Construction & repair contracts
Referred to in Note No. 1 - 2.2(j) of the FinancialsStatements
The company recognizes the revenue from Ship/Submarine Construction/ repair contracts whenthe company satisfies a performance obligation inaccordance to Ind-AS 115 Revenue from Contractsfrom Customer only when it can reasonablymeasure its progress towards complete satisfactionof obligation or by transferring goods or service toa customer.
When the control of the goods produced andrendered services is transferred over time to thecustomer, revenue is recognized over time under thepercentage of completion method (PoC). Penalties ifany, are reduced from the revenue.
For the application of the overtime method (PoCmethod), the measure of the progress towardscomplete satisfaction of a performance obligation isbased on inputs (i.e. cost incurred)
This revenue recognition process is identified as keyaudit matter as these contracts involved:
- Identification of actual cost incurred on eachcontract.
- These contracts require determination ofstage of completion and significant estimationof future cost of completion of each contract.
- At the period end, a significant amount ofcontract assets or contract liabilities related toeach contract is to be identified.
For the year ended March 31,2025, contractrevenue amounted to T 11,19,604 Lakhs (Previousyear: T 9,06,801 Lakhs).

The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for theother information. The other information comprises theinformation included in the Director’s report and Managementdiscussion and analysis but does not include the StandaloneFinancial Statements and our Auditor’s Report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements doesnot cover the other information and we do not express anyform of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements, our responsibilities is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the otherinformation is materially inconsistent with the StandaloneFinancial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the auditor otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, basedon the work, we have performed, we conclude that thereis a material misstatement of this other information, we arerequired to report that fact. We have nothing to report in thisregard.
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors areresponsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of theAct with respect to the preparation of these StandaloneFinancial Statements that give a true and fair view of the
The Management and Board of Directors are also responsiblefor overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the Standalone Financial Statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these StandaloneFinancial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the Standalone Financial Statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. UnderSection 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsiblefor expressing our opinion on whether the Companyhas adequate internal financial controls system withreference to Standalone Financial Statements in placeand the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by Management and Boardof Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’sand Board of Director’s use of the going concern basisof accounting in preparation of Standalone FinancialStatement and, based on the audit evidence obtained,whether a material uncertainty exists related to eventsor conditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the Standalone FinancialStatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’sreport. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the Standalone Financial Statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the Standalone FinancialStatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in theStandalone Financial Statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions ofa reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluatethe effect of any identified misstatements in the StandaloneFinancial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,we determine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
