We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of GODAWARI POWER & ISPAT LIMITED
(the "Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at
March 31,2026, 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
ended on that date and a summary of material 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 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, 2026 and its profit, total
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 ("SA"s) 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 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
that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our
report.
Information Other than the Standalone
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 and Shareholder's 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 Responsibilities 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, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company
in accordance with the Ind AS 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 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 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
scepticism 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
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
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 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 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 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.
