DIRECTORS' REPORT

Dear Members,

Your directors take pleasure in presenting the 19th Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements of your Company for the Financial Year ended on 31st March 2026.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

The business of hotel industry remains positive due to increasing tourism, urbanization, rising middle-class spending, and government focus on infrastructure and hospitality development. In India, the industry is expected to witness sustained growth driven by domestic travel demand, religious tourism, business expansion, and international events.

The outlook for the Indian hotel industry during FY 2026–27 remains strongly positive, supported by rising domestic tourism, business travel, weddings, MICE events (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Exhibitions), and improving infrastructure. Industry reports indicate continued revenue growth, healthy occupancy, and strong pricing power for hotels across major cities and emerging destinations. India's hospitality sector is becoming increasingly domestic-demand driven. Leisure travel, religious tourism, weekend tourism, and experiential travel are contributing significantly to occupancy growth. Industry reports suggest hotel demand growth is likely to remain higher than room supply additions over the next few years, helping hotels maintain higher occupancy and room tariffs.

Reply of the Management to the Comments/ Observations of the Statutory Auditors' Report:

The Statutory Auditors have provided an Adverse Opinion in their Statutory Auditors Report. The same is reproduced below along with the management reply as required under clause (f) of sub-section (3)

of Section 134 of the Companies Act, 2013:

Clause Statutory Auditors' Remark Management's Reply
Basis for Adverse Opinion
1. We draw attention to Note 43 to the standalone financial statements:
a. As per clause (v) of Schedule 2 to the Framework Agreement, Saraf Group shall have the option to buy the Hyatt Regency, Mumbai (the principal asset of the Company) from the Company any time after the successful withdrawal of CIRP and revocation of the Trading suspension. Moreover, in case of exercise of such option by Saraf Group, neither the Company nor Saraf Group shall be liable to pay any other amount to each other. Though the Company is not a party to the said Framework Agreement, the subsequent actions of the Board of Directors of the Company, in seeking and obtaining the approval of the shareholders of the Company to secure the amounts received from Saraf Group to create charge/lien over Hyatt Regency, Mumbai indicates that the Board of Directors of the Company have taken cognizance of the Framework Agreement. We also note that in the audited financial statements of Novak Hotels Private Limited, the party who has been identified by Saraf Group as the person who has funded the said amount of Rs. 39,000 lakhs has stated these amounts as advances for acquiring Hyatt Regency, Mumbai.

In this regard, the following matters are noted and hereby reported:
i Considering the provisions of the Framework Agreement providing an option to Saraf Group to acquire Hyatt Regency, Mumbai and manner of presentation of such amounts by the Group Company of Saraf Group, we are unable to state if the classification of amounts received is in the | 1. Novak Hotels Private Limited ("Saraf Group" or "lender") had advanced an amount of Rs. 37,100 lakhs till March 31, 2024 and further Rs.1,900 Lakhs during the year thus aggregating to Rs.39,000 Lakhs to the Company which was utilized for making all payments to creditors, all other regulatory and necessitated expenses. The amount was received in terms of a framework agreement between the promoters of the Company and Saraf Group entered into as part of the insolvency resolution process of the Company. Whilst the Company is not a party to the framework agreement, the Company has been informed by its promoters, who are also on the Board of Directors of the Company, that the amount was in the nature of a loan and has accordingly been disclosed as "Borrowings" in note 22 to the standalone financial statements. The Company had recognized an interest expense of Rs. 2,200 lakhs as on March 31, 2024. Further, the Company has recognized an interest expense of Rs. 198 lakhs being 9% p.a. on Rs.2,200 lakhs during the financial year 2024-25 and Rs. 198 lakhs during the F.Y. 2025-26. |

