1. We have audited the accompanying standalone
financial statements of DCM Nouvelle Limited ('the
Company'), which comprise the Standalone Balance
Sheet as at 31 March 2025, the Standalone Statement
of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
Income), the Standalone Statement of Cash Flow and
the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity for the
year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including material accounting policy
information and other explanatory information.

2. 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 ('Ind
AS') specified under section 133 of the Act read with
the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015 and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company
as at 31 March 2025, and its profit (including other
comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes
in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing 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 ('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 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 opinion.

Key Audit Matters

4. 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.

Information other than the Standalone Financial

Statements and Auditor's Report thereon

6. The Company's 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 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 in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that
there is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matter to those charged with
governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged

with Governance for the Standalone Financial

Statements

7. The accompanying standalone financial statements
have been approved by the Company's Board of
Directors. The Company's Board of Directors are
responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of
the Act with respect to the preparation and
presentation of these standalone financial 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 specified under
section 133 of the Act and other 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.

8. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the
Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intends
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.

9. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing
the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the

Standalone Financial Statements

10. 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 Standards on Auditing
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.

11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on
Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act
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 Board of
Directors' 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; and

• 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

remuneration to its directors during the year in

opinion; and

h) With respect to the other matters to be included in
