How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter

Revenue from contracts with customers
Refer Note 1(b) to the accompanying Standalone financial
statements for material accounting policy information on
revenue recognition and Note 20 for the details of revenue
recognised during the year.
As per the principles of Ind AS 115 ‘Revenue from Contracts
with Customers' (Ind AS 115), revenue from sale of
products is recognized at a point in time when the control
of the promised goods is transferred to the customer,
which depends on the specific terms and conditions of
the revenue contracts entered with the customers and
revenue from long-term fixed price contracts is recognized
over time based on input method, as it represents efforts
expended relative to the total expected efforts to satisfy the
performance obligation.
|
Our audit procedures in relation to revenue recognition
included, but were not limited to, the following:
a) Understood the nature of revenue transactions, revenue
recognition process and evaluated the appropriateness
of the accounting policy adopted by the Management in
accordance with Ind AS 115;
b) Evaluated the design and tested the operating
effectiveness of key internal financial controls around
revenue recognition;
c) Performed substantive testing on selected samples
of revenue transactions recorded during the year and
during specific periods before and after year-end,
by inspecting supporting documents such as sales
invoices, customer contracts, shipping documents,
proofs of dispatch and delivery etc, to ensure that
the correct amount of revenue is recorded for such
transactions in the correct period;

Information 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. I n 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 the Standalone
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
the standalone financial statements, no
funds have been advanced or loaned or
invested (either from borrowed funds or
securities premium or any other sources
or kind of funds) by the Company to or
in any person(s) or entity(ies), including
foreign entities (‘the intermediaries'), with
the understanding, whether recorded in
writing or otherwise, that the intermediary
shall, whether, directly or indirectly lend
or invest in other persons or entities
identified in any manner whatsoever
by or on behalf of the Company (‘the
Ultimate Beneficiaries') or provide any
guarantee, security or the like on behalf
the Ultimate Beneficiaries;
b. The Management has represented that,
to the best of its knowledge and belief, as
disclosed in Note 46(v) to the standalone
financial statements, no funds have been
received by the Company from any
person(s) or entity(ies), including foreign
entities (‘the Funding Parties'), with the
understanding, whether recorded in
writing or otherwise, that the Company
shall, whether directly or indirectly, lend
or invest in other persons or entities
identified in any manner whatsoever
by or on behalf of the Funding Party
(‘Ultimate Beneficiaries') or provide any
guarantee, security or the like on behalf
of the Ultimate Beneficiaries; and
c. Based on such audit procedures
performed as considered reasonable
and appropriate in the circumstances,
nothing has come to our notice that
has caused us to believe that the
Management representations under
sub-clauses (a) and (b) above contain
any material misstatement.
/. The final dividend paid by the Company during
the year ended 31 March 2026 in respect of
such dividend declared for the previous year
is in accordance with Section 123 of the Act
to the extent it applies to payment of dividend.
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 is therefore the
key audit matter. 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.
