| Notes: 7. Loss from discontinued operations pertains to Maharashtra Transmission Communication Infrastructure Limited, a subsidiary of the Company. Management had filed a fresh application with Department of Telecommunication for transfer of the entity after its earlier application had been rejected. The Department of Telecommunication has currently closed the application citing lack of clarity with respect to certain aspects in the application. Management is working towards resolving the concerns and is committed to the sale of MTCIL post resolving the concerns and obtaining requisite regulatory approvals. 4. Management has made an assessment of the impact of COVID 19 in preparation for these financial statements. Management has considered all relevant external and internal factors in the measurement of assets and liabilities including recoverability of carrying values of its assets, its liquidity position and ability to repay debts. No adjustment to key estimates and judgements that impact the financial statements have been identified. Since telecom networks have been identified as an essential service, the Group is operating at its normal operating capacity at all locations. However, the impact assessment of COVID19 will be a continuing process given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration and no significant impact is envisaged on the operations. Further due to the ongoing lockdown restrictions, independent confirmations of balances of 5 bank accounts having a cumulative book balance of Rs. 0.07 crores and balance with LIC of Rs. 5.08 crores with respect to the Company's funded Gratuity plan assets could not be obtained as at March 31, 2021 from the respective parties. Management has prepared the financials based on the latest available statements available with Management, which fairly represent the respective balances. For balance with LIC, the statement available is for balance as at December 31, 2020 and for the 5 bank balances, the statements are for balances as at March 31, 2021. The Auditors have relied on these statements and performed alternative testing procedures as considered appropriate. Goodwill (excess of purchase consideration over the aggregate book value of the net assets acquired) is being amortised over a period of five years, as per the Scheme. Ind-AS does not allow amortisation of goodwill, which amounted to Rs. Nil and Rs. 14.65 crores for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021, respectively. Goodwill has been fully amortised as at the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Consequently, the auditors have included an emphasis of matter paragraph in regards to this matter in their report. 1.The above results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors at its meeting held on April 29, 2021 have approved the above results. 2.The above statement has been prepared in accordance with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (Ind-AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other recognised accounting practices and policies to the extent applicable. 3. The Company has only one operating segment which is Connectivity and Network Solutions (earlier known as "Telecom Products and Solutions"). Accordingly, separate segment information is not required to be disclosed. 6. During the year 2015-16, the Company had acquired 100% of the paid up equity share capital of Elitecore Technologies Private Limited ('ETPL'), a global telecom software product company. ETPL has been merged with the Company with the appointed date of September 29, 2015 under a scheme of amalgamation approved by Hon'ble Bombay High Court and Gujarat High Court (the "Scheme"). 5. During the previous year ended March 31, 2020, the Company made an application under Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) Scheme, 2019 (SVLDRS), for settlement of the disputed excise matter of Rs. 188 crores demanded by CESTAT in 2005-06 which the Company was contesting at Honourable Supreme Court, and also some other litigations under Central Excise Act, 1944 and Chapter V of Finance Act, 1994 which were pending as of June 30, 2019. Based on the provisions of SVLDRS, Management determined and paid duty in respect of all matters offered for settlement under the scheme and accordingly recognised expense of Rs. 50.71 crores in the previous year which has been disclosed as exceptional item in the Statement of profit and loss. 8. Formulae for computation of ratios are based on standalone financial results and balance sheet which are as follows: Debt Service Coverage Ratio = Earnings before interest and tax/ (interest expense + principal term loan repayment) Interest Service Coverage Ratio = Earnings before Interest and Tax /Interest Expense For Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Interest Service Coverage Ratio computation: - Earnings before interest and tax includes Profit Before Tax after exceptional item + Interest expense - Interest expenses include finance costs as per standalone Ind AS financial statements For paid up debt capital and debt equity ratio computation: - Debt includes long-term borrowings + short term borrowings + current maturities of long-term borrowings. - Equity includes equity share capital and other equity as per standalone Ind AS financial statements 9. Credit rating for the existing Non- Convertible Redeemable Debentures (NCD) is ICRA AA Stable and CRISIL AA Stable. Credit rating for the outstanding commercial papers ICRA A1+ and CRISIL A1+. 10. The Company has maintained minimum required assets cover ratio of 1.1 times as per debenture issue terms of non convertible debenture carrying interest @ 8.70% p.a. and non covertible debentures carrying interest @ 7.30% p.a. and assets cover ratio of 1.25 times of non covertible debentures carrying interest @ 8.25% which signifies adequate security. Debentures are secured by way of first pari passu charge on entire movable fixed assets (both present and future) and mortgage of certain immovable fixed assets of the Company. 11. The Company has paid the interest on NCD on due dates. Details of previous and next due date of payment of interest and principal of NCD is as follow:- S.No. Security Description ISIN Principal Interest Principal Interest 1 8.70% NCDs INE089C07091 N.A. 30-Mar-21 27-Apr-21 27-Apr-21 2 8.25% NCDs INE089C07109 N.A.

- During the current year, Management has aligned the reporting period of Metallurgica Bresciana S.p.A.

Due to the reporting period alignment, the revenue and profit after tax is higher by Rs. 138.75 Crs and Rs. 9.68 Crs respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2021.

Basis for Opinion
- We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act and other applicable authoritative pronouncements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results’ section of our report. We are independent of the Group, its associates and jointly controlled entity in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and other auditor in terms of their reports referred to in “Other Matter” paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
- We draw your attention to Note 6 to Statement which describes that the Group had recognised Goodwill on amalgamation during the financial year ended March 31, 2016, which has been amortised over a period of five years from the appointed date of September 29 2015, in accordance with the accounting treatment prescribed under the Scheme of amalgamation approved by the Gujarat High Court.

The Holding Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group including its associates and jointly controlled entity and the consolidated Balance Sheet and the consolidated statement of cash flows in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 of the Listing Regulations. The
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Directors of Sterlite Technologies Limited Report on the Consolidated Financial Results Page 3 of 5
-
respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and jointly controlled entity are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entity 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 results by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
-
In preparing the consolidated financial results, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group, and of its associates and jointly controlled entity, are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entity 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 and its associates and jointly controlled entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
-
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and jointly controlled entity are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its associates and jointly controlled entity.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results
-
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial results 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 decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial results.
-
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 results, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls. (Refer paragraph 16 below)
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Directors of Sterlite Technologies Limited Report on the Consolidated Financial Results Page 4 of 5
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entity to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial results or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial results of the entities within the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entity to express an opinion on the consolidated Financial Results. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the consolidated financial results of which we are the independent auditors’.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
-
We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, as amended, to the extent applicable.
Other Matters
