Year End :2025-03 

We have audited the accompanying standalone

Chemfab Alkalis Limited

(the "Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet
as at 31 March 2025, and the Statement of Profit and
Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the
Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes
in Equity for the year ended on that date, and notes
to the financial statements, including a summary of
material accounting policies and other explanatory
information.

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, ("Ind AS")and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs
of the Company as at 31 March 2025, and its profit,

total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the
changes in equity 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 ("SA"s) specified under Section 143(10) of
the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards
are further described in the Auditor's Responsibility
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 ("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 obtained by us 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 of the current period. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key

THEREON

• The Company's Board of Directors is responsible
for the other information. The other information

Management Discussion and analysis, Board's
report including annexures to the Board's report
and Corporate Governance, but does not

standalone financial statements and our auditor's
report thereon. The Management Discussion and
analysis, Board's report including annexures to
the Board's report and Corporate Governance
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 will 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 identified above when it
becomes available 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 Management Discussion and
analysis, Board's report including annexures to the
Board's report and Corporate Governance, if we
conclude that there is a material misstatement
therein, we are required to communicate the
matter to those charged with governance as
required under SA 720 'The Auditor's responsibilities
Relating to Other Information'.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND
BOARD OF DIRECTORS 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 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 Ind AS specified under Section 133 of
the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance
of adequate accounting records in accordance with
the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 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 and Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors
either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Company's 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 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 financial
controls 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 the 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 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 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 financial controls 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 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.
