and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone
statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash
flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial

explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the

(âActâ) 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 2025, and its
loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its
cash flows for the year ended on that date.
See Note 2.9 and Note 23 to standalone financial statements
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 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 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 obtained by
us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on
the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matter
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.

The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible
for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Companyâs annual report, but does not
include the financial statements and auditorâs report(s) 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 in
the 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.
Managementâs and Board of Directorsâ Responsibilities for the
Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs 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, loss 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. 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
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 Management
and Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative
but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the
Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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 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.
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 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.
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.
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 the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the standalone financial statements of Nureca Limited (the "Company") which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2024, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including 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 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 loss and other comprehensive income, 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.

Revenue Recognition
See Note 2.9 and Note 22 to standalone financial statements
|
The key audit matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when control in goods is transferred to the customer and is measured net of rebates, discounts and returns. We have identified recognition of revenue as a key audit matter as- ⢠revenue is a key performance indicator; and ⢠there is a risk that revenue may be overstated because of fraud, resulting due to the pressures to achieve performance targets as well as meeting external expectations which makes it susceptible to misstatement. |
In view of the significance of the matter we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence: ⢠We assessed the appropriateness of the revenue recognition accounting policies against the requirement of Ind AS 115 i.e. Revenue from contracts with customers. ⢠We evaluated the design and implementation of key internal financial controls in relation to revenue recognition and tested the operating effectiveness of such manual controls for a sample of transactions; ⢠We performed testing by selecting statistical samples of revenue transactions recorded during the financial year. For such samples, verified the underlying documents, including invoices, customer acceptances/delivery documents (as applicable) to assess whether these are recognized in the appropriate period in which control is transferred. |
|
The key audit matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
⢠We tested, on a sample basis (selected based on specified risk-based criteria), specific revenue transactions recorded before and after the financial year end date to determine whether the revenue had been recognized in the appropriate financial period. |
|
|
⢠We tested journal entries for revenue, selected based on specified risk-based criteria to identify unusual items. |

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 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.
Description of Key Audit Matter
|
The key audit matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Revenue recognition - fraud risk Refer to note 2.3.7 and 21 to the standalone financial statements |
In view of the significance of the matter we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient audit evidence: |
|
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when control in goods is transferred to the customer and is measured net of rebates, discounts and returns. There is presumed fraud risk as per Standards on Auditing with regard to revenue recognition. We focussed on this area since there is a risk that revenue may be overstated because of fraud, resulting from the pressure, the Board of Directors may feel to achieve performance targets. Also, revenue is a key performance indicator for the Company which makes it susceptible to misstatement because the timing of revenue recognition requires exercise of judgement. In view of the above, we have identified risk of fraud in revenue recognition as a key audit matter. |
⢠We assessed the appropriateness of the accounting policies in respect of revenue recognition with reference to the applicable accounting standards. ⢠We evaluated the design and implementation of key internal financial controls in relation to revenue recognition and tested the operating effectiveness of such controls for a sample of transactions selected using random sampling. ⢠We performed testing by selecting samples (using statistical sampling) of revenue transactions recorded during the year. For such samples, verified the underlying documents, including invoices, purchase orders and customer acceptances, to assess whether revenue is recognised in the appropriate period in which control is transferred. ⢠We performed analytical procedures on revenue recognised during the year to identify any unusual variances. ⢠We tested, on a sample basis (selected based on specified risk-based criteria), specific revenue transactions recorded before and after the financial year end date to determine whether the revenue had been recognised in the appropriate reporting period. ⢠We tested sample manual journal entries for revenue, selected based on specified risk-based criteria to identify unusual items. ⢠We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures made in accordance with the relevant accounting standard. |
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 our auditors'' 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 in the 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.
5. Management''s and Board of Directors'' Responsibility 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/loss 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. 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 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 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 intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
6. 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 in the standalone financial statements 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 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 auditors'' 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.
