During the financial year under review, the Company continued
its operations in the areas of urban infrastructure, real estate
development, and strategic investments. The Company
recorded revenue from operations of approximately H 27.2
crore on a consolidated basis for the year ended 31st March
2025. However, it incurred a net loss of H 8.56 crore, primarily
on account of reduced operating revenues and increased
expenses during the period.
The Company faced continued challenges in sustaining
operating margins due to market volatility, limited scale of
operations, and constrained liquidity across the real estate
sector. The financial performance reflected a year-on-year
decline in profitability compared to the previous fiscal. Key
profitability ratios such as Return on Equity (ROE) and Earnings
Per Share (EPS) remained negative, indicating subdued returns
and erosion of shareholder value in the short term.
Despite these challenges, the Company has maintained
a conservative capital structure with negligible long-term
borrowings and a healthy debt-to-equity ratio, reflecting
prudent financial management. The net worth of the Company
continues to remain stable, backed by tangible assets and
long-term investments.
Consequent to the close of the financial year, the Company
on 23rd April 2025 acquired 56.01% equity stake in Optimus
Oncology Private Limited for a total consideration of ?54.73
Crores and, on the same day, also acquired 52% equity stake
in Biohygea Global Private Limited for a total consideration
of ?7 Crores. Pursuant to these acquisitions, both Optimus
Oncology Private Limited and Biohygea Global Private Limited
have become material subsidiaries of the Company with effect
from 23rd April 2025.
The equity shares of the Company are listed on BSE and NSE.
As of March 31, 2025, the market capitalization of the Company
stood at approximately H 570.28 crore. The stock traded in the
range of H 19 to H 39 per share during the year, reflecting investor
sentiment and overall market dynamics.
Looking ahead, the Company remains committed to optimizing
its existing assets, strengthening operational efficiency, and
exploring new growth opportunities in line with its long-term
strategic vision. Management continues to focus on improving
financial performance, enhancing shareholder value, and
ensuring long-term sustainability of business operations.

granted to two of its subsidiaries and two of its erstwhile
subsidiaries (currently related parties) wherein the schedule
of repayment of principal has not been stipulated and in the
absence of such schedule, we are unable to comment on
the amount overdue.
(d) None of the advances in the nature of loans granted by
the Company have fallen due during the year except
w.r.t. unsecured Loans granted to two of its subsidiaries/
two of its erstwhile subsidiaries (currently related parties)
wherein the schedule of repayment of principal has not
been stipulated and in the absence of such schedule, we
are unable to comment on the amount due.
The Company had extended the loans for supporting the
operational/ financial needs of these entities and overall benefit
of the Group. At the time of extending the loans, these entities
were subsidiaries of the Companies, and no new loans were
granted post these entities ceasing to be subsidiaries on
account of restructuring.
Since these loans were granted as a financial support to these
entities, the schedule of repayment are not defined. The
Management of the Company is in constant discussion with
these entities, and once the cashflows of these entities are
regular, the repayment of the loan shall also commence.
With respect to loan given to HHT, HHT is a 100% subsidiary
of PVP Ventures Limited. PVP Ventures Limited has
advanced loans to repay the debt takeover on account of
acquisition of HHT.
(e) The Company has not been regular in depositing
undisputed statutory dues. There have been material
delays in remittance of Provident Fund, Employees'' State
Insurance Tax Deducted at Source, Goods and Services
Tax, Income Tax (including Advance tax), Urban Land Tax
and other material statutory dues applicable to it to the
appropriate authorities.
The Company has not deposited the following undisputed
statutory dues which were outstanding at the year- end for
a period of more than six months from the date they became
payable are as follows:

The Company does not have major revenues at this point
of time. The Company borrows money for operating
expenses and depending on the cashflows, the Company
has remitted statutory dues with necessary interest on such
delayed payments.
(f) Though the Company has an internal audit system as
required under Section 138 of the Act, the same needs
to be further strengthened to ensure periodical coverage
of the entire year and all business cycles, to make it
commensurate to the size and nature of its business.
For the healthcare subsidiaries, the Company has appointed
BDO as an internal auditor for the FY 2024-25 to strengthen
the internal audit controls.
(g) While the Company believes that Section 135 of the
Act w.r.t Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) would be
applicable for the year ended 31 March 2024, however the
Company has not yet finalized its computations considering
the legal interpretations around certain items accounted
in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the financial year
2022-23 and the treatment of the same for the purpose of
computing the profits under Section 198 of the Act based
on which the amount liable to be spent has to be computed.
Consequently, since the amount has not been finalized the
same has also not been transferred to a fund specified in
Schedule VII of the Act. Such transfer is required to be done
within 6 months from that date, i.e by 30 September 2024.
The Company has created a provision of Rs. 92.38 lakhs
on a conservative basis, towards unspent CSR for Financial
year 2023-24 during the current year ended 31 March
2025 which is the estimated maximum amount to be spent.
Further, the Company has not satisfied the applicability
criteria for FY 23-24 and hence CSR is not applicable to the
Company for FY 24-25.
The Board is of the considered opinion that the profits
generated by the Company during the Financial Year 2023-24
were not operational in nature. These profits primarily arose
from the sale of land parcels and the write-off of interest on
debentures pursuant to a one-time settlement arrangement
with the debenture holders. The Board views these as
exceptional items, and therefore, the provisions of Section
135 of the Companies Act, 2013 relating to Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) are not applicable.
Further, as on date, the legislative intent of the CSR provisions
is under interpretation, and non-compliance, if any, has not
been established or ascertained.
The Company does not have an appropriate internal control
system for ensuring Compliances with the SEBI Regulations
particularly with respect to Approval of Related Party
Transactions and certain provisions of the Act which could
potentially result in the non-compliance with the above
regulations and the consequent impact arising from them. Also
refer Note 59 of the Standalone Financial Statements.
The control includes engagement of an internal auditor, maker-
checker and delegation of authorities. Also, every year-end,
ICOFR reporting exercise is carried out by external consultants.
Accordingly, manual controls are implemented by Company to
protect its assets and policies are implemented accordingly for
better control within the organisation.
a. On the basis of written representations received from the
directors of the Holding Company as on 31 March 2025,
taken on record by the Board of Directors of the Holding

The Board had obtained an extension till 30 June 2022 from the
Non-convertible debenture holders vide letter dated 24 May
2022 and believes that the same is with retrospective effect rom
the date of original scheduled date of repayment due to which
there is no delay as regards repayment of debenture and interest
thereon and consequently, there was no other disqualification.
Based on our examination and based on the other auditor''s
reports of its subsidiaries, the Holding Company and its
subsidiaries uses Tally Prime as its primary accounting
software. However, the Holding Company and its subsidiaries
have not implemented the Audit Trail Feature (Edit log facility)
in the accounting software. Hence, neither was the audit trail
feature of the said software enabled nor was it operating during
the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software.
Accordingly, the requirement of examining whether there were
any instances of the audit trail feature being tampered with and
the requirement of preservation of the same by the Holding
Company and subsidiaries as per the statutory requirements
for record retention, does not arise.
The company has implemented the necessary audit trail
feature as required for the FY 2025 -26.
The Company has already implemented audit trail (edit log)
feature in Tally application on 18th June 2025.

