(Refer Note 2 of the Standalone FinancialStatements)
The Company has prepared its financialstatements for the year ended on 31 March 2025in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards(Ind AS) for the first time, which involvedsignificant changes to its financial reportingframework.
Our audit procedures include the following:
• Evaluating the Company's transition process and project governance framework;
• Assessing the appropriateness of the transition adjustments and accountingpolicies selected under Ind AS;
• Testing the calculations and adjustments made to the opening balance sheetand comparative periods;
• Evaluating disclosures in the financial statements to ensure compliance withthe requirements of Ind AS 101.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the otherinformation. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Annual Report including Annexures to AnnualReport but does not include the Standalone Financial Statementsand our auditors' report thereon. The Annual Report includingAnnexures to Annual Report is expected to be made available tous after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does notcover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether such other information ismaterially inconsistent with the standalone financial statementsor our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears tobe materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed,we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report that fact to those chargedwith governance. Accordingly, we have nothing to report, as ofnow, in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the mattersstated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")with respect to the preparation and presentation of thesestandalone financial statements that give a true and fair viewof the financial position, financial performance and cash flowsof the Company in accordance with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, including the Indian AccountingStandards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act readwith the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015,as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with the provisionsof the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selectionand application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring theaccuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevantto the preparation and presentation of the standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management isresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as agoing concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing thecompany's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe standalone financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individually orin the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influencethe economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professionaljudgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout theaudit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of thestandalone financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to theaudit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the CompaniesAct, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the company has adequate internal financialcontrols with reference to standalone financial statements inplace and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of thegoing concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosuresin the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe standalone financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the standalone financial statements representthe underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
