We have audited the standalone financial statements of Granules
India Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance
sheet as at March 31 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss,
including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the
Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity
for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone 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, as amended (“the Act”) in the manner
so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its profit including
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 (SAs), as 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 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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained 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 for the financial year ended March 31,2025.
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. For each matter below, our description of how our
audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key
audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled
the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities
for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of
our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly,
our audit included the performance of procedures designed to
respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement
of the standalone financial statements. The results of our audit
procedures, including the procedures performed to address the
matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the
accompanying standalone financial statements.

We have determined that there are no other key audit matters to
communicate in our report.

Other Information

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual report, but does not include the 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 such other information is
materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the 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 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, cash flows and changes in equity
of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read
with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015,
as amended. 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
the 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.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing
the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s 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 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 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
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.

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 for
the financial year ended March 31,2025 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.
