state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its
profit including other comprehensive 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
(SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the 'Auditor’s Responsibilities 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 together with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under
the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we
have fulfilled 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 for our audit opinion on the
standalone financial statements.

EMPHASIS OF MATTER

We draw attention to Note 50 to the accompanying financial
statements in connection with certain ongoing legal
proceedings related to real estate project and income tax
search matters. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this
matter.

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 for the financial year ended
March 31, 2025. 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. For each
matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the
matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the
key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We
have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial
statements section of our report, including in relation to these
matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial
statements. The results of our audit procedures, including
the procedures performed to address the matters below,
provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
standalone financial statements.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue recognition from Contract with Customers (as described in note 4.2, 35 and 56 of the standalone financial
statements)

In accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 115, Company’s
revenue from sale of real estate inventory property (other than
projects executed through joint development arrangements
described below), is recognised at a point in time, which is
upon the Company satisfying its performance obligation and
the customer obtaining control of the promised asset.

Our audit procedures included, among others, the following:

• We read the accounting policy for revenue recognition of
the Company and assessed compliance of the policy in
terms of principles enunciated under Ind AS 115.

• We, on a sample basis inspected the underlying customer
contracts and assessed the management evaluation of
determining revenue recognition from sale of real estate
inventory property at a point in time in accordance with
the requirements under Ind AS 115.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Assessing the recoverability of carrying value of Inventory (as described in note 4.14 and 16 of the standalone financial
statements)

As at March 31,2025, the carrying value of inventory comprising
of Work in progress and Stock of units in completed projects
is
' 74,727 million. The inventory is valued at the lower of the
cost and net recognized value ("NRV"). The determination
of the NRV involves estimates based on prevailing market
conditions and taking into account the estimated future selling
price, cost to complete projects and selling costs.

We identified the assessment of the carrying value of inventory
as a key audit matter due to the significance of the balance
to the standalone financial statements as a whole and the
involvement of estimates and judgement in the assessment.

Our audit procedures included, among others, the following:

• We evaluated the design and operation of internal controls
related to testing recoverable amounts with carrying
amount of inventory, including evaluating management
processes for estimating future costs to complete
projects.

• We assessed the Company’s methodology based on
current economic and market conditions, applied in
assessing the carrying value.

• We obtained and tested the computation involved in
assessment of carrying value including the NRV.

• We made inquiries with management to understand key
assumptions used in determination of the NRV.

• We compared the total projected budgeted cost to the
total budgeted sale value from the project.

• We compared the NRV to recent sales in the project or to
the estimated selling price, applied in assessing the NRV.

• We compared the NRV to the carrying value in books.

Assessing the recoverability of carrying value of Investments and loans and advances made by the Company in subsidiaries,
joint ventures and associate (as described in note 4.16, 11, 12 and 21 of the standalone financial statements)

As at March 31, 2025, the carrying values of Company’s
investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associate
amounted to
' 39,793 million. Further, the Company has
granted loans and advances to its subsidiaries, joint ventures
and associate amounting to
' 80,243 million as at March 31,
2025.

Our audit procedures included, among others, the following:

• We read and evaluated the accounting policies with
respect to investments and loans and advances.

• We examined the management assessment in
determining whether any impairment indicators exist.

Management reviews regularly whether there are any
indicators of impairment of the investments and loans and
advances by reference to the requirements under Ind AS.

• We assessed the Company’s methodology applied
in assessing the carrying value under the relevant
accounting standards.

For cases where impairment indicators exist, management
estimated the recoverable amounts of the investments, being
higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.
Significant judgements are required to determine the key
assumptions used in determination of fair value/ value in use.

We focused our effort on those cases with impairment
indicators. As the impairment assessment involves significant
assumptions and judgement, we regard this as a key audit
matter.

• We assessed the Company’s valuation methodology and
assumptions based on current economic and market
conditions, applied in determining the recoverable/
realisable amount.

• We compared the recoverable/ realisable amount of the
investment and loans and advances to the carrying value
in books.

• We read the most recent audited financial statements
of component entities and performed inquiries with
management on the project status and future business
plan of component entities.

• We assessed the disclosures made in the standalone
financial statements regarding such investments and
loans and advances.

OTHER INFORMATION

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for
the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Annual report, but does
not include the standalone financial statements and our
auditor’s report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be
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 do not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon.

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

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE
CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE 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 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
the Act for safeguarding of 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 the 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 standalone 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 is 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 management

either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are also responsible for
overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES 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:

• Identify 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 control 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 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 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 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.

• For the partnership entities included in the standalone
financial statements, which have been audited by other
auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the audits
carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for
our audit opinion.

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 control 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 for the financial year ended March 31, 2025
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.

OTHER MATTER

We did not audit the financial statements and other
financial information as regards Company’s net share
in profits of partnership firm/ limited liability partnership

entities (post tax) amounting to ' 1,619 million for the year
ended March 31, 2025, as considered in these standalone
financial statements, in respect of 30 entities. These
financial statements and other financial information of the
said partnership firm/ limited liability partnership entities
have been audited by other auditors, Our opinion on the
standalone financial statements, in so far as it relates to
the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these
partnership firm/ limited liability partnership entities and our
report in terms of sub-sections (3) of Section 143 of the Act,
in so far as it relates to the these partnership firm/ limited
liability partnership entities, is based solely on the reports of
such other auditors. Our opinion is not modified in respect
of this matter.
