BASIS FOR OPINION

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 standalone 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 we have
obtained together with audit evidence obtained by
the other auditor, in terms of their report referred to
in paragraph 15 of the Other matter section below
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.

KEY AUDIT MATTER

4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in
our professional judgment, and based on the
consideration of the report of the other auditor
as referred to paragraph 15 below 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 matter described below
to be the key audit matter to be communicated in
our report.

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.

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
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 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;

• 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; and

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence
regarding the business activities and financial
statements of the Company to express an opinion
on the standalone financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and
performance of the audit of financial statements
of the Company of which we are the independent
auditors. For the Trust, included in the standalone
financial statements, which have been audited
by the other auditor, such other auditor remain
responsible for the direction, supervision and
performance of the audits carried out by them.
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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.

OTHER MATTER

15. We did not audit the financial statements of the Trust
included in the standalone financial statements of
the Company whose financial statements reflects
total assets of ? 66.74 millions as at 31 March 2026,
and the total revenues of ? 0.31 millions and net
cash inflows of ? 2.75 millions for the year ended
on that date. These financial statements have been
audited by the other auditor whose report has been
furnished to us by the management, and our opinion

it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in
respect of this trust and our report in terms of sub¬
section (3) of section 143 of the Act in so far as it
relates to the aforesaid Trust, is based solely on the

of the Trust have been prepared in conformity with
the Accounting Standards specified under Section
133 of the Act read with the Companies (Accounting

statements of the Trust from IGAAP to accounting
principles enunciated under Ind AS specified under
Section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India. We have audited these
conversion adjustments made by the Company''s

statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and
disclosures included in respect of such Trust, is based
on the reports of other auditor and the conversion
adjustments prepared by the management of the
Company and audited by us.

Our opinion above on the standalone financial

respect of the above matters with respect to our

reliance on the work done by and the reports of the
other auditor.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

KEY AUDIT MATTER

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 matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 ("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2024, and its profit and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and its 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 under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs 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 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 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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matter(s)

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.

Other Information

The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company''s annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor''s report thereon. The Company''s 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 Company''s audit 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 necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

Management''s and Board of Directors''/Board of Trustees'' Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are 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

state of affairs, profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies/Board of Trustees of the ESOP Trust are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company/ ESOP trust 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, the respective Management and Board of Directors/Board of Trustees are responsible for assessing the ability of company/ ESOP trust to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors/Board of Trustees either intends to liquidate the Company/ ESOP trust or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors/Board of Trustees are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company/ ESOP trust.

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 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 the Management and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements 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.

Other Matter(s)

The financial information of ESOP trust, whose financial information reflect total assets (before consolidation adjustments) of ''41.33 million as at 31 March 2024, total revenues (before consolidation adjustments) of ''0.00 million and net cash inflows (before consolidation adjustments) amounting to ''0.07 million for the year ended on that date, as considered in the standalone financial statements, has not been audited either by us or by other auditors. This unaudited financial information has been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the standalone financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the ESOP trust, and our report in terms of sub-section

(3) of Section 143 of the Act in so far as it relates to the aforesaid ESOP trust, is based solely on such unaudited financial information. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the Management, this financial information is not material to the Company.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