nature of a borrowing or an advance for sale of assets and the presentation of such amounts as non-current.
ii Section 180(1)(a) of the Act restricts the power of the Board of Directors from sale, lease or otherwise dispose of the whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking of the company without the prior approval of the members of the Company. In the instant case, the approval of the members of the Company was obtained only for creating security on the assets and the information regarding the exercise of option granted to Saraf Group was not informed to the members.
iii Though the members of the Company approved creation of a charge / security on Hyatt Regency, Mumbai, the Company is yet to file the necessary forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and therefore is not in compliance with the requirements of the Act.
iv If the intention is to sell Hyatt Regency, Mumbai in return of the fund infusion by Saraf Group, these financial statements should have been prepared considering the requirement of Ind AS 105 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Also refer our reporting on Going Concern assumption in paragraph 2 below.
b. The Company has not recognized interest expense of Rs. 7,845.07 lakhs and certain expenses of Rs. 1,598.39 lakhs towards reimbursement, as claimed by Saraf Group. In the absence of agreed terms and conditions in respect of the amounts received, we are unable to comment on the amount of interest that should have been accrued by the Company in these standalone financial statements. Notwithstanding the above, if the amounts received are in the nature of borrowings as considered by the Company, as per section 186(7) of the Companies Act, 2013, such borrowings shall have a minimum interest rate that is not lower than the prevailing yield of one year, three year, five year or ten year
government security closest to the tenor of the loan. However, even considering the minimum rate of interest as stipulated in Section 186(7) of the Act, such interest amount that has not been recognised in these standalone financial statements is expected to be material and will represent a substantial proportion of the standalone financial statements. c. Further, there is an unreconciled balance of Rs. 242.64 lakhs in the amounts stated as borrowings in note 20 to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, the recorded balance in the standalone financial statements being lower 2. The Company has prepared these standalone financial statements on a going concern basis considering the approved settlement proposal under Section 12A of IBC 2016 and the steps being taken by the Company to meet its regulatory requirements and reporting obligations. However, the Company's current liabilities exceed the current assets by Rs. 42,432.87 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. Considering the above and in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the Company's ability to meet its obligations, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and the standalone financial statements have not been prepared on any other basis of accounting acceptable in the circumstances and also do not adequately disclose this matter. 2. The Company owns Hotel Hyatt Regency in Mumbai ("Hotel"). The lockdown and restrictions imposed on
various activities due to COVID -19 pandemic in India had significantly and adversely affected the operations of the Hotel. The Company could not run its Hotel operations as funding restrictions had been imposed by one of the lender banks. Despite Central Government's/Reserve Bank of India's scheme to provide financial support to the beleaguered hospitality industry through the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS), the lender bank of the Hotel refused to release the funds that the Company was entitled to under ECLGS and needed as a lifeline for normalizing its operations. Such actions of the lender bank led to suspending of the operations of the Hotel in June 2021, which in turn resulted in the Company's financial distress. On August 19, 2021, lender bank filed Section 7 application before the Adjudicating Authority (National Company Law Tribunal), New Delhi Bench IV claiming a default of an amount of Rs. 26,407.35 lakhs. The Adjudicating Authority (NCLT), New Delhi passed an order dated September 16, 2022 admitting the section 7 petition and initiated Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process ("CIRP") against the Company. On January 09, 2024, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has approved the settlement proposal under Section 12A of IBC 2016 submitted by the promoters and suspended Directors of the Company. With the approval of the settlement proposal, the order dated September 16, 2022 admitting section 7 application under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 has been set aside and the CIRP of the Company has been closed. The Company is in the process of complying with all regulatory requirements and reporting obligations. Considering the above, these standalone financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis assuming that the Company will continue as going concern and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business from the date of approval of these standalone financial statements by the Board of Directors.
3.The Company has neither provided us with proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of property, plant and equipment nor has provided us with the information regarding the physical verification of property, plant and equipment. Therefore, we are unable to comment on the existence of the property, plant and equipment balance of Rs. 1,491.64 lakhs as stated in note 3.1 to the accompanying standalone financial statements.
4. Outstanding recoverable/payables balances with the Government Authorities are subject to reconciliation with the statutory records and consequential adjustment, if any. Further, in the absence of complete period details of "statutory dues payable" as referred in note 45 to the standalone financial statements, we are unable to comment on the adequacy of interest expense on statutory dues recognized in the standalone statement of profit and loss for the year ended March 31, 2026. 3. The Company is revived on 9th January, 2024 since than the Management is busy with doing pending compliances with respect of BSE and NSE Stock Exchange and other concerned Authorities. The Mumbai hotel is in shut condition as on date, however, the Company is in process to evaluate PPE (Property, Plant & Machinery) by way of physical verification along-with location of each item before commencing the operation.
4. In view of management disputes, financial and operational issues and subsequent commencement of CIRP in respect of the Company w.e.f. 16th September 2022, the Company was not able to comply with certain compliance requirements as stated the Secretarial Audit Report. Also, certain records of the Company could not be retrieved due to lack of resources. However, after the closure of CIRP on 9th January 2024, the Company is in the process of complying with all applicable laws and earnest efforts are being made by the Company in this regard. Some of the old liabilities which are under reconciliation with the books, however doing thing any material consequential impact will not be arisen.

ANNEXURE 2 TO THE DIRECTORS' REPORT

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The ongoing Israel–Iran conflict has become one of the biggest geopolitical risks to the global economy in 2026. Its impact is being felt mainly through oil prices, inflation, trade disruptions, financial markets, and investor confidence. The conflict has already contributed to inflation spikes in several countries. In the United States, inflation reportedly rose to 3.8% in April 2026, largely because of energy costs. Economists expect weaker GDP growth if the conflict continues for a prolonged period. S&P Global estimated that a severe regional escalation could temporarily reduce global GDP significantly. India is particularly sensitive because it imports most of its crude oil. India's RBI may also become cautious on interest-rate cuts if inflation rises further. The biggest variable remains the duration of the conflict and whether energy supply routes in the Gulf remain disrupted.

INDIAN ECONOMY

In India, the hospitality sector is projected to continue recording healthy revenue growth, with industry estimates indicating growth of around 9–12% in FY 2026 driven by strong occupancy levels and improved average room rates (ARRs). Premium hotel occupancy is expected to remain robust in the range of 72–74%, while room tariffs are anticipated to witness steady growth owing to demand outpacing new supply additions in major cities.

The sector continues to witness strong demand from domestic leisure tourism, destination weddings, religious tourism, concerts, sporting events, and corporate travel. Tier-II and Tier-III cities are also emerging as important hospitality markets due to improving connectivity, rising disposable incomes, and expansion of branded hotel chains.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

The Indian hospitality industry continued its growth momentum during FY 2025-26, supported by robust domestic travel demand, recovery in international tourism, increasing business travel, and sustained growth in the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) segment. The industry witnessed healthy occupancy levels, improved Average Room Rates (ARRs), and continued expansion across leisure, luxury, and mid-market segments.

Demand growth continued to outpace room supply in several key markets, leading to improved pricing power for hotel operators and stronger operational performance across the sector. Premium hotel occupancy across India remained strong during FY 2025-26, supported by domestic leisure travel, destination weddings, religious tourism, corporate travel, concerts, sporting events, and government-led tourism initiatives.

The hospitality sector also benefited from increasing air connectivity, infrastructure development, digital travel platforms, and rising consumer preference for branded hospitality experiences. Global hospitality brands and domestic operators continued aggressive expansion plans in India, reflecting long-term confidence in the market potential.

India's hotel industry is projected to grow between 9% and 12% during FY2026, with demand expected to remain resilient across key segments despite a high base effect from previous years.

INDIAN HOSPITALITY OUTLOOK

The outlook for the hospitality industry remains positive over the medium to long term. Industry reports indicate continued growth in occupancy levels, ARR, and Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR), supported by favourable demand-supply dynamics across major hospitality markets.

