The investments are examined for impairment
at each reporting date..

• Assessed the net worth of subsidiaries on the basis of latest available
financial statements.

• We focused on the sensitivity in the difference between the estimated
value and book values of the projects, where change in assumptions could
cause the carrying amount to exceed its estimated present value. We also
assessed the historical accuracy of the Company's estimatesestimates

These investments are unquoted and hence it is difficult to
measure the realisable amount of these investments.

The Company performs an annual assessment of its
investments in subsidiaries, to identify any indicators of
impairment. The recoverable amount of the CGUs which
is based on the higher of the value in use or fair value less
costs to sell, has been derived from discounted forecast
cash flow models.

- Comparing the carrying amount of investments with the relevant
subsidiaries balance sheet to identify their net assets, being an
approximation of their minimum recoverable amount. Instances where
the net assets are in excess of their carrying amount and assessed that
those subsidiaries have historically been profit-making.

- For the investments where the carrying amount exceeded the net asset
value, compare the carrying amount of the investment with the expected
value of the business calculated based on discounted cash flows.

These models use several key assumptions, concerning
estimates of future revenue growth and recoveries from
claims filed, concession period, operations costs, the
discount rate and assessments of the status of the project
and cost of complete balance work..

• We focused on key assumptions which were most sensitive to the
recoverable value of the intangible asset. We also assessed the historical
accuracy of the Company's estimates.

We reviewed and assessed the work performed by management's external
valuation experts, including the valuation methodology and the key
assumptions used. We also assessed the competence, capabilities and
objectivity of the experts used by the management in the process of
evaluating impairment model..

Disputed Tax Matters - Refer Note 3(l)

The Key Audit Matters

How the matter was addressed in audit

Tax litigation exposures have been identified as a key audit
matter due to:

• Significance of these amounts.

• Significant judgment and assumptions required by
management in assessing the exposure of each case to
evaluate whether there is a need to set up a provision
and measurement of exposures as well as the disclosure
of contingent liabilities.

Additionally, the treatment of tax litigation requires
significant judgement due to the complexity of the cases
and, timescales for resolution.

Our audit procedures include the following:

• Obtained understanding and assessed the internal control environment
relating to the identification, recognition and measurement of provisions
for disputed tax matters.

• Obtained the summary of disputed tax matters from management
and assessed management's position through discussions on both the
probability of success in significant cases, and the magnitude of any
potential loss.

• Read evidence to corroborate management's assessment of the risk profile
in respect of tax disputed matters.

• We involved tax specialists to assist us in evaluating tax positions taken by
management.

We assessed the disclosures relating to the disputed tax matters as mentioned

in Note 43 of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements..

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 SA's 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(3X0 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 in the standalone financial statements made by
the 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 standalone 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
of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditors'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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone
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 financial statements.
