| 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 Companys 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.
| 7 | The Companys 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 Companys 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 |
| a) | In June 2018, the Company acquired majority stake in ESL Steel Limited (ESL), which has since been focusing on operational turnaround. Based on managements 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.
| b) | 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. |

| 6 | The Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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. |

Exhibit 99.2
Independent Auditors Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Consolidated Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 and 52 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended
To
The Board of Directors of
Vedanta Limited
Report on the audit of the Consolidated Financial Results
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying statement of quarterly and year to date consolidated financial results of Vedanta Limited (Holding Company) and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the Group), its associates and joint ventures for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and for the year ended March 31, 2022 (Statement), attached herewith, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 and 52 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (Listing Regulations)
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors on separate audited financial information of the subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures, the Statement:
| i. | includes the results of the entities as mentioned in Annexure-1; |
| ii. | are presented in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and |
| iii. | gives a true and fair view in conformity with the applicable accounting standards, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and for the year ended March 31, 2022. |
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (the Act). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results section of our report. We are independent of the Group, its associates and joint ventures in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in Other Matter paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial results which describes the uncertainty arising out of the demands that have been raised on the Group, with respect to governments share of profit oil by the Director General of Hydrocarbons and one of the pre-conditions for the extension of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for the Rajasthan oil block is the settlement of these demands. While the Government has granted permission to the Group to continue operations in the block till May 14, 2022 or signing of the PSC addendum, whichever is earlier, the Group, based on external legal advice, believes it is in compliance with the necessary conditions to secure an extension of this PSC, and based on the legal advice, believes that it is in compliance with the necessary conditions to secure an extension of this PSC and that the demands are untenable and hence no provision is required in respect of these demands.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Managements Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results
The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements. The Holding Companys Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group including its associates and joint ventures in accordance with the applicable accounting standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 and 52 of the Listing Regulations. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and joint ventures are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group and its associates and joint ventures and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and joint ventures are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of its associates and joint ventures to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and joint ventures are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its associates and joint ventures.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors 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 the Statement.
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 Statement, 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 control 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 with reference to 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 the Board of Directors. |
| | Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its associates and joint ventures to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in the Statement 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 auditors report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its associates and joint ventures to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group and its associates and joint ventures of which we are the independent auditors and whose financial information we have audited, to express an opinion on the Statement. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial information of such entities included in the Statement of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Statement, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the Statement of which we are the independent auditors 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.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the Circular No. CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated March 29, 2019 issued by the Securities Exchange Board of India under Regulation 33 (8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.

These unaudited financial statements and other financial information have been approved and furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the Statement, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries, joint ventures, unincorporated joint venture and associates, is based solely on such unaudited financial statements and other financial information. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the Management, these financial statements and other financial information are not material to the Group.
Our opinion on the Statement is not modified in respect of the above matters with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports of the other auditors and the financial information certified by the Management.

Independent Auditors Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Audited Standalone Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 and 52 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended
To
The Board of Directors of
Vedanta Limited
Report on the audit of the Standalone Financial Results
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying statement of quarterly and year to date standalone financial results of Vedanta Limited (the Company) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and for the year ended March 31, 2022 (Statement), attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 and 52 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the Listing Regulations).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Statement:
| i. | is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and |
| ii. | gives a true and fair view in conformity with the applicable accounting standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and for the year ended March 31, 2022. |
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (the Act). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to note 7 of the accompanying standalone financial results which describes the uncertainty arising out of the demands that have been raised on the Company, with respect to governments share of profit oil by the Director General of Hydrocarbons and one of the pre-conditions for the extension of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for the Rajasthan oil block is the settlement of these demands. While the Government has granted permission to the Company to continue operations in the block till May 14, 2022 or signing of the PSC addendum, whichever is earlier, the Company, based on external legal advice, believes it is in compliance with the necessary conditions to secure an extension of this PSC and that the demands are untenable and hence no provision is required in respect of these demands. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Managements Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results
The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income of the Company and other financial information in accordance with the applicable accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 and 52 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors 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 the Statement.
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 Statement, 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 control 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 with reference to 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 the Board of Directors. |
| | Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in the financial results 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 auditors 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 Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
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.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial results and other financial information, in respect of an unincorporated joint venture not operated by the Company, whose Ind AS financial results include total assets of Rs 99 crore as at March 31, 2022. The Ind AS financial results and other financial information of the said unincorporated joint venture not operated by the Company have not been audited and such unaudited financial results and other unaudited financial information have been furnished to us by the management and our report on the Ind AS financial statements of the Company, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the said unincorporated joint venture, is based solely on such unaudited information furnished to us by the management. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the Management, these financial results and other financial information of joint venture, is not material to the Company. Our opinion on the Statement is not modified in respect of this matter.
The Statement includes the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 being the balancing figure between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31, 2022 and the published unaudited year-to-date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year, which were subjected to a limited review by us, as required under the Listing Regulations.
