We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of SSPN FINANCE
LIMITED (the “Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, 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 a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter
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 (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
March 31, 2024 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 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 matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in
our report.

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 Report, Corporate Governance and
Shareholder’ s Information, but does not include the 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.

Management’s Responsibilities 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, including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS 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 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.

The Board of Directors is 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 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 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 the 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.
