Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements section of ourreport. 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 independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour audit
opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance
in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis,
Board’s Reportincluding 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 expressany 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 appearsto 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 Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS
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 the Indian
Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act and relevant rules there
under.

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 Ind AS financial statementsthat 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 are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

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 issufficient 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 controls.

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 andthe operating effectiveness of such controls.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based onthe audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may castsignificant 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 modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s 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 eventsin 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 financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative
materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning thescope of our audit work and in evaluating the
results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial
statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control thatwe 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.
