We were engaged to audit the accompanying standalone
financial statements of Reliance Infrastructure Limited (“the
Company”), which comprise the standalone balance sheet as
at March 31, 2025, the standalone statement of profit and loss
(including other comprehensive income), standalone statement
of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows
for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including a summary of the material accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred
to as “the standalone financial statements”), which includes
3 Joint Operations accounted on proportionate basis.

We do not express an opinion on the accompanying standalone
financial statements of the Company. Because of the significance
of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient
appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion
on these standalone financial statements.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

1. We refer to Note 36 to the standalone financial statements
as regards the mediation concluded before the Main
Mediation Centre, Hon’ble Bombay High Court, whereby
the dispute of the Company with EPC company stands fully
settled, pursuant to which the Company’s exposure to EPC
company as on March 31, 2025, stands reduced to H Nil
and the corporate guarantees towards general corporate
purpose given on behalf of EPC company, which are fully
provided, more particularly described in said note.

We were unable to determine the relationship of EPC
company with the Company in respect of the matter stated
in the aforesaid note. Further we are unable to determine
the overall recovery of the assignment of Economic rights
of shareholding in Odisha Discoms and in shares and
securities in certain unlisted entities (refer para (a) and
(c) of Note 36 respectively) acquired pursuant to Consent
Terms/Settlement Agreement from the EPC company.
Accordingly, we are unable to determine the consequential
implications arising therefrom in the standalone financial
statements of the Company.

2. We refer to Statement of Changes in Equity of the
Standalone financial statements wherein the loss on

invocation of shares and/or fair valuation of shares held
as investments in Reliance Power Limited (RPower)
aggregating to H 5,024.88 Crore for year ended March 31,
2020 was adjusted against the capital reserve instead of
charging the same in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The said treatment of loss on invocation and fair valuation
of investments was not in accordance with the Ind AS
28 “Investment in Associates and Joint Venture”, Ind AS
1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and Ind AS 109
“Financial Instruments”. Had the Company followed the
above Ind AS’s the Retained earnings as at March 31,
2024 and March 31, 2025 would have been lower by
H 5,024.88 Crore and Capital Reserve of the Company as
at March 31, 2024 and March 31,2025 would have been
higher by H 5,024.88 Crore.

Emphasis of matter

1. We draw attention to Note 48 to the standalone financial
statements, the net worth of the Company has been
substantially eroded, the Company has continuously
incurred losses, as on date the current liabilities exceed
its current assets and the Company is also a guarantor
for certain entities including its subsidiaries whose loans
have also fallen due which indicate that uncertainty exists
that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. However, for the reasons
more fully described in the aforesaid note, the standalone
financial statements of the Company have been prepared
on a Going Concern basis.

2. We draw attention to Note 37 to the standalone financial
statements, regarding the exceptional items aggregating to
H (606.32) crore (net), for the year ended March 31,2025.

3. We draw attention to Note 39 to the standalone financial
statements which describes the impairment assessment
performed by the Company in respect of net exposure of
H 1,533.07 crore in Mumbai Metro One Private Limited
(“MMOPL”) in accordance with Ind AS 36 “Impairment
of assets”/Ind AS 109 “Financial Instruments”. This
assessment involves significant management judgment
and estimates on the valuation methodology and various
assumptions used by independent Valuation experts/
management as more fully described in the aforesaid note.
Based on management’s assessment and independent
valuation report, no impairment is considered necessary
on the net exposure by the management.

4. We draw attention to Note 39 to the standalone financial
statements which describes the impairment assessment
performed by the Company in respect of net exposure of
H 1,324.88 crore in four subsidiaries i.e. Toll Road SPV’s
Companies in accordance with Ind AS 36 “Impairment
of assets”/Ind AS 109 “Financial Instruments”. This
assessment involves significant management judgment
and estimates on the valuation methodology and various
assumptions used by independent Valuation experts/
management as more fully described in the aforesaid note.
Based on management’s assessment and independent
valuation report, no impairment is considered necessary
on the net exposure by the management.

5. We draw attention to Note 41 to the standalone financial
statements with respect to the net exposure of H 92.30
Crore in Airport SPVs, as described in the aforesaid note,
based on management’s assessment no impairment is
considered against the said exposure.

6. We draw attention to Note 42 to the standalone
financial statements with respect to outstanding
obligation of Shanghai Electric Group Co Ltd (SEC)
as more fully described in the aforesaid note. Based on
management’s assessment, adequate provision has been
made for the same.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements is not
modified in respect of the above matters.