Key growth drivers expected to support the sector include:

  • Sustained domestic leisure travel demand;
  • Expansion of corporate travel and MICE activities;
  • Growth in destination weddings and social events;
  • Increasing religious and experiential tourism;
  • Rising penetration into Tier-II and Tier-III cities;
  • Digital transformation and data-driven revenue management;
  • Asset-light expansion strategies by hospitality operators;
  • Increasing demand for wellness, luxury, and sustainable tourism experiences.

Industry estimates indicate that premium room inventory growth may continue to lag demand growth over the next few years, which is expected to support occupancy and pricing levels across key markets.

The sector is also witnessing increasing investments in branded residences, mixed-use hospitality developments, serviced apartments, and experiential destinations, reflecting evolving consumer preferences and long-term investment confidence in tourism-linked assets.

OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS, RISKS AND CONCERNS

Opportunities

In the hospitality industry, operators should look to capitalize on evolving consumer preferences by integrating smart technologies, such as contactless check-ins and AI-driven personalization, to enhance the guest experience. Additionally, businesses can target emerging markets like "bleisure" travel (combining business and leisure) and eco-tourism. Creating unique local experiences, offering flexible extended-stay packages, and leveraging digital marketing platforms allow properties to tap into new, high-value demographics and generate sustainable revenue.

Threats

The hospitality sector faces significant threats from disruptive business models like short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb), which increase market competition and alter traditional pricing structures. Unfavorable economic conditions, such as inflation and fluctuating consumer discretionary spending, can quickly reduce travel demand. Furthermore, rapid technological changes and new luxury competitors can render established services obsolete, requiring businesses to continuously adapt to stay relevant.

Risks (Operational & Financial)

Operational and financial risks revolve around the day-to-day challenges of running a property, particularly the tight labor market and widespread staff shortages, which can compromise service quality. Rising operational costs—including increased expenses for food, utilities, and wages—directly impact profit margins. Additionally, businesses face physical and legal risks such as workplace safety hazards, supply chain disruptions, and the ever-present vulnerability to natural disasters.

Concerns

Industry-wide concerns often focus on reputational damage, particularly the rapid spread of negative reviews on social media platforms, which can instantly deter potential guests. Data privacy and cybersecurity remain major concerns as hotels and restaurants increasingly collect, store, and process sensitive guest information. Moreover, businesses are increasingly concerned with shifting regulatory environments, compliance requirements, and managing long-term environmental sustainability pressures.

Conclusion

For 2026–27, the hotel industry outlook is broadly positive, especially in India, due to strong domestic tourism, event-driven travel, luxury demand, and limited room supply. However, profitability and long-term success will depend on how effectively hotels manage rising costs, technology adoption,

sustainability expectations, and evolving traveler preferences.

During the period under review, the Company engaged in only one segment of Hotel Business hence segment wise performance is not applicable.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Members of Asian Hotels (West) Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Adverse Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of Asian Hotels (West) Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and notes to the standalone financial statements including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the "standalone financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid standalone financial statements do not give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and do not give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of the affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2026, its loss (including other comprehensive loss), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Adverse Opinion

  1. We draw attention to Note 44 to the standalone financial statements:

a. As per clause (v) of Schedule 2 to the Framework Agreement, Saraf Group shall have the option to buy the Hyatt Regency, Mumbai (the principal asset of the Company) from the Company any time after the successful withdrawal of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process and revocation of the Trading suspension. Moreover, in case of exercise of such option by Saraf Group, neither the Company nor Saraf Group shall be liable to pay any other amount to each other. Though the Company is not a party to the said Framework Agreement, the subsequent actions of the Board of Directors of the Company, in seeking and obtaining the approval of the shareholders of the Company to secure the amounts received from Saraf Group to create charge/lien over Hyatt Regency, Mumbai indicates that the Board of Directors of the Company have taken cognizance of the Framework Agreement. We also note that in the audited financial statements of Novak Hotels Private Limited, the party who has been identified by Saraf Group as the person who has funded the said amount of Rs. 39,000 lakhs has stated these amounts as advances for acquiring Hyatt Regency, Mumbai.

In this regard, the following matters are noted and hereby reported:

i. Considering the provisions of the Framework Agreement providing an option to Saraf Group to acquire Hyatt Regency, Mumbai and manner of presentation of such

amounts by the Group Company of Saraf Group, we are unable to state if the classification of amounts received is in the nature of a borrowing or an advance for sale of assets and the presentation of such amounts as non-current.

ii. Section 180(1)(a) of the Act restricts the power of the Board of Directors from sale, lease or otherwise dispose of the whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking of the company without the prior approval of the members of the Company. In the instant case, the approval of the members of the Company was obtained only for creating security on the assets and the information regarding the exercise of option granted to Saraf Group was not informed to the members.

iii. Though the members of the Company approved creation of a charge / security on Hyatt Regency, Mumbai, the Company is yet to file the necessary forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and therefore is not in compliance with the requirements of the Act.

iv. If the intention is to sell Hyatt Regency, Mumbai in return of the fund infusion by Saraf Group, these financial statements should have been prepared considering the requirement of Ind AS 105 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Also refer our reporting on Going Concern assumption in paragraph 2 below.

b. The Company has not recognized interest expense of Rs. 7,845.07 lakhs and certain expenses of Rs. 1,598.39 lakhs towards reimbursement, as claimed by Saraf Group. In the absence of agreed terms and conditions in respect of the amounts received, we are unable to comment on the amount of interest that should have been accrued by the Company in these standalone financial statements. Notwithstanding the above, if the amounts received are in the nature of borrowings as considered by the Company, as per section 186(7) of the Companies Act, 2013, such borrowings shall have a minimum interest rate that is not lower than the prevailing yield of one year, three-year, five year or ten-year government security closest to the tenor of the loan. However, even considering the minimum rate of interest as stipulated in Section 186(7) of the Act, such interest amount that has not been recognised in these standalone financial statements is expected to be material and will represent a substantial proportion of the standalone financial statements.

c. Further, there is an unreconciled balance of Rs. 242.64 lakhs in the amounts stated as borrowings in note 20 to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, the recorded balance in the standalone financial statements being lower.

