5		Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on 28 April 2022 have approved first interim dividend of ₹ 31.50 per equity share, i.e., 3,150% on face value of ₹ 1/- per equity share for FY 2022-23 amounting to ₹ 11,710 Crore.

6		The Company operates an oil and gas production facility in Rajasthan under a Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”). The management is of the opinion that the Company is eligible for extension of the PSC for Rajasthan (“RJ”) block on same terms w.e.f. 15 May 2020, a matter which was being adjudicated at the Delhi High Court. The Division Bench of the Delhi High Court in March 2021 set aside the single judge order of May 2018 which allowed extension of PSC on same terms and conditions. The Company has appealed this order in the Supreme Court. In parallel, the Government of India (“GoI”), accorded its approval for extension of the PSC, under the Pre-NELP Extension policy as per notification dated 07 April 2017 (“Pre-NELP Policy”), for RJ block by a period of 10 years, w.e.f. 15 May 2020 vide its letter dated 26 October 2018, subject to fulfilment of certain conditions.

One of the conditions for extension relates to notification of certain audit exceptions raised for FY 16-17 as per PSC provisions and provides for payment of amounts, if such audit exceptions result into any creation of liability. In connection with the said audit exceptions, a demand of ₹ 2,752 Crore (US$ 364 million) has been raised by DGH on 12 May 2020, relating to the share of the Company and its subsidiary. This amount was subsequently revised to ₹ 3,465 Crore (US$ 458 million) till March 2018 vide DGH letter dated 24 December 2020. The Company has disputed the demand and the other audit exceptions, notified till date, as in the Company’s view the audit notings are not in accordance with the PSC and are entirely unsustainable. Further, as per PSC provisions, disputed notings do not prevail and accordingly do not result in creation of any liability. The Company believes it has reasonable grounds to defend itself which are supported by independent legal opinions. In accordance with PSC terms, the Company has also commenced arbitration proceedings. The arbitration tribunal (“the Tribunal”) stands constituted and Vedanta also filed its application for interim relief. The interim relief application was heard by the Tribunal on 15 December 2020 wherein it was directed that GOI should not take any coercive action to recover the disputed amount of audit exceptions which is presently in arbitration and that during the arbitration period, GOI should continue to extend the tenure of the Rajasthan Block PSC on terms of current extension. The GOI has challenged the said order before the Delhi High Court which is next listed for hearing on 25 May 2022.

Further, on 23 September 2020, the GOI had filed an application for interim relief before Delhi High Court seeking payment of all disputed dues, which is currently being heard. Simultaneously, the Company is also pursuing with the GOI for executing the RJ PSC addendum at the earliest. In view of extenuating circumstances surrounding COVID-19 and pending signing of the PSC addendum for extension after complying with all stipulated conditions, the GOI has been granting permission to the Company to continue Petroleum operations in the RJ block. The latest permission is valid upto 14 May 2022 or signing of the PSC addendum, whichever is earlier. For reasons aforesaid, the Company is not expecting any material liability to devolve on account of these matters or any disruptions in its petroleum operations.

The Company’s application for renewal of Consent to Operate (“CTO”) for existing copper smelter at Tuticorin was rejected by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (“TNPCB”) in April 2018. Subsequently, the Government of Tamil Nadu issued directions to close and seal the existing copper smelter plant permanently. The Principal Bench of National Green Tribunal (“NGT”) ruled in favour of the Company but its order was set aside by the Supreme Court vide its judgment dated 18 February 2019, on the sole basis of maintainability. Vedanta Limited had filed a writ petition before the Madras High Court challenging various orders passed against the Company. On 18 August 2020, the Madras High Court dismissed the writ petitions filed by the Company, which has been challenged by the Company in the Supreme Court while also seeking interim relief to access the plant for care and maintenance. The hearing on care and maintenance could not be listed at Supreme Court. Instead, the matter is now being heard on merits.

The Company was also in the process of expanding its capacities at an adjacent site (‘Expansion Project’). The High Court of Madras, in a Public Interest Litigation, held that the application for renewal of the Environmental Clearance (“EC”) for the Expansion Project shall be processed after a mandatory public hearing and in the interim, ordered the Company to cease construction and all other activities on the site with immediate effect. In the meanwhile, SIPCOT cancelled the land allotted for the Expansion Project, which was later stayed by the Madras High Court. Further, TNPCB issued an order directing the withdrawal of the Consent to Establish (“CTE”) which was valid till 31 March 2023. The Company has also appealed this action before the TNPCB Appellate Authority and the matter is pending for adjudication. As per the Company’s assessment, it is in compliance with the applicable regulations and hence it does not expect any material adjustments to these financial results as a consequence of the above actions.

8	Income taxes

In June 2018, the Company acquired majority stake in ESL Steel Limited (“ESL”), which has since been focusing on operational turnaround. Based on management’s estimate of future outlook, financial projections and requirements of Ind AS 12 – Income taxes, ESL recognized deferred tax assets of ₹ 3,184 Crore during the year ended 31 March 2021. Consequent to recognition of the said deferred tax credit of ₹ 3,184 Crore, the net tax expense for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2021 was lower to that extent.

During the quarter ended 31 December 2021, ESL has derecognized deferred tax assets on losses expired in the current year amounting to ₹ 122 Crore. Based on revised financial forecasts, management is confident of realising the remaining deferred tax assets fully.

