We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS
Financial Statements of Harsha Engineers International
Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet
as at March 31,2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss and
the Cash Flow Statement, Statement of changes in Equity
for the year then ended and a summary of the 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 aforesaid
standalone Ind AS 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in India of the state of affairs of the Company as
at March 31, 2025, its profit, total comprehensive income,
changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on
that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards on
auditing specified under section 143 (10) of the Companies
Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards
are further described in the auditorâs responsibilities
for the audit of the Ind AS 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 Ind AS
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.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
Ind AS Financial Statements of the current period. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
Ind AS Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters.
The Companyâs board of directors is responsible for the
preparation of the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Boardâs
Report including Annexures to Boardâs Report, Business
Responsibility and Sustainability Report but does not
include the Ind AS Financial Statements and our auditorâs
report thereon.
Our opinion on the Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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
Ind AS 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.
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act,
2013 ("the Act") 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, statement of changes
in equity 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, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2016, as amended. 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
Ind AS Financial Statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS 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 also responsible for overseeing
the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the Ind AS 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 Ind AS
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 Ind AS
Financial Statement, 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 procedure
that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section
143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing
our opinion 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 the 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the Ind AS Financial Statements represent
the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
standalone Ind AS Financial Statements that, individually
or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic
decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the
standalone Ind AS 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 works; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any
identified misstatements in the standalone Ind AS 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 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 Ind AS Financial Statements
of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditorsâ report unless law
or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter
or when, in extremely rare circumstance, we determine that
a matter should not be communicate in our report because
the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.

access rights to the SAP application

the database and the audit trail has been
preserved by the Company as per the
statutory requirements for record retention.

MANAGEMENT''S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STANDALONE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: -
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") 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, statement of changes in equity 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, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2016, as amended. 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 Ind AS Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS 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 also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
AUDITOR''S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AUDIT OF THE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: -
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statement, 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 procedure that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion 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 the 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Ind AS Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone Ind AS Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone Ind AS 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 works; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone Ind AS 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 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 Ind AS Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorsâ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstance, we determine that a matter should not be communicate in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
