the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements

a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

4. 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.

5. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

| Key audit matters_

Revenue recognition

The Company's revenue is derived primarily from manufacturing and sale of advance braking systems, aluminium
light weighting precision solutions and safety control cables (“products”) recognised in accordance with the
accounting policy described in note 2.2(o) to the accompanying standalone financial statements. Refer note 24
and 44 for details of revenue recognised during the year.

Revenue recognition for sale of products and services in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115 ‘Revenue
from contracts with customers' (Ind AS 115) involves certain key judgements such as identification of performance
obligations, determination of transaction price of the identified performance obligations including variable
consideration in the form of volume discounts, turnover discounts, scheme discounts and cash discounts offered by
the Company, assessment of satisfaction of the performance obligations using an appropriate basis to measure the
transfer of control of the products sold and services rendered to the customers.

Further, the Company recognises revenue from the sale of goods based on the agreed terms with the customers
which includes accruals/reversals relating to change in price of the products from customers on a periodic basis due
to change in material cost. These accruals/reversals form part of the revenue from the sale of goods in accordance
with the Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

| Key audit matters_

The Company and its external stakeholders focus on revenue as a key performance measure, which could be an
incentive or external pressures to meet expectations resulting in revenue being overstated or recognised before
control has been transferred. There were considerable auditor efforts involved in testing the revenue recognition
for the revenue recorded during the year.

Revenue is also a key performance indicator of the Company and is identified as a significant audit risk in accordance
with the standards on auditing primarily as there is a risk that revenue is recognised on sale of products or services
before the control is transferred. Accordingly, occurrence of revenue is a key focus area.

Considering the materiality of the amounts involved, the nature of arrangements and time involved in the initiation
and finalisation of amount with the customers, considerable auditor efforts involved in testing the revenue recognition
for the revenue recorded during the year and accordingly, the matter has been identified as Key Audit Matter .
Impairment assessment of investment in joint venture

Refer note 2.2(j) to the accompanying standalone financial statements for accounting policies and note 5 for
financial disclosures with respect to carrying value of investment in joint venture.

The Company has made investment in joint venture whose carrying amount as at 31 March 2026 is Rs. 43.12 crores.

As at 31 March 2026, the carrying amount of investment in the joint venture is higher than the proportionate share
of net worth of the joint venture, which has been identified as an impairment indicator by the management in
accordance with the principles of Ind AS 36, Impairment of Assets (‘Ind AS 36').

Accordingly, the management has performed detailed impairment testing for such investment in joint venture
by carrying out a valuation with the help of an independent valuation specialist as a management's expert using
discounted cash flow (‘DCF') method in order to determine the recoverable value of investment in such joint venture.
The impairment assessment of this investment is complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation
required to determine the value-in-use (VIU). In particular, the determination of the VIU is sensitive to significant
assumptions, such as changes in the discount rate, revenues, operating margin and terminal value, which are affected
by expectations about future market or economic conditions and other challenges. Accordingly, the matter has
been identified as a key audit matter for the current year.

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.

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.

The Annual Report is not made available to us at the date of this auditor's report. We have nothing to report
in this regard.

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 standalone financial statements that
give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

8. In 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
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 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
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 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.

lend or invest in other persons or
entities identified in any manner

Funding Party (‘Ultimate Beneficiaries')
or provide any guarantee, security
