    FUTURE OUTLOOK

    Infrastructure is a key enabler in helping India become a US$ 26 trillion economy. Investments in building and
    upgrading physical infrastructure, especially in synergy with the ease of doing business initiatives, remain
    pivotal to increase efficiency and costs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also recently reiterated that infrastructure
    is a crucial pillar to ensure good governance across sectors.

    With the launch of the "Infrastructure for the Resilient Island States" initiative in November 2021, India will have
    a significant opportunity to improve the lives of other vulnerable nations around the globe.

    Road building accelerated in FY22 by government initiatives like the National Infrastructure Pipeline, National
    Monetization Pipeline, Bharatmala Pariyojana, modifications to the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), and a quick
    pace of asset monetization.

    The PM GatiShakti National Master Plan, which includes implementation, monitoring, and support mechanisms,
    was approved by the Indian Union Cabinet in October 2021.

    For a redesigned, reform-based, and result-linked fresh electricity distribution sector scheme over the next five
    years, the government declared Rs. 305,984 crores (US$ 42 billion). The Mega Investment Textiles Parks
    (MITRA) scheme was introduced to create seven textile parks over three years and world-class infrastructure for
    the textile industry.

    The Union Budget & The Infrastructure Sector:

    • The government has allocated Rs. 10 lakh crore (US$ 130.57 billion) to improve the infrastructure sector,
    giving it a significant boost.

    • The National Highways Authority of India received a budget of Rs. 134,015 crores ($17.24 billion) from the
    government (NHAI).

    • According to the government, The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways will receive an investment of
    Rs. 60,000 crores (US$ 7.72 billion)

    • The Ministry of Housing and Urban affairs will receive $ 9.85 billion from the Government or Rs. 76,549
    Crores.

    • To build and improve the nation's telecom infrastructure, the government gave the Department of
    Telecommunications a budget of Rs. 84,587 crores (US$10.87 billion).

    Over the next three years, 100 PM-GatiShakti Cargo Terminals for multimodal logistics facilities will be built.
    The PM GatiShakti - National Master Plan for multimodal connectivity to economic zones received the majority
    of attention. The PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan will integrate everything—from highways to trains, from
    aviation to agriculture, and many ministries and departments.

    Roadways: Under PM Gati Shakti, two lakh km of national highways are expected to be finished by 2024-25. In
    2022-2023, the government plans to add 25,000 kilometres to the National Highways Network. All over the
    nation, NH construction is moving along more quickly.

    In the road's sector, the Government's policy to increase private sector participation has proved to be a boon for
    the infrastructure industry as many private players are entering the business through the public-private partnership
    (PPP) model.

    Infrastructure support to nation's manufacturers also remains one of the top agendas as it will significantly
    transform goods and exports movement making freight delivery effective and economical.

    Your Company is exploring new opportunities to identify suitable and viable project or to continue and strengthen
    its present business with its existing SPVs keeping in view the current business conditions, financial constraints,
    modern technologies, project deadlines, safety protocols, compliances and market margins.

    reasons stated there under. We were informed that the hon'ble NCLT bench at Hyderabad had

    by us as under. (Refer note 48 to the consolidated financial statements)

    a. Note 48A(1) regarding settlement agreement entered between the company and NHAI on
    30th March 2023.As per the settlement agreement the company and NHAI had agreed for a
    termination payment of Rs.96,803 lakhs against all disputes/claims. The settlement amount
    of Rs.96,803 Lakhs includes termination payment, interest, claims receivable by the
    company net of recoveries by NHAI. The company had received Rs 79,650 lakhs and balance
    settlement amount to be received is Rs 17,153 lakhs. However pending settlement with the
    lenders, the company continues to recognise Net receivable from NHAI of Rs.98,578 Lakhs
    (Net of Rs 79,650 lakhs receipt). Henceforth the expenses (Write off of Receivable) of the
    company are understated by Rs. 81,425 lakhs and assets overstated by Rs. 81,425 lakhs.

    Explanation:

    Since the NHAI has not fully paid the amount as per the settlement agreement dated 30th March, 2023 and
    still the balance settlement amount to be received is Rs 17,153 lakhs, hence SMTL has not written off the
    receivable.

    b. Note 48A(2)(c) to the financial statements regarding non receipt of the confirmations of balances
    from banks and financial institutions in respect of borrowings of Rs. 2,11,996.16 Lakhs for the

    finance charges during the period amounting to Rs 27,467.33 Lakhs as per existing loan
    agreements. We are unable to comment on impact, if any, on loss for the year and the Reserves
    had the confirmations been received from the lenders.

    Explanation:

    Since the accounts of SMTL has become NPA and the lenders have not provided the account statements
    for the period ended 31st March, 2024. The lead banker namely IDBI Bank has already filed an application
    with NCLT under IBC, 2016 and the matter may be admitted and IRP may be appointed at any time.

    c. Note 48A(3) regarding non-recognition of liability towards goods and services Tax (including
    interest and penalty) amounting to Rs 12,392 Lakhs in respect of termination payment received
    from National Highways Authority of India and other reasons stated in the said note. Pending
    the ultimate outcome of this matter, which is presently unascertainable, no adjustments have
    been made in the financial statements.

    Explanation:

    Since the matter is still pending with Commissioner of Appeals and also NHAI has withheld an amount of
    around Rs 17,153 lakhs towards the GST liability, SMTL has not recognised the GST liability in its books
    of accounts. Further the Company is of the opinion that the GST is not applicable on termination payments
    paid/payable by NHAI.

    d. Note 48A(4) wherein during the financial year 2022-23, the company has written off a receivable
    of Rs.1,011.02 Lakhs from Gayatri Projects Limited and written back trade payable of Rs.2,915.68
    Lakhs and claims payable of Rs 22,745 lakhs to Gayatri Projects Limited. However, we have not
    received any confirmation from Gayatri Projects Limited for the write off/writeback.

    NHAI has terminated the project due to non-completion of the project and non-performance of O&M activities
    by the Gayatri Projects Limited (the contractor). As per the settlement agreement with NHAI dated 30.03.2023,
    NHAI has not made any payments with respect to above amounts. Hence SMTL has written off and written
    back the respective receivables and payables.
