INDEPENDENT AUDITORâS REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF ELPRO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

Companyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2023, 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 ended on that date, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information
(hereinafter referred to as âthe standalone financial statementsâ).
2. 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 (âthe Actâ) 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,
(âInd ASâ) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as
at March 31,2023, and total comprehensive income (comprising of the profit and other comprehensive income),
changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
3. 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 Auditorâs 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 independence 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 ICAIâs Code of Ethics.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
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, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters. There are no matters determined to be the key audit matters to be communicated in
our report.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
5. The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Boardâs Report including
Annexures to Boardâs Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholderâs
Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditorâs 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 the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone 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 not come across any material misstatement.
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, total 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.
7. In preparing the standalone financial statements, management 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 management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations,
or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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 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.
9. 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 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 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 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.
⢠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 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.
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 period 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.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
13. As required by the Companies (Auditorâs Report) Order, 2020(âthe Orderâ) issued by the Central Government in
terms of Section 143(11) of the Act, we give in âAnnexure Iâ a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs

Managementâs Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act., read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence, on a test basis, about the amounts and disclosures in the Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

ANNEXURE II TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORâS REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ELPRO INTERNATIONAL LIMTED AS ON 31st MARCH 2018
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
To the Members of Elpro International Limited
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Elpro International Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting
to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

ANNEXURE II TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORâS REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ELPRO INTERNATIONAL LIMTED AS ON 31st MARCH 2017
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
To the Members of Elpro International Limited
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Elpro International Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31,2017 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2017, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