  1. The Company has prepared these standalone financial statements on a going concern basis considering the approved settlement proposal under Section 12A of IBC 2016 and the steps being taken by the Company to meet its regulatory requirements and reporting obligations. However, the Company's current liabilities exceed the current assets by Rs. 42,432.87 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. Considering the above and in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the Company's ability to meet its obligations, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and the standalone financial statements have not been prepared on any other basis of accounting acceptable in the circumstances and also do not adequately disclose this matter.

  2. The Company has neither provided us with proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of property, plant and equipment nor has provided us with the information regarding the physical verification of property, plant and equipment. Therefore, we are unable to comment on the existence of the property, plant and

equipment balance of Rs. 1,491.64 lakhs as stated in note 3.1 to the accompanying standalone financial statements.

  1. Outstanding recoverable/payables balances with the Government Authorities are subject to reconciliation with the statutory records and consequential adjustment, if any. Further, in the absence of complete period details of "statutory dues payable" as referred in note 4 to the standalone financial statements, we are unable to comment on the adequacy of interest expense on statutory dues recognized in the standalone statement of profit and loss for the year ended March 31, 2026.

Had the impact of observations mentioned in para 1(b) being considered, the total expenses for year ended March 31, 2026 would have been higher by Rs. 9,443.46 lakhs, resulting in increase in net loss before tax by Rs. 9,443.46 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2026. The loss would have been Rs. 10,447.77 lakhs instead of reported loss of Rs. 1,004.31 lakhs. The total comprehensive loss would have been Rs. 10,298.33 Lakhs as against the reported total comprehensive loss of Rs. 854.87 lakhs and the loss per share would have been Rs. 90.05 per share as against the reported loss per share Rs. 7.34 per share.

We conducted our audit of standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements 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 (ICAI) together with the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our adverse opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matters described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

We also note that in the audited financial statements of Novak Hotels Private Limited, the party who has been identified by Saraf Group as the person who has funded the said amount of Rs. 39,000 lakhs has stated these amounts as advances for acquiring Hyatt Regency, Mumbai. tally with the confirmation received from the party.

In this regard, the following matters are noted and hereby reported: Since there are contradictory information in the audit evidence provided to us, this is a matter of modification in our Audit Report. See paragraph 1 of Basis for Adverse Opinion section above.

b. Further, the Company has not recognized interest expense amounting to Rs. 7,845.07 lakhs and certain expense reimbursements amounting to Rs. 1,598.39 lakhs, as claimed by the entity which advanced the funds. Due to the absence of agreed terms for these advances, we are unable to determine the amount of interest and expenses that should have been recognized in the standalone financial statements. Notwithstanding this, if the said advances are considered to be borrowings—as assumed by the Company—then, as per the provisions of Section 186(7) of the Companies Act, 2013, a minimum interest should be charged based on the prevailing yield of government securities corresponding to the tenor of the loan. Even by applying this statutory minimum rate, the unrecognized interest would be material and would have a significant impact on the standalone financial statements.
Additionally, as disclosed in Note 20 to the standalone financial statements, there is an unreconciled difference of Rs.242.64 lakhs between the Company’s records and the balance reported, with the balance recorded

Due to the significance of the matters described above and their pervasive impact on the standalone financial statements, this matter was considered to be of significant importance in our audit of the standalone financial statements
Assessment of Going Concern
The Company has prepared these standalone financial statements on a going concern basis considering the approved the settlement proposal under Section 12A of IBC 2016 and the steps being taken by the Company to meet its regulatory requirements and reporting obligations. However, the Company’s current liabilities exceeds the current assets by Rs. 42,432.87 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. Considering the above and in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the Company’s ability to meet its obligations, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and the standalone financial statements have not been prepared on any other basis of accounting acceptable in the circumstances and also do not adequately disclose this matter.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of its report (herein after called as "Board Report") which comprises various information required under section 134(3) of the Companies Act 2013 but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Board Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of our audit report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the Board Report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 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 Standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board of Directors and management are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Standalone Financial Statements

Our Objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditor's 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 decision of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

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 standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and to 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 an adequate internal financial control with reference to the standalone 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 management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements 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 auditor's 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 standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditor’s Report referred to in paragraph 3(g) under the heading “Report on other Legal and Regulatory requirements” of our report of even date on the Standalone Financial Statements of Asian Hotels (West) Limited

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to the Standalone Financial Statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements of Asian Hotels (West) Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2026 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statements

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to standalone financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls with reference to the Standalone Financial Statements

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statement included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to the standalone financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our adverse audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to the Financial Statements

A company's internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of standalone financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the standalone financial statements.

Adverse Opinion

Due to the effect of the matters stated in the Basis of Adverse Opinion section below, in our opinion, the Company did not maintain internal financial controls with reference to the standalone financial statements during the year ended March 31, 2026.

Basis of Adverse Opinion

(a) The Company did not have adequate controls over obtaining confirmation of balances from lenders, reconciling such balances and recording entries or taking other actions, as maybe deemed necessary to address such differences.
(b) The Company's controls over assessing appropriateness of use of going concern assumption were not adequate since the assessment of the Company in the use of such assumption did not consider the financial condition of the Company as stated in the standalone financial statements nor was supported by business plans.
(c) The Company's internal controls did not address the assertion of existence of the Company's Property Plant and Equipment and therefore its valuation as at March 31, 2026.
(d) The Company's internal controls did not enable the determination and accrual of interest that may be due on delayed remittances of statutory dues.

