We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Garuda Construction and
Engineering Limited (formerly known as Garuda Construction and Engineering Private Limited) (''the
Company''), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2026, the Statement of Profit and Loss
(including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of
Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including
material accounting policy information 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
(''the Act'') in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian
Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (''Ind AS''), and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2026, and its profit, total
comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows 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 specified under section 143(10) of the Act (''SAs''). 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 standalone financial statements under the provisions
of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence
obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, 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.

Information other than the 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 Company''s 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 and take appropriate action under the applicable laws
and regulations.

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 Ind AS 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 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 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 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.

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

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 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 the 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 management.

• 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 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 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 may
be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in planning the scope of our
audit work, evaluating the results of our work and evaluating 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 communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, actions
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

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.

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Garuda Construction and

Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and
the Statement of Cash Flow for the year then ended, and a summary of significant 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

2013 (the "Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2025, and its
profit, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows 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 specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibility 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 standalone financial statements under
the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence obtained by us 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 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. We have
determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our
report.

Information other than the 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 Annual report, but does not include the standalone
financial statements and our auditors'' 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 standalone 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 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 Ind AS 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 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 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 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.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting
process.

Auditor''s Responsibility 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 Standards of Auditing, 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 Companies
Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has
adequate internal financial controls system 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 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.

• 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 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.
