We have audited the accompanying financial statements of LIME CHEMICALS LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance

Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date and notes to the financial statements, including a summary
of significant 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 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 31st March, 2025, the profit including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on
that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted the audit of 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 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 we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the following note of the financial statements: -

Note 33B(d) regarding Non recognition of liability of Rs.33.85 lakhs payable to MSME vendor & provision of interest of Rs.3 lakhs
thereon as required under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development Act, 2006 on account of dispute between parties.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
Ind AS financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Ind AS 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.

Contingent Liabilities and Litigations

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, the

The Company is exposed to a number of regulatory proceedings,

following:

tax litigations, claims and other legal matters that could have
a significant financial impact depending on their outcome.
The assessment of the likelihood of an outflow of resources,
and the estimation of the potential financial effect, require
significant judgment by management. These judgments involve
interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, evaluation of
legal opinions, and assessment of the probability of success in
such matters.

Obtained an understanding of the Company's process for
identifying and monitoring pending litigations, claims and
regulatory matters.

Assessed the appropriateness of the accounting policies related
to recognition, measurement and disclosures.

Discussed with management and the in-house legal team
the nature of ongoing cases, recent developments, and

Given the magnitude of potential exposures and the inherent
uncertainty involved in estimating the outcome of these cases,
this area was considered to be a Key Audit Matter.

management's assessment of likely outcomes.

Evaluated the assumptions and estimates used by management
in determining whether a provision is required or whether
disclosure as a contingent liability is adequate.

Assessed the adequacy and completeness of the disclosures
made in the financial statements in respect of contingent
liabilities and litigations.

Based on the above procedures, we found management's
assessment and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities,
litigations to be reasonable and consistent with the information
obtained during our audit.

Information Other than the financial statements and Auditor's Report thereon

The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Director's Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report 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 and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of our
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.

Responsibility of Management and Board of Directors 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, total
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind
AS) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.

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 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 of accounting unless management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to 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 Standards on Audit (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, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, 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, 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 Companies Act 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on
whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system, in relation to the 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 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 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 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 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 are of most significance in
the audit of the financial statements of the current year 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 of such communication.
