Auditor Report of Gujarat Industries Power Company Ltd.

Mar 31, 2025

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of
Gujarat Industries Power Company Limited ("the Company"),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31^st March, 2025, the
Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement
of Cash Flows for the year then ended and Notes to the 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, the aforesaid financial statements
give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the
"Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view
in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed
under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and
other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the
state of affairs of the Company as at 31^st March, 2025, the profit
and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash
flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section

143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities
under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 independence
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Financial
Statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013
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
opinion on the Financial Statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the 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:

Sr. No.	Key Audit Matter	Auditor''s Response
1.	Litigations and Claims (Refer to note 3(xvii), 4(i) and 44 to the financial statements) Litigation and claims are pending with multiple tax and regulatory authorities and there are claims from vendors/suppliers and employees which have not been acknowledged as debt by the Company. In the normal course of business, financial exposures may arise from pending legal/regulatory proceedings and from above referred claims not acknowledged as debt by the Company. Whether a claim needs to be recognized as liability or disclosed as contingent liability in the financial statements is dependent on a number of significant assumptions and judgments. The amounts involved are potentially significant and determining the amount, if any, to be recognised or disclosed in the financial statements, is inherently subjective. We have considered litigations and claims as Key Audit Matter as it requires significant management judgement, including accounting estimates that involves high estimation uncertainty.	Principal Audit Procedures • Our audit procedures included understanding the current status of disputed tax matters and other litigations and claims and discussing selected matters with the entity''s management. • Evaluation and testing of the design of internal controls followed by the Company relating to litigations and claims, open tax positions and process followed to decide provisioning or disclosure as Contingent Liabilities; • Critically assessing the entity assumptions and estimates in respect of claims, included in the contingent liabilities disclosed in the financial statements. Assessment of the probability of negative result of litigation and the reliability of estimates of related obligation.

Information other than the Financial Statement and Auditor''s
Report thereon

The Company''s Management and Board of Directors is
responsible for the preparation of the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in
Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report including
Annexure to that Board''s Report, Business Responsibility and
sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s
Information, but does not include the financial statements and
our auditor''s report thereon. The Management Discussion
and Analysis, Board''s Report, Business Responsibility and
sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s
Information are expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditor''s report. Any material misstatement thereon
pertaining to it, will be reported thereon.

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during
our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that
there is a material misstatement of this other information, we
are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard.

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

The Company''s Management and Board of Directors is responsible
for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act,
2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance including other comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified
under Section 133 of the Act. 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 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;

In preparing the 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;

The Management and Board of Directors are also responsible for
overseeing the company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the 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 financial
statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible
for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has
adequate internal financial controls system 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 Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the 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 financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the
Company of which we are the independent auditors 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 financial statements of the current
period 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.

of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the Financial Statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 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:

Sr. No.	Key Audit Matter	Auditor''s Response
1.	Litigations and Claims (Refer to note 3(xvii), 4(i) and 44 to the financial statements) Litigation and claims are pending with multiple tax and regulatory authorities and there are claims from vendors/ suppliers and employees which have not been acknowledged as debt by the Company. In the normal course of business, financial exposures may arise from pending legal/regulatory proceedings and from above referred claims not acknowledged as debt by the Company. Whether a claim needs to be recognized as liability or disclosed as contingent liability in the financial statements is dependent on a number of significant assumptions and judgments. The amounts involved are potentially significant and determining the amount, if any, to be recognised or disclosed in the financial statements, is inherently subjective. We have considered litigations and claims as Key Audit Matter as it requires significant management judgement, including accounting estimates that involves high estimation uncertainty.	Principal Audit Procedures • Our audit procedures included understanding the current status of disputed tax matters and other litigations and claims and discussing selected matters with the entity''s management. • Evaluation and testing of the design of internal controls followed by the Company relating to litigations and claims, open tax positions and process followed to decide provisioning or disclosure as Contingent Liabilities; • Critically assessing the entity assumptions and estimates in respect of claims, included in the contingent liabilities disclosed in the financial statements. Assessment of the probability of negative result of litigation and the reliability of estimates of related obligation.

Information other than the Financial Statement and Auditor''s Report thereon

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report including Annexure to that Board''s Report, Business Responsibility and sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report, Business Responsibility and sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report. Any material misstatement thereon pertaining to it, will be reported thereon.

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

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

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. 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 design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of th e accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;

In preparing the 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;

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 1 43(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system 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 Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the 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 financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company of which we are the independent auditors 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 financial statements of the current period 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.

Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI"). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 201 3.

Auditors'' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the, "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act,201 3 to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of standalone Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31^st March, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Gujarat Industries Power Company Limited ("the Company") as of 31^st March, 201 7 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date. Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI"). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditors'' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(ICAI) and the Standards on Auditing issued by ICAI deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A Company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of standalone Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company''s assets that could have a material effect on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31^st March, 2017, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
