We have audited the standalone financial statements of
Tata Motors Limited (the "Company"), its joint operation
(including its subsidiary company) and its Trust which
comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2025,
and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including
other comprehensive income), standalone statement of
changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for
the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including material 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 ("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 31 March 2025, and its profit and other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows
for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those SAs 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 standalone 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 opinion on the
standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements of the current period. 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.

Provision for Warranty

See Note 27 to standalone financial statements

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Company incurs a liability for warranty contracts
on new vehicle sales, in terms of which it is obligated to
provide repair services for manufacturing defects over the
contractual warranty period. As detailed in note 27 of the
standalone financial statements, as at 31 March 2025, the
Company has warranty provisions of Rs. 2,291 crores.

The Company records a warranty provision at period end
which involves complexity, judgement and significant level
of uncertainty. The computation of the provision considers
the historical actual claims data and the recent data trends
to estimate the expected payouts for vehicles sold in
respective years. Such expected payouts are adjusted for
any cost savings expected from various ongoing quality
initiatives. There is an inherent uncertainty related to
future events which may not mirror past experience. The
likelihood of risk of material misstatement has further
increased due to increasing warranty spend in the year
which has diverged from provision levels.

In view of the significance of the matter we applied the following
audit procedures in this area

Test of Controls:

Evaluated the design and implementation and tested the
operating effectiveness of controls related to computation and
approval of the warranty provisions. This includes evaluation of
assumptions and information related to expected warranty cost
per vehicle and future events related to expected cost savings
underlying the warranty provision computation.

Test of details:

• Evaluated any changes made to the provision policy and
computation model;

• Assessed and challenged the assumptions and recomputed
the inputs used in warranty provision computation;

• Identified and tested the completeness and accuracy
of underlying information used in computation of

provision with the assistance of our Information
technology specialists;

and

statistical sampling;

• Performed retrospective assessment of provision by
comparing estimated and actual payments against
warranty claims; and

• Evaluated the adequacy of disclosures relating to the
estimation of Product warranty provisions.

Other Information

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the annual report,
but does not include the financial statements and 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 will 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
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.

When we read the annnual report, if we conclude that
there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance
and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant
laws and regulations.

Management's and Board of Directors' and
Board of Trustees' Responsibilities for the
Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are
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 state of affairs,
profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, changes in
equity and cash flows 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. The respective Management and Board
of Directors of the Company and its joint operation company
(including its subsidiary company) and Board of Trustees
of the Trust are responsible for maintenance of adequate

accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the
Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company, its joint
operation (including its subsidiary company) and its Trust 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 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, the
respective Management and Board of Directors/Board of
Trustees are responsible for assessing the ability of each
company/Trust to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board
of Directors/Board of Trustees either intends to liquidate the
company/Trust or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors/Board of Trustees are
responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of
each company/Trust.

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 the Management and
Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management
and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis
of accounting in preparation of standalone financial
statements 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 standalone 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 of the
Company and such other entities included in the standalone
financial statements of which we are the independent
auditors 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
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 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.
