Audit Qualifications and Findings​

Both the standalone and consolidated financial statements received a qualified opinion from the auditors.

Key Audit Concerns​

The auditors noted two primary areas of qualification:

1. Investment Impairment (Standalone): The audit was qualified regarding investments in certain subsidiaries, valued at 2,834.07 lakh as of March 31, 2026. The auditors stated that the subsidiaries have consistently incurred losses, and the management has not carried out a fair valuation of these investments. The lack of independent, verifiable evidence supporting the recoverability of these investments prevents the auditors from determining if an impairment loss, as required by Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 36, is necessary.
2. Forex Balance Valuation (Standalone & Consolidated): The auditors stated they could not comment on the potential effects on the financial statements related to the non-reinstatement of forex balances concerning certain receivables and payables, including those from related parties, as this does not conform with Ind AS 21.

The consolidated audit opinion further noted that the financial statements and information of several subsidiaries (including Kavveri Telecom Infrastructure Limited, EAICOM India Private Limited, Kavveri Technologies Americans Inc., etc.) were not included for the year ended March 31, 2026.
