Auditor's Report (GMR Infrastructure) Year End : Mar '11
1.  We have audited the attached balance sheet of GMR Infrastructure
 Limited (''the Company'') as at March 31, 2011 and also the profit and
 loss account and the cash flow statement for the year ended on that
 date annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility
 of the Company''s management. Our responsibility is to express an
 opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
 2.  We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
 generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and
 perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
 and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
 assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
 by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
 presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
 our opinion.
 
 3.  As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 (as
 amended) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of
 sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose
 in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4
 and 5 of the said Order.
 
 4.  Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 3 of
 Schedule18 (III) in the accompanying financial statements for the year
 ended March 31, 2011 in connection with an investment of Rs.
 2,763,078,800 (including loans of Rs. 597,194,800 and investment in
 equity / preference shares of Rs. 1,926,557,130 being made by
 subsidiaries of the Company) in GMR Ambala Chandigarh Expressways
 Private Limited (GACEPL). Though GACEPL has been incurring losses since
 the commencement of commercial operations, based on management''s
 internal assessment and legal opinion obtained by the management of
 GACEPL, such investment has been carried at cost.
 
 5.  Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we
 report that:
 
 i.  We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the

 Directors, we report that none of the directors is disqualified as on
 March 31, 2011 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause
