KEY AUDIT MATTERS

4. 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.

5. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our audit report.

Key audit matters

Revenue recognition

but was not limited to, the following procedures:

• Assessed the appropriateness of the accounting policy for
revenue recognition in accordance with Ind AS 115.

adopted by the management in accordance with Ind AS 36.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matters

Management has considered losses incurred by these
subsidiaries as an indicator for impairment assessment.
Considering the existence of the impairment indicators in
the current year, management has therefore performed
impairment assessment by determining the recoverable
amount of the investments in these subsidiaries using
the value in use method and comparing the same with
the carrying value. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized.

The management has determined the value in use
using the discounted cash flow method with the help of
management’s external valuation experts which required
management to make significant estimates, judgements
and assumptions relating to forecast of future revenue,
operating margins, growth rate and selection of the
discount rates.

Considering the materiality of the above matter to the
standalone financial statements, complexities and
judgement involved in the calculation of recoverable value
and significant auditor attention required to test such
management’s judgement, we have determined this as a
key audit matter for current year audit.

• Assessed the professional competence and objectivity of
the external valuation expert engaged by the management
for performing the required valuations to estimate the
recoverable value of the amounts receivable from the
subsidiaries;

• Involved auditors’ valuation experts for review of the
valuation methodology including appropriateness of
valuation assumptions used by the management’s expert
including independent assessment of certain assumptions
underlying the cash flow projections, discount rate, terminal
value etc;

• Traced the future cash flow projections to approved
business plans of the subsidiaries including step down
subsidiaries by their management and evaluated the
reasonableness of the inputs used in the projections
by comparing past projections with actual results, and
considering our understanding of the business and market
conditions, as relevant;

• Evaluated sensitivity analysis performed by the
management and further performed independent
sensitivity analysis on these key assumptions to determine
estimation uncertainty involved and impact on conclusions

• Evaluated the appropriateness and adequacy of disclosures
made in the standalone financial statements in accordance
with the applicable accounting standards.

INFORMATIONOTHERTHANTHESTANDALONEFINANCIAL

STATEMENTS AND AUDITOR'S REPORT THEREON

6. The Company’s 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 standalone financial statements and our
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 Annual Report, if we conclude
that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged
with governance.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE
CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7. The accompanying standalone financial statements
havebeenapprovedby the Company’s Board ofDirectors.
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for
the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with
respect to the preparation and presentation 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 Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act
and other accounting principles generally accepted in
India. 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 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 financial statements that give a true
and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.

8. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the
Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intends
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.

9. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing
the Company’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE

STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10. 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 Standards on
Auditing 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.

11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on
Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act
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 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 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; and

• 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

audit, we report that the Company has paid remuneration

h) With respect to the other matters to be included in

the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014
(as amended), in our opinion and to the best of

i. The Company, as detailed in note 36 to
the standalone financial statements, has
disclosed the impact of pending litigations
on its financial position as at 31 March 2025;

contracts including derivative contracts for

understanding, whether recorded in

or invest in other persons or entities
identified in any manner whatsoever
by or on behalf of the Funding Party
('Ultimate Beneficiaries’) or provide any
guarantee, security or the like on behalf
of the Ultimate Beneficiaries; and

c. Based on such audit procedures

account which has a feature of recording

audit trail feature in the accounting software
used for maintenance of accounting records
was not enabled up to 12 June 2024 and the
same did not operate throughout the year
for all relevant transactions recorded in the
software. During the course of our audit, we
