Notes:

 

1.     The Standalone Financial Results of Reliance Infrastructure Limited
("the Company") for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2022 have been

the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment) Rules, 2016.

 

2.       COVID-19 pandemic had impacted businesses across the globe and
India causing significant disturbance and slowdown of economic activities. The
Company has considered all possible impact of COVID-19 in preparation of the
standalone financial results, including assessment of the recoverability of
financial and non-financial assets based on the various internal and external
information and assumptions relating to economic forecasts up to the date of
approval of these financial results. The aforesaid assessment is based on
projections and estimations which are dependent on future development
including government policies. Any changes due to the changes in
situations/circumstances will be taken into consideration, if necessary, as
and when it crystallizes.

 

3.     The Company at its Board Meeting dated September 25, 2021 has
approved issue of unsecured foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs) upto
U.S.$ 100 million maturing at the end of 10 years and 1 day from the issue
date or  the date of the FCCBs being fully paid up, whichever is later, with

convertible into approximately 6.64 crore equity shares of Rs.10 each of the
Company in accordance with the terms of the FCCBs, at a price of Rs. 111
(including a premium of Rs. 101) per equity share.

 

4.     The Company has outstanding obligations payable to lenders and in
respect of loan arrangements of certain entities including
subsidiaries/associates where the Company is also a guarantor where certain
amounts have also fallen due. The Company has repaid substantial debt during
the previous financial year vis a vis certain debts repayment in the current
financial year and is confident of meeting balance obligations by way of time
bound monetisation of its assets and receipt of various claims including
receivable from DAMEPL and accordingly, notwithstanding the dependence on
these material uncertain events, the Company continues to prepare the
Standalone Financial Results on a 'Going Concern' basis.

 

5.     Hon'ble Supreme Court on September 9, 2021 upheld the arbitral
award in favour of Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Limited (DAMEPL), a
subsidiary of the Company, in the matter of the dispute between DAMEPL and
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC), arising due to the termination of
the Concession Agreement for Delhi Airport Metro Express Line Project by
DAMEPL. DMRC was consequently directed to pay termination payment and other
compensation, totaling to Rs. 2,945 crore plus pre-award and post-award
interest up to the date of payment to DAMEPL. DAMEPL had filed execution
petition dated September 10, 2021 before Hon'ble Delhi High Court seeking
execution of the Award against DMRC.

 

DMRC had deposited Rs.1,000 crore on December 8, 2021, Rs. 600 crore on
February 23, 2022 and Rs. 166.44 crore on March 14, 2022, in the escrow
account of DAMEPL, as per Hon'ble Delhi High Court's interim orders from time
to time. DAMEPL has utilised the amount for its debt repayments. Hon'ble High
Court of Delhi on March 10, 2022, in its Final Order, directed DMRC to make
payment of Rs. 824.10 crore within two weeks' time and the remaining amount in
two equal instalments on or before April 30, 2022 and May 31, 2022
respectively.

 

Being aggrieved by a particular paragraph of the judgment dated March 10,
2022, DAMEPL filed a Special Leave Petition before Hon'ble Supreme Court,
limited to the issue of interest on pre-award interest, which was dismissed on
May 5, 2022. DAMEPL is evaluating the judgment and contemplates to go for
review against the judgment and will be filing suitable proceedings for speedy
realization of the sums receivable.

 

6.     With respect to Company's wholly owned subsidiaries engaged in road
projects:

a.        The Company has exposure aggregating to Rs. 2,954.24 crore in
its nine subsidiaries (road SPVs) as at March 31, 2022. Management has
recently performed an impairment assessment against these exposures, by
considering inter-alia the valuations of the underlying subsidiaries carried
out by independent external valuation expert. The Company is confident of
recovering its entire investment in road SPVs. Accordingly, based on the
assessment and external valuation report, impairment of said exposure is not
considered.

 

b.         KM Toll Road Private Limited (KMTR), a subsidiary of the
Company and part of road SPVs referred above, has terminated the Concession
Agreement with National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for Kandla Mundra
Road Project (Project) on May 7, 2019, on account of Material Breach and Event
of Default under the provisions of the Concession Agreement (Agreement) by
NHAI. The operations of the Project have been taken over by NHAI. In terms of
the provisions of the Agreement, NHAI is liable to pay KMTR a termination
payment as the termination has arisen owing to NHAI Event of Default and its
has also raised further claims towards damages for the breaches of NHAI as per
the Agreement. KMTR has invoked dispute resolution process under clause 44 of
the Agreement. Subsequently on August 24, 2020 NHAI has release Rs.181.21
crore towards termination payment, which was utilized toward debt servicing.

