We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (hereinafter referred as "SAs") 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 thestandalone financial statements" section of our report.

This proposedarrangement scheme is subject to all applicable statutory and regulatory approvals, including approval from the stock exchanges,SEBI, shareholders and creditors of the Company and the jurisdictional bench of the NCLT.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter of emphasis.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalonefinancial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financialstatements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We havedetermined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information. The otherinformation comprises the Board's report and management discussion and analysis included in the annual report but does notinclude the 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 ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identifiedabove and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financialstatements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, basedon the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are requiredto report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are 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, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, including the Ind AS. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detectingfrauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimatesthat are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, thatwere operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparationand 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, Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessingthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or hasno realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detecta material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughoutthe audit. We also:
A. 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.
B. 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 whether theCompany has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt onthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
E. 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, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may beinfluenced. We consider quantitative 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 misstatements in the standalone financialstatements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit 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 requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought tobear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters, if any, that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe 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 adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