We have considered the adverse opinion reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company, and the adverse opinion has affected our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company and we have issued an adverse opinion on the standalone financial statements.

B Fair values hierarchy

The fair value of financial instruments as referred to in note (A) above has been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities [Level 1 measurements] and lowest priority to unobservable inputs [Level 3 measurements].

The categories used are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market;

Level 2: Directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and

Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a net asset value or valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

The management assessed that fair values of current loans, current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade receivables, other receivables, short term borrowings, trade payables and other current financial liabilities approximate their respective carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

(i) Non-current investments and non-current financial liabilities are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, individual creditworthiness of the customer and other market risk factor.
(ii) The fair values of the Company's fixed interest-bearing liabilities, loans and receivables are determined by applying discounted cash flows ('DCF') method, using discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at March 31,2026 was assessed to be insignificant.

C. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, security deposits taken, employee related payables, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial assets include investments, loan to subsidiary, security deposits given, employee advances, trade and other receivables, cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's Board and Senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior management is supported by Board and Risk Management Committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The Risk Management Committee provides assurance to the Company's senior management that the Company's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company's policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include investments, loans and borrowings, deposits and advances.

The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

The sensitivity analysis have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt, the ratio of floating to fixed interest rates of the debt and the proportion of financial instruments in foreign currencies are all constant in place at March 31, 2026.

The analysis exclude the impact of movements in market variables on: the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions.

The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analysis:

  • The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed towards interest Rate Risk as the Company borrowed funds on fixed Interest based.

Interest rate risk exposure

Below is the overall exposure of the Company to interest rate risk:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

Trade receivables:

Customer credit risk is managed by company subject to the policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored for any expected default in repayment.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 11. The Company does not hold collateral as security.

Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company's finance department in accordance with the Company's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments.

The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 is the carrying amounts of the financial instruments.

Liquidity risk

The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts and bank loans. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The Company has access to a sufficient variety of sources of funding and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lender

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

38 Capital management

For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, preference share capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the shareholders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company's policy is to keep the gearing ratio between 43% and 48%. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables and cash and cash equivalents.

Particulars As at March 31, 2026 As at March 31, 2025
Total outstanding liability 45,356.67 45,833.23
Less: Cash and Cash equivalents 118.68 695.65
Net outstanding liability (A) 45,237.99 45,137.58
Equity share capital (Refer note 14) 1,165.12 1,165.12
Other Equity (Refer note 15) 8,881.60 9,736.47
Total capital (B) 10,046.72 10,901.59
Total (C)=(A+B) 55,284.71 56,039.17
Gearing ratio (A)/(C) (%) 81.83% 80.55%

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Members of Asian Hotels (West) Limited

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Adverse Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Asian Hotels (West) Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the Holding Company" or "the Company") and its subsidiary (the Holding Company and its Subsidiary together referred to as "the Group") which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026, the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the "Consolidated Financial Statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of reports of the other auditors on separate financial statements of the Subsidiary as referred to in the "Other Matters" section below, because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid Consolidated Financial Statements do not give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of the affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2026, its consolidated profits (including consolidated other comprehensive loss), consolidated cash flows and its consolidated changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Adverse Opinion

  1. We draw attention to Note 48 to the consolidated financial statements:

a. As per clause (v) of Schedule 2 to the Framework Agreement, Saraf Group shall have the option to buy the Hyatt Regency, Mumbai (the principal asset of the Company) from the Holding Company any time after the successful withdrawal of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) and revocation of the Trading suspension. Moreover, in case of exercise of such option by Saraf Group, neither the Holding Company nor Saraf Group shall be liable to pay any other amount to each other. Though the Holding Company is not a party to the said Framework Agreement, the subsequent actions of the Board of Directors of the Holding Company, in seeking and obtaining the approval of the shareholders of the Holding Company to secure the amounts received from Saraf Group to create charge/lien over Hyatt Regency Mumbai indicates that the Board of Directors of the Holding Company have taken cognizance of the Framework Agreement. We also note that in the audited financial statements of Novak Hotels Private Limited, the party who has been identified by Saraf Group as the person who has funded the said amount of

Rs. 39,000 lakhs has stated these amounts as advances for acquiring Hyatt Regency, Mumbai.

In this regard, the following matters are noted and hereby reported:

i. Considering the provisions of the Framework Agreement providing an option to Saraf Group to acquire Hyatt Regency, Mumbai and manner of presentation of such amounts by the Group Company of Saraf Group, we are unable to state if the classification of amounts received is in the nature of a borrowing or an advance for sale of assets and the presentation of such amounts as non-current.

ii. Section 180(1)(a) of the Act restricts the power of the Board of Directors from sale, lease or otherwise dispose of the whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking of the Holding Company without the prior approval of the members of the Holding Company. In the instant case, the approval of the members of the Holding Company was obtained only for creating security on the assets and the information regarding the exercise of option granted to Saraf Group was not informed to the members.

iii. Though the members of the Holding Company approved creation of a charge / security on Hyatt Regency, Mumbai, the Holding Company is yet to file the necessary forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and therefore is not in compliance with the requirements of the Act.

iv. If the intention is to sell Hyatt Regency, Mumbai in return of the fund infusion by Saraf Group, these financial statements should have been prepared considering the requirement of Ind AS 105 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Also refer our reporting on Going Concern assumption in paragraph 3 below.

b. The Holding Company has not recognized interest expense of Rs. 7,845.07 lakhs and certain expenses of Rs. 1,598.39 lakhs towards reimbursement, as claimed by Saraf Group. In the absence of agreed terms and conditions in respect of the amounts received, we are unable to comment on the amount of interest that should have been accrued by the Holding Company in these Consolidated financial statements. Notwithstanding the above, if the amounts received are in the nature of borrowings as considered by the Holding Company, as per section 186(7) of the Companies Act, 2013, such borrowings shall have a minimum interest rate that is not lower than the prevailing yield of one year, three year, five year or ten year government security closest to the tenor of the loan. However, even considering the minimum rate of interest as stipulated in Section 186(7) of the Act, such interest amount that has not been recognised in these consolidated financial statements is expected to be material and will represent a substantial proportion of the consolidated financial statements.

c. Further, there is an unreconciled balance of Rs. 242.64 lakhs in the amounts stated as borrowings in note 22 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, the recorded balance in the consolidated financial statements being lower.

