(j) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(k) Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan in India, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
- The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
- The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss.
- Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
- Net interest expense or income
The Company treats accumulated leave, as a long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on an actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the period-
end/ year-end. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. The Company presents the entire liability in respect of leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, since it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement beyond 12 months after the reporting date.
(l) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
For the purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
a) Debt instruments at amortised cost.
b) Debt instruments at fair value through Other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
c) Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
d) Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Debt instruments at amoritsed cost
A ‘debt instrument' is measured at amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade receivables, other receivables and loans.
Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the Company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch'). The company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L. Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:
a) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
b) the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, and
i. the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
ii. the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance.
b) Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 18.
c) Loan commitments which are not measured as at FVTPL.
d) Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured as at FVTPL.
The Company follows ‘simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises
impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:
All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss (P&L). This amount is reflected under the head ‘other expenses' in the Statement of Profit and Loss. In the Balance Sheet ECL is presented as an allowance i.e. as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write off criteria, the company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, financial guarantee contracts. Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Loans and borrowings
This category is most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
This category generally applies to borrowings. For more information refer Note 15.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to Statement of Profit or Loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
(m) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash management.
(n) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
- the profit attributable to owners of the Company;
- by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
- the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
- the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(o) Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III to the Act, unless otherwise stated.
b. Terms/rights attached to equity shares
The Company has only one class of equity share having par value of Rs.1 per share. Each holder of equity share is entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.
Every holder of equity shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.
26. Commitments and Contingencies
A. Leases
Operating lease commitments - Company as lessee
Operating leases are mainly in the nature of lease of office premises with no restrictions and are renewable/cancellable at the option of either of the parties. The Company has not entered into any non-cancellable leases. There is 10% escalation clause in the lease agreement. There are no restrictions imposed by lease arrangements. Lease period is less than 12 months and considered as short term so ROU is not recongised.
The Company has not recognised any contingent rent as expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The aggregate amount of operating lease payments recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss is Rs. 8 lakhs (March 31,2024: Rs. 7 lakhs).
B. Capital and other commitments
i) Capital Commitments
The Company has no outstanding capital commitments as at year end. (March 31,2024: Nil)
ii) Other Commitments
a) The company has given undertaking to infuse equity aggregating to Rs. 494,275 lakhs (March 31,2024: Rs. 481,526 lakhs) in GVK Coal Developers (Singapore) Pte. Limited, towards shortfall, if any, of its loan repayment obligations [Also refer note C(ii) below]. Further, the Company has pledged 155,587,500 (March 31,2024: 155,587,500), 130,287,382 (March 31,2024: 130,287,382) and 48,000,000 (March 31, 2024: 48,000,000) shares of GVK Energy Limited, GVK Transportation Private Limited (Admitted into CIRP on 06-Aug-2024) and GVK Airport Developers Limited respectively for securing loan obtained by GVK Coal Developers (Singapore) Pte. Limited, an associate entity in which Company has 10% stake.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended March 31,2025.
33. Fair values
The management assessed that the fair value of loans given, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets, short term borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities or interest bearing nature of these instruments. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
Set out below, is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the company's financial instruments, other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair values:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measuring using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing net asset value.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity shares, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.
b) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation technique used to value financial instruments include:
- The fair value of investment in mutual funds is measured at quoted price or NAV.
- The fair values for non-current investments, other non-current financial assets and borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a borrowing rate at the date of transition. They are classified as level 3 fair values in their fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.
34. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
A. Judgements
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
i. Determination of control and accounting thereof
As detailed in the accounting policy, principles under Ind AS are different from the previous GAAP, especially with respect to assessment of control of subsidiaries. Further, investment in GVK Coal Developers (Singapore) Pte. Ltd has been accounted as associate since the company participates in all significant financial and operating decisions. The company has therefore determined that it has significant influence over this entity, even though it only holds 10% of the voting rights.
ii. Impairment of non-current assets including investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates
Determining whether investment are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the individual investment or the relevant cash generating units. The value in use calculation is based on Discounted Cash Flow (‘DCF') model over the estimated useful life of the power plants, concession on roads etc. Further, the cash flow projections are based on estimates and assumptions relating to conclusion of tariff rates, operational performance of the plants and coal mines, life extension plans, availability and market prices of gas, coal and other fuels, restructuring of loans etc in case of investments in entities in the energy business, estimation of passenger traffic and rates and outcomes of litigations, and settlements may be reached with lenders which are considered as reasonable by the management and significant uncertainties faced including absence of financial closure in respect of GVK Coal Developers (Singapore) Pte Ltd.
Based on such determination the Company has imparied carrying value of its investment in Sutara Road & Infra Limited is Rs 5 Lac (March 31,2024: Rs 2,284 Lakhs, deemed investment in GVK Jaipur Expressway Private Limited).
iii. Also refer note 54 on significant judgement on going concern ability of the Company.
B. Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company has prepared financial statements based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
(i) Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
(ii) Defined employee benefit plans (Gratuity)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated
in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries. Further details about gratuity obligations are given in note 27.
(iii) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
(iv) Depreciation on property, plant and equipment
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives and residual values of all its property, plant and equipment estimated by the management. The management believes that depreciation rates currently used fairly reflect its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment, and the useful lives are in line with the useful lives prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
35 Financial risk management objectives and policies
Financial Risk Management Framework
The Company is exposed primarily to Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk and Market risk (fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rate), which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. The Company assesses the unpredictability of the financial environment and seeks to mitigate potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.
A Price risk
The company's exposure to investment in mutual funds are subject to price and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through profit or loss.
Sensitivity
The table below summaries the impact of increase/decrease of the index on the company's investment in mutual fund and profit/(loss) for the year.
B Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. Credit risk is controlled by analyzing credit limits and creditworthiness of customers on a continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted after obtaining necessary approvals for credit. Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, loans and other financial assets. Trade receivables, Financial guarantee receivables (Other financial assets) and Loans given by the Company result in material concentration of credit risk as these are with related parties.
Exposure to credit risk:
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk was Rs. 21,517 lakhs (March 31,2024: Rs. 13,088 lakhs), being the total of the carrying amount of balances with trade receivables,
Trade receivables, Other financial assets, Loans given:
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date. The Company does not hold collateral as security. Impairment analysis takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information. Significant portion of trade receivables, other financial assets and loans given comprise receivables from related parties and not subject to significant credit risk based on past history.
C. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
D. Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: currency risk and interest rate risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, investments, other financial assets and other financial liabilities.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. As the Company has debt obligations with floating interest rates, exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates are substantially dependent of changes in market interest rates.
As the company has no significant interest bearing assets, the income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
Foreign Currency exchange rate risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's investment in foreign entity and financial asset/liability in relation to foreign entity in respect of financial guarantee. The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in US Dollar against the functional currencies of the Company. The Company evaluates

49 .The company has an investment in GVK Coal Developers (Singapore) Pte. Limited (GVK Coal) which is assessed as an associate to the Company. The Company exercises significant influence on GVK Coal as per Ind AS 28.
