In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaidStandalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the mannerso required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed undersection 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021, as amended, ("Ind AS")and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2025, and its profit and other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year endedon that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of theAct. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Auditof the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordancewith the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI") together with the ethicalrequirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Actand the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with theserequirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit ofthe financial statements of the current period. 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 onthese matters. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information.The other information comprises the information included in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board'sReport but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not expressany form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financialstatements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materiallymisstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Actwith respect to the preparation and presentation of these Standalone financial statements that give a true and fairview of the financial position, financial performance (including other comprehensive income), cash flows andchanges in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, includingthe applicable Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified in the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,2015 (as amended) under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accountingpolicies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management and board of directors are responsible for assessingthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern andusing the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The company's 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 wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraudor error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions 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 maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for 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 design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for
expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system with referenceto standalone financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based onthe audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that maycast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in thestandalone financial statements or if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusionsare based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events orconditions 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 thedisclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and eventsin a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalonefinancial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors (i) in planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought 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 ofmost significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
