 Basis for OpinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing(SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities
 under those SAs 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 audit opinion
 on the standalone financial statements.
 Key Audit MattersKey audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment,were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial
 Statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025. 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:
 
| Sl. No. | Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |  
| 1 | Revenue Recognition and Measurement | Our audit procedures included: |  
|  | Refer Note 2(C)(b) to accounting policies and Note 25 to theStandalone Financial Statements.
 | • Assessing the Company's revenue recognition accountingpolicies for compliance with Ind AS.
 |  
|  | Revenue is recognised when the Company satisfies theperformance obligation by transferring the promised goods
 or service to a customer. The performance obligations are
 fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal
 customer acceptance depending on terms of contract with
 customers.
 We consider there to be a risk of misstatement in the | • Testing the controls around the timely and accurate recordingof sales transaction. We also tested the Company's lead
 time assessment and quantification of any sales reversals
 for undelivered goods. In addition, we tested the terms and
 conditions set out in the sales contracts and management's
 estimate of transit time required to deliver the goods.

| Sl. No. | Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |  
| 2 | Inventory Valuation The Company is having inventory of B388.94 million as on31st March, 2025. Inventories are to be valued as per Ind
 AS 2. As described in the accounting policies in note 2(C)
 (h) to the Standalone Financial Statements, finished goods
 are valued at lower of the cost and net realisable value.
 Materials and other supplies are not written down below
 cost if the finished product in which it will be incorporated
 are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost of inventories
 is ascertained on 'FIFO' basis.
 Zinc metal and zinc based products form a significant partof the Company's inventory for which the Company enters
 into commodity contracts. The Company takes a structured
 approach to the identification, quantification and hedging
 of risk of fluctuations in prices of zinc metal by using
 derivatives in commodities.
 We focused on this area because of its size, the assumptionsused in the valuation and the complexity, which are relevant
 when determining the amounts recorded.
 | Our audit procedures included: •    Testing the design, implementation and operating effectivenessof key internal financial controls, including controls over valuation
 of inventory, and accounting of derivative transactions.
 •    On a sample basis, testing the accuracy of cost for inventoryby verifying the actual purchase cost. Testing the net realisable
 value by comparing actual cost with most recent sale price.
 •    Reviewing the documents and other records related to physicalverification of inventories done by the management during the
 year.
 •    Verifying that inventories are valued in accordance with Ind AS 2. •    Assessing and testing adequacy and completeness of theCompany's disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements.

The Company's Management and the Board of Directors areresponsible for the other information. The other information
 comprises the information included in the Company's annual report
 but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our
 auditor's report thereon. The Company's 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 coverthe 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.
 If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there isa 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 Gov¬ernance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The accompanying Standalone Financial Statements have beenapproved by the Company's Board of Directors. 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 State of affairs, Profit
 including Other Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and Cash
 Flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting
 Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read
 with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as
 amended. 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.
 In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, managementis 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
 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 is also responsible for overseeing theCompany's financial reporting process.
 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Finan¬cial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe 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 alwaysdetect 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 Standards on Auditing, weexercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
 throughout the audit. We also:
 •    Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of theStandalone 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 relevantto 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 usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
 disclosures made by management.
 •    Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of thegoing 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 theStandalone 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 StandaloneFinancial 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) planningthe 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 statementthat 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 theadverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
 outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