The Company has also given guarantees and commitments for loans amounting to USD 1,132.45 Million ( Rs. 969,167 lakhs as at March 31, 2025; Rs. 944,168 lakhs as at March 31, 2024 ) of principal amount (GVKPIL itself guaranteed towards the repayment of limits which shall be lower of either 53.9% (including in respect of the Hedging Agreements if any) of all principal amounts outstanding under the finance documents or USD 692.61 Million) taken by GVK Coal part of which is collateralized by pledge of 155,587,500 (March 31, 2024: 155,587,500), 130,287,382 (March 31, 2024: 130,287,382) and 48,000,000 (March 31,2024: 48,000,000) shares of GVK Energy Limited, GVK Transportation Private Limited and GVK Airport Developers Limited respectively for securing loan obtained by GVK Coal Developers (Singapore) Pte. Limited and has also undertaken to provide financial assistance of USD 3.11 million (Rs. 2,662 lakhs) as at March 31,2025 (Rs. 2,593 lakhs as at March 31,2024) , with respect to which there are multiple significant uncertainties including outlook on the sector, non-achieving of financial closure and clearances for the project, concluding an appropriate solution with various stakeholders including lenders, and necessary environmental and regulatory clearances etc.. The entity's current liabilities exceeded current assets by USD 3,029 million (Rs. 2,592,378 lakhs) as of March 31,2025 (March 31,2024: USD 2,624 million (Rs. 2,187,713 lakhs)) and accumulated losses as of March, 2025 is USD 1,839 million (Rs. 1,573,525 Lakh) based on audited special purpose consolidated financial statements of GVK Coal.
The GVK Coal lenders had also filed a claim in the High Court of Justice Business and Property Courts of England and Wales Commercial Courts (England Court) on November 09, 2020, and have sought to recover the amounts advanced to GVK Coal. During the current financial year 2023-24, the England court vide its order dated October 19, 2023, has crystalized the amount payable by the defendants (GVKPIL and other guarantors/ stakeholders in GVK Coal) at USD 2.19 billion including the amount towards interest.

Certain subsidiaries and jointly controlled entity (group companies) of GVK Energy Limited (‘GVKEL') are facing uncertainties as
detailed below:
a) The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India had deallocated dedicated coal mine allotted to GVK Power (Goindwal Sahib) Limited (GVKPGSL). GVK Coal (Tokisud) Private Limited (GVKCTPL), a subsidiary company of GVKEL and mine operator was offered compensation by the Nominated Authority of Rs. 11,129 Lakhs as against the carrying value of assets of Rs. 31,113 Lakhs as at March 31,2017. GVKCTPL had appealed against the said order in the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi. The aforesaid court vide its order dated March 09, 2017, directed GVKCTPL to submit its claim to the adjudicating authority constituted under the Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Act, 2015. Subsequently GVKCTPL submitted its claim for the balance amount of Rs. 19,882 Lakhs to the aforesaid authority. The nominated authority under the Ministry of Coal vide its order dated 16th March 2022 has further approved and released compensation of Rs.13,867 lakhs. Out of this an amount of Rs.8,883 lakhs have been deposited by nominated authority in interest bearing account with Registrar General of the Court as per the directions of the high court of Delhi dated 11th April 2022 and an amount of Rs.4,984 lakhs have been paid to lenders by nominated authority towards the balance dues payable as per the claims made by the lenders as on the date of vesting orders less the amount already paid to the lenders. Including the above amount of Rs 4,984 lakhs, a total of Rs 23,761 lakhs , being the due on vesting date has been paid to lenders. The nominated authority has advised in the above order to approach Coal Tribunal in respect of disputes including the compensation disallowed regarding R&R costs. The GVKCTPL has accordingly filed the appeal under sec. 27 of the Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Act, 2015 with Coal Tribunal for Rs 34,830 lakhs on August 01,2022 and the next hearing of the case is scheduled on June 1 1,2025 for evidence.
Based on the internal assessment, management believes that GVKCTPL will be appropriately reimbursed for cancelled coal mine. Additionally, the fund lying-in interest-bearing account with Registrar General of the Court will be sufficient to discharge all liabilities and accordingly no provision is required towards corporate guarantee given by GVKEL for loan taken by GVKCTPL and carrying value (Balance of claims) of Rs 6,015 Lakhs.
b) GVK Power (Goindwal Sahib) Limited (“GVKPGSL”) a erstwhile subsidiary company of GVKEL, has been admitted into Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process on October 10, 2022 based on petition filed by Axis Bank Ltd, one of the lenders in the consortium of GVKPGSL with the Hon'ble NCLT, Hyderabad and the Hon'ble NCLT Hyderabad had approved resolution plan vide its order dated December 22, 2023.

