We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of TULSYAN NEC LIMITED (“the Company”), which comprisethe Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement ofChanges in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and a summary of the material accounting policy informationand 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 describedin the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report ,the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by theCompanies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standardsprescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended,(“Ind AS”) andother accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2025, net loss, (changes inequity) and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
As stated in Note no. 7 to the standalone financial statements, the Company has not received balance confirmations for trade receivablesoutstanding for more than 180 days as at 31st March 2025. These receivables constitute approximately 53% in value of the confirmationssought. For receivables outstanding for less than 180 days, confirmations were received in a substantial number of cases.
The management has represented that it undertook a comprehensive process of seeking balance confirmations from all customers andmade multiple follow-up efforts. Despite these efforts, a significant portion of the older balances remain unconfirmed.
The Company has also informed us that it remains confident of recovery of these balances and is evaluating an assignment of certainreceivables as part of its recovery plan. Further, the Company has written off a small portion of the trade receivables during the year inrespect of trade receivables and, based on its assessment, has not recorded any significant ECL provision beyond this.
However, in the absence of direct confirmations and sufficient alternative audit evidence regarding the recoverability of these older balances,we are unable to determine whether any further adjustments are necessary to the carrying value of these receivables by way of additionalprovisioning, write-offs, or write-backs.
Accordingly, our audit opinion on the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2025 is qualified to the extent of the possible effectsof adjustments, if any, that may be required on account of the forementioned matter.
Emphasis of Matter:
The Company has serviced the interest and principal payable on the Non-Convertible Debentures on time in all months except fromDecember 2024. There has been an agreed Moratorium from Dec 2024 to Mar 2024. (Reference is drawn to Note 3 of StandaloneFinancial Statements)
According to the information and explanation given to us, during the year one Windmill was sold and from June 2024 to February 2025,Power plant was under shutdown. (Reference is drawn to Note 6 of Standalone Financial Statements)
Our audit opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.
^ We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities underthose standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. Weare 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 financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rulesthereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believethat the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and informing our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Basis ofQualified Opinion section we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

• We considered external opinions, where relevant, obtainedby management;
• We evaluated management's assessments and assessedthe reliability of the management's past estimates/judgements;
• We assessed the adequacy of the Company's disclosures.
Based on the above work performed, assessment in respectof litigations and related disclosures relating to contingentliabilities/ other significant litigations in the StandaloneFinancial Statements are considered to be reasonable.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for 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 conclusionthereon.
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 in the audit or otherwise appears tobe 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 Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of thesestandalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs (financial position), net loss (financial performanceincluding other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, including the Ind AS specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventingand detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimatesthat are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of thefinancial statements 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 eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's 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 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 Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and performaudit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay 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 thecircumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for explaining our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor'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.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether thefinancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that theeconomic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the 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 ofany identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit andsignificant 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 regardingindependence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, 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 auditof the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's reportunless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh thepublic interest benefits of such communication.
