We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards onAuditing ("SAs") specified under section 143(10) of the act. Our responsibilities under thosestandards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
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. Thesematters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole,and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Reportincluding Annexures to Board's Report, Report on Corporate Governance, but does not include theconsolidated financial statements, Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon.The Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's report including annexures to Board's report,
Report on Corporate Governance is expected to be made available to us after the date of thisauditor's report
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and wewill not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read theother information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether theother information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or ourknowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's report including annexures toBoard's report, Report on Corporate Governance Report, if we conclude that there is a materialmisstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governanceas required under SA 720 'The Auditor's responsibilities Relating to Other Information'.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Actwith respect to the preparation and presentation of these Standalone Financial Statements that givea true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including other comprehensiveincome, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, including Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act. Thisresponsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 presentationof the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management and Board of Directors areresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessthe Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
The Company's Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statementsas a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered materialif, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the 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 thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher thanfor one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of theAct, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial control system with reference to standalone financial statementsin place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that,individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements inthe standalone 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 deficienciesin internal financial controls that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere 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 standalone financial statements of the currentperiod and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's reportunless 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 theadverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interestbenefits of such communication.