The GVKEL has provided Corporate Guarantee to the lenders of GVKPGSL with respect to the amount lent by them. The lenders through security trustee (IDBI Trusteeship services limited) have invoked the corporate Guarantee. Further, during the financial year 2023-24, one of the lenders (IDBI) has filed the case against the GVKEL demanding the amount of Rs.1,494 Crores in the Hon'ble NCLT, Hyderabad and GVKEL has been admitted into Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) vide NCLT order dated May 06, 2025 (order uploaded on the portal on May 07, 2025). Vide the said Order, a moratorium has been declared under Section 14 of the IBC and IRP has been appointed to carry out functions envisaged under the Code including taking charge of management of GVKEL
Meanwhile, one of the suspended director of GVKEL has filed an appeal against the NCLT order before NCLAT, Chennai on May 12, 2025 and next hearing of the case is scheduled on June 02, 2025.
Considering GVKEL is in to CIRP, an appeal against the NCLT order before NCLAT, Chennai and the outcome of the process is pending, the amount which may be ultimately payable in this regard is not determinable at this stage. Hence, no accounting impact is given in the books of accounts and no provision has been made in this regard in the financial statements.
c) GVK Gautami Power Limited (GVKGPL), a jointly controlled entity of GVKEL, has been admitted into Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) during the previous financial year 2023-24, i.e on October 20, 2023 based on petition filed by Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd, one of the lenders in the consortium of GVKGPL with the Hon'ble NCLT, Hyderabad and Resolution professional appointed by NCLT has taken possession of all assets of GVKGPL.

This Corporate Guarantee has not be invoked by the Lenders so far (account became NPA on 1st October 2016) and no demands have been raised on GVKEL. This Corporate Guarantee may be invoked by the lenders of GVKGPL considering the default
therein. In such an eventuality, GVKEL may need to reimburse the same, especially considering that the net assets of GVKGPL is negative. The extent of the liability that may arise in respect of the guarantee given is presently not determinable at present and no provision has been made in this regard in relation to such liability. Please refer note 50 (b).
d) During the earlier years, GVK Energy Ltd. (GVKEL) and Alaknanda Hydro Power Company Limited (AHPCL) have issued debentures vide respective Trust Deed and taken loans from ECL Finance Limited, Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited, India Credit Fund II & Ecap Equities Limited (collectively referred to as “Edelweiss”). These Debentures and Loans are also secured by pledge of shares of GVK Power (Goindwal Sahib) Limited, GVK Coal Tokisud Company Private Limited and AHPCL held by GVKEL and shares of GVKEL held by GVKPIL as investment in respective companies. The loans were further secured by Corporate Guarantee given jointly by GVKEL and GVKPIL.
Since the repayment of loan and interest was defaulted, GVKEL and AHPCL have entered into settlement agreement with Edelweiss on October 31,2020 which resulted in settlement of principal and interest outstanding of Rs.68,730 Lakhs (GVKEL Rs.12,139 Lakhs and AHPCL Rs.56,591 Lakhs) at Rs.52,500 Lakhs (GVKEL Rs.3,800 Lakhs and AHPCL Rs.48,700 Lakhs) along with interest rate of 12.50% pa compound monthly w.e.f.

However, Edelweiss has withdrawn the settlement agreement vide its mail dated April 1 1,2022. Edelweiss has also written letter dated July 08, 2022 invoking the Corporate Guarantee issued by GVKEL and GVKPIL.
Further, since GVKEL and AHCPL could not make the payment as per settlement terms, ECL Finance Limited (Edelweiss) has invoked the pledge of equity shares and transferred 46,60,11,000 Equity shares, each having face value of Rs 10, of AHPCL held by GVK Energy Limited on May 16, 2022. ECL Finance Limited will continue to hold these shares as security on behalf of Edelweiss for the loans taken/NCD issued by AHCPL & GVKEL. ECL Finance Limited reserved the right to sell the same as per the terms of the pledge agreement read with security sharing agreements. ECL finance Limited has further assigned its loan of Rs.27,500 lakhs to Asset Reconstruction Company India Limited (ARCIL) on May 31,2022. (Edelweiss and ARCIL together referred as Lenders).
