In our opinion and to the best of our information and according tothe explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financialstatements give the information required by the Companies Act,2013 (the “Act”) in the manner so required and give a true andfair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standardsprescribed under section 133 of the Act, (“Ind AS”) and otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state ofaffairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, and its profit, totalcomprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equityfor the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statementsin accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA”s) specifiedunder section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under thoseStandards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilityfor the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section ofour report. We are independent of the Company in accordancewith the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of CharteredAccountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethicalrequirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalonefinancial statements under the provisions of the Act and theRules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethicalresponsibilities in accordance with these requirements and theICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtainedby us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our auditopinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalonefinancial statements of the current period. We have determinedthat there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
• The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the otherinformation. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Management Discussion and Analysis andDirectors’ report, but does not include the consolidatedfinancial statements, standalone financial statements andour auditor’s report thereon.
• Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does notcover the other information and we do not express any formof assurance conclusion thereon.
• In connection with our audit of the standalone financialstatements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether the other informationis materially inconsistent with the standalone financialstatements, or our knowledge obtained during the course ofour audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
• If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude thatthere is a material misstatement of this other information, weare required to report that fact. We have nothing to report inthis regard.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation of these standalone financial statements that give atrue and fair view of the financial position, financial performanceincluding other comprehensive income, cash flows and changesin equity of the Company in accordance with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, including Ind AS specifiedunder section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includesmaintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets ofthe Company and for preventing and detecting frauds andother irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates thatare reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that wereoperating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completenessof the accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the financial statements that give a true and fairview and are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, managementand Board of Directors are responsible for assessing theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern and using the goingconcern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors eitherintend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or hasno realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company’s Board of Directors is also responsible foroverseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe standalone 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 guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individually orin the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influencethe economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of thestandalone financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate 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 financialcontrols with reference to standalone financial statements inplace and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of thegoing concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosuresin the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor’s report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of thestandalone financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the standalone financial statements representthe underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate theeffect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financialstatements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal financial controls that we identify duringour audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financial statementsof the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless lawor regulation 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 be expectedto outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
