In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial

in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,
2025 its Profit and 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 undersection 143(10) of the Companies
Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the "Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results" 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 obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the annual standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31,
2025. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a
true and fair view of the Profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information in accordance with the
applicable accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued there under and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations, 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 Statement that
give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing Statement, the 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 the
Board of Directors 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 Results
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 based on this Statement.
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 Statement, 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 financial
results, 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 Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' 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 ability of the Company 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 Statement 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 Group and of its Joint Venture to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether
the financial results 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on
the financial statements.
