These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financialstatements 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 described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

The Companies carries property, plant and equipmentwith net written down value of Rs.70.04 Crores as at31 March 2025, with the majority of value attributedto plant & machinery as disclosed in note- 4 of theStandalone Financial Statements.
However, due to their materiality in the contest of thecompany's Standalone Financial Statements as a wholeand significant degree of the judgement and subjectivityinvolved in the estimates and key assumptions used, thisis considered to be the area to be of most significanceto the audit and accordingly, has been considered askey audit matter for the current year audit.

The Company makes an assessment of the estimatedcredit losses on trade receivables based on creditrisk, project status, past history, latest discussion/correspondence with the customer. Given thesignificance of these receivables in the financialstatements as at 31 March 2025, we determined this tobe a key audit matter.
Our audit procedure included, among others:

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Annual Report 2024-25 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 do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements, or our knowledgeobtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we concludethat there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. Reporting under this section isnot applicable as no other information is obtained at the date of this auditor's report.
The accompanying financial statements have been approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's Managementand the Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation ofthese standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including othercomprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accountingprinciples generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith 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 reasonableand prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectivelyforensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of thestandalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the goingconcern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative 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 standalone financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detecta material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thisstandalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughoutthe 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 appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the companyhas adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of suchcontrols.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. 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 going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. Weconsider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results ofour work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the auditand 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 requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought tobear 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 significancein the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe thesematters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
