(including Other Comprehensive loss), the Statement of
Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for
the year ended on that date, and notes to the financial

accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company

income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the
year ended on that date.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
(“SA”s) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further described
in the Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements section of our report. We are
independent of the Company in accordance with the Code
of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial
statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules
made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone
financial statements.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements of the current period.
These matters 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. We have determined
the matters described below to be the key audit matters to
be communicated in our report.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND AUDITOR’S REPORT THEREON

• The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for
the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Management
Discussion and Analysis, Directors’ report to the
shareholders including Annexures to Board’s Report,
Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report,
Corporate Governance report, but does not include
the consolidated financial statements, standalone
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
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

• I n connection with our audit of the standalone financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the
standalone financial statements or our knowledge
obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.

• I f, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND BOARD
OF DIRECTORS FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to
the preparation of these standalone financial statements
that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income, cash
flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of

the Act for safeguarding 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 are
reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that
were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the financial statements
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
assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

The Company’s Board of Directors is also responsible for
overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AUDIT OF THE
STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the standalone financial statements as 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 misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence 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 skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

• I dentify 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 those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement 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 controls
relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that 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 with reference
to 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
and related disclosures made by the management.

• 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 or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the standalone financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the
audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions 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 the
disclosures, and whether the standalone financial
statements represent 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 reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone
financial statements may be influenced. We consider

quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning
the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results
of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified
misstatements in the standalone financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal financial controls that
we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a
statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate
with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably 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 of
most significance in the audit of the standalone financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,
we determine that a matter should not be communicated
in our report because the adverse consequences of doing
so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
