Considering the significance of aforesaid balances to the
overall financial statements, the large number of entities
and degree of judgement involved in assumptions used
for the computation of the recoverable amount, we have
considered impairment assessment of carrying value of
investments in and loans given to subsidiaries as a key
audit matter for the current year audit.

Information other than the Standalone Financial

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.

I n 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 have been approved by the
Company''s Board of Directors. 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 judgements 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 judgement and
maintain professional scepticism 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory

Requirements

15. As required by section 197(16) of the Act, based on
our audit, we report that the Company has paid
remuneration to its directors during the year in
accordance with the provisions of and limits laid
down under section 197 read with Schedule V to
the Act.

6. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report)
Order, 2020 (''the Order'') issued by the Central

the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of

(as amended)];

g) With respect to the adequacy of the internal
financial controls with reference to financial
statements of the Company as on 31^st March
2025 and the operating effectiveness of
such controls, refer to our separate report in
Annexure B wherein we have expressed an
unmodified opinion; and

h) With respect to the other matters to be
included in the Auditor''s Report in accordance
with rule 11 of the Companies (Audit and
Auditors) Rules, 2014 (as amended), in our
opinion and to the best of our information
and according to the explanations given

the standalone financial statements,
has disclosed the impact of pending
litigations on its financial position as at

in any person(s) or entity(ies), including
foreign entities (''the intermediaries''),
with the understanding, whether
recorded in writing or otherwise, that the

whatsoever by or on behalf of the

financial statements, no funds have
been received by the Company from any
person(s) or entity(ies), including foreign
entities (''the Funding Parties''), with the
understanding, whether recorded in
writing or otherwise, that the Company
shall, whether directly or indirectly, lend
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

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 (‘ICAI'') 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.

5. The accompanying standalone financial statements have been approved by the Company''s Board of Directors. 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.

8. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.

9. 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 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

10. 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

11. Based on our audit, we report that the provisions of section 197 read with Schedule V to the Act are not applicable to the Company since the Company is not a public company as defined under section 2(71) of the Act as of 31 March 2024. Accordingly, reporting under section 197(16) is not applicable.

12. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2020 (''the Order'') issued by the Central Government of India in terms of section 143(11) of the Act we give in the Annexure A a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.
