In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, theaforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013(‘the Act’) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the IndianAccounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of thestate of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2025, and its profit (including other comprehensiveincome/ (loss)), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10)of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’sResponsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We areindependent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of CharteredAccountants of India (‘ICAI’) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of thestandalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, and we havefulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in ouraudit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in thecontext of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinionthereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have not identified any matterto be a key audit matter for the purpose of it to be communicated in our report.
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone financialstatements and our auditor’s report 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 thestandalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the 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 and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a trueand fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income,changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, including the accounting standards specified under Section 133of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing anddetecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;making judgments 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 presentation ofthe 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, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Board of Directors either intends toliquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The 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 statementsas a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually orin the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error; to design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks; and
to obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act we areresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financialcontrols system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events 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 economics decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user ofthe financial statement may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factor in
(i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the result of our work and (ii) to evaluate theeffect of any identified misstatements in the 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 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 standalone financial statements of the current period andare therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequencesof doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
