Inox Wind Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statement

Opinion

We have audited the Standalone Financial Statement of Inox Wind Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2023, the statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the Standalone Financial Statement, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the Standalone Financial Statement).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statement give the information required by the Act 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, 2023, and loss, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statement 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 Standalone Financial Statement 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 Standalone Financial Statement 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 on Standalone Financial Statement.

Emphasis of matter

1. We draw attention to Note 42 of the Standalone Financial Statement regarding pending litigation matters with Court/ Appellate Authorities. Due to the significance of the balance to the financial statements as a whole and the involvement of estimates and judgement in the assessment which is being technical in nature, the management is of the opinion that the company will succeed in the appeal and there will not be any material impact on the statements on account of probable liability vis-a-vis the provisions already created in the books.

2. We draw attention to Note 44 of the Standalone Financial Statement which describes that the balance confirmation letters as referred to in the Standard on Auditing (SA) 505 (Revised) 'External Confirmations', were sent to balances from banks, trade receivables/payables/advances to vendors and other parties (other than disputed parties) and certain party's balances are subject to confirmation/ reconciliation. Adjustments, if any will be accounted for on confirmation/reconciliation of the same, which in the opinion of the management will not have a material impact.

3. We draw attention to Note 54 of the Standalone Financial Statement regarding the complete erosion of the net worth of Wind Four Renergy Private Limited ("WFRPL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inox Green Energy Services Limited in which the company has outstanding Inter Corporate Loan amounting to H 6,123 Lakh as on March 31, 2023. For the reasons stated by the management in the note, the recoverability of investment is dependent on the performance of WFRPL over the foreseeable future and improvement in its operational performance and financial support from its holding company.

4. We draw attention to Note 55 of the Standalone Financial Statement regarding invested funds in SPVs.

5. We draw attention to Note 57 of the Standalone Financial Statement regarding losses of unrecovered ICD and reimbursed ‘bank guarantee invoked by SECI'/liquidated damages.

6. We draw attention to Note 58 of the Standalone Financial Statement which describes that the company has an investment carrying at cost in shares (Quoted/unquoted) in Inox Green Energy Services Limited (IGESL) a subsidiary company. The Company assesses the recoverable amounts of investment after the identification of impairment indicators exist by comparing the fair value (less costs of disposal) and carrying amount of the investment in the subsidiary as on the reporting date. Management obtains fair value/ value-in-use of investments from independent valuation experts. Based on the report obtained by the management, management does not expect any impairment loss on the investment in the subsidiary company.

7. We draw attention to Note 61 of the Standalone Financial Statement, which states that the company has a system of maintenance of information and documents as required by the Goods and Services Act ("GST Act") and "chapter-xvii" of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Due to the pending filling of certain GST/TDS/TCS returns, the necessary reconciliation is pending to determine whether all transactions have been duly recorded/reported with the statutory authorities. Adjustments, if any, arising while filing the GST/TDS Return shall be accounted for as and when the return is filed for the current financial year. However, the management is of the opinion that the aforesaid return filing will not have any material impact on the financial statements.

Our report is not modified in respect of the above matters.

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 Statement of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statement as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

The Key Audit Matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Inventory Valuation

The Company is primarily in the business of manufacturing of Wind Turbine Generators and the inventory primarily consists of raw materials related to Wind Turbines Generators and WIP and Finished goods. Inventories are valued at a lower cost or net realizable value. There is a risk that inventories may be stated at values that are not representative of the costs or at values that are more than their net realizable value (‘NRV').

We identified the valuation of inventories as a key audit matter because the Company held significant inventories at the reporting date and a significant degree of management judgment and estimation was involved in valuing the inventories.

See Note 12 to the Standalone Financial Statement

In view of the significance of the matter we applied the following key audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence:

• Obtaining an understanding of and assessing the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the Company's key internal controls over the process for valuation of inventories.

• Comparing the cost of raw materials with supplier invoices, on a sample basis. For work-in-progress and finished goods, challenging, the key assumptions concerning overhead allocation by assessing the cost of the items included in overhead absorption on a sample basis.

• In connection with NRV testing, selecting inventory items, on a sample basis, at the reporting date and comparing their carrying value to their subsequent selling prices as indicated in sales invoices subsequent to the reporting date.

Revenue Recognition and Impairment of Trade Receivables

Revenue is recognised when the control of the underlying products has been transferred to the customer. We have identified recognition of revenue as a key audit matter as revenue is a key performance indicator. There is presumed fraud risk of revenue being overstated during the year on account of variation in the timing of the transfer of control due to pressure to achieve performance targets and meeting external expectations.

Trade receivables are mainly comprised of receivables from state government-owned enterprises and private dealers.

