We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Maruti Suzuki India Limited (“the Company”),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the
Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of
Changes in Equity 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.

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, (“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, its cash flows and the changes in
equity 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 Responsibility
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

statements and our auditor’s report thereon) which we
obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the
Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report,
Management Discussion and Analysis and Business
Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting which are
expected to be made available to us after that date.

• Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does
not cover the other information and we do not and will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

• I n 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 during the course of
our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

• I f, based on the work we have performed on the other
information that we obtained prior to the date of this
auditor’s report, 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.

• When we read the Board’s Report including Annexures to
Board’s Report, Management Discussion and Analysis and
Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting, if we
conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we
are required to communicate the matter to those charged
with governance as required under SA 720 ‘The Auditor’s
responsibilities Relating to Other Information’.

Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors
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, cash flows and changes
in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India including 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 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.

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 intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations,
or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

Auditor’s Responsibility 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 scepticism
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 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 with reference to 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’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 financial controls 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.