  1. The Holding Company has prepared these consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis considering the approved the settlement proposal under Section 12A of IBC 2016 and the steps being taken by the Holding Company to meet its regulatory requirements and reporting obligations. However, the Group's current liabilities exceeds the current assets by Rs. 38,896.24 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. Considering the above and in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the Holding Company's ability to meet its obligations, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's

ability to continue as a going concern and the consolidated financial statements have not been prepared on any other basis of accounting acceptable in the circumstances and also do not adequately disclose this matter.

  1. The Holding Company has neither provided us with proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of property, plant and equipment nor has provided us with the information regarding the physical verification of property, plant and equipment. Therefore, we are unable to comment on the existence of the property, plant and equipment balance of Rs. 1,491.64 lakhs as stated in note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

  2. Outstanding recoverable/payables balances with the Government Authorities are subject to reconciliation with the statutory records and consequential adjustment, if any. Further, in the absence of complete period details of "statutory dues payable" as referred in note 50 to the consolidated financial statements, we are unable to comment on the adequacy of interest expense on statutory dues recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss for the year ended March 31, 2026.

Had the impact of observations mentioned in para 1(b) being considered, the total expenses for year ended March 31, 2026 would have been higher by Rs. 9,443.46 lakhs, resulting in decrease in net profit before tax by Rs. 9,443.46 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2026. The loss before tax would have been Rs. 988.60 lakhs as against the reported profit of Rs. 8,454.86 lakhs. The total comprehensive loss would have been Rs. 2,986.09 as against the reported total comprehensive profit of Rs. 6,457.36 lakhs. and the loss per share would have been Rs. 25.28 per share as against the reported profit per share Rs. 55.77 per share.

We conducted our audit of Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained along with the consideration of reports of the other auditors referred to in "Other Matters" section below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our Adverse opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matters described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Disclosure and Classification of Amount received as per Framework Agreement
We refer to Note 48 to the consolidated financial statements.

a. The Holding Company has received an amount of Rs. 39,000 lakhs recorded as advance. However, in the absence of adequate supporting documentation and agreed terms and conditions, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to ascertain the nature of the amount received. Consequently, we are unable to comment on the appropriateness of the classification and presentation of this amount as borrowings and its disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

b. Further, the Holding Company has not recognized interest expense amounting to Rs. 7,845.07 lakhs and certain expense reimbursements amounting to Rs. 1,598.39 lakhs, as claimed by the entity which advanced the funds. Due to the absence of agreed terms for these advances, we are unable to determine the amount of interest and expenses that should have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Notwithstanding this, if the said advances are considered to be borrowings – as assumed by the Company – then, as per the provisions of Section 186(7) of the Companies Act, 2013, a minimum interest should be charged based on the prevailing yield of government securities corresponding to the tenor of the loan. Even by applying this statutory minimum rate, the unrecognized interest would be material and would have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, as disclosed in Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements, there is an unreconciled difference of Rs.242.64 lakhs between the Holding Company’s records and the balance reported, with the balance recorded in the consolidated financial statements being lower.

Due to the significance of the matters described above and their pervasive impact on the consolidated financial statements, this matter was considered to be of | In view of the significance of the matter, we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence.

  1. We have verified and reviewed bank statements in respect of receipt of Rs.39,000 Lakhs.
  2. We have obtained ledger accounts and balance confirmations from the party in respect of such amount. However, the balances in the books of the Holding Company are not tally with the confirmation received from the party. We have been informed by the Holding Company that these balances are under reconciliation with the party.
  3. Assessed the materiality of the unreconciled amounts in the context of the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
  4. Assessed compliance with the relevant disclosure requirements.

Since we have not been provided with the sufficient and appropriate information, the matters have also been highlighted in Basis for Adverse Opinion section of our report. |

Assessment of Going Concern
The Holding Company has prepared these consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis considering the approved the settlement proposal under Section 12A of IBC 2016 and the steps being taken by the Holding Company to meet its regulatory requirements and reporting obligations. However, the Group’s current liabilities exceed the current assets by Rs. 38,896.24 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. Considering the above and in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the Holding Company’s ability to meet its obligations, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and the consolidated financial statements have not been prepared on any other basis of accounting acceptable in the circumstances and also do not adequately disclose this matter.

We considered this matter to be of significance as it relates to the generally accepted fundamental accounting assumptions. | In view of the significance of the matter, we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence.
1. We have obtained and reviewed the approved resolution plan
2. We have evaluated the assessment of going concern considering the indicators of going concern as provided under SA 570 Going concern.
3. Reviewed minutes of board meetings and post-CIRP correspondence to identify developments related to operational continuity and financial restructuring.
4. We have requested the management of the Holding Company to provide any future business plans in support of going concern.

