We have audited the accompanying financial statements
of SKF India (Industrial) Limited (the “Company”), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2026,
and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and
the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended on
that date, and notes to the financial statements, including
a summary of material 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 aforesaid
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, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company
as at 31 March 2026, its profit and other comprehensive
income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the
year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA”s) specified
under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under
those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s
Responsibility for the Audit of the 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 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
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 financial statements of the current period. We
have determined that there are no key audit matters to
communicate 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 information included in the Board''s
Report including annexures to Board''s Report, the
Management''s Discussions & Analysis and the Report
on Corporate Governance but does not include the
financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.

• Our opinion on the 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 financial statements,
our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the financial statements
or our knowledge obtained during the course of our
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 and Board of Directors
for the 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 financial statements that give
a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income, cash
flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including Ind AS 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 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.

In preparing the financial statements, management
and Board of Directors are 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 intend to liquidate the Company
or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but
to do so.

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

Auditor''s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial
Statements

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
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 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 financial controls
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.

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

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
financial statements that, individually or in aggregate,
makes it probable that the economic decisions of a
reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements
may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality
and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit
work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to
evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the
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 financial controls
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.
