Auditors of GVK expressed serious concerns over the group's ability to continue as a 'going concern' owing to huge

pile of debts. Further material uncertainties are being faced by various

projects executed by the group, its associates and joint ventures and for which it has provided guarantees/commitments

and/or has undertaken to provide financial assistance. These conditions, along with other matters, indicate that

a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the groups ability to continue as a going concern," GVKs

auditors Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP said in their comments.

The group has incurred losses of about Rs 388 crore for the nine months of the current fiscal and has defaulted in

repayment of loans and interest payments, they said.
