We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Ujaas Energy Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the balance
sheet as at 31st March 2025, and the statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), statement of changes in
equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter
described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by
the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the company as at 31st March, 2025, and its profit (including other comprehensive income), the changes in
equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
a. We draw your attention to Note 38 (a) of the Statement with regard to accrued interest of Rs. 25.81 Lakhs on Fixed Deposits
with Axis Bank for year ended 31st March, 2025 has been accounted for by the company but Axis Bank has not credited the
same. Consequently there exists a difference between balance as per books of account and confirmation provided by bank to
that extent.
b. We draw attention to Note No.38 (b) of the Financial Statements, where in
The Company''s trade receivables as at March 31, 2025, aggregating to Rs. 2874.88 Lakhs, for which external confirmations
have been sent by the management. However, confirmations have not been received from the respective parties. Accordingly,
we are unable to comment on the possible adjustments required in the carrying amount of trade receivable and possible impact
is presently not quantifiable.
We conducted our audit 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 ethical 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.
We draw attention to note no. 16 that pursuant to resolution plan approved by NCLT all the borrowings were settled and accordingly
accounting effect given in the books of account. However State Bank of India and Axis Bank has still not given effect for the same in
their books and balance still outstanding aggregating to Rs. 3546.07 lakhs, to that extent there is difference as per books of account
and balance confirmation from banks.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in theAnnual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s report 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 the course of
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.
Management''s Responsibility 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 (âthe Actâ) with
respect to the preparation of these 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 (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the company''s (Indian Accounting Standard ) 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 implementation and maintenance of 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 statement 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 the 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 skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
a. 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.
b. Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 statement in place and the operating effectiveness
of such controls.
c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management.
d. 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.
e. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in
the audit of the 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.

Consequently there exists a difference between balance as per books of account and confirmation by bank to that extent.
We conducted our audit 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

The resolution plan submitted by SVA Family Trust and M&B Switchgears was approved by Honorable NCLT, Indore Bench, vide its order dated 13th October 2023 and effective date for implementation of the resolution plan was declared as 20th October 2023.

Evaluation of uncertain tax positions (i) Accounting treatment for the effects of the Resolution Plan Refer Note 42 to the Financial Statements for the details regarding the resolution plan implemented in the Company pursuant to a corporate insolvency resolution process concluded during the year ended 31st March 2024 under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. Owing to the size of the over-due credit facilities, multiplicity of contractual arrangements and large number of operational and financial creditors, determination of the carrying amount of related liabilities at the date of approval of Resolution Plan was a complex exercise. In respect of de-recognition of operational and financial creditors, difference amounting to 21214.18 Lakh between the carrying amount of financial liabilities extinguished and consideration paid, is recognised in statement of profit and loss account in accordance with Ind AS - 109 Financial Instruments prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and accounting policies consistently followed by the Company and disclosed as an "Exceptional items". Accounting for the effects of the resolution plan is considered by us to be a matter of most significance due to its importance to intended users understanding of the Financial Statements as a whole and materiality thereof. |
We have performed the following procedures to determine whether the effect of Resolution Plan has been appropriately recognised in the Financial Statements: ¦ Reviewed management''s process for review and implementation of the Resolution Plan. ¦ Reviewed the provisions of the Resolution Plan to understand the requirements of the said Plan and evaluated the possible impact of the same on the financial statements. ¦ Verified the balances of liabilities as on the date of approval of Resolution Plan from supporting documents and computations on a test check basis. ¦ Verified the payment of funds on test check basis as per the Resolution Plan. ¦ Evaluated whether the accounting principles applied by the management fairly present the effects of the Resolution Plan in financial statements in accordance with the principles of Ind AS. ¦ Tested the related disclosures made in notes to the financial statements in respect of the implementation of the resolution plan. |
|
(ii) Contingent liabilities & Matters under litigation Refer Note 29 to the financial statements. Prior to the approval of the Resolution Plan, the Company was a party to certain matters under litigations. Pursuant to the approval of the Resolution Plan, it was determined that no amounts are payable in respect of those litigations as they stand extinguished. The Company had also made certain payments to the relevant authorities in respect of those litigations as per Order and resolution plan. The estimates related to expect outcome of litigations and recoverability of payments made in respect thereof have high degree of inherent uncertainty due to insufficient judicial precedents in India in respect of disposal of litigations involving companies admitted to Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process. |
We have performed the following procedures to test the recoverability of payments made by the Company in relation to litigations instituted against it prior to the approval of the Resolution Plan: ¦ Verified the underlying documents related to litigations and other correspondences with the statutory authorities. Reviewed the provisions of the Resolution Plan to understand the requirements of the said Plan and evaluated the possible impact. ¦ Evaluated whether the accounting principles applied by the management fairly present the amounts recoverable from relevant authorities in financial statements in accordance with the principles of Ind AS. ¦ Discussion with the management on the development in theses litigations during the year ended 31st March, 2024. Obtaining representation letter from the management on the assessment of those matters as per SA 580 (revised) - written representations. |

