Opinion
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 Act in the
manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the State of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, and
profit, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date 31 March, 2025.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Fi nancial 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 financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013
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
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance
in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. NIL
Emphasis of Matter
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report
including Annexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance
Report, and Shareholder Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements
and our auditor's report thereon.
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 during the
course of our 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.
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
Companies Act, 2013 ("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, (changes
in equity) and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the accounting Standards 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 of the assets of the Company and for preventing and
detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate implementation
and maintenance of 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 statement that
give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 Board of
Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit.
A further description of the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the standalone Financial
statements is included in “Annexure A”. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
