Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the

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 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 matter described below to be the key audit matter to be
communicated in our report.

Descriptions of Key Audit Matter
|
How we addressed the matter in our audit
|
|
Revenue Recognition:
(Refer to Note 17 to the standalone financial statements)
There exists a risk that Revenue is recognised during the cut
off period though the control of the goods may not have been
passed on to the customer. The Company also generates
it's revenue from engineering contracts, which include
both contrancts related to micro irrigation systems and PE
and PVC Pipes. These contracts are accounted under the
percentage of completion method (POCM). The application
of revenue recognition accounting standards Ind AS 115 is
complex and involves a number of judgments and estimates.
Further revenue is accounted for under the POCM which also
requires significant judgments and estimates in particular
with respect to estimation of the cost to complete. Due to
the estimates, judgment and complexity involved in the
application of the revenue recognition accounting standards,
we have considered this matter as a key audit matter.
|
Our audit procedures included:
As part of our audit, we understood the Company's policies
and processes, control mechanisms and methods in
relation to the revenue recognition and evaluated the
design and operative effectiveness of the financial controls
from the above through our test of control procedures.
• Tested a sample of sales transactions for compliance
with the Company's accounting principles to assess
the completeness, occurrence and accuracy of revenue
recorded. Also, revenue is recognised when the
Company satisfies a performance obligation.
• Performing procedures to ensure that the revenue
recognition criteria adopted by Company for all major
revenue streams is appropriate and in line with the
Company's accounting policies.
• We have focused on Management's judgment in
applying the methodology and the estimates made to
determine the amount of revenue to be recorded in their
project calculations..
• We have evaluated the management's process to
recognize revenue over a period of time, total cost
estimates, total cost incurred allocation of cost to
projects, cost to completion, and status of the projects.

• We have examined contracts with exceptions including
contracts with low or negative margins, loss making
contracts, etc. to determine the level of provisioning.
• Our tests of detail focused on transactions occurring
within proximity of the year end and obtaining evidence
to support the appropriate timing of revenue recognition,
based on terms and conditions set out in sales contracts
and delivery documents or system generated reports.
We considered the appropriateness and accuracy of
any cut-off adjustments.
• We have tested the company's system generated reports,
based on which revenue is accrued at the year end, and
performed tests of details on the accrued revenue and
accounts receivable balances recognized in the balance
sheet at the year end.
• Traced disclosure information to accounting records
and other supporting documentation.
|
|
Valuation of inventories:
(Refer to Note 12(a) to the standalone financial statements)
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable
value. As a result, the management applies judgment in
determining the appropriate provisions where net realizable
value is below cost based upon future plans for sale of
inventory.
|
Our audit procedures included:
We have obtained assurance over the appropriateness of
the management's assumptions applied in valuation of
inventories and related provisions by:
• Performing walkthrough of the inventory valuation
process and assessed the design and implementation
of the key controls addressing the risk.
• Verifying the effectiveness of key inventory controls
operating over inventories; including sample based
physical verification. Reviewing the physical verification

inventories to check for completeness of the associated
provision.
• Reviewing the historical accuracy of inventory
provisioning and the level of inventory write-offs during
the year.
• Traced disclosure information to accounting records
and other supporting documentation.

|
Valuation and existence of Trade Receivables:
(Refer to Note 8(b) to the standalone financial statements).
As at March 31, 2025, trade receivables constitutes
approximately 22% of total assets of the Company. Trade
receivables are mainly comprised of receivables from central
and state government owned enterprises.
The majority of trade receivables originate from Government
Projects and subsidiaries, which are not exposed to high risk.
The Company is making specific provisions based on case-
to-case reviews and approved by Management. Whereas, for
other customers, provision is determined using the expected
credit loss model.
The provision matrix is based on its historically observed
default rates over the expected life of trade receivables and is
adjusted for forward looking estimates.
|
Our audit procedures included:
• Evaluated the Company's accounting policies pertaining
to impairment of financial assets and assessed
compliance with those policies in terms of Ind AS 109
- Financial Instruments.
• Assessed and tested the design and operating
effectiveness of the Company's internal financial
controls over provision for expected credit loss.
• Evaluated management's assumption and judgment
relating to various parameters which included the
historical default rates and business environment in
which the entity operates for estimating the amount of
such provision.
• Evaluated management's assessment of recoverability
of the outstanding receivables and recoverability of
the overdue / aged receivables through inquiry with
management, and analysis of collection trends in
respect of receivables.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are 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 and Sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information,
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 will 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 and take appropriate action as applicable under the relevant
laws and regulations..
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial
Statements
The Company's Management and 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, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in
accordance with the accounting principles generally 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 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
the 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. Those charged with governance 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 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 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 system in place with reference to standalone financial statements
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 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.
