Mar 31, 2026
We have audited the standalone financial statements of Bajel
Projects Limited ("the Companyâ),
which comprise the standalone Balance Sheet as at March
31 2026, the standalone Statement of Profit and Loss,
including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income,
the standalone Cash Flow Statement and the standalone
Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended,
and notes to the standalone financial statements, including
a summary of material accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
standalone financial statements give the information required
by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Actâ) in the
manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of
the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2026, its
profit including other comprehensive income, its cash flows
and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
(SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the âAuditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Standalone Financial Statementsâ section of our report.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with
the âCode of Ethicsâ 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 Act 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 audit opinion on the
standalone financial statements.
We draw your attention to Note 6(d) of the accompanying
standalone financial statements of the Company, which
describes that the Company has invoked / ongoing arbitration
proceedings with respect to three of its customers for
recovery of outstanding balances. Considering that the
outcome of the arbitration proceedings cannot be presently
determined, no further adjustments have been considered
necessary in the standalone financial statements by the
management.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements for the financial year ended
March 31, 2026. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our
description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided
in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We
have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditorâs
responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial
statements section of our report, including in relation to these
matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial
statements. The results of our audit procedures, including
the procedures performed to address the matters below,
provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
standalone financial statements.

The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual report, but does not include the
standalone financial statements and our auditorâs report
thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available
to us after the date of this auditorâs report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not
cover the other information and we will not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing
so, consider whether such other information is materially
inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there
is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance
and take appropriate action as applicable under the relevant
laws and regulations.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE
CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to
the preparation of these standalone financial statements that
give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income, cash
flows and changes in equity 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 Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) 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 accounting policies;
making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent; and the 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 standalone financial statements that give
a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone 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.
Those charged with Governance are also responsible for
overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the standalone 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 standalone
financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement
of the standalone 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.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal control 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 statements
in place and the operating effectiveness of such
controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.
⢠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 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.
⢠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 standalone financial
statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026
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.

c) Based on such audit procedures

standalone financial statements of the Company, which
describe that the Company has invoked arbitration
proceedings with respect to two of its customers

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the standalone financial statements for the
financial year ended March 31, 2025. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone
financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters. For each matter below, our description
of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that
context.
We have determined the matters described below to be
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the

relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included
the performance of procedures designed to respond to our

Information Other than the Standalone
Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report
Thereon
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual report, but does not
include the standalone financial statements and our
auditorâs report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does
not cover the other information and we will not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether such other
information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the 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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those
Charged with Governance for the Standalone
Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to
the preparation of these standalone financial statements
that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance including other comprehensive
income, cash flows and changes in equity 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 Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) 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 accounting
policies; making judgments and estimates that are
reasonable and prudent; and the 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 standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view and are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
In preparing the standalone 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.
Those charged with Governance are also responsible for
overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the standalone 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 standalone financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement
of the standalone 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.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal control 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 statements in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.
⢠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 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.
⢠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 standalone
financial statements for the financial year ended March
31, 2025 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.
1. As required by the Companies (Auditorâs Report)
Order, 2020 (âthe Orderâ), issued by the Central
Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of
section 143 of the Act, we give in the âAnnexure 1â a
statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3
and 4 of the Order.
2. As required by Section 143(3) of the Act, we report, to
the extent applicable, that:
(a) We have sought and obtained all the information
and explanations which to the best of our
knowledge and belief were necessary for the
purposes of our audit;
(b) In our opinion, proper books of account as
required by law have been kept by the Company
so far as it appears from our examination of
those books except for the matters stated in the
paragraph i(vi) below on reporting under Rule
11(g);
(c) The Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit
and Loss including the Statement of Other
Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow
Statement and Statement of Changes in Equity
dealt with by this Report are in agreement with
the books of account;

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Bajel Projects Limited ("the Companyâ), which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31, 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Actâ) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, its profit including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Act. 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 Act 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 audit opinion on the financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2024. 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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matters |
|
A. Cost to complete estimates (Refer Note 1D(3) of the financial statements) |
|
|
Revenue from construction contracts is recognised based on the stage of completion determined with reference to the actual costs incurred up to reporting date on the construction contract and the estimated cost to complete the project. Cost estimates involves judgments including those relating to cost escalations; assessment of related contract risks and their financial estimation; scope of deliveries and services required for fulfilling the contractually defined obligations |
Our audit procedures included the following: ⢠We obtained an understanding of the management''s process for estimating the cost that would be incurred to complete the project. ⢠Assessed the design and tested operational effectiveness of controls relating to cost estimation; |
|
and expected delays, if any. |
⢠On a sample basis, examined whether the cost |
|
estimates for the selected projects are in line with the supplier quotations and related agreements obtained by the management and other internal cost estimates where latest supplier quotations are not available. |
|
|
Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matters |
|
|
Accordingly, cost to complete estimates have been considered as a key audit matter. |
⢠|
Examined whether the future supply quantities in the selected projects are in line with the contractual Bill of Quantities (BOQ) / survey conducted by the management. Further, also performed audit tests in respect of erection and other overhead costs considered in the selected projects. |
|
⢠|
Examined the contingencies identified by the management in these selected projects and corroborated the same with internal / external evidence available with the management. |
|
|
⢠|
Examined project contractual terms and customer correspondences and reconciliations for the selected projects, to determine any adjustments to be considered to the project margins. |
|
|
⢠|
We have evaluated the disclosures made by the Company in the financial statements in view of the requirements as specified in the Indian Accounting Standards and Schedule III to the Act. |
|
|
B. Impairment allowance on trade receivables pertaining to operationally closed projects in Power Distribution (PD) and Power Transmission (PT) business (Refer Note 1D(2) and Note 5 of the financial statements) |
||
|
As at March 31,2024, trade receivables of Rs. 15,679.84 lakhs (net of impairment allowance of Rs. 4,409.23 lakhs) related to amounts collectible in respect of operationally closed projects in the PD and PT business. In determining whether an impairment allowance is required, the management takes into consideration the ageing status and likelihood of collection based on contractual terms, past experience, customer correspondences etc. Based on such assessment, specific allowances are made for receivables that are unlikely to be collected. |
Our audit procedures included the following ⢠We have obtained an understanding of the process and policy of the company for calculation of impairment allowance. ⢠Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls in relation to determination of the impairment allowance. ⢠Obtained management''s assessment of recoverability of receivables from operationally closed projects. |
|
|
Due to the involvement of management''s judgement and materiality of the amounts involved, we have considered the same as a key audit matter. |
⢠|
Discussed with the business heads in the PD and PT business on the steps taken by them for recovery of the amounts, including discussions with customers during the period under audit. |
|
⢠|
For samples, assessed whether the rationale behind the management''s judgment in determining the impairment provisions are in line with the customer correspondences (including any disputes/ legal case), material reconciliations (where done during the year) and post year end payments. |
|
|
⢠|
We have evaluated the disclosures made by the Company in the financial statements in view of the requirements as specified in the Indian Accounting Standards and Schedule III to the Act. |
|
We have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The comparative numbers for the period ended March 31,2023 and for the period January 19, 2022 to March 31, 2023, included in the financial statements are restated and have not been subjected to any audit.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual 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 such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the 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 Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity 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 Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) 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 accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the 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 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 either intends 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 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:
⢠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.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal control 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 statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
⢠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.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 for the financial year ended March 31,2024 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.
