We have audited the standalone financial statements of Oriental Rail Infrastructure Limited (“the Company”),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31st, 2026, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other
comprehensive income), Statement of Changes in Equity and Cash Flow statement for the year then ended on
31st March 2026 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
standalone 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) Rules, 2015, as amended,
(“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company
as at March 31st, 2026 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 in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10)
of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone 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
together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under
the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

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 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 matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated
in our report.

1. Conversion of convertible warrants into equity shares

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

During the financial year 2025-26, the Company
completed the conversion of Convertible Warrants,
which were issued in current financial years
(specifically allotments made on June 27, 2025,
July 12, 2025 and July 29, 2025), into fully paid-up

equity shares of face value ? 1 each. This
conversion was executed following the receipt of
the balance 75% of the issue price (? 169 per
warrant) from the warrant holders, in accordance
with the terms of the Private Placement Offer Cum
Application Letter (Form PAS-4) and the
provisions of Section 42 and 62 of the Companies
Act, 2013. The conversion resulted in a significant
increase in the Paid-up Equity Share Capital of ? 25
Lakhs and Securities Premium Account of ? 4,200
Lakhs of the Company.

approval for the allotment of equity shares upon the
exercise of warrants.

2. We cross-referenced the conversion terms with
the original Private Placement Offer Cum
Application Letter (Form PAS-4) and the
shareholder resolutions passed in the previous years
to ensure the conversion price and ratio were
applied correctly.

3. We inspected the Form PAS-3 (Return of
Allotment) filed with the Registrar of Companies to
ensure that the allotment was reported within the
statutory timelines.

4. We performed a verification of bank statements
to confirm the timely receipt of the balance amount
from the warrant holders before the allotment of
shares.

5. We reviewed the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosures made in the Notes to Accounts,
specifically regarding the movement in share
capital and the impact on the Diluted Earnings Per
Share (EPS) as per Ind AS 33.

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

Other information

The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report, but does not include the
standalone financial statements and our auditors’ 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. 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 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 financial statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, (changes in equity) and cash flows of the
Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting
Standards 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 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 financial statement that 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.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone financial statements

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 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 financial 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 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
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 auditors' 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 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.

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 Standalone

Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors (i) in
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 Standalone 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 standalone financial statements of the current period 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.
