31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss, Statement of changes in equity, and Statement of Cash

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us,

in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting

India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, and Loss, changes in equity and
its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

We draw attention to the matters described in the “Basis for Qualified Opinion” paragraph of the
audit report on Standalone Financial Statements of the company audited by us. These matters in so
far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the company are included in
“Annexure-1 "which forms an integral part of our report the effects of which are not ascertainable
on the financial statements that constituted the basis for modifying our opinion. Our opinion on the
Standalone Financial Statements is qualified in respect of the matters referred to in “Annexure-1” to
this report, to the extent applicable.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
Section 143 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 Companies Act, 2013 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 sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

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 year. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters except for the matters described in basis
for qualified opinion section.

Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 (“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, changes in
equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards 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 the 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 financial statement that gives a true and fair view and are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the 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:

a) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statement 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.

b) 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
Companies Act, 2013, 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.

c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness, of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.

d) 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.

e) 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 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.

Information other than the financial statements and Auditors’ report thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Board’s Report (including annexures thereto), Management Discussion and Analysis
and Report on Corporate Governance (collectively referred to as 'other information') but does not
include the standalone 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 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.