Deviations |
Management Response |
|
1. |
During the period from November 25, 2023 to February 28, 2024, the board of directors of the Company comprised of only three Non-Independent Directors and two Independent Directors. Hence, half of the Board of Directors of the Company did not comprise Independent Directors as required under Regulation 17(1)(b) of SEBI (LODR). |
The Chairman established contacts with several potential candidates for filling this casual vacancy. The potential candidates for Independent Directors were evaluated on the basis of various criteria viz., having adequate skills, expertise, and competence in the fields of governance, strategy, financial management, risk management, regulatory and legal affairs. This process took longer than expected and |
|
2. |
During the period from November 25, 2023 to February 28, 2024, the board of directors of the Company comprised of five Directors. Hence, the Company did not comply with the requirements of the provisions of Regulation 17(1)(c) of SEBI (LODR) during the above said period. |
hence there was a delay in filling the vacancy. Subsequently, the Company paid the necessary fine to the National Stock Exchange and there is no further action required in this regard. The Company is now in compliance with the board composition requirements. |
The Statutory Auditors Report for the financial year 2023-24 does not contain any modification or qualification w.r.t true and fair view on the state of affairs.
Management responses to the Points on "Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements Section" and the "Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order 2020" are detailed below:
a) The terms and conditions of loans granted by the Company to 2 of its erstwhile subsidiaries and currently related parties and 1 subsidiary (loan amount granted Rs. 17.01 Lakhs and balance outstanding as at balance sheet date Rs. 39,780.73 Lakhs) are prejudicial to the Company''s interest for the loans granted as below:
The loans granted in prior years to Safetrunk Services Private Limited (Subsidiary), PVP Global Ventures Private Limited (erstwhile subsidiary, now a related party) and PVP Media Ventures Private Limited (erstwhile subsidiary, now a related party), amounting to Rs. 39,864.01 Lakhs as on 31 March 2023, were unsecured and were fully provided for. Despite the same, the Company has further provided loans amounting to Rs. 17.01 Lakhs to these parties during the year against which corresponding provision has also been created for an equivalent amount during the year ended 31 March 2024.
b) In respect of loans granted by the Company, the schedule of repayment is stipulated except w.r.t. loans granted to one of its subsidiaries and two of its erstwhile subsidiaries (currently related parties) wherein the schedule of repayment of principal has not been stipulated and in the absence of such schedule, we are unable to comment on the regularity of the repayments of principal amounts.
c) In respect of advances in the nature of loans provided by the Company, there is no overdue amount remaining outstanding as at the balance sheet date except w.r.t. loans granted to one of its subsidiaries/ two of its erstwhile subsidiaries (currently related parties) wherein the schedule of repayment of principal has not been stipulated and in the absence of such schedule, we are unable to comment on the amount due.
d) None of the advances in the nature of loans granted by the Company have fallen due during the year except w.r.t. unsecured Loans granted to one of its subsidiaries/ two of its erstwhile subsidiaries (currently related parties) wherein the schedule of repayment of principal has not been stipulated and in the absence of such schedule, we are unable to comment on the amount due.
Management response: The Company had extended the loans for supporting the operational/ financial needs of these entities and overall benefit of the Group. At the time of extending the loans, these entities were subsidiaries of the Companies, and no new loans were granted post these entities ceasing to be subsidiaries on account of restructuring.
Since these loans were granted as a financial support to these entities, the schedule of repayment are not defined. The Management of the Company is in constant discussion with these entities, and once the cashflows of these entities are regular, the repayment of the loan shall also commence.
e) The Company has generally been regular in depositing undisputed statutory dues w.r.t Provident Fund and Employees'' State Insurance. However there have been material delays in remittance of Tax Deducted at Source, Goods and Services Tax, Income Tax (including Advance tax) ,Urban Land Tax and other material statutory dues applicable to it to the appropriate authorities.
Management response: During FY 2023-24, the Group underwent a major restructuring and divested nonprofitable ventures and restructured its debt obligations, thereby freeing up working capital. After the date of audit report and until the date of this report, the Company has remitted income tax dues of FY 2022-23 approximating to Rs. 1606.43 lakhs.
f) Though the Company has an internal audit system as required under Section 138 of the Act, the same needs to be further strengthened to ensure periodical coverage of the entire year and all business cycles, to make it commensurate to the size and nature of its business.
Management response: For the healthcare subsidiaries, the Company has appointed BDO as an internal auditor for the FY 2024-25 to strengthen the internal audit controls.
g) Based on written representations received from the directors as on 31 March 2024, taken on record by the Board of Directors, except for the directors Prasad V. Potluri, P J Bhavani, Subramanian Parameswaran none of the directors are disqualified as on 31 March 2024 from being appointed as a director in terms of Section 164(2) of the Act.
Management response: The Board had obtained an extension till 30 June 2022 from the Non-convertible debenture holders vide letter dated 24 May 2022 and believes that the same is with retrospective effect from the date of original scheduled date of repayment due to which there is no delay as regards repayment of debenture and interest thereon and consequently
disqualification under Section 164(2)(b) of the Act is not attracted.
h) Based on our exa mination, the Company uses Tally Prime as its primary accounting software. However, the Company has not implemented the Audit trail feature (Edit log facility) in the accounting software. Hence, neither was the audit trail feature of the said software enabled nor was it operating during the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software. Accordingly, the requirement of examining whether there were any instances of the audit trail feature being tampered with and the requirement of preservation of the same by the Company as per the statutory requirements for record retention, does not arise. Corresponding qualification have also been included under the clause on "maintenance of books of accounts".
Management response: The Company has already implemented controls on various processes. The control includes engagement of an internal auditor, maker-checker and delegation of authorities. The Company is in discussions with vendors and will enable the audit trail functionality.
Pursuant to Regulation 24(A) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, the Company has obtained an annual secretarial compliance report from the above mentioned Secretarial Auditor and the same was submitted to the stock exchanges as per the prescribed timeline.