 

As a part of the dispute resolution, KMTR has invoked arbitration and it is
confident of fair outcome. KMTR filed its statement of claims before Arbitral
Tribunal claiming termination payment Rs. 866.14 crore as the termination has
arisen owing to NHAI's Event of Default (This amount is arrived at after
adjusting the amount of aforementioned payment received from NHAI). KMTR has
also filed further claims of Rs. 981.63 Crore towards damages for the breaches
of NHAI as per the Agreement. Pending final outcome of the dispute resolution
process and as legally advised, the claims for the Termination Payment are
considered fully enforceable.

Notwithstanding the dependence on above material uncertain events, KMTR
continues to prepare its financial results on a Going Concern basis. The
Company is confident of recovering its entire investment in KMTR of Rs. 544.94
crore as at March 31, 2022, and hence, no provision for impairment of the KMTR
is considered in the financial results. The Investments in the KMTR are
classified as Non Current Assets held for sale as per Ind AS 105, "Non Current
Assets held for sale and discontinued operations".

7.     The listed non-convertible debentures of Rs. 1,064.29 crore as on
March 31, 2022 are secured by way of first pari-passu charge on certain fixed
assets and investments. There are certain shortfalls in the security cover.

8.     The Company has net receivables aggregating to Rs. 1,677 crore from
Reliance Power Group as at March 31, 2022. Management has recently performed
an impairment assessment of these receivables by considering inter-alia the
valuations of the underlying subsidiaries of Reliance Power which are based on
their value in use (considering discounted cash flows) and valuations of other
assets of Reliance Power/its subsidiaries based on their fair values, which
have been determined by external valuation experts. The determination of the
value in use/fair value involves significant Management judgement and
estimates on the various assumptions including relating to growth rates,
discount rates, terminal value, time that may be required to identify buyers,
negotiation discounts etc. Accordingly, based on the assessment, impairment of
said receivables are not considered necessary by the Management.

9.     The Reliance Group of companies of which the Company is a part,
supported an independent Company in which the Company holds less than 2% of
equity shares ("EPC Company") to inter alia undertake contracts and
assignments for the large number of varied projects in the fields of Power
(Thermal, Hydro and Nuclear), Roads, Cement, Telecom, Metro Rail, etc. which
were proposed and/or under development by the Reliance Group. To this end
along with other companies of the Reliance Group the Company funded EPC
Company by way of project advances, subscription to debentures and inter
corporate deposits. The total exposure of the Company as at March 31, 2022 is
Rs 6,526.82 crore (net of provision of Rs. 3,972.17 crore). The Company has
also provided corporate guarantees aggregating of Rs. 1,775 crore. The
activities of EPC Company have been impacted by the reduced project activities
of the companies of the Reliance Group. While the Company is evaluating the
nature of relationship; if any, with the independent EPC Company, based on the
analysis carried out in earlier years, the EPC Company has not been treated as
related party.

Given the huge opportunity in the EPC field particularly considering the
Government of India's thrust on infrastructure sector coupled with increasing
project and EPC activities of the Reliance Group, the EPC Company with its
experience will be able to achieve substantial project activities in excess of
its current levels, thus enabling the EPC Company to meet its obligations.
Based on the available facts, the provision made will be adequate to deal with
any contingency relating to recovery from the EPC Company. The Company has
further provided corporate guarantees of Rs.4,895.87 crore on behalf of
certain companies towards their borrowings. As per the reasonable estimate of
the Management of the Company, it does not expect any obligation against the
above guarantee amount.

Requirements) Regulations, 2015 in respect of debt securities issued by the

(Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015

 

Independent Auditor's Report

 

To The Board of Directors of Reliance Infrastructure Limited

 

Report on the audit of the Standalone Financial Results

 

Disclaimer of Opinion

 

We were engaged to audit the accompanying standalone financial results of
Reliance Infrastructure Limited ("the Company") which includes joint
operations on a proportionate basis listed in Annexure A for the quarter and
year ended March 31, 2022 ("standalone financial results", "the Statement")
attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement
of Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63(2) of the SEBI
(Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as
amended ("Listing Regulations").

