Descriptions of Key Audit Matter
How we addressed the matter in our audit
Revenue Recognition:
(Refer to Note 17 to the standalone financial statements)
There exists a risk that Revenue is recognised during the cutoff period though the control of the goods may not have beenpassed on to the customer. The Company also generatesit's revenue from engineering contracts, which includeboth contrancts related to micro irrigation systems and PEand PVC Pipes. These contracts are accounted under thepercentage of completion method (POCM). The applicationof revenue recognition accounting standards Ind AS 115 iscomplex and involves a number of judgments and estimates.Further revenue is accounted for under the POCM which alsorequires significant judgments and estimates in particularwith respect to estimation of the cost to complete. Due tothe estimates, judgment and complexity involved in theapplication of the revenue recognition accounting standards,we have considered this matter as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included:
As part of our audit, we understood the Company's policiesand processes, control mechanisms and methods inrelation to the revenue recognition and evaluated thedesign and operative effectiveness of the financial controlsfrom the above through our test of control procedures.
• Tested a sample of sales transactions for compliancewith the Company's accounting principles to assessthe completeness, occurrence and accuracy of revenuerecorded. Also, revenue is recognised when theCompany satisfies a performance obligation.
• Performing procedures to ensure that the revenuerecognition criteria adopted by Company for all majorrevenue streams is appropriate and in line with theCompany's accounting policies.
• We have focused on Management's judgment inapplying the methodology and the estimates made todetermine the amount of revenue to be recorded in theirproject calculations..

• We have examined contracts with exceptions includingcontracts with low or negative margins, loss makingcontracts, etc. to determine the level of provisioning.
• Our tests of detail focused on transactions occurringwithin proximity of the year end and obtaining evidenceto support the appropriate timing of revenue recognition,based on terms and conditions set out in sales contractsand delivery documents or system generated reports.We considered the appropriateness and accuracy ofany cut-off adjustments.
• We have tested the company's system generated reports,based on which revenue is accrued at the year end, andperformed tests of details on the accrued revenue andaccounts receivable balances recognized in the balancesheet at the year end.
• Traced disclosure information to accounting recordsand other supporting documentation.
Valuation of inventories:
(Refer to Note 12(a) to the standalone financial statements)
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizablevalue. As a result, the management applies judgment indetermining the appropriate provisions where net realizablevalue is below cost based upon future plans for sale ofinventory.
We have obtained assurance over the appropriateness of
the management's assumptions applied in valuation of
inventories and related provisions by:
• Performing walkthrough of the inventory valuationprocess and assessed the design and implementationof the key controls addressing the risk.
• Verifying the effectiveness of key inventory controlsoperating over inventories; including sample basedphysical verification. Reviewing the physical verificationworking papers conducted by the management.
• Comparing the net realizable value to the cost price ofinventories to check for completeness of the associatedprovision.
• Reviewing the historical accuracy of inventoryprovisioning and the level of inventory write-offs duringthe year.
Valuation and existence of Trade Receivables:
(Refer to Note 8(b) to the standalone financial statements).
As at March 31, 2025, trade receivables constitutesapproximately 22% of total assets of the Company. Tradereceivables are mainly comprised of receivables from centraland state government owned enterprises.
The majority of trade receivables originate from GovernmentProjects and subsidiaries, which are not exposed to high risk.The Company is making specific provisions based on case-to-case reviews and approved by Management. Whereas, forother customers, provision is determined using the expectedcredit loss model.
The provision matrix is based on its historically observeddefault rates over the expected life of trade receivables and isadjusted for forward looking estimates.
• Evaluated the Company's accounting policies pertainingto impairment of financial assets and assessedcompliance with those policies in terms of Ind AS 109- Financial Instruments.
• Assessed and tested the design and operatingeffectiveness of the Company's internal financialcontrols over provision for expected credit loss.
• Evaluated management's assumption and judgmentrelating to various parameters which included thehistorical default rates and business environment inwhich the entity operates for estimating the amount ofsuch provision.
• Evaluated management's assessment of recoverabilityof the outstanding receivables and recoverability ofthe overdue / aged receivables through inquiry withmanagement, and analysis of collection trends inrespect of receivables.
This is a key audit matter as significant judgement is involvedto establish the provision matrix. The trade receivablesbalance, credit terms and aging as well as the Company'spolicy on impairment of receivables have been disclosed inNote 8(b) to the standalone financial statements.

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures toBoard's Report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information,but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The annual report is expected tobe made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information, and we will not express any formof assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other informationidentified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistentwith the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materiallymisstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required tocommunicate the matter to those charged with governance and take appropriate action as applicable under the relevantlaws and regulations..
The Company's Management and 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 the financial position,financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company inaccordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of theAct for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selectionand application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; andthe design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of thestandalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole arefree 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 SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken 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 to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe company has adequate internal financial controls system in place with reference to standalone financial statementsand the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significantdoubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, ifsuch disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as agoing 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 thatachieves 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 statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing ofthe audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto 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 mostsignificance 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 orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
