Standalone Financial Statements.

Considering the materiality of the balances involved
together with significant management judgements and
estimates involved, we determined the assessment of
impairment as a Key Audit Matter.

We have audited the accompanying Standalone
Financial Statements of
Aurobindo Pharma Limited (the
"Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at
March 31, 2026, and the Statement of Profit and Loss
(including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement
of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity
for the year ended on that date, and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of material 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, ("Ind AS") and
other accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,
2026, its profit and other comprehensive income, its
cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended
on that date.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing ("SA"s) specified under Section 143(10) of
the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are
further described in the Auditor's Responsibility 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 ethical 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.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS AND AUDITOR'S REPORT THEREON

• The Company's Board of Directors is
responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included
in the Management Discussion & Analysis,
Board's Report, Business Responsibility and
Sustainability report and Report on Corporate
Governance including annexure, but does not
include the Consolidated Financial Statements,
Standalone Financial Statements and our
auditor's 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
during 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.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT ANDBOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE STANDALONEFINANCIAL 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, cash flows and changes
in equity of the Company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including Ind AS 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 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 Standalone Financial Statements,
management and Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intend
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY 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
controls 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 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 financial
controls 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.