GVKEL filed a suit before Delhi High Court on May 30, 2022, wherein GVKEL pleaded that because of the invocation and transfer of a valuable asset our liability towards the loan has been discharged and since the value of share is far in excess of the outstanding loan liability, the excess share to be returned. The Hon'ble High Court Delhi has given interim order dated May 31,2022 wherein it is stated that while selling the shares of AHPCL by Lenders, the best offer received by them would be communicated to the GVKEL and GVKPIL as well as to the Court, and an opportunity would be given to them to match the said offer within five days. In the meanwhile, if GVKEL and GVKPIL get an offer for the aforesaid shares, they shall also inform the defendants as well as the Court. In the event GVKEL and GVKPIL are unable to match the offer of the lenders, the lenders would be free to sell the said shares at the best offer received by them. Till the time, the shares which are invoked are sold in the aforesaid manner, the lenders shall not sell any other shares that have been pledged by the GVKEL and GVKPIL with the lenders. However, the lenders shall be free to invoke the pledged shares. Next hearing of the case is scheduled in the month of September 04, 2025.
GVKEL has transferred the liability of AHPCL in its books of account relating to Edelweiss and based on legal opinion, GVKEL has shown the discharge of the loan liability of Edelweiss against the invoked shares till a settlement is arrived at with Edelweiss. GVKEL has not accounted for the impact of the annulment of settlement since they are confident of achieving settlement with Edelweiss. However, on conservative basis, a loss on invocation and transfer of shares, amounting to Rs.19,486 Lakhs during year ended March 31,2023 (being difference in face value of pledged shares invoked by Edelweiss and the liability of Edelweiss appearing in books of GVKEL and AHPCL as per settlement terms) has been accounted in the books of accounts and reported as an exceptional item in the standalone financials of GVKEL and consolidated financials of GVKPIL.

GVK SEZ stood as a Guarantor and mortgaged its land admeasuring 2,506.25 Acres to Syndicate Bank (since merged with Canara Bank) on account of loans taken by the GVK PIL . GVK PIL has since repaid the loan taken from Canara Bank and the bank has also acknowledged the same. However, despite the same, Canara bank has not issued a no due certificate and has not returned the original title documents. The Canara Bank has exercised the right of general lien under section 171 of Indian Contract Act,1872 and has enforced general lien over the title deeds in the name of GVK SEZ for liabilities of GVK Coal (Singapore) PTE Ltd, an associate of GVK PIL. GVK PIL and GVK SEZ have jointly filed writ petition before High Court, Telangana on October 27, 2021, stating that Bank exercising of general lien under section 171 of the Indian contract Act, 1872 is wholly misconceived and illegal and contrary to the terms of Guarantee extended by the GVK SEZ and the matter is yet to be listed. GVKPIL has obtained independent legal opinion based on which the outcome of the subject matter will be positive and the bank will be directed to release the documents given as security.
Enforcement Directorate (ED) had tried to provisionally attach the said Land property in view of investigation under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). However, Hon'ble High Court of Telangana vide its order dated April 22, 2021, has stayed the proceedings of such provisional attachment of Land by issuing show Cause Notice to ED. As on day no response has been submitted and the status quo is maintained.
The matter is under litigation. Pending these litigations, the Investment Property having book value of Rs.1 1,655 Lakh (March 2024: Rs 1 1,655 Lakhs) and deferred tax asset (DTA) of Rs. Nil (As on 31st March 2024 Rs. 3,352 Lakhs) recognized towards possible indexation benefits on sale of this land is shown as recoverable since the Management is confident of winning the cases on merits.
