Other Comprehensive I ncome), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then

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,
2025 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
financial statements of the current period. There are no such matters identified during the audit period.
Information Other than the 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 and Sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information,
but does not include the consolidated financial statements, 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.
Responsibilities of the Management and those charged with Governance for the Standalone Ind AS
Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies
Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs (financial position), profit & loss (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 Rule 4 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.
This responsibility also includes the maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provision of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting the 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 internal financial
control, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Ind AS 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 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 is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Standalone Ind AS financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which
are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone
Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to
obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Ind AS financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal financial control relevant to the Company's preparation of the Standalone Ind AS financial
statements that give true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in place an
adequate internal financial control system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such
controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by Company's Directors, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion on the Standalone Ind AS financial statements.
