1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial

Company”), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet
as at March 31, 2025, and the Standalone Statement of
Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income),
the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and the
Standalone Statement of Cash Flows for the year then
ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements,
including material accounting policy information and other
explanatory information.

2. 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company
as at March 31, 2025, and total comprehensive income
(comprising of profit and other comprehensive income),
changes in equity and its cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit 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 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 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 opinion.

Key audit matters

4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgement, 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.

Other Information

5. 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. The annual report 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 will 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 when it becomes available
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 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 the appropriate action as applicable
under the relevant laws and regulations.

Responsibilities of management and those
charged with governance for the standalone
financial statements

6. 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, changes in equity and cash flows
of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian
Accounting Standards 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 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 standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view and are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.

7. In preparing the standalone financial statements, Board
of Directors 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 Board of
Directors 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

8. 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.

9. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Ý 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

Reviewing minutes of the Board of Directors' meetings
and management budgets to understand if there are any
macro conditions that can have adverse effect on the
financial performance of the company.

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.

Ý 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 standalone financial
statements in place and the operating effectiveness of
such controls.

Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.

Ý 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.

Ý 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

13. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order,
2020 ("the Order”), issued by the Central Government of
India in terms of sub-section (11) of Section 143 of the

and Auditors) Rules, 2014 (as amended).

(g) With respect to the adequacy of the internal financial
controls with reference to standalone financial

effectiveness of such controls, refer to our separate

(h) With respect to the other matters to be included in

or kind of funds by the Company to or in
any other person(s) or entity(ies), including

understanding, whether recorded in writing

used accounting software SAP and is in the
process of establishing necessary controls and

the audit trail feature of the aforesaid software.
Accordingly, the question of our commenting

not arise. Further, the audit trail, to the extent
maintained in the prior year, has been preserved
by the Company as per the statutory requirements
for record retention.
