EXPLANATIONS ON AUDITORS QUALIFIED OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2026
Your Directors refer to the Qualified Opinion given by the Statutory Auditors on a specific matter relating to Deferred Tax Assets, and would like to present the Management's perspective thereto.
Auditor's Comments
We draw attention to Note 10.2 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statement. As of 31st March, 2026, the Company has recognized Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) (net) amounting to '10,670 lakhs (including ' 1075 lakhs recognized for the year) primarily towards unused business losses. The recognition of these DTA is
based on management's assessment that sufficient taxable profits will be available in future against which such assets can be utilised. In accordance with Ind AS 12, DTA is recognized only when there is convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available for utilization.
The Parent Company has incurred losses during the current year and in absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the management's underlying assumptions for future profitability, we are unable to comment on the reliability of the profit projections or the likely timing and quantum of future taxable profits. Consequently, we are unable to determine the possible effect on the carrying value of the Deferred Tax Assets and the loss for the year.
Management Explanation
Prior to its change of management in January 2024, your company has been in difficult operational and financial phase spanning several years. Persistent lack of business performance had resulted in significant losses over the years. Within two financial years after the change of management, TIL has been placed on strong growth path, plants are being revived at a scale not seen before, new products are being introduced, and Company hopes to gain market share in India and make credible inroads into the export markets in years ahead. In the revival phase of last 24 months, many crucial processes like localization of critical imported componentry and design engineering newer products have not yet yielded full results since, by nature, they will require some more time to reflect in operational performance. Accordingly, your directors feel that profitable growth journey of TIL is expected to be steep from now onwards due to various foundational steps currently underway.
As at the date of Reporting, the Company has Deferred Taxation Asset (net) amounting to ' 10,670 lakhs, primarily towards unused business losses. With operating performance gaining traction in last few quarters, Company Management has reasonable confidence to expand its business profitably in coming years. Management has estimated projected business volumes along with growing order book to generate enough profitability in next few years. Management believes that the unused business losses will be duly adjusted against the taxable profits expected within the specified period.
