in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with Indian Accounting Standard prescribed

AS") and the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31
March 2026, the profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing

described in the 'Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone financial statements' section of our

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 43(B) to the standalone financial statements regarding a matter relating to demand of
? 21,370 crores (including interest and penalty computed till November 30, 2021) on the Company by Department
of Telecommunications (DoT) towards Very Small Aperture Terminal ('VSAT') and Internet Service Provider ('ISP')
Licenses fee relating to earlier years. Based on the legal assessment in consultation with Senior Advocates of the
said demand, the Company is of the view that no provision is required to be made at this point of time in respect of
the above matter.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.

Key Audit Matters

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.

Information Other than the Standalone 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 Board's report (i.e. Directors' Report, Corporate Governance, Management Discussion
and Analysis and Shareholder's information), but does not include the standalone financial statements and our
auditor's report thereon. The above referred information 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
standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.

When we read the Other Information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matter to those charged with governance as required under SA 720 (Revised) 'The Auditor's
responsibilities Relating to Other Information'.

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, 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 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015, as amended including the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2020. 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, the 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.

The Board of Directors 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 these
standalone 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.

» 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone
financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning
the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified
misstatements in the standalone financial statements.

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 31,2026
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.
