Annual Report 2021-22
Dear Shareholders,
On this day of 5th Annual General Meeting of Goa Natural Gas Private Limited, I extend you all a
very warm welcome. I take this opportunity to share with the performance review of the company
for the Financial Year 2021-22. By focusing on its distinctive areas of strength and synergising the
resources, your company was able to respond quickly to the challenges and opportunities and
take the company to new heights.
Globally, there is an increasing thrust of developing cleaner energy and obviously the `spotlight is
on usage of Natural Gas. With Natural Gas being the preferred fuel of the future, the City Gas
Distribution sector is poised for an exponential growth. The Government of India had launched
#Gas4India campaign, where it focuses to aspires to increase the share of natural gas in the
country's primary energy basket from current level of 6.5% to 15% by 2030. Presently, there are
303 Geographical Areas authorized by PNGRB in 27 States and UTs covering approximately 70%
of the Country’s geographical area and 80% of its population. In the last two CGD bidding rounds,
i.e., 11th and 11A, 65 plus 4 Geographical Areas were authorized for development of CGD Network.
We have also been witnessed to the declaration of the CGD sector as a public utility sector by the
Government of India, thereby emphasizing its value and need. In line with the vision and mission
of the Government to create a gas-based economy, your Company is developing a CGD network
in North Goa and Ponda GA. This network will provide uninterrupted gas supply to Industrial,
Commercial, Transport and Household in various talukas in North Goa and Ponda.
It is my pleasure to share that your company is preparing itself to contribute significantly towards
the CGD development in the country.
In the financial year that went by the Company has performed better than the previous year and
was able to complete its MWP Target of 9588 PNG Domestic Connections and 650 Inch Km of
Pipeline (MDPE & Steel) on 3rd November, 2021. Further, on the physical front, registered sales of
8.34 MMSCM recorded during the year 2021-22 as against 0.32 MMSCM in the previous year. On
the financial front the Company has achieved the total turnover of Rs. 36 Crores as against Rs. 4
Crores in the previous year and this is the first time since its inception that the Company has
achieved the profitable figure of Rs. 20.06 Lakhs. Further, you would be glad to know that your
Company has added around 3901 DPNG Connections, 10 Commercial, 6 Industrial and 1 CNG
Station in the FY 2021-22 and we are looking forward to commence operations from around Four
(4) more CNG stations in the up-coming year out of which two (2) CNG Stations are in advance
stage of commissioning. The Company has also laid total 43 Inch Km of Pipeline (Steel & MDPE)
during the FY 2021-22. With respect to industrial supply, your Company has successfully laid and
commissioned steel pipeline network in the industrial hub of Usgaon and has signed the GSA with

Annual Report 2021-22
The COVID-19 pandemic second wave has definitely impacted the progress of the industry in
general leading to delay in project execution worldwide and your Company is no exception.
However, we at GNGPL are confident of making the lost time. We are very positive for the long-
term growth projections for the CGD sector coupled with the robust future growth plans of the
Company and has hired the consultant which has experience of over 45 years at the forefront of
management, engineering and development consultancy in India to prepare the 15 years business
plan of the Company. We are set on the right direction with long-term goals in place. Therefore,
the short-term/ mid-term crisis may not be considered as a deterrent or a setback in the growth
plans of the Company.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and Team GNGPL, I would like to thank all the internal and
external stakeholders for their contribution in the growth story of the Company. I also extend

The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value
through other comprehensive income or fair value through statement of profit or loss on the basis
of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flows characteristics
of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in two broad categories:
26
Annual Report 2021-22
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost when asset is held within a business model, whose
objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows and contractual terms of the asset
give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Such
financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR)
method. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss. This
category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Where assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognized entirely in the
statement of profit and loss (i.e. fair value through profit or loss), or recognized in other
comprehensive income (i.e. fair value through other comprehensive income).
A financial asset that meets the following two conditions is measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income unless the asset is designated at fair value through profit or loss under the
fair value option:
• Business model test: The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is
achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets.
• Cash flow characteristics test: The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified
dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding.
All other financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss.
De-recognition
A financial asset is primarily derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have
expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement
and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets that are trade receivables or contract
revenue receivables and all lease receivables.
ii) Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. The Company's financial liabilities include
trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdraft. Subsequent measurement
of financial liabilities depends on their classification as fair value through Profit and loss (FVTPL) or
at amortized cost.
All changes in fair value of financial liabilities classified as FVTPL is recognized in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. Amortized cost category is applicable to loans and borrowings, trade and other
payables. After initial recognition the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the
EIR (Effective Interest Rate) method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit and loss when the
liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is
calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or cost that are
27
Annual Report 2021-22
integral part on EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance cost in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled
or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on
substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an
exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition
of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of
profit and loss.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit from continuing operations and total
profit, both attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the period.
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date
of financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on
management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these assumptions and
estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of
assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
In particular, the Company has identified the following areas where significant judgments, estimates
and assumptions are required. Further information on each of these areas and how they impact the
various accounting policies are described below and also in the relevant notes to the financial
statements. Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.
4.1 Judgments
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following
judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial
statements:
4.2 Contingencies
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the
Company, including legal, contractor, land access and other claims. By their nature, contingencies
will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment
28
Annual Report 2021-22
of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of
significant judgment and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its
assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to
market change or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are
reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot
be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation
techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets
where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair
values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial
instruments.
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and
expected loss rates. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the
inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company’s past history, existing market conditions
as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013
and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethicalresponsibilities in accordance

Responsibility of Management and those charged with governance for theFinancial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation and presentation of thesefinancial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also
includes the maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provision of the
Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company andfor preventing and detecting the 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 control,that were operating effectively for ensuring
the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting
process.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements asa
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 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 financial statements, 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
Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the
company has 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.
46
Annual Report 2021-22
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.

financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act,
2013 (the ‘Act’) as referred to in paragraph 3(f) to “report on other legal and regulatory
requirements”.
1. In conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of M/s Goa Natural Gas Private
Limited (the ‘Company’) as at and for the year ended 31st March 2022, we have audited the
internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Company as at that
date.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR
INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS
2. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal
financial controls 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 (‘Guidance Note’) issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). 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 the Company’s business,
including adherence to the 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 Act.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AUDIT OF THE INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS WITH
REFERENCE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with
reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the ICAI prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act,
to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial
statements, and the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI. 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 financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls
operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of
the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating
effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements
includes obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, 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
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. 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 with reference to
financial statements.
