Company.
The Board of Directors of the Company noted the reply provided by the Associate Company to the auditorsâ
qualifications in the financial statement as on 31st March, 2025 of the Capital Infraprojects Private Limited and the
Board forwards the follows replies based on the reply received from the associate company:
i. We refer Note 30 of the Ind AS Financial Statements regarding "the material uncertainty relating to Going Concern"
- As at March 31, 2025, the current liabilities of the Company exceeded its current assets by Rs.49.34 crore
(31.03.2024: Rs.54.85 crore). After period ended March 31,2025, commitments falling due within a year are towards
redemption of preference shares for Rs.41.46 crore, etc. These conditions along with Company''s inability to raise
funds, with normal business operations being substantially curtailed, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty
and significant doubt about the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the management has
prepared the Financial Statement as Going Concern.
Boardâs Reply:
The management is exploring opportunities for new venture and is engaged in discussions with various parties to
explore joint development opportunities for the real estate projects. In addition to exploring joint development opportunities,
the management team is actively pursuing potential ventures for the development of new real estate project by itself.
The management assures that the Company is a going concern and is actively engaged in commencing new real estate
ventures.
ii. âWe draw attention to Note 8(c) of the lnd AS Financial Statements. As on 31st March, 2025, the Company has
significant Current Liabilities towards unsecured lenders, development rights, customers, etc. ln our view, the
current assets are insufficient to liquidate the current liabilities. Also, Current liability exists towards holders of
Redeemable Preference Shares (RPS). Again, the estimated realizable value of assets is short of RPS liability.
These conditions indicate the existence of uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to
realize its assets adequate enough to discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The ultimate outcome
of these matters ls at present not ascertainable. Accordingly, we are unable to comment on the consequential
impact, if any, on the accompanying lnd AS financial statements."
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
Boardâs Reply:
The management of the company is expected to generate profit by undertaking new/ allied activities to pay off the
current liabilities towards redemption of preference shares. Further, Company with the consent of preference & equity
shareholders extended the time period of redemption of preference shares for a further period of one year. This period
is still subsisiting.

Board has examined the âemphasis of matterâ mentioned in the consolidated audit report on the Consolidated Financial Statement of the Company for the financial year ended 31st March, 2024 w.r.t Capital Infraprojects Private Limited, an Associate Company.
The Board of Directors of the Company noted the reply provided by the Associate Company to the auditorsâ qualifications in the financial statement as on 31st March, 2024 of the Capital Infraprojects Private Limited and the Board forwards the follows replies based on the reply received from the associate company:
1. âRefer Note 31 of the Revised Ind AS Financial statements regarding "the material uncertainty relating to Going Concern" - As at March 31, 2024, the current liabilities of the Company exceeded its current assets by Rs 54.85 crore (previous year Rs 17.39 crore). During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company has incurred loss (before exceptional item) of Rs 9.63 crore and has commitments falling due within a year towards redemption of preference shares for Rs 41.46 crore, etc. These conditions along with Company''s inability to raise funds, with normal business operations being substantially curtailed, losses incurred, and absence of any new business plans indicate the existence of a material uncertainty and significant doubt about the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the management has prepared the Revised Financial Statement as Going Concern."
Boardâs Reply :
Their management is currently exploring opportunities for its next venture and is engaged in discussions with various organizations to explore join development opportunities for the real estate projects. In addition to exploring joint development opportunities, the management team is actively pursuing potential ventures for the development of new real estate projects. The management assures that the Company is a going concern and is actively engaged in commencing new real estate ventures.â
2. "We draw attention to Note 8(c) of the Revised lnd AS Financial Statements. As on 31st March, 2024, the Company has significant Current Liabilities towards unsecured lenders, development rights, customers, etc. ln our view, the current assets are insufficient to liquidate the current liabilities. Also, Current liability exists towards holders of Redeemable Preference Shares (RPS). Again, the estimated realizable value of assets is short of RPS liability. These conditions indicate the existence of uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to realize its assets adequate enough to discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The ultimate outcome of these matters ls at present not ascertainable". Accordingly, we are unable to comment on the consequential impact, if any, on the accompanying Revised lnd AS financial statements."
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
Boardâs Reply:
Their management has expanded the business horizons by undertaking new allied activities and has thus amended the main object clause of the Memorandum of Association in the Extra Ordinary General Meeting held on July 11, 2023 as to include the business of real estate consultancy services , property marketing, real estate brokers, agents, or facilitators in buying, selling, leasing, renting, or otherwise dealing with immovable properties such as residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural or any other type of real estate property or otherwise .
By undertaking the new activities, the company is hopeful that it will generate enough cash flow to meet out its liabilities towards redemption of preference shares.
Keeping in mind time involved in such infusion of fund, and with the consents of the preference shareholders and equity shareholders, the company has extended time period of redemption of preference shares for a further period of three years. This period is still subsisting.
