We have audited the accompanying financial statements of

Loss including Other Comprehensive Income, the Statement of
Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year
then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory
information (hereinafter referred to as "the financial statements").

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 accounting principles generally accepted in
India, ofthe state of affairs ofthe Company as at March 31,2026,
its profit including other comprehensive income, the changes in
equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit ofthe financial statements in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under section
143(10) ofthe Act. Our responsibilities underthose Standards are
further described in the 'Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Financial Statements' section of our report. We are independent
ofthe 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
thereunder, and we have fulfilled ourotherethical responsibilities
in accordance with these requirements and the 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.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit ofthe 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.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matters

A. Inventories

Refer Notes 2 and 10 to the financial statements.

As at March 31, 2026, the total carrying amount of
inventories was Rs. 31,866.68 Lakhs. The assessment
of impairment of inventories involves significant
estimation uncertainty, subjective assumptions and the
application of significant judgment.

Reviews are made periodically by management on
inventories for obsolescence and decline in net
realizable value below cost. Allowances are recorded
against the inventories for any such declines based on
historical obsolescence and slow-moving history. Key
factors considered include the nature of the inventory,
its ageing, shelf life and turnover rate. Accordingly, due
to complexity/judgement involved in inventory valuation,
inventory valuation was determined to be a key audit
matter in our audit ofthe financial statements.

We have analyzed the ageing ofthe inventories, reviewed the historical
trend on whetherthere were significant inventories written offor reversal
ofthe allowances for inventories obsolescence. We conducted a detailed
discussion with the key management and considered their views on the
adequacy of allowances for inventories obsolescence considering the
current economic environment. We have also verified the subsequent
selling prices in the ordinary course of business and compared against
the carrying amounts of the inventories on a sampling basis at the
reporting date.

We found management's assessment of the allowance for inventory
obsolescence to be reasonable based on available evidence.

B. Evaluation of uncertain positions of duty and taxes

Refer Notes 43.2 to the financial statements.

The Company has material uncertain positions of duty
and taxes including matters under dispute which
involves significant judgment to determine the possible
outcome of these disputes.

There are several pending duty and taxes demands
against the Company across various jurisdictions.
Accordingly, management exercises its judgement in
estimation of provision required in respect of such
cases. The evaluation of management's judgements,
including those that involve estimations in assessing
the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a
liability will arise, and the quantification of the ranges
of potential financial settlement have been a matter
of most significance during the current year audit.

We have obtained details ofcomplete duty and taxes assessments and
demands raised till signing of this report from management. We considered
management's assessment of the validity and adequacy of provisions
for uncertain positions of duty and taxes, evaluating the basis of
assessment and reviewing relevant correspondence and legal advice
where available including any information regarding similar cases with
the relevant tax authorities. We have discussed the management's
assumptions in estimating the provisions and the possible outcome of
the disputes.

In respectofvarious duty and taxes demands and liabilities, we assessed
the appropriateness of management's assumptions, estimates and
disclosure / adjustments in the financial statements.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matters

Accordingly, due to complexity/judgement involved in
outcome ofthese dispute. Uncertain positions ofduty
and taxes were determined to be a key audit matter in
our audit ofthe financial statements.

C. Provision for Doubtful Advance

Refer Notes 41 to the financial statements.

As at March 31,2026,the Company has an outstanding
advance against material of Rs. 4104.91 Lakhs paid to
a foreign supplier for supply of petroleum coke, against
which the counterparty failed to deliver. As abundant
caution, the Company has recognised provision for
doubtful advance of Rs. 2052.45 Lakhs (50% of carrying
amount) under Ind AS 37, disclosed as an exceptional
item. The matter involved significantjudgement in: (a)
classifying the advance as a non-monetary, non-financial
asset under Ind AS 21 para 16 rather than a financial
asset under Ind AS 32/109 - a determination that directly
impacts whether an unrealised foreign exchange gain
is recognised on a doubtful balance; (b) the quantum
of provision, given the cross-border recovery uncertainty
and the geopolitical disruption caused by the Red Sea
shipping crisis. Accordingly, this matter was determined
to be a key audit matter in our audit of the financial
statements.

We evaluated management's classification of the advance against the
definition of a financial asset under Ind AS 32 para 11 and verified,
through general ledger inspection, that no year-end restatement at the
closing exchange rate was applied to the outstanding balance. We
independently assessed the adequacy ofthe provision by evaluating all
recovery channels i.e. post-dated cheques, marine cargo insurance
policies, personal guarantee ofthe counterparty's proprietor, and Dubai
Court enforcement proceedings. Our independent estimate of the
unrecoverable portion confirming management's provision to be
conservative. As a further validation, an illustrative Expected Credit Loss
computation under Ind AS 109 yielded lower than management's provision
which confirm that no under-provisioning under any methodology.

In respect of provision for doubtful advance, we assessed the
appropriateness of management's assumptions, estimates and disclosure
/ adjustments in the financial statements.

Other Information

The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the information included
in the Report ofthe Directors, Management Discussion & Analysis,
Corporate Governance Report and Business Responsibility and
Sustainability Reporting including Annexures, but does not include
the financial statements and our auditor's reports thereon. 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 identified above when
it becomes available 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 report that fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard.

Responsibilities of Management forthe 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 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (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 ofadequate
internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring
the accuracy and completeness ofthe 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 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 ofaccounting unless management either
intends to liquidate the Company orto cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are 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 ofthese 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
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, orthe 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 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 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 modifyouropinion. Ourconclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained upto 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 mannerthat achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the 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 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 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 ofsuch communication.