> PVP Global Ventures Private Limited had provided advances to a related party under Companies'' Act, 2013, M/s Dakshin Realties Private Limited amounting to Rs. 10,366.39 lakhs for scouting of land for the proposed power projects prior to December 2018. The long duration of outstanding of these advance and other factors like low probability of availability of a big chunk of land indicate the existence of uncertainty on the eventual realizability of these advances and hence the we have provided for these outstanding advances at group level.
> The existing loans given by PVP Capital Limited have become defunct and provisions have been created for Rs. 14,274.44 lakhs out of 16,520 lakhs (86%) of the total Loans & Advances. The balance outstanding amount majorly represents the loan advanced to PHML, the holding Company of PVP Capital Limited. PVP Capital Limited has a book debt of Rs. 14,393.13 lakhs (PY - Rs. 14,593.13 lakhs) given to various film producers. Due to significant delay in completing the films, the customers did not service the interest and loan repayment. Consequently, the group has made a cumulative provision of Rs. 14,262.35 Lakhs (PY - Rs. 13,889.46 lakhs) for the expected credit loss for loans given for film finance. Though we believe that no adjustment to the carrying value is required as it is confident of recovery from the borrowers.

We (Statutory auditors for the purpose of this section) draw attention to Note no. 42(d) of the Standalone financial statements which describes that the Company had not created any provision for expected credit loss towards the guarantee provided w.r.t loan availed by one of the step-down subsidiaries, i.e., PVP Capital Limited from a bank. The aforesaid guarantee has been invoked in the current year. This is contrary to the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard - 109 - Financial instruments prescribed under the Rules. This has led to overstatement of previous year''s profits, understatement of current year profits and overstatement of retained earnings as at 1 April 2021 and 1 April 2022. However, we are unable to quantify the amounts on account of non-availability of management assessment of provisioning and related approvals/documentation etc. In the absence of the same, the Management has not performed a restatement of the previous year results as required under Ind AS 8 - "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors". |
The Management was in the process of evaluating / assessing the need to incur the said liability i.e. liability on invocation of the Corporate Guarantee and hence no provision was created. However, upon incurring the actual liability and making the payment in the current year, the same has been recorded appropriately in the books as a result the balances as on 31 March 2023 has been set right. |

According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following weaknesses have been identified in the operating effectiveness of the group''s internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to the Standalone financial statements as at 31 March 2023: The Company does not have an appropriate internal control system for ensuring Compliances with the Statutory Regulations such as Companies Act, 2013, Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, SEBI Regulations which could potentially result in the non-compliance with the above regulations and the consequent potential penalties arising from them.

The Board had obtained an extension till 30 June 2022 from the debenture holder vide letter dated 24 May 2022 and believes that the same is with retrospective effect from the date of original scheduled date of repayment as highlighted in Note No. 42(a) & 42(b) to the Standalone financial statements due to which there is no delay as regards repayment of debenture and interest thereon and consequently disqualification under Section 164(2)(b) of the Act is not attracted. Further based on written representations received from the directors as on 31 March 2023 the Board has taken on record that none of the directors are disqualified. In our opinion considering the defaults continuing for more than one year in redeeming the debentures and repayment of interest as per the original schedule of redemption / payment and no waiver/extension being available as on the respective due dates as per the repayment schedule, all the directors are disqualified from being appointed as a director in terms of Section 164(2) of the Act. (This has also been highlighted in the Consolidated Audit Report) |
As per the legal advice, management is of the view that even though the repayment has not been made within the period contemplated, the delay has been ratified by the debenture holder with retrospective effect by virtue of which the management contents this would not come under the ambit of default as defined under Section 164(2)(b) of the Act. |

a. The terms and conditions of loans granted by the Company to its Subsidiaries (loan amount granted Rs. 127.03 Lakhs and balance outstanding as at balance sheet date Rs. 61,707.51 Lakhs) are prejudicial to the Company''s interest on account of the fact that the loans have been granted at an interest rate of 0% per annum which is significantly lower than the cost of funds to the Company and also lower than the prevailing yield of government security closest to the tenor of the loan.

