regard, we have relied on the technical data provided by the
various departments.

Revenue recognition for fixed price contracts and cost plus
contracts including the actual cost incurred up to the date
and its comparison with overall contract price and further
estimated costs to complete the project as provided by the
management.
Verified the input cost incurred over the time for satisfaction
of performance obligation. Conducted Test check of the
System and procedures adopted for recording the flow of
transactions along with the audit trail.

Construction & repair contracts
Referred to in Note No. 1 - 2.2(j) of the Financials
Statements
The company recognizes the revenue from Ship/
Submarine Construction/ repair contracts when
the company satisfies a performance obligation in
accordance to Ind-AS 115 Revenue from Contracts
from Customer only when it can reasonably
measure its progress towards complete satisfaction
of obligation or by transferring goods or service to
a customer.
When the control of the goods produced and
rendered services is transferred over time to the
customer, revenue is recognized over time under the
percentage of completion method (PoC). Penalties if
any, are reduced from the revenue.
For the application of the overtime method (PoC
method), the measure of the progress towards
complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is
based on inputs (i.e. cost incurred)
This revenue recognition process is identified as key
audit matter as these contracts involved:
- Identification of actual cost incurred on each
contract.
- These contracts require determination of
stage of completion and significant estimation
of future cost of completion of each contract.
- At the period end, a significant amount of
contract assets or contract liabilities related to
each contract is to be identified.
For the year ended March 31,2025, contract
revenue amounted to T 11,19,604 Lakhs (Previous
year: T 9,06,801 Lakhs).

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements
and Auditor’s Report thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Director’s report and Management
discussion and analysis but does not include the Standalone
Financial Statements and our Auditor’s Report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial
Statements, our responsibilities is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone
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 Board of Directors for
the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are
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
The Management and Board of Directors are also responsible
for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone
Financial Statement
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 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 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 financial controls
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 system with
reference to Standalone 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 and Board
of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s
and Board of Director’s use of the going concern basis
of accounting in preparation of Standalone Financial
Statement 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
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 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of
a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements
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 Statements.
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 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.
