We have audited the standalone financial statements of Force Motors
Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the standalone balance sheet
as at March 31,2026, the standalone statement of profit & loss (including
other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity
and the standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended,
notes to the standalone financial statements including material accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as
“the standalone financial statements”).

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 (“the Act”) 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, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted

in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2026, the
profit and total comprehensive Income, changes in equity and its cash
flows 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) 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 (ICAI) 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 made
thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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

Key audit matters are those matters that in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Sr. No.

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

1.

Contingent Liability

The Company has duties and taxes litigations that are pending with
various tax authorities. Whether a liability is recognised or disclosed
as a contingent liability in the financial statements is inherently
judgmental and dependent on assumptions and assessments.
We placed specific focus on the judgements in respect to these
demands against the Company. Determining the amount, if any, to
be recognised or disclosed in the financial statements, is inherently
subjective. Therefore, it is considered to be a key audit matter.

(Refer Note 31(a) to standalone financial statements)

Our procedures included, but were not limited to, the following:

• Obtained an understanding from the management with respect to
process and controls followed by the Company for identification
and monitoring of significant developments in relation to the
litigations, including completeness thereof.

• Obtained the list of litigations from the management and reviewed
their assessment of the likelihood of outflow of economic resources
being probable, possible or remote in respect of the litigations.

• Assessed management's discussions held with their legal
consultants and understanding precedents in similar cases;

2

Intangible assets

Product development costs are incurred on new vehicle platforms;
engines are recognised as intangible assets only when technical
feasibility has been established. The costs capitalised during
the year include technical know-how expenses, materials, direct
Labour, inspecting and testing charges, designing and other
direct expenses incurred on respective projects, up to the date
the intangible asset is capitalised. The capitalisation of product
development cost is considered to be a key audit matter given that
the assessment of the capitalisation criteria set out in Ind AS 38
Intangible Assets is made at an early stage of product development
and there are inherent challenges with accurately predicting the
future economic benefit, which must be assessed as probable for
capitalisation to commence.

(Refer Note 2{f} and Note 5 of the standalone financial statements)

Our audit approach consisted of evaluation of design and implementation
of controls, and testing the operating effectiveness around initiation of
capitalisation of the product development cost including management's
validation of relevant data elements and benchmarking the assumptions;

The audit procedures included:

• Obtained the list of approved project wise details and verify the
completeness and accuracy of cost data with respect to various
system generated reports.

• 1 nspected the respective approvals for initiation of capitalisation
including government approvals where applicable;

• Reviewed the cost allocation for the year and determined that
costs capitalised are directly attributable.

Sr. No.

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

• Tested on sample basis costs incurred towards projects i.e. in
respect of manpower cost, we verified hours booked on respective
projects, hourly rates for respective persons and sample vouchers
/ invoices for directly attributable expenses.

• We reviewed judgments used by the Management for expected
probable economic benefits and associated expenditures, and their
assessment of feasibility of the projects, including appropriateness
of past / present useful life applied in calculation of amortisation.

• After carrying out above audit procedures, we concluded that
relevant criteria for capitalisation have been met.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITOR'S REPORT
THEREON

The Company's Management and Board of Directors is responsible for
the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the annual report but does not include the
financial statements and the auditor's report thereon. The annual report
is expected to be made available to us after the date of this audit report.

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.

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material
misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those
charged with governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under
the relevant laws and regulations.

MANAGEMENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STANDALONE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company's Management and 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 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, management and the
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
management or the Board of directors either intends to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to
do so.

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 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 an 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 and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's 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 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone
financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, make it probable
that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of
the standalone 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 standalone
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
standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore
the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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.