 

Because of the substantive nature and significance of the matter described in
the "Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion", we have not been able to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide the basis of our opinion as
to whether these standalone financial results:

 

i.     are presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33
and Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63(2) of the Listing Regulations in
this regard; and

 

ii.    give a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and
measurement principles laid down in the applicable Indian Accounting Standards
and other accounting principles generally accepted in India of the net
profit/(loss) and other comprehensive income and other financial information
for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2022.

 

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

 

1.    We refer to Note 9 to the standalone financial results regarding the
Company's exposure in an EPC Company as on March 31, 2022 aggregating to Rs.
6526.82 Crore (net of provision of Rs. 3,972.17 Crore . Further, the Company
has also provided corporate guarantees aggregating to Rs. 1,775 Crore on
behalf of the aforesaid EPC Company towards borrowings of the EPC Company.

 

 

According to the Management of the Company, these amounts have been funded
mainly for general corporate purposes and towards funding of working capital
requirements of the party which has been engaged in providing Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (EPC) services primarily to the Company and its
subsidiaries and its associates and the EPC Company will be able to meet its
obligation.

 

As referred to in the above note, the Company has further provided Corporate
Guarantees of Rs. 4,895.87 Crore in favour of certain companies towards their
borrowings. According to the Management of the Company these amounts have been
given for general corporate purposes.

 

We were unable to evaluate about the relationship, recoverability and possible
obligation towards the Corporate Guarantees given. Accordingly, we are unable
to determine the consequential implications arising therefrom in the
standalone financial results of the Company.

 

2.   We refer to Note 10 of the Standalone financial results wherein the
loss on invocation of shares and/or fair valuation of shares of investments
held in Reliance Power Limited (RPower) aggregating to Rs. 5,024.88 Crore for
the year ended March 31, 2020 was adjusted against the capital reserve as
against charging the same in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The said
treatment of loss on invocation and fair valuation of investments was not in
accordance with the Ind AS 28 "Investment in Associates and Joint Venture",
Ind AS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and Ind AS 109 "Financial
Instruments". Had the Company followed the above Ind AS's Net Worth of the
Company as at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 would have been lower by Rs.
5,024.88 Crore.

 

As a result of the matters described in paragraph 1 and 2 above, we were not
able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis of our
Opinion on the standalone financial results.

 

Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern

 

We draw attention to Note 4 to the standalone financial results, wherein the
Company has outstanding obligations to lenders and the Company is also a
guarantor for its subsidiaries and associates whose loans have also fallen due
, which indicate that material uncertainty exists that may cast significant
doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, for
the reasons more fully described in the aforesaid note, the accounts of the
Company have been prepared as a Going Concern.

 

Our opinion on the standalone financial results is not modified in respect of
this matter.

 

Emphasis of Matter Paragraph

 

1.   We draw attention to Note 8  to the Statement which describes the
impairment assessment in accordance with Ind   AS 36 "Impairment of assets"
/ Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments" performed by the Company in respect of
net  receivables of Rs.1,677 Crore as at March 31,2022  from Reliance Power
Limited associate of the company   and its Subsidiaries  ("RPower Group") .
This assessment involves significant management judgment and estimates on the
valuation methodology and various assumptions used in determination of value
in use/fair value by independent valuation experts / management as more fully
described in the aforesaid note. Based on management's assessment and
independent valuation reports, no impairment is considered necessary on the
receivables by the management . Our Conclusion on the Statement is not
modified in respect of above matter.

Private Limited (KMTR), a subsidiary of the Company, has terminated the
Concession Agreement with National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for
Kandla Mundra Road Project (Project) on May 7, 2019, on account of Material
Breach and Event of Default under the provisions of the Concession Agreement
by NHAI. The Company is confident of recovering its entire investment of Rs.
544.94 Crore in KMTR, as at March 31, 2022 and no impairment has been
considered necessary against the above investments by the management for the
reasons stated in the aforesaid note. Our Conclusion on the Statement is not
modified in respect of above matter.

 

3.   We draw attention to Note 6(a)  to the Statement which describes the
impairment assessment in accordance with Ind   AS 36 "Impairment of assets"
/ Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments" performed by the Company in respect of
net  receivables of Rs.2954.24 Crore as at March 31,2022 in Nine subsidiaries
i.e. Toll Road SPV's Companies (Excluding KMTR as stated in paragraph 2 above)
. This assessment involves significant management judgment and estimates on
the valuation methodology and various assumptions used in determination of
value in use/fair value by independent valuation experts / management as more
fully described in the aforesaid note. Based on management's assessment and
independent valuation reports, no impairment is considered necessary on the
receivables by the management . Our Conclusion on the Statement is not
