We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance inour audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025. We havedetermined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report,Management Discussion and Analysis, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but doesnot include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not expressany form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent withthe financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materiallymisstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of thisother information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibility of Management for Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of theCompanies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial state¬ments that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs (financial position), profit or loss (financialperformance including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Compa¬ny in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accountingStandards specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Stan¬dards) Rules, 2015, as amended.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detectingfrauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments 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 ofthe financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 usingthe going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company orto cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reportingprocess.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee thatan 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 theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken onthe basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detect¬ing a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proce¬dures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are alsoresponsible for explaining 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. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue asa going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events ina manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individuallyor in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user ofthe financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) toevaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal control that 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 andother 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 mattersthat were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and aretherefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regula¬tion precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we deter¬mine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences ofdoing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communica¬tion.
