We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of Sagardeep Alloys Limited
("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2025, the Statement of Profit
and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the
Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date and notes to the Standalone Financial
Statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information
(herein after referred to as "the 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
(herein after referred to as "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 (herein after referred as "the
IND AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31st March, 2025 and its profit, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and
its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis of Our Opinion
We conducted our audit of Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standard on
Auditing (herein after referred to as "SAs") 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 (herein after referred as "ICAI") together with ethical requirements that are relevant to our
audit of Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and Rules made
thereunder, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained 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 year. 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 separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's
Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis,
Board's Report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and
Shareholder's Information, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements, Consolidated
Financial Statements and our auditors' 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 in 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. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the
Standalone Financial Statements
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 financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (IND AS)
specified under the 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 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 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.
The Board of Directors is 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 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 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 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 ability of the Company
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 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 financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the 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 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.
