We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements. Our opinion is notqualified in respect of any matters.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year endedMarch 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalonefinancial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide aseparate opinion on these matters.

The Board's report isexpected 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 andwe do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is toread the other information and, in doing so, consider whether such other information ismaterially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit orotherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Board's report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein,we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and takeappropriate action as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated inSection 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of thesestandalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance (including Other Comprehensive Income), cash flows and changes in equity of theCompany in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India includingthe Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act read withCompanies (Indian Accounting standards) Rules. 2015, as amended.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to doso. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, and to issue an auditor's report 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 misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise and are considered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
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 oneresulting 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 auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we arealso responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectivenessof such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates 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 toevents or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statementsrepresent 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 decision of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statement may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatementsin the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships 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 thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements forthe financial year ended March 31,2025 and arc therefore the key audit matters. we describethese matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure aboutthe matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