We have identified the impairment of trade receivables as a significant audit matter on account of the significant judgment and estimate involved. These factors include the customer's ability and willingness to pay the outstanding amounts, past due receivables, and financial and economic difficulties of customers.

In view of the significance of the matter we applied the

following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain

sufficient appropriate audit evidence:

• We evaluated the design of key internal financial controls and operating effectiveness of the relevant key controls with respect to revenue recognition.

• Obtained an understanding of the systems, processes and controls implemented by the Company for measurement of impairment of Trade Receivable.

• Evaluated the Company's revenue recognition and measurement of impairment of trade receivable accounting policies by comparing with applicable Indian accounting standards.

• Performed substantive testing (including year-end cutoff testing) by selecting statistical samples of revenue transactions recorded during the year, and verifying the underlying documents i.e. Contracts, Sales Order, Sales invoices and shipping documents, customer acceptance etc.

• Tested manual journals posted to revenue and trade receivable during the year to identify unusual items.

• Scrutinized sales returns/reversals/credit notes recorded in the general ledger subsequent to year-end to identify any significant unusual items.

• Performed analytical procedures on sales such as trend analysis to identify any unusual fluctuations.

The Key Audit Matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

This assessment is done for each customer resulting from possible defaults over the expected life of the receivables.

Based on this assessment, the credit loss rate is determined in the provision matrix. The credit loss rate is based on the experience of actual credit losses over past years adjusted to reflect the current economic conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Based on such credit loss rate, the company recorded expected credit loss (ECL) allowance for trade receivable.

In view of this, we have considered the measurement of ECL on trade receivables as a key audit matter.

• Obtaining an understanding of how the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivable.

• We have evaluated the historical accuracy of impairment for trade receivables on a sample basis by examining the actual write-offs, the reversal of previously recorded allowance and new allowances recorded in the current year.

• We have verified the Expected credit loss (ECL) provision working for trade receivable. Verified the Trend Analysis for trade receivable and checked the percentage applied for ECL provision.

• We have checked the ageing analysis (including testing of information produced by entity), on a sample basis and subsequent receipt of the trade receivables, to the source documents, including bank statements.

• Assessed the adequacy of the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statement with reference to revenue recognition and trade receivable as per relevant accounting standards.

Litigation Matter

The Company has certain significant pending legal proceedings with Judicial/Quasi-Judicial for various complex matters with contractor/transporter, customer and other parties, continuing from earlier years.

Further, the company has material uncertain tax positions including matters under dispute which involve significant judgment to determine the possible outcome of these disputes.

Refer to Note 42 of the Standalone Financial Statement.

Due to the complexity involved in these litigation matters, management's judgement regarding the recognition and measurement of provisions for these legal proceedings is inherently uncertain and might change over time as the outcomes of the legal cases are determined. Accordingly, it has been considered as a key audit matter.

• Assessed the management's position through discussions with the in-house legal expert and external legal opinions obtained by the Company (where considered necessary) on both, the probability of success in the aforesaid cases, and the magnitude of any potential loss.

• Discussed with the management on the development of these litigations during the year ended March 31, 2023.

• Rolled out enquiries to the management of the Company and noted the responses received and assessed the same.

• Assessed the objectivity, independence and competence of the Company's legal counsel (where applicable) involved in the process and legal experts engaged by the company, if any.

• Reviewed the disclosures made by the Company in the Standalone Financial Statement in this regard and emphasized the matter in para 1 of our report.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statement and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information (hereinafter referred as “the Reports”), but does not include the Standalone Financial Statement and our auditor's report thereon. The Reports are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statement 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 Statement, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statement or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statement

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statement that give a true and fair view of the financial position,

financial performance (including other comprehensive income) , changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. 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 Standalone Financial Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Standalone Financial Statement, 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.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statement

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statement 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 Standalone Financial Statement.

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 Statement, 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing

our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system with reference to the Standalone Financial Statement 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 Standalone Financial Statement 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 Standalone Financial Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statement that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statement 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 of any identified misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statement.

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 Statement 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.

Other Matter

The statutory audit was conducted via making arrangements to provide requisite documents/ information through an electronic medium. The Company has made available the following information/ records/ documents/ explanations to us through e-mail and remote secure network of the Company: -

a) Scanned copies of necessary records/documents deeds, certificates and the related records made available electronically through e-mail or remote secure network of the Company; and

b) By way of enquiries through video conferencing, dialogues and discussions over the phone, e-mails and similar communication channels.

It has also been represented by the management that the data and information provided electronically for the purpose of our audit are correct, complete, reliable and are directly generated from the accounting system of the Company, extracted from the records and files, without any further manual modifications so as to maintain its integrity, authenticity, readability and completeness. In addition, based on our review of the various internal audit reports/inspection reports/other reports (as applicable), nothing has come to our knowledge that makes us believe that such an audit procedure would not be adequate.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
