Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgment, were of most significance in our audit of thefinancial statements of the current period. These matterswere addressed in the context of our audit of the financialstatements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter
Capitalisation of Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)
The Company has incurred significant capitalexpenditure during the year towards expansion of itsmanufacturing facilities. Determination of which costsqualify for capitalisation as PPE in accordance with IndAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" involvesmanagement judgement.
This includes:
Assessing whether costs directly attributable to bringingthe asset to its intended use are appropriately capitalised,
Identifying costs that should be expensed as repairs,maintenance or overheads, and
Determining the date when the asset is available for use.
Given the quantum of capitalisation, and the judgementrequired in applying accounting principles, we haveconsidered this matter as a key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our audit procedures included following:
Obtaining an understanding of the Company'scapitalisation policy and evaluating its compliance with IndAS 16.
Testing, on a sample basis, the capital expenditure incurredduring the year to assess whether the costs were directlyattributable to purchase or construction or bringing theasset to the location and condition necessary for it to becapable of operating.
Reviewing project completion and commissioning to verifythe timing of capitalisation.
Evaluating whether costs such as administrative overheadsor post-commissioning costs have been excluded fromcapitalisation.
Assessing the adequacy of related disclosures in thefinancial statements

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, ouiresponsibility is to read the other information identified abovewhen it made available and, in doing so, consider whether theother information is materially inconsistent with the financiastatements or our knowledge obtained in the audit oiotherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is cmaterial misstatement therein, we are required tocommunicate the matter to those charged with governanceand take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevanlaws and regulations.
Management's and Board of Directors Responsibility for theFinancial Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors areresponsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of theCompanies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to thepreparation of these financial statements that give a true andfair view of the financial position, financial performanceincluding other comprehensive income, cash flows andchanges in equity of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, including theIndian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian AccountingStandards) Rule, 2015, as amended.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of theAct for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;making judgments and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the financial statements that give a true andfair view and are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management and Boardof Directors are responsible for assessing the Company'sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or hasno realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of Directors arealso responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the FinancialStatements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users taken onthe basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
Ý Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of thefinancial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designand perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higher thanfor one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
Ý Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to theaudit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of
the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls with reference tofinancial statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management and Board of Director.
Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of management and Boardof Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting inthe preparation of financial statement and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However,future events or conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
Ý Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timingof the audit and significant audit findings, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of thecurrent period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditors' report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report because theadverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