During the previous year, consequent to the declaration of dividend (including from accumulated profits) by the subsidiaries of the Company, the unabsorbed depreciation as per tax laws has been utilized by the Company leading to a deferred tax charge as disclosed in line 9(b)(i) of the above results.

5	Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on 28 April 2022 have approved first interim dividend of ₹ 31.50 per equity share, i.e., 3,150% on face value of ₹ 1/- per equity share for FY 2022-23 amounting to ₹ 11,710 Crore.

6	The Company’s application for renewal of Consent to Operate (“CTO”) for existing copper smelter at Tuticorin was rejected by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (“TNPCB”) in April 2018. Subsequently, the Government of Tamil Nadu issued directions to close and seal the existing copper smelter plant permanently. The Principal Bench of National Green Tribunal (“NGT”) ruled in favour of the Company but its order was set aside by the Supreme Court vide its judgment dated 18 February 2019, on the sole basis of maintainability. Vedanta Limited had filed a writ petition before the Madras High Court challenging various orders passed against the Company. On 18 August 2020, the Madras High Court dismissed the writ petitions filed by the Company, which has been challenged by the Company in the Supreme Court while also seeking interim relief to access the plant for care and maintenance. The hearing on care and maintenance could not be listed at Supreme Court. Instead, the matter is now being heard on merits.

	The Company was also in the process of expanding its capacities at an adjacent site (‘Expansion Project’). The High Court of Madras, in a Public Interest Litigation, held that the application for renewal of the Environmental Clearance (“EC”) for the Expansion Project shall be processed after a mandatory public hearing and in the interim, ordered the Company to cease construction and all other activities on the site with immediate effect. In the meanwhile, SIPCOT cancelled the land allotted for the Expansion Project, which was later stayed by the Madras High Court. Further, TNPCB issued an order directing the withdrawal of the Consent to Establish (“CTE”) which was valid till 31 March 2023. The Company has also appealed this action before the TNPCB Appellate Authority and the matter is pending for adjudication. As per the Company’s assessment, it is in compliance with the applicable regulations and hence it does not expect any material adjustments to these financial results as a consequence of the above actions.

7	The Company operates an oil and gas production facility in Rajasthan under a Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”). The management is of the opinion that the Company is eligible for extension of the PSC for Rajasthan (“RJ”) block on same terms w.e.f. 15 May 2020, a matter which was being adjudicated at the Delhi High Court. The Division Bench of the Delhi High Court in March 2021 set aside the single judge order of May 2018 which allowed extension of PSC on same terms and conditions. The Company has appealed this order in the Supreme Court. In parallel, the Government of India (“GOI”), accorded its approval for extension of the PSC, under the Pre-NELP Extension policy as per notification dated 07 April 2017 (“Pre-NELP Policy”), for RJ block by a period of 10 years, w.e.f. 15 May 2020 vide its letter dated 26 October 2018, subject to fulfilment of certain conditions.

	One of the conditions for extension relates to notification of certain audit exceptions raised for FY 16-17 as per PSC provisions and provides for payment of amounts, if such audit exceptions result into any creation of liability. In connection with the said audit exceptions, a demand of ₹ 2,752 Crore (US$ 364 million) has been raised by DGH on 12 May 2020, relating to the share of the Company and its subsidiary. This amount was subsequently revised to ₹ 3,465 Crore (US$ 458 million) till March 2018 vide DGH letter dated 24 December 2020. The Company has disputed the demand and the other audit exceptions, notified till date, as in the Company’s view the audit notings are not in accordance with the PSC and are entirely unsustainable. Further, as per PSC provisions, disputed notings do not prevail and accordingly do not result in creation of any liability. The Company believes it has reasonable grounds to defend itself which are supported by independent legal opinions. In accordance with PSC terms, the Company has also commenced arbitration proceedings. The arbitration tribunal (“the Tribunal”) stands constituted and Vedanta also filed its application for interim relief. The interim relief application was heard by the Tribunal on 15 December 2020 wherein it was directed that GOI should not take any coercive action to recover the disputed amount of audit exceptions which is presently in arbitration and that during the arbitration period, GOI should continue to extend the tenure of the Rajasthan Block PSC on terms of current extension. The GOI has challenged the said order before the Delhi High Court which is next listed for hearing on 25 May 2022.

	Further, on 23 September 2020, the GOI had filed an application for interim relief before Delhi High Court seeking payment of all disputed dues, which is currently being heard. Simultaneously, the Company is also pursuing with the GOI for executing the RJ PSC addendum at the earliest. In view of extenuating circumstances surrounding COVID-19 and pending signing of the PSC addendum for extension after complying with all stipulated conditions, the GOI has been granting permission to the Company to continue Petroleum operations in the RJ block. The latest permission is valid upto 14 May 2022 or signing of the PSC addendum, whichever is earlier. For reasons aforesaid, the Company is not expecting any material liability to devolve on account of these matters or any disruptions in its petroleum operations.

8	Other income includes dividend income from subsidiaries of ₹ 1,062 Crore, ₹ 4,938 Crore, ₹ NIL Crore, ₹ 7,828 Crore and ₹ 10,369 Crore for the quarter ended 31 March 2022, 31 December 2021, 31 March 2021, year ended 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021 respectively.
