INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF WHIRLPOOL OF INDIA LIMITED

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Whirlpool of India Limited ("the Company"),
which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement
of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year
then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the
Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, 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.

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 31,2023. 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.

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 Annual report but does not include 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 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. If, 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 Those charged 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 Board of Directors and 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.

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,
2023 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

those statements on May 25, 2022.
