We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Insecticides (India) 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 then ended, and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of the 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 and 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 (SAs) 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 we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matter

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 audit matters to be communicated in our
report.

Information Other than the Standalone
Financial Statements and Auditor's Report
Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the
preparation of 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 and Sustainability
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 or 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those
Charged With Governance 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, total
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of
the Company in accordance with 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, 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.

The Board of Directors 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 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 an 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 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 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 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.
