However, total income for the year decreased to ₹20,110 lakh from ₹20,200 lakh.
The company's auditors issued a qualified opinion on the standalone financial results due to various issues, including inventory valuation discrepancies, reconciliation of input tax credit, lack of physical verification of property, plant, and equipment, and the absence of allowance for expected credit losses on a receivable from a subsidiary. The auditors also noted that the net worth of the HMT Group has been completely eroded, but the company is preparing its financial statements on a going concern basis.
