Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standardson Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.Our responsibilities under those SAs are further describedin the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of theStandalone Financial Statements section of our report.

of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountantsof India together with the ethical requirements that arerelevant to our audit of the standalone financial statementsunder the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder,and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities inaccordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinionon the standalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 22 of the accompanyingstandalone financial statements for the year ended 31March 2025 which describes that in the previous year theCompany had given guarantee aggregating to Rs. 5500 lakhsin favour of a bank for the loan obtained by its joint ventureentity without obtaining prior approval of the shareholdersof the Company by way of special resolution. The aforesaidguarantee given was not in compliance with Section 185 ofthe Companies Act, 2013. The Company has subsequentlyobtained the shareholders' approval during the current year.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgment, were of most significance in our audit of thestandalone financial statements of the current period. Thesematters were addressed in the context of our audit of thestandalone financial statements as a whole, and in formingour opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separateopinion on these matters.
Revenue Recognition
See Note 3(k) and 25 to standalone financial statements
How the Key Audit Matter was addressed in our audit
Revenue is recognised when the control of the underlying productshas been transferred to customer along with the satisfaction of theCompany's performance obligation under a contract with customer.
Further, the Company gives incentives to its dealers throughvarious schemes.
Due to various schemes and a large variety of contractual termsacross dealers, the computation of these incentives is consideredto be complex. The amount of such incentive is also significant.
In view of the significance of the matter we applied thefollowing audit procedures in this area, among others to obtainsufficient appropriate audit evidence:
Ý Evaluated the appropriateness of the Company'saccounting policy relating to revenue recognition.
Ý Evaluated the design of key internal financial controlsand operating effectiveness of the relevant key controlswith respect to revenue recognition and computationof incentives
The management considers revenue as key measure forevaluation of performance.
In view of the above, we have determined this matter to be a keyaudit matter.
Ý Performed substantive testing over a sample of salestransactions for compliance with the Company'saccounting principles to assess the occurrence andaccuracy of revenue recorded. For such samples, verifiedthe underlying documents, including invoices, deliverydocuments/record (as applicable) to assess whetherthese are recognized in the appropriate period in whichcontrol is transferred
Ý Performed retrospective review and substantive testingover incentives recorded and paid during the year. Weselected samples of incentives accrued/ paid andverified the computation from the underlying data andterms and conditions of the applicable incenitve scheme.
Ý Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures made.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financialstatements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the otherinformation is materially inconsistent with the standalonefinancial statements or our knowledge obtained in the auditor otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, basedon the work we have performed, we conclude that there isa material misstatement of this other information, we arerequired to report that fact. We have nothing to report inthis regard.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of theStandalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the standalone financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these standalonefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
Ý Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the standalone financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
Ý Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)
(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the company has adequateinternal financial controls with reference to financialstatements in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by the Management andBoard of Directors.
Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of the Managementand Board of Directors use of the going concern basisof accounting in preparation of standalone financialstatements and, based on the audit evidence obtained,whether a material uncertainty exists related to eventsor conditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor's reportto the related disclosures in the standalone financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Ý Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the standalone financialstatements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor'sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,we determine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
