Company'), which comprise the standalone Balance
Sheet as at 31 March 2025, the standalone Statement of
Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income),
the standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and the
standalone Statement of Cash Flow for the year then

2. In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid

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 ('Ind

and other accounting principles generally accepted in
India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March
2025, and its profit (including other comprehensive

year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit of the standalone financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing 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 ('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 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 judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the Standalone financial statements of the
current financial year. 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.

Information other than the Standalone Financial
Statements and Auditor's Report thereon

6. The Company's Board of Directors are 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those
Charged with Governance for the Standalone
Financial Statements

7. The accompanying standalone financial statements have
been approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The
Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect
to the preparation and presentation of these standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows
of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS specified
under section 133 of the Act and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India. 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 financial statements

that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

8. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the
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 intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

9. The 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

10. 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 Standards on Auditing 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.

11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on
Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act
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 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 management;

• Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of
Directors' 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; and

• 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

for the year ended 31 March 2024 were audited by
