We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of TCM Limited (‘Company’),
which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2025, and the standalone statement of
profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and
the 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 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 (‘Act’) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view, in conformity with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under
section 133 of the Act, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2025, and its profit, 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 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 ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit
of the standalone financial statements in terms of the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (‘ICAI’) and the relevant 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

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.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

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 standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.The annual report is to be made
available to us after the date of the auditor’s report. 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 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 other information identified above, 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors for the Standalone Financial Statements

The accompanying standalone financial statements have been approved by the Company’s Board of
Directors. 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 and presentation of these standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position and financial performance
of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including
the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed 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 ofthe accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation ofthe 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 Board of
Directors either intend 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.

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 Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in 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 Standards on Auditing, 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 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; and

• 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 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 information.
