We conducted our audit of the Standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards onAuditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards arefurther described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statementssection of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Standalone financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in theaudit of the Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025. These matters wereaddressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone financial statements as a whole and in formingour opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determinedthat there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's
Report including Annexure to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance andShareholder's Information, but does not include the Standalone financial statements and our auditor'sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do notexpress any 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 thefinancial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a materialmisstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report inthis regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act withrespect to the preparation of these Standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of thefinancial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with theAccounting Standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility alsoincludes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act forsafeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that arereasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financialcontrols, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fairview and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company'sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and usingthe going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or tocease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor'sreport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these Standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design auditproce- dures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are alsoresponsi- ble for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controlssystem in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management.
4. 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 orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report tothe related disclosures in the Standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify 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 agoing concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone financial statements that, individually orin aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of theStandalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) toevaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the 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 deficiencies ininternal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludespublic disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication