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the company as at 31 st March, 2023, and its loss (including other comprehensive income), the changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date..
Basis for Qualified Opinion
Attention is drawn to :
1. As mentioned in Note 41 & 42 of the Statement, creditors were called upon to submit their claims. Claims submitted by the Financial creditors and operational creditors are subject to reconciliations. Pending reconciliation and final outcome of the CIRP, no accounting impact in the books of accounts has been given in respect of excess, short, or non-receipts of claims for operational and financial creditors. Hence consequential impact, if any, on the financial statements is currently unascertainable.
2. We have been informed by Resolution Professional that the certain information including the minutes of the meeting of the Committee of Creditor and the outcome
of certain procedures carried out as a part of the CIRP are confidential in nature and could not be shared with anyone other than the Committee of Creditor and NCLT. Accordingly, we are unable to comment on the possible financial impact, presentation and disclosure, if any, that may arise if we have been provided access to those information..
3. As mentioned in Note No 43 of the Statement, no impairment assessment of property plant and equipment and intangible asset in carrying value as at 31 st March, 2023 is made. Therefore, we are unable to comment on consequential impairment, if any, that is required to be made in carrying value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
4. Note No. 44 the Statement, balance confirmations not been received in respect of trade receivables, deposits, loans and advances and trade and other payables as a result of which reconciliation process and consequential adjustments, if any, has not been carried out. The Company has adjusted / provided / written off / back significant amounts basis its internal estimates, against which necessary supporting documentation has not been made available to us.
5. Note 45 of the financial statements with regards to difference in borrowings aggregating to Rs. 2573.55 lacs arising with bank balance confirmation due to the interest on borrowings being recognized by the Company based on the sanction terms of borrowing, whereas the lenders has not charged the same. The interest expenses recognized on borrowings during the year by the Company amounting to Rs. 1165.49 Lacs.
6. Note 46 of the financial statement with regards to difference arising in accrued interest on fixed deposit of Axis Bank by Rs 22.69 lacs due to interest being recognized by the Company on accrual basis, where as Axis Bank has not provided interest in their statement.
We conducted our audit 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 Auditorâs 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 ethical 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.
Since the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) is currently in progress, as per the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, it is required that the Company be managed as going concern basis during CIRP. The financial statement is continued to be prepared on going concern basis. However, there exists material uncertainty about the Companyâs ability to continue as going concern since as per Note No. 41 NCLT has rejected the resolution plan vide order dated 06/01/2023 against which the resolution applicant has filed an appeal before NCLAT. The appropriateness of preparation of financial results on going concern basis is
critically dependent upon outcome of CIRP as specified in the Code.
We draw your attention to note 2 of the Statements with regards to managementâs assessment of inter-alia, realisability of Renewable Energy Certificates amounting to Rs. 1173 lacs which is subject to adjudication of pending litigation at Apex Court. The management is hopeful of realizing the aforesaid amount considering the legal opinion.
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.

Evaluation of uncertain tax positions |
|
|
Evaluation of uncertain tax positions The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to periodic challenges by local tax authorities on a range of tax matters during the normal course of business including direct and indirect tax matters. These involve significant management judgment to determine the possible outcome of the uncertain tax positions, consequently having an impact on related accounting and disclosures in the financial statements. |
Our audit procedures include the following substantive procedures: ¦ Obtained understanding of key uncertain tax positions; and ¦ We along with our internal tax experts â ¦ Read and analysed select key correspondences, external legal opinions / consultations by management for key uncertain tax positions; Discussed with appropriate senior management and evaluated managementâs underlying key assumptions in estimating the tax provisions; and Assessed managementâs estimate of the possible outcome of the disputed cases |
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Boardâs Report including Annexures to Boardâs Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholderâs Information, but does not include the financial statements and our auditorâs report 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 the course of 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.
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these 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 (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the companyâs (Indian Accounting Standard ) 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 implementation and maintenance of 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 statement 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 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 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 Companyâs financial reporting process.
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 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 financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
a. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whetherdue 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.
c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
d. Conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs 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 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.
e. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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
The comparative financial information of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2022 are based on the financial statements audited by the predecessor auditor whose report for the year ended 31st March, 2022 dated 30.05.2022 expressed a modified opinion on those financial statements.
Our opinion on the financial statements above is not modified in respect of these matter.

ANNEXURE âBâ TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORâS REPORT
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Ujaas Energy Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs 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. 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 companyâs 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.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company 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 Noteâ) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 auditorâs judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs 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 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 companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the 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 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.
