OTHER INFORMATION
5. The Companyâs 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 auditorâs report
thereon. The annual report is expected to be
made available to us after the date of auditorâs
report.
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 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 as applicable under the relevant laws and
regulations.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND
THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE
FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
6. The Companyâs 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, changes in equity and cash flows of
the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including
the Indian Accounting Standards specified under
Section 133 of the Act. 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.
7. In preparing the standalone financial statements,
Board of Directors is responsible for assessing
the Companyâs ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless Board of Directors
either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative
but to do so.
8. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for
overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting
process.
AUDITORâS RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE
AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
9. 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 auditorâs 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.
10. 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 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
managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as
a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditorâs 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
auditorâs 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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 year and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our
auditorâs 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.
14. The financial statements of 2 jointly controlled
entities (refer Note 55 to the standalone financial
statements) included in the standalone financial
statements of the Company reflect total assets of
^ 6,712 Lakh and net assets of ^ (1,634) Lakh
as at March 31, 2026, total revenue of ^ 317
Lakh, total comprehensive loss (comprising of
profit and other comprehensive income) of ^
54 Lakh and net cash outflows amounting to ^
50 Lakh for the year then ended. These financial
statements and other financial information have
been audited by other auditors whose reports
have been furnished to us by the management,
and our opinion on the standalone financial
statements (including other information) in so
far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures
included in respect of these jointly controlled
entities, is based on the reports of such other
auditors and the procedures performed by us.
Our opinion on the standalone financial
statements and our report on Other Legal and
Regulatory Requirements below, is not modified
in respect of the above matter of our reliance on
the work done and reports of the other auditors.

(g) With respect to the adequacy of the
internal financial controls with reference
to standalone financial statements of the
Company and the operating effectiveness of

advanced or loaned or invested
(either from borrowed funds

sources or kind of funds) by
the Company to or in any other

OTHER INFORMATION
5. 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 auditor''s report thereon. The
annual report is expected to be made available to us
after the date of auditor''s report.
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 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 as
applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND
THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR
THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
6. 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, changes
in equity and cash flows of the Company and its
jointly controlled entities in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Indian Accounting Standards specified
under Section 133 of the Act. 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
its jointly controlled entities 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.
7. In preparing the standalone financial statements,
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 Board of Directors either intends
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.
8. 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
9. 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 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.
10. 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 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 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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 year
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.

OTHER INFORMATION
5. 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 auditor''s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of auditor''s report.
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 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 as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
6. 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, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company and its jointly controlled entities in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. 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 its jointly controlled entities 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.
7. 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 RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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.
9. 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 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 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.
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.
11. 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.
12. 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 year 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 did not audit the financial statements of three jointly controlled entities (refer Note 54 to the standalone financial statements) included in the standalone financial statements of the Company, which constitute total assets of '' 1,525 Lakhs and net assets of '' 168 Lakhs as at March 31, 2024, total revenue of '' 183 Lakhs, total comprehensive loss (comprising of loss and other comprehensive income) of '' 83 Lakhs and net cash outflow amounting to '' 25 Lakhs for the year then ended.

5. 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 financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of auditor''s report.
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 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 as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
6. 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, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company and its jointly controlled entities in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. 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 its jointly controlled entities 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.
7. 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 RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
8. 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.
9. 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 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 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 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.
11. 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.
12. 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 year 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.
13. We did not audit the financial statements of 3 jointly controlled entities included in the standalone financial statements of the Company, which constitute total assets of 7 13,140 Lakhs and net assets of 7 7,865 Lakhs as at March 31, 2023, total revenue of 7 873 Lakhs, total net profit after tax of 7 51 Lakhs, total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income) of 7 51 Lakhs and cash outflows (net) amounting to 7 18 Lakhs for the year then ended. These financial statements and other financial information have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management, and our opinion on the standalone financial statements (including other information) in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these jointly controlled entities, is based solely on the reports of such other auditors.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
