Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
The Board of Directors of the Company 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 auditorâs report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditorâs report.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial statements or our knowledge obtained
during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the
matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibility of Management for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the
âActâ) 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 Ind AS 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 the assets of the Company and for preventing
and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgements 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
standalone financial statement 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 and Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Companyâs Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 judgement 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 the managementâs use of the
going concern basis of accounting in preparation of Standalone
Financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companyâs
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in
our auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
⢠Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding
the financial information of the Company and its joint
operations to express an opinion on the Standalone Financial
Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the audit of the financial statements of
such entities or business activities included in the Standalone
Financial Statements of which we are the independent
auditors. For the other entities or business activities included
in the Standalone Financial Statements, which have been
audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of
the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible
for our audit opinion.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Ind AS
Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes
it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the Standalone 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.
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 auditorâs 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.

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 judgement 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 Standalone 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 the management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of Standalone Financial statements 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.
⢠Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the Company and its joint operations to express an opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities or business activities included in the Standalone Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities or business activities included in the Standalone Financial Statements, which have been audited
by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
Ind AS Financial Statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions
of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone
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.
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 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.

Independent Auditors'' Report
To The Members of Patel Engineering Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial
Statements of Patel Engineering Limited ("the Company") and
its joint operations, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at
31st March 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including
the of Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes
in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then
ended, and Notes to Standalone Financial statements, including ;
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information, these also include financials of the Real Estate
Division Branch of the company for the year ended on that date
audited by the branch auditor of the company''s branch located
in Mumbai (hereinafter referred to as "Standalone Financial
Statements")
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according
to the explanations given to us, 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
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 31st March, 2023, and its profit including
other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash
flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statement in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) 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 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 (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the Standalone 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 audit opinion on the Standalone
Financial Statements.
The independent Branch Auditors of Patel Engineering Limited
(Real Estate Division) ("the Division"), have without qualifying
their audit report dated 15th May, 2023 on the Standalone
Ind AS financial statement of the Division for the year ended
March 31, 2023 have drawn attention to the Note regarding
Company''s investment and given loans and advances to
Waterfront Developers Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, where
notice dated 4th June 2015 was received from Government of
Mauritius for the termination of lease agreement entered on
11th December, 2009 with Les Salines Development Limited (a
Step-down subsidiary of Waterfront). In this case the process of
arbitration with the Government of Mauritius has been completed
during the year and management of the branch is expecting the
favorable order for the same.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements for the financial year ended
31st March, 2023. 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. For each matter below, our
description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in
that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key
audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled
the responsibilities described in the Auditors'' 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.
Information Other than the Standalone 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 other information is expected to be made available
to us after the date of the 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 the other information is
materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial statements
or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Responsibility of Management for the Standalone
Financial Statements
The Company''s Management and 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, changes in equity and cash flows of the
Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards
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 judgment
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 statement
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, the
Management is responsible for assessing the Company''s ability tc
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 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 Ind AS 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 the management''s use
of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of
Standalone Financial statements 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 Ind AS 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 Ind
AS Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate,
makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the Standalone 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.
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, 2023 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.

'' (2.06) Millions and total comprehensive income of
'' (2.06) Millions for the year ended March 31, 2023.
These unaudited financial statements and other unaudited

the management. Our opinion, in so far as it relates
amounts and disclosures included in respect of this joint
operation, and our report in terms of sub-section (3) and
(11) of Section 143 of the Act including report on other

i. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
ii. 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
iii. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
7. 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
8. 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 March 31, 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.
Other Matter
9. We did not audit the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Independent Branch âPatel Engineering Limited (Real Estate Division). The internal financial control over financial reporting of this Branch has been audited by their independent auditor whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion in so far as it relates to the internal financial control over financial reporting included in respect to Branch, is based solely on the report of their auditor.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Patel Engineering Limited (âthe Company") as of March 31, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. 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, 2013.
Auditors'' Responsibility
3. 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 âGuidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing 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 ICAI.

4. 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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. 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
6. 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 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
i. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
ii. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of standalone 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
iii. 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 financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial
Reporting
7. 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
8. 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 March 31, 2016, 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.
