These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of thefinancial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on thesematters.
Auditor's Response

The Company is having Inventory of Rs. 1588.46 lakhs ason 31 March 2025. As described in the accounting policiesNote No. 3.12 to the financial statements, inventories arecarried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Themanagement applies judgment in determining theappropriate provisions against inventories of Store, RawMaterial, Finished goods and Work in progress based upona detailed analysis of old inventory, net realisable valuebelow cost based upon future plans for sale of inventory. Toensure that all inventories owned by the entity are recordedand recorded inventories exist as at the year-end andvaluation has been done correctly, inventory valuation hasbeen considered as Key audit matters.

Revenue Recognition (as described in Note no. 3 and 27of the financial Statements)
Revenue is one of the key profit drivers. The cut-off is acritical assertion in revenue recognition, as aninappropriate cut-off can result in material misstatement offinancial results for the year. Revenue is recognized whenthe control of the underlying products has been transferredto customer along with the satisfaction of the Company'sperformance obligation under the contract.
The terms of sales arrangements, including the timing oftransfer of control, delivery specifications such asIncoterms, timing of recognition of sales require significantjudgment in determining the appropriate revenues.Consequently, there is a risk that revenue may not getrecognised in the correct accounting period.
Our audit procedures included:
a) We assessed the appropriateness of the revenuerecognition accounting policies by comparing withapplicable accounting standards.
b) We evaluated the design, tested the implementationand operating effectiveness of key internal controlsincluding general IT controls and key IT applicationcontrols over recognition of revenue.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performanceincluding other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified undersection 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibilityalso includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding ofthe assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design,implementation and maintenance 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 the financialstatements 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 ability to continue as a goingconcern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, 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 alwaysdetect 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 onthe basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We are also:
a. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designand perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide 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 theoverride of internal control.
b. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to Financial Statements in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
d. 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 or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the 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 ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
e. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes itprobable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced.We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating theresults of our 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 ofthe audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
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 bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025, and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure aboutthe matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
