City Gas Distribution (CGD) is one of the fastest growing end-user segments of natural gas and is becoming an integral part of the economic development of India. Government is focused to promote the usage of natural gas as a fuel/feedstock across the country to increase the share of natural gas to 15% by 2020 from the current level of 6% and make India a gas based economy. To enhance the share of gas in the energy basket to 15%, the Government has envisaged developing additional 15,000 km of gas pipeline network. Government is taking necessary policy and regulatory steps to attract investment in enhancing domestic gas production, gas infrastructure including pipelines, City Gas Distribution (CGD) networks and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import terminals. The Government is exploring means for establishing a gas market where natural gas can be traded freely and supplied. It is expected that free gas market will attract new investment in Exploration & Production (E&P) activities so as to increase gas availability and accessibility to all at market price. Further Govt. has envisaged to expand the coverage of CGD networks across the country in synchronization with the gas availability and pipeline connectivity.
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India has emphasized on increasing the reach and accessibility of PNG connections to maximum number of households and also thrust on use of CNG being “cleaner and green fuel”. This augurs well with our growth plans.
Despite all above positives, natural gas industry including CGD sector faced very tough time due to non-inclusion of Natural gas in the ambit of Goods and Service Tax (GST). Since our competitive fuels are included in GST, they are attaining advantage due to availability of Input Credit while approaching the customers. This seriously hampered our effort of adding additional customers and also the profitability to certain extent.
Despite of all odds, your company continued to put its best performance and recorded a growth in almost all the segments of its operations in the financial year 2017-18.

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.
Auditors’ ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial

Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting and the Standards on Auditing, issued
by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent
applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial
Controls and, 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 over financial
reporting 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 over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our
audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting 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 judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the 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 audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial ReportingA company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company's internal financial control over financial reporting 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 authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including
the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements
due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal
financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal
financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
OpinionIn our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were
operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting
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.
