We have audited the standalone financial statements
of Emami Limited ("the Company"), which comprise
the Balance sheet as at March 31 2026, 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 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, 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, 2026, its profit including other
comprehensive loss, 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, 2026. 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.

Other Information

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Management Discussion and
Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's
Report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability
Report and Report on Corporate Governance, 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 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 loss, 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 and Board of Directors are 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 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, 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.
