of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement
and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then

including a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as
“the 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 give the 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 other
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the
state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its
profit including other comprehensive income, its 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), as 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 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 thereunder, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit 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 statements for the financial year
ended March 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the standalone financial statements
as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each
matter below, our description of how our audit addressed
the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone
financial statements section of our report, including in
relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included
the performance of procedures designed to respond to our
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
standalone financial statements. The results of our audit
procedures, including the procedures performed to address
the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on
the accompanying standalone financial statements.

Information Other than the Financial Statements
and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Annual report,
but does not include the standalone financial statements
and our auditor’s report thereon. The Annual Report is
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 conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the standalone
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based
on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is
a material misstatement of this other information; we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.

Responsibilities of Management for the
Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of
the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act
read with [the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015, as amended]. 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 the 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.

Those charged with governance are also responsible for
overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities 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 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 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 misstatement
of the standalone 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal
financial controls with reference to standalone financial
statements 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.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use
of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related
disclosures in the 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
disclosures, and whether the standalone financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
standalone financial statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of
a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial
statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative
materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope
of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work;
and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements
in the standalone financial statements.

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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the standalone financial
statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025
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.
