We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Oriental Hotels Limited ("the Company"), which
comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2026, and the
statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive
income), statement of changes in equity and statement of
cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of material accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter
referred to as "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
31 March 2026, its profit and other comprehensive income,
changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that
date.

Basis for Opinion

We 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
obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our 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
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 matter described below to be the key
audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial
Statements and Auditors' Report Thereon

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the preparation of the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in the
Company's annual report / Directors report / the management
report and business responsibility and sustainability report,
but does not include the financial statements and our auditors’
report thereon. The Company's annual report / Directors
report / the management report and business responsibility
and sustainability report are 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 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 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.

When we read the other information, 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 actions necessitated by the circumstances and
the applicable laws and regulations.

Responsibilities of the Management and Board of
Directors for Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are
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 and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and
cash flows 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. 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, Management
and Board of Directors are 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. Refer Note 46.

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

Auditors' 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 auditors' 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:

• I dentify 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 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 the
standalone 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 the Management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management and
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 auditors' 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 auditors' 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.

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 auditors' 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.
