AUDITOR'S REPORT

Year End :2026-03 

1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of KDDL Limited ('the Company'), which comprise
the Standalone Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2026, the
Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Cash
Flow and the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity for
the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including material accounting policy information
and other explanatory information.

2. 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 ('Ind AS') specified under
section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of
the Company as at 31st March 2026, and its profit (including
other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes
in equity for the year ended on that date.

BASIS FOR OPINION

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing 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 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 MATTER

4. 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.

5. We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Impairment assessment of investments, loans and other balances receivable from its subsidiaries

Refer note 2.2(b) for material accounting policy information
and note 5, 46(a) and 46(b) in notes forming part of standalone
financial statements in relation to investments, loans and other
balances receivable from its subsidiaries.

As at 31st March 2026, the Company has investments
in subsidiaries of Rs. 3,869.16 lacs, net of provision for
impairment of Rs. 1,957.48 lacs aggregates to Rs. 5,826.64
lacs. Such investments together constitutes 9.32% of the total
assets of the Company.

At each period end, the management reviews whether
any impairment indicators exist in the carrying amount of
investments, in accordance with the requirements of Ind
AS 36, "Impairment of Assets" ('Ind AS 36'), and Ind AS 109,
"Financial instruments" ('Ind AS 109'), as applicable.

As at 31st March 2026, the net carrying amount of investment
in 2 subsidiaries was higher than their net worth, which
has been identified as an impairment indicator by the
management.

Our audit procedures in relation to impairment assessment of the

carrying values of investments in and loans given to subsidiary included,

but were not limited to the following:

• Obtained an understanding of the management's process for
identification of impairment indicators for investments and
significant increase in credit risk of loans, and evaluated the
design and tested the operating effectiveness of key internal
financial controls relating to such process;

• Evaluated the Company's accounting policies with respect to
impairment assessment and assessed its compliance with the
requirements of Ind AS 36 and Ind AS 109;

• Obtained the management's assessment on impairment
indicators around the recoverability of investment in and loan
given to subsidiary and tested the mathematical accuracy of the
underlying calculations and traced such information to source
financial information relating to subsidiary companies;

• For cases where impairment indicators presents, obtained the
impairment assessment working from the management and
tested the arithmetical accuracy of valuation model and traced
the future cash flow projections used for determining recoverable;

• Assessed the professional competence, objectivity and capabilities
of the valuation expert used by the management for determining
recoverable amount;

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Accordingly, management has performed impairment test by
determining the recoverable amount of aforesaid balances
from such subsidiaries using the Discounted Cash Flow
('DCF') valuation model, which requires significant estimation
and judgement around assumptions used such as projections
of future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates applied
etc. Changes to these assumptions could lead to material
changes in estimated recoverable amounts, resulting in either
additional impairment or reversals of impairment taken in
prior years.

Considering the materiality and significance of the amount
involved and significant estimates and judgement involved
in assumptions used for the computation of the recoverable
amount, we have determined this matter to be a key audit
matter for the current year audit.

• Involved auditor's valuation expert to assess the appropriateness
of the valuation methodology and reasonableness of key
assumptions used by management's valuation experts to
determine recoverable amount;

• Evaluated and challenged the forecasted cash flows of subsidiaries
based on our knowledge of the business and the markets in which
they operate and assessed the comparability of the forecasts with
historical information;

• Performed sensitivity analysis of the key assumptions, including
the discount rate applied in determining the recoverable value
to evaluate the possible variation on the current recoverable
amount;

• Reviewed the regularity of repayment of principal and payments
of interest as per terms of the agreement relating to loans given
to the subsidiary company; and

• Evaluated the appropriateness and adequacy of disclosures
given in the standalone financial statements in accordance with
applicable accounting standards.


I NFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND AUDITOR'S REPORT THEREON

6. The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual Report, 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.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED
WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

7. The accompanying standalone financial statements have
been approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The
Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the

matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect
to the preparation and presentation 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 specified
under section 133 of the Act 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 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 financial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

8. 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.

9. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the
Company's financial reporting process.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THESTANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10. 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 Standards on Auditing 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.

11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing,
specified under section 143(10) of the Act 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 with reference to financial
statements 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 Board of Directors'
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; and
• 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS(OTHER MATTER PARAGRAPHS)

15. As required by section 197(16) of the Act, based on our audit,
we report that the Company has paid remuneration to its
directors during the year in accordance with the provisions
of and limits laid down under section 197 read with Schedule
V to the Act.

16. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2020

terms of section 143(11) of the Act we give in the Annexure
I a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4

c. Based on such audit procedures performed

our notice that has caused us to believe that
