Auditor Report of Vikram Solar Ltd.

Mar 31, 2025

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of
Vikram Solar Limited ("the Company"), which
comprise the Balance sheet as at 31 March 2025, the Statement of
Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive
Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes
in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone
financial statements, including a summary of 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 financial
statements give the information required by the Companies Act,
2013, as amended ("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 31 March 2025, its profit including 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 standalone financial statements
in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified
under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those
Standards 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 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 audit opinion on the standalone
financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the following notes of the Standalone
Financial Statements:

(i) Note 57 regarding payment of safeguard duty amounting to
H 1485.20 million which has been considered as receivable
in the financial statements since the matter is subjudice
and based on legal opinion obtained by the Company, the
Company has an arguable case on merits, as more fully
described therein. Necessary adjustments in the financials
will be made based upon the legal outcome of the matter.

(ii) Note 58 regarding amount of H 843.88 million (included in
Trade Receivables in the Financial Statements) which has
been withheld/recovered by certain customers related
to EPC and other contracts on account of Liquidated
damages, generation loss etc. which the Company has
not acknowledged and the matter has been referred to
Dispute resolution/ Arbitration/court as per the terms
of the respective contracts. The management is hopeful
of resolution of the matter in favour of the Company and
necessary adjustments in the financial will be made based
upon the outcome of the proceedings.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters.

Other Information

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual report, but does not include the standalone
financial statements and our auditor''s 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 such other information is
materially inconsistent with the 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 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 standalone 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 the Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read
with [the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015,
as amended. 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

the 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, management
is 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 management 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
Company''s financial reporting process.

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 made by 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 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 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 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.