The Group’s current liabilities are more than the current assets as at March 31, 2026. In the absence of any convincing audit evidence to support the going concern assumptions, this matter has also been highlighted in Basis for Adverse Opinion section of our report. |
| Outstanding recoverable/payables balances with the Government Authorities are subject to reconciliation with the statutory records and interest liability thereon.
As described in Note 50 to the consolidated financial statements, the Holding Company has significant outstanding balances recoverable from and payable to various Government Authorities, which are subject to reconciliation with statutory records and consequential adjustments, if any.
In the absence of complete and detailed aging or period-wise breakup of “statutory dues payable,” we were unable to assess the accuracy and completeness of interest expense recognized on delayed payments of statutory dues in the consolidated statement of profit and loss for the year ended March 31, 2026. | In view of the significance of the matter, we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence.
1. We have asked from the management the period wise details and reconciliation of statutory dues payable and recoverable with the statutory records which the Holding Company has confirmed that these balances are under reconciliation.
2. We have been informed by the Holding Company that these balances are pending since long and period wise details cannot be provided at this stage and therefore interest expenses on these statutory dues cannot be determined and hence not provided for in the consolidated financial statements.
Therefore, this matter has also be highlighted in Basis for Adverse Opinion section of our report. |

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Given the materiality of these balances and the associated interest expense, as well as the judgment involved in determining the amounts payable and recoverable, and in view of the absence of sufficient supporting information and reconciliations, this matter was considered to be of significant importance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
As disclosed in note 27 to the consolidated financial statement, the Subsidiary Company is principally engaged in the business of owning and operating hotel property and its revenue comprises hotel revenue (including room revenue, food and beverages revenue) and rental income from commercial space leasing and revenue from other related services.

The Subsidiary Company recognises the revenue from customers in accordance with Ind AS 115, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ('Ind AS 115') when the performance obligation is satisfied i.e. when (or as) the customer obtains control of goods or services. The revenue towards a performance obligation is measured based on the transaction price net of rebates, goods and services tax etc.

Revenue is a key performance indicator of the Subsidiary Company and there is risk of overstatement of revenue due to fraud resulting from pressure to achieve targets and earnings expectations, accordingly, in line with the requirements of the Standards on Auditing, revenue has been determined as an area involving significant risk and hence, requiring significant auditor attention.

Considering volume of the transactions, significance of the amount involved, and significant attention required by the other auditor as mentioned above, we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter for current year audit. | Based on the consideration of report of other auditor and in view of the significance of the matter, the other auditor applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence.
1. Evaluated the design and tested operating effectiveness of key controls with respect to the revenue recognition process;
2. Understood the process of revenue recognition and assessed the appropriateness of Subsidiary Company's revenue recognition accounting policies in accordance with Ind AS 115;
3. Tested the revenue transactions recorded during the year (including during a specific period before and after year end) on sample basis, by inspecting the underlying documents such as invoices, bank collections and other relevant documents, as applicable, to ensure revenue is recognized in the correct accounting period and with correct amounts;
4. Tested the details of unbilled revenue and its compliance with Ind AS 115;
5. Tested manual journal entries impacting revenue including credit notes, rebates etc., selected on specified risk-based criteria, to identify unusual or irregular items;
6. Performed analytical procedures on current year revenue including variance analysis to identify any unusual variances /relationships, if any; and
7. Ensured the adequacy and appropriateness of disclosures relating to the revenue recognition made in the Subsidiary Company financial statements, in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. |

Information other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of its report (herein after called as "Board Report") which comprises various information required under section 134(3) of the Companies Act, 2013 but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the Board Report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the Board Report and in doing so, consider whether the Board Report is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

The Board Report is not made available to us at the date of this auditor's report.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in term of requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the company included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group 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 accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements 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 Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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.

Those respective Board of Directors of the Companies included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to

issue an auditor's 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 decision of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and to 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 Holding Company has an adequate internal financial controls system 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 management and Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's 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 Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements 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 auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial Statements 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 or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, 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 Consolidated Financial Statements 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.

Annexure A to the Independent Auditor’s Report referred to in paragraph 3(g) under the heading “Report on other Legal and Regulatory requirements” of our report of even date on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Asian Hotels (West) Limited.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”).

In conjunction with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Asian Hotels (West) Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Holding Company”) and its Subsidiary (the Holding Company and its Subsidiary together referred to as” the Group), as at and for the year ended March 31, 2026, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements of Holding Company and its subsidiary company incorporated in India under the Act.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Holding Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements criteria established by the respective Companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Holding company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Holding Company’s internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statement included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditor of the relevant subsidiary company in terms of their report referred to in the Other Matters

paragraph below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our Adverse audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls system with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to the Consolidated Financial Statements

A company's internal financial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Adverse Opinion

Due to the effect of the matters stated in the Basis of Adverse Opinion section below, in our opinion, the Group did not maintain internal financial controls with reference to the consolidated financial statements during the year ended March 31, 2026.

Basis for Adverse Opinion

(a) The Holding Company did not have adequate controls over obtaining confirmation of balances from lenders, reconciling such balances and recording entries or taking other actions, as maybe deemed necessary to address such differences.

(b) The Holding Company's controls over assessing appropriateness of use of going concern assumption were not adequate since the assessment of the Holding Company in the use of such assumption did not consider the financial condition of the Holding Company as stated in the consolidated financial statements nor was supported by business plans.

(c) The Holding Company's internal controls did not address the assertion of existence of the Holding Company's Property Plant and Equipment and therefore its valuation as at March 31, 2026.

(d) The Holding Company's internal controls did not enable the determination and accrual of interest that may be due on delayed remittances of statutory dues.

We have considered the adverse opinion reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company, and the adverse opinion has affected our opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company and we have issued an adverse opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Other Matter

Our report under section 143(3) (i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial control over financial report in so far as it relates to the Subsidiary Company which is company incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such company incorporated in India.

Current 1,627.01 1,542.19

The lease liabilities are secured by the related underlying assets. The maturity analysis of lease liabilities are disclosed below.

