(hereinafter referred to as âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31,
2025, 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 a summary of the significant accounting policies and other

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 accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its profit 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 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.
Other Information
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Companyâs annual report, but does not include the Standalone Financial
Statements and our auditorsâ report thereon.
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. 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 for The Standalone Financial Statements
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 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 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 Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are 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
Standalone 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 Board of Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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.
