In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid 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)

as at March 31,2025 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 financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) 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 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 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 financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 47 of the financial statements, which describes the conclusion of an independent review initiated by the
Board of Directors in relation to cross allegations between the Promoter Directors in earlier financial years of the nature described
in the said Note therein. Based on reports received from an Independent Law Firm and a Chartered Accountant Firm, and upon the
recommendation of the Committee of Independent Directors, the Board of Directors, at its meeting held on May 13, 2025, resolved to
conclude and close these matters. The Board has noted the findings of the independent review and confirmed that there is no financial
impact on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31,2025.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

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. We have determined the matters described below to be
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter
is provided In that context.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor's Response

Revenue Recognition - Sale of Goods

1.

Refer Note 2(m) in the Summary of material
accounting policies and other explanatory
information. The Company recognised an amount
of ? 1119.12 crore as revenue in the year ended 31
March 2025, as disclosed in Note 28 of the financial
statements.

Revenue for the Company primarily comprises of
revenue from sale of ice-cream and dairy products.

In accordance with Standards on Auditing, there is a
presumed fraud risk relating to revenue recognition.
Accordingly, occurrence and existence of revenue
is a key focus area on account of the multiplicity of
Company's products, multiple channels for sales,
various categories of customers having varying terms
of contracts and the volume of the sales made to
them.

Due to the above factors, we have identified testing of
revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

Our procedures included :

- Obtained an understanding of the process of each revenue
stream, particularly of ice-cream.

- Evaluated the design and implementation and tested the
operating effectiveness of controls over revenue recognition.

- Performed substantive analytical procedures on revenue which
includes region wise analysis.

- Evaluated the terms and conditions of the contracts, with
customers to ensure that the revenue recognition criteria are
assessed by the management in accordance with the accounting
standards.

- We selected a sample to test revenue transactions recorded
during the year, and revenue transactions recorded in the period
before and after year-end with supporting documents, such
as invoices, agreements with customers, proof of deliveries,
discounts and claims and subsequent collection of payment.

- Evaluated the design and implementation of key internal
controls over the revenue from sale through the combination of
procedures involving inquiry and observations, reperformance
and inspection of evidence in respect of operations of these
controls.

- Performed other substantive audit procedures including
obtaining Trade Receivables confirmations on a sample basis,
obtaining reconciliations in cases of variation, reviewed the
subsequent collection of payment and proof of deliveries
document of such selected Trade Receivables.

- Evaluated disclosures made in the financial statements for
revenue recognition from sale of goods for appropriateness in
accordance with the accounting standards.

Recoverability of Trade Receivables and Provision for Expected Credit Loss

2.

The Company as at 31 March 2025, has Trade
Receivables amounting to ? 57.28 crore (net of
provision) considering the materiality of the amounts
involved, volume of the customers and significant
management judgement involved in its assessment
of recoverability, this was considered to be a key audit
matter in the audit of the financial statements.

- Obtaining an understanding of the management processes,
evaluating the design and testing the effectiveness of key
internal financial controls over assessing the recoverability of
trade receivables.

- Discussing extensively with management regarding steps taken
for recovering the amounts and evaluating the design and
testing operating effectiveness of controls.

- Assessing the reasonability of judgements exercised and
estimates made by management in recognition of these
receivables and validating them with corroborating evidence.

- Challenging the assumptions made by the management with
respect to the provisions to be made as per the Expected Credit
Loss, reperforming the arithmetic calculations, and evaluating
the assumptions made with the base data.

- Obtained confirmations from customers on sample basis to
support existence assertion of trade receivables.

- Evaluated the nature and status of customers and obtained
the understanding from management about whether ongoing
business relationship with the customers and past payment
history of customers.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Board's Report including Annexures to the Board's Report, and Shareholder's Information, but does not
include the financial statements and our auditors' reports thereon. The other information is expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditors' report.

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the 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 communicate the matter to those charged with governance as required under SA 720 'The
Auditor's responsibilities relating to other Information'.

Management's responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act, with respect to
the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including
total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act and the rules thereunder, as amended. 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 the 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 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 management or Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative
but to do so.

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

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the
audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the
financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, make 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 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 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 financial statements for the financial year ended March 31,2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditors' 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.