Extension and termination options

The Group has considered option of extending the tenure by 30 years for the above land lease in lease period assessment since the Group can enforce its right to extend the lease beyond the initial lease period ending May 02, 2036 as the Group is likely to be benefited by exercising the such an extension option.

Lease payments not recognised as a liability

The annual increase in the Group's payments towards the above land lease agreement during the extended term are based on the movement in Consumer Price Index (Industrial workers) for the respective years of the extended term. Based on the principles of Ind AS 116, the Group has not estimated this future inflation but, instead, measures lease liabilities using lease payments that assume no inflation over the extended lease term. The impact of changes in the lease liabilities on account of such indexed lease payments will be made in the year of respective cashflow changes over the extended term beginning May 02, 2036.

Further, the Group has elected not to recognise a lease liability for lease on low value assets and short term leases (leases of expected term of 12 months or less). Payments made under such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis.

The expense relating to payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability is as follows:

Leases of low value assets - -

D Details about arrangements entered as a lessor

Finance Lease

The Group had entered into various sub licensing agreements for commercial space which are based on identical terms vis a vis its land lease arrangement with DIAL, therefore these sublicensing agreements are accounted for as finance leases on adoption of Ind AS 116 with respect to corresponding Right-of-use asset. The following table represents maturity analysis of future cashflows to be received from such agreements by the Group over the lease term ending on May 02, 2066:

Particulars March 31, 2026 March 31, 2025
(a) Not later than one year 254.41 183.46
(b) Later than one year and not later than five years 1,179.55 573.08

Operating lease

The Group had entered into various sub licensing agreements other than the agreement mentioned above for commercial space for a specified period of time which is considerably shorter than the corresponding land lease arrangement with DIAL, therefore these sublicensing agreements are accounted for as operating leases as per Ind AS 116 with respect to corresponding Right-of-use asset. Further, the Group has leased out its roof top space to telecom operators for setting up of tower. The following table represents maturity analysis of future cashflows to be received from such agreements by the Group over the respective lease terms:

The Company had challenged the said demand by filing a Writ Petition before the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi inter-alia on ground of jurisdiction of SDMC to levy property tax besides being erroneous and untenable. The Hon'ble High Court of Delhi, vide interim order dated 23 March 2016 ('interim order') had directed the Company to pay the property tax by using the User factor (UF) of 4 and the property tax rate @ 10% of the annual value till the next date of hearing.

In the meanwhile, during the pendency of the aforesaid Writ Petition, the Company received another Demand Notice from SDMC demanding payment of outstanding property tax along with interest and penalties, claiming different rate of tax for Hotel Block and Commercial Block, by levying property tax @ 20% and UF of 10 and UF of 4, as per table mentioned in the said demand notice.

Simultaneously, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) had introduced an Amnesty scheme valid till 31 December 2025 that was extended till 30 April 2026, wherein the Company had the option to avail waiver of past dues (without levy of any interest etc.) by paying property tax, calculated using UF 10 and 20% property tax rate, for past five years and current year 2025-26, subject to fulfilment of certain conditions. The management, in view of an appeal filed before the higher bench of Hon'ble High Court of Delhi, in line with position adopted by Federation of Hotels and Restaurants Association of India ('FHRAI') and other hotels in Aerocity area, decided not to avail the Amnesty scheme and consequently, has estimated its additional liability (excluding interest) to be Rs. 2,075.00 lakhs. The next date of hearing is scheduled on 14 September 2026.

40 Financial Instruments

A Financial assets and liabilities

The accounting classification of each category of financial instruments, and their carrying amounts, are set out below:

Particulars As at March 31, 2026 As at March 31, 2025
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss:
Investments 7.30 7.35
Financial assets measured at amortised cost:
Other financial assets 4,320.10 3,773.06
Trade receivables 1,751.40 1,525.78
Cash and cash equivalents 10,271.25 4,536.95

Other financial liabilities 4,792.24 4,783.51
Trade payables 2,898.40 2,627.97
Total 91,615.46 98,935.24

B Fair values hierarchy

The fair value of financial instruments as referred to in note (A) above has been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities [Level 1 measurements] and lowest priority to unobservable inputs [Level 3 measurements].

The categories used are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market;

Level 2: Directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and

Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a net asset value or valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

Trade payables - 2,627.97 - 2,627.97

The management assessed that fair values of current loans, current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade receivables, other receivables, short term borrowings, trade payables and other current financial liabilities approximate their respective carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

(i) long-term loans and advances and non-current financial liabilities are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates, individual creditworthiness of the customer and other market risk factor.

(ii) The fair values of the Group's fixed interest-bearing liabilities, loans and receivables are determined by applying discounted cash flows ('DCF') method, using discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at March 31, 2024 was assessed to be insignificant.

(iii) All the other long term borrowing facilities availed by the Group are variable rate facilities which are subject to changes in underlying interest rate indices. Further, the credit spread on these facilities are subject to change with changes in Group's creditworthiness. The management believes that the current rate of interest on these loans are in close approximation from market rates applicable to the Group. Therefore, the management estimates that the fair value of these borrowings are approximate to their respective carrying values.

41 Capital management

For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, preference share capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the shareholders of the Group. The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Group's policy is to keep the gearing ratio between 43% and 48%. The Group includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables and cash and cash equivalents.

Particulars As at March 31, 2026 As at March 31, 2025
Total outstanding liability 99,060.68 1,04,631.25
Less: Cash and Cash equivalents 10,271.25 4,536.95
Net outstanding liability (A) 88,789.43 1,00,094.30
Equity share capital 1,165.12 1,165.12
Other equity (2,508.58) (8,965.95)
Equity other equity (1,343.46) (7,800.83)
Gearing ratio (A)/(A+B) (%) 101.54% 108.45%

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025