53 .In June 2020, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a First Information Report (FIR) against MIAL, its parent Company GVK Airport Holdings Limited (GVKAHL) (both are erstwhile step-down subsidiaries of the Company), the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Company and has initiated investigation on various matters alleging misuse of funds of MIAL including for the benefit of other GVK group and related parties. CBI has filed a charge sheet before the Chief Metropolitan Court, Mumbai on February 09, 2023, laying as allegation under section 120B read with section 420 of IPC against MIAL, Vice Chairman & erstwhile CFO of the parent Company and four other GVKPIL group companies apart from others. The Court has granted bail to all the accused. The main issue alleged is siphoning of fund of MIAL eventually causing a loss to Airport Authority of India (AAI). Vide order dated 08.12.2023, fresh cognizance of offences in the charge sheet has been taken and accused persons have been summoned. However, the said order has been currently stayed by the Ld. Sessions Court, Mumbai in revision petitions preferred by various accused persons and therefore, the proceedings are currently stayed in the matter and matter will resume only once the stay order gets vacated by the Revision Court. The company is of the view that the case will not stand the test of scrutiny of the court and will eventually be dismissed. The company is also of the view that the charges are unsubstantiated, and no offence u/s section 420 IPC is made out as there is no loss to AAI, Government, or any Tax Authorities as alleged. Considering the status of the proceedings, the implications, if any, that may arise can't be ascertained and would be considered in the financial statements on conclusion of the aforesaid proceedings and next date before Sessions Court in the revision petitions is June 13, 2025.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had also taken up the investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) based on an FIR registered by the CBI. ED had filed a complaint in April 2021 on the same matters against the above-mentioned parties and some of the subsidiaries, joint ventures and step-down subsidiaries of the Company, their directors and officers. ED had filed a complaint before the City Court and Additional Session Judge, Greater Bombay under Section 45 of Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 for commission of offence of Money laundering under section 3, read with section 70, Punishable u/s 4 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. The matter is currently at the stage of adjudication of application on behalf of Accused-4 seeking supply of all the un-relied documents and un-relied statement u/s 50 PMLA and is fixed for filing reply of Enforcement Directorate on June 19,2025.
The Audit Committee of the Company, based on the legal advice received by the Audit committee of MIAL, have decided not to proceed with any independent investigation on the matters mentioned in the FIR or the complaint filed by ED. Considering the status of the proceedings with cases related to CBI and ED, the implications, if any, that may arise on the GVKPIL can't be ascertained and would be considered in the financial statements on conclusion of the aforesaid investigation..
54 .As at March 31, 2025, The company has also provided guarantees and commitments and/or has undertaken to provide financial assistance on behalf of various entities and as further detailed in notes 49 and 50 (referring to notes on GVK Coal Developers (Singapore) Pte Limited and GVK Energy Limited), uncertainties are being faced by various projects such as delays /non development of coal mines in an overseas project where the parent Company has provided guarantees and commitments for the borrowings, losses incurred by gas based power plant in the absence of gas and litigations on rights to claim capacity charge, arbitration on delay of commencement of road projects, termination of various projects etc. Various guarantees given by GVKPIL and GVK Energy Limited (GVKEL) on behalf of their subsidiaries, associates and joint controlled entity have been invoked by the lenders. The company has been admitted into CIRP vide NCLT order dated 12th July 2024 in CP. 260/2022 and order uploaded on the portal on July 15, 2024 (Insolvency Commencement Date). These factors indicate significant doubt on going concern ability of the GVKPIL group. The financial statements of the GVKPIL Group have been prepared on going concern basis as management believes that the outcome of the CIRP shall keep the company as going concern.
55 .The Company and its erstwhile subsidiary GVK Airport Developers Limited (GVK ADL) had entered into a binding agreement comprising a co-operation agreement and other related agreements with Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) on August 31,2020 and subsequent dates.

AAHL has since acquired the debt of GVKADL from lenders and has converted the same to equity acquiring controlling interest in GVKADL on July 13, 2021. Consequently GVKADL, Bangalore Airport & Infrastructure Developers Limited (BAIDL), GVKAHL, MIAL and Navi Mumbai International Airport Limited (NMIAL) are no longer subsidiaries of the Company from July 13, 2021.
