Our audit opinion on the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2025 is qualified in respect ofthe said matter.
We conducted our audit of the Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs)specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standardsare further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section ofour report.

We draw attention to Note 19 to the financial statements, regarding extensions of timelines/defaults inrepayment of debenture obligations arising out of liquidity crunch faced by the Company. We further

In view of the above, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability toraise additional funds as required and successful negotiations with lenders/debenture holders and vendorsfor continued support and generation of cash flow from its operations that it needs to settle its liabilities asthey fall due. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
We draw attention to the following matters. Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters:

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in ouraudit 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 describedbelow to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Key Audit Matter
Response To Key Audit Matter
The Company has significant borrowings fromvarious financial institutions and banks, includingboth short-term and long-term facilities. Theaccounting for borrowings requires carefulevaluation of the classification between current andnon-current portions, compliance with covenants,and accuracy in interest expense recognition.
Given the materiality of the borrowings in thefinancial statements and the complexities involvedin their accounting, disclosure, and complianceaspects, we considered this as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included, among others:
- Reviewing loan sanction letter and othersupporting documents to assess theclassification and measurement of borrowings;
- Evaluating management's assessment ofcompliance with debt covenants and verifyingsupporting calculations;
- Testing the arithmetical accuracy andappropriateness of interest expenserecognition;
- Verifying disclosures made in the financialstatements as per the applicable accountingstandards (e.g., Ind AS 107 and Ind AS 109,where applicable);
- Obtaining direct confirmations from lenders andreconciling them with the books of accounts;
- Assessing the adequacy of related disclosures inthe financial statements.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included in the Company's annual report, but does not include thefinancial statements and auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express anyform of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financialstatements 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 otherinformation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5)of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these financial Statements that
give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including total comprehensiveincome, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India, including Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified undersection 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventingand detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring theaccuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of theInd AS financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial Statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financialStatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial Statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, 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 proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we arealso responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financialcontrols system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates 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 orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report tothe related disclosures in the financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial Statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controlthat we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the financial Statements of the current period and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludespublic disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
