| We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Ashapura Minechem Limited ("the Company") which comprise the balancesheet as at 31st March 2025, the statement of profit and loss including other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the
 statement of cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and
 other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the standalone financial statements").
 In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements givethe information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian
 Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ('Ind
 AS") and the other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2025, of its profit including
 other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
 Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10)of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone 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 ("the ICAI") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the
 provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
 and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on
 the standalone financial statements.
 Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statementsof the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in our forming
 our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit
 matters to be communicated in our report:
 
| Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter |  
| Revenue Recognition |  |  
| Revenue is one of the key profit drivers and is, therefore, susceptible tomisstatement. Cut-off is the key assertion in so far as revenue recognition
 is concerned, since inappropriate cut-off can result in material
 misstatement of results for the year.
 | We carried out testing controls around dispatches and deliveries,inventory reconciliation and substantive testing for cut-offs and analytical
 review procedures.
 |  
| Assessment of litigations and related disclosure of contingentliabilities
 |  |  
| The Company is subject to large number of various ongoing legal and taxrelated claims as stated under note no. 36 - Contingent Liabilities.
 Significant judgment is required to assess such matters to determinethe probability of occurrence of material outflow of economic resources
 and whether a provision should be recognized or a disclosure should be
 made. The management judgment is also supported with legal advice in
 certain cases as considered appropriate.
 | We understood, assessed and tested the operating effectiveness of keycontrols surrounding assessment of litigations and discussed with the
 management the recent developments and the status of the material
 litigations;
 We evaluated management's assessment by understanding precedentsset in similar cases and assessed the reliability of the management's past
 estimates and judgments;
 |  
| As the ultimate outcomes of the matters are uncertain and material innature, it is considered to be a Key Audit Matter.
 | We reviewed the disclosures made by the Company in the financialstatements in this regard and obtained representation letter from the
 management on the assessment of these matters.
 |  
| Assessment of recoverability relating to Deferred Tax Assets ("the DTA") The DTA balance as on 31st March, 2025 is Rs. 2,818.85 lacs primarily relates tocarry forward losses.
 The Company exercises significant judgment in assessing the recoverability of theDTA relating to carry forward losses. In estimating the recoverability of the DTA on
 carry forward losses, the management uses inputs such as internal business and
 tax projections. Recoverability of the DTA on carry forward losses is considered a
 key audit matter as it is sensitive to the assumptions used by the management in
 projecting the future taxable income, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities.
 | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operatingeffectiveness of controls over the Company's process for determining the
 recoverability of the DTA relating to carry forward losses which included amongst
 others controls over the assumptions and judgments used in the projections of
 future taxable income and related tax projections. To assess the Company's
 ability to estimate future taxable income, we examined tax planning strategies
 and interpretation of tax laws used by the Company in the tax projections used for
 supporting the recoverability of DTA.
 |  Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Management Discussion and Analysis, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate
 Governance Report, Shareholder's Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and auditor's report thereon. The Board's
 Report and other information are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.
 Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusionthereon.
 In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomesavailable and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge
 obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
 When we read the aforesaid reports and information, if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate thematter to those charged with governance.
 Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in
 equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also
 includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company
 and for preventing and detecting 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 controls, that were operating
 effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone
 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 In preparing the standalone 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.
 The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process. Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a 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 high level of assurance, but is not a
 guarantee that 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 standalone 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 misstatements of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design andperform 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 the internal control.
 •    Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, 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 bymanagement.
 •    Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to
 continue as going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to therelated disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
 based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company
 to cease to continue as a going concern.
 • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosure, and whether thestandalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
 We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant auditfindings, 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.
 From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit ofthe financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law
 or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
 communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
 such communication.
