BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit of the standalone 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 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 ("ICAI") together
with the independence requirements that are relevant to
our audit of the standalone financial statements under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules made 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 obtained by us is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on
the standalone 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
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.

Sr. Key Audit Matter

Auditor's Response

1 Accuracy, Completeness, and disclosure with reference

Our audit procedures, amongst others, include the following -

to Ind AS-16 of Property, Plant and Equipment (including
Capital Work-in-Progress

Obtaining an understanding of operating effectiveness of
management's internal control over capital expenditure.

The carrying value of property, plant and equipment
(including capital work in progress) as on 31 March
2025 of '1,31,438.90 Lakhs (as on 31 March 2024
of
' 99,449.95 Lakhs) includes '16,904.86 Lakhs

records, valuation and accounting of transactions pertaining
to Property, Plant and Equipment including Capital Work in
Progress with reference to Indian Accounting Standard 16:
Property, Plant and Equipment.

Cost Recognition of Property, Plant and Equipment as
specified in Ind AS 16 is based on completion of asset
construction activities and management assessment
and judgement that the asset is capable of operating
in the manner intended.

We have reviewed management judgment pertaining to
estimation of useful life and depreciation of the Property,
Plant and Equipment as well as its assessment that the asset
is ready for its intended use.

Sr. Key Audit Matter
No.

Auditor's Response

The asset capitalisation is the outcome of various
procurements, approvals from operations experts in
the Company and judgements by the management and
therefore, required significant audit attention.

Refer Note 4: Property, Plant and Equipment in Notes
to the Standalone Financial Statements.

We have verified the capitalization of borrowing cost incurred
on qualifying asset in accordance with the Indian Accounting
Standard 23: Borrowing Costs.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITOR'S REPORT
THEREON

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the
preparation of the other information. The other information
comprises information included in the Management
Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including annexures
thereto, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report,
Corporate Governance Report, and Shareholder Information,
but does not include the standalone financial statements
and our auditor's report thereon, which is expected to be
made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.
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
identified above 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.

When we read the additional information mentioned above
that will be included in the Annual Report, if we conclude that
there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance
and take appropriate action as applicable under the relevant
laws and regulations.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other
information obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report,
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 THE MANAGEMENT AND
THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE
STANDALONE 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 standalone 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 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 the assets of the Company and
for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;
selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;
making judgements 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 standalone financial statements 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.

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
Company's financial reporting process.

AUDITORS' 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 the 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 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 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 Ind
AS 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 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 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.
