Key Audit Matter
Auditor's Response
1.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods (hereinafter referred to as"Revenue") is recognised when the Company performs itsobligation to its customers and the amount of revenue canbe measured reliably and recovery of the consideration isprobable. The timing of such recognition is when the controlover goods is transferred to the customers, which is mainlyupon delivery.
The timing of revenue recognition is relevant to the reportedperformance of the Company. The management considersrevenue as a key measure for evaluation of performance.There is a risk of revenue being recorded before the controlover goods is transferred.
Refer Note 1.3A of the standalone financial statements -Material Accounting Policies.
Principal Audit Procedures
Our audit approach was a combination of tests of internal controls
and substantive procedures including:
• Assessing the appropriateness of Company's revenuerecognition in line with Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contractswith Customers.
• Evaluating the design and implementation of Company'scontrols in respect of revenue recognition.
• Testing the effectiveness of such controls over revenue cutoff at the year end.
• Testing the supporting documentation for sales transactionsrecorded during the period closer to the year-end andsubsequent to the year-end, including examination of creditnotes issued after the year end to determine whether revenuewas recognised in the correct period.

Appropriateness of capitalisation of costs as per IndAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
During the year, the Company capitalised H147.72 crore asProperty, plant and equipment.

Refer Note 1.3B of the standalone financial statements -Material Accounting Policies.
We have performed the following procedures in relation to testing
of capitalization of costs:
• Understood, evaluated and tested the design and operatingeffectiveness of key controls relating to capitalization of variouscosts incurred in relation to Property, Plant and Equipment.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and accordingto the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financialstatements give the information required by the Companies Act,2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fairview in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards prescribedunder section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state ofaffairs of the Company as at March 31,2025, and its profit (includingother comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flowsfor the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standardson Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act.Our responsibilities under those Standards are further describedin the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements section of our report. We are independentof the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued bythe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with theethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalonefinancial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rulesthereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities inaccordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics issuedby the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. We believe thatthe audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgement, were of most significance in our audit of the standalonefinancial statements of the current period. These matters wereaddressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financialstatements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, andwe do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We havedetermined the matters described below to be the key audit mattersto be communicated in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the otherinformation. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Directors Report but does not include the standalonefinancial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not coverthe other information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion 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 inconsistentwith the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtainedin the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there isa material misstatement of this other information, we are required toreport that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the mattersstated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparationof the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair viewof the financial position, financial performance, changes in equityand cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, including the accountingstandards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibilityalso includes maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of theassets of the Company and for preventing and detecting fraudsand other irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates thatare reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were
operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness ofthe accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentationof the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair viewand are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board ofDirectors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relatedto going concern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Companyor to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing theCompany's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe standalone financial statements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor'sreport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of the standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professionaljudgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout theaudit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of thestandalone 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 appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion.

(c) Based on the audit procedures that havebeen considered reasonable and appropriatein the circumstances, nothing has come to
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.

Under section 143(3)0) of the Act, weare also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe Company has adequate internal financial controls withreference to standalone financial statements in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.

If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosuresin the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are basedon the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause theCompany to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe standalone financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the standalone financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achievesfair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements maybe influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluatingthe results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the auditand significant audit findings, including any significant deficienciesin internal control that we identify during our audit.