Review of Operations
The financial year 2013-14 was a year of consolidation for your
Company. During this year, though there was a moderate increase in the
total income, at the bottom line could not witness similar proportion
and as a result, the net profit (standalone) has reduced drastically
from Rs.36.29 crore during the previous year to Rs.8 crore during the
year under review. The decline in the profitability was mainly
attributable to writing back off exceptional items, interest payments
and increase in general overheads on account of embarking upon
diversion plans.
Due to overall slowdown persisting in the real estate industry, the
revenues envisaged out of the project development could not witness any
remarkable growth and as a result, the cash flows from the Project have
come down marginally. However, there appears to be signs of recovery of
the overall market in the ensuing quarters, with the result, the
realization from our Perambur Project would witness marginal increase
during this current financial year.
As informed to the Members in the previous Annual Report, your Board is
pleased to share with you that, your Company had bid for India''s first
Badminton League and won the Hyderabad Franchise and rechristened the
team as "Hyderabad Hotshots". This Team has won the inaugural season of
the Indian Badminton League (IBL) Trophy that was held in August, 2013.
This being the first season of the IBL, it could not support the
bottom-line as expected. However, the Management of your Company is
very positive about IBLs contribution in the years to come.
Inspired with the success of IBL, the Company entered into football and
bid for the Indian Super League (ISL) being promoted by IMG Reliance
and Star India (Organizers), under the aegis of All India Football
Federation and was successful in winning a Kochi Football Team, which
was christined as ''Kerala Blasters Football Club''. To take this event
further, your Company has executed a Participation Agreement with
Football Sports Development Private Limited (an SPV formed by IMG
Reliance; Star India and All India Football Federation) in April, 2014.
The selection of players for Kochi Football Team is under process.
First season of the Indian Super League (ISL) may commence in the month
of September - October, 2014. Though the first season of the ISL may
not contribute much, the Management is of the opinion that from the
second season onwards, the contribution from ISL to the bottom-line
could be significant.
Apart from the above, the Company is exploring various
plans to embark upon investing into Electronic Media, and other viable
business verticles either by way of acquisitions or through mergers,
etc and the details of which would be disseminated to the stakeholders
at appropriate time.

In order to conserve the resources for future plan of actions and also

reView of oPerAtions
the financial year 2012-13 was a landmark year in the history of the
company. during this year, the consolidated revenues of the company
rose to Rs.65.66 crore from Rs.3.40 crore during the previous year. the
consolidated pat increased from Rs.59.42 lakhs during the previous year
to Rs.35.68 crore for the year under report, registering a tremendous
growth. as the members are aware, the perambur project has launched
its first few phases in the previous year and the same has been
received well by the market. the revenue flow from the phases which
were already launched had continued in the year under review and the
management is expecting that the project may launch other new phases in
the current year, in which case the cash flows for the company during
the current year may further improve.
as a strategy to mitigate/lower the risk of depending on a single
project for all its revenues, and also by taking advantage of the
inflows occurred during the year under report and also by keeping in
view the expected inflows, the management is exploring various options
like entering into power sector, vertical and/or horizontal expansion &
diversification, venturing into sports related business activities,
etc.

in order to preserve the resources for expansion and diversification
programs, which will, in the long run, lead to wealth maximisation in

Auditors'' quALificAtion & mAnAgement''s rePLy
Auditors'' qualification: Attention is drawn to the (a) Note 12 in notes
to the financial statements with regard to the investment in equity
shares of subsidiary companies at cost Rs.54718.10 lakhs with provision
for diminution in carrying value provided for Rs.30358.10 lakhs, (b)

of Rs.43660.75 lakhs with provision for doubtful advances made for

uncertainty in carrying the value of investments and loans and advances
at cost less provision already made. Hence, the Auditors were unable

market value of the assets and expected cash flows from the business of

flows from these companies will be made and presented to the Board, for

Review and result of Operations
Financial year 2011-12 was a challenging year for the global markets
and industries. The global economy, barely a year after recession,
witnessed lower economic growth, resulting primarily from the Euro Zone
debt crisis and high oil prices, which fuelled the inflation in India.
The European economies stagnated and the US witnessed a downgrade in
its credit rating, and India was forced to tighten liquidity and raise
interest rates to tame rising inflation.
However, the Company, despite of all these challenges is able to hold
its fort. Perambur project of the Company has started and has been
received well by the market. During the year, the first few phases of
Perambur Project were launched and received good response from the
market. The Company, till the year ending 31st March 2012, received Rs
74.23 Cr (PY: Rs 5 Cr) as its share of collections from the Project,
however, pending transfer of significant risks and rewards over the
undivided share of land, which coincides with registering the sale
deed, this amount is shown as advance for sale received from customers.
The Company also received Rs 2.27 Cr from the Developer as interest on
delayed payments, which is shown as other income for the year. The
further details of the cash flows from the Project and related
development are given in Note 22.1 of the Notes to Accounts.
In June 2012, the Company disposed off its Pattipulam property and
settled the dues of L&T Infrastructure Finance Company Limited and has
now become a debt free company.
Future Plans
The Company expects substantial cash flow from its Perambur project and
intends to develop a vertical focusing on acquisitions and financing
arising out of special situations in Indian and global markets by
utilizing its internal accrual and by raising debt funding.

The Board has not recommended any dividend for the financial year
2011-12.

related expenses and working capital requirements of MEV and NPPL, at
the time when the global and Indian economy were under financial
distress. However, the promoters of MEV, inspite of PVP Group having
pledge over 100% of shareholding of MEV, had fraudulently sold their
stake in NPPL to a third party. The Company has approached the Court(s)
