and give a true and fair view in conformity with
the accounting principles generally accepted in

Basis for Opinion

3. 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 is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion

Key Audit Matters

4. 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, we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters. We have
determined the matters described below to
be the key audit matters to be communicated
in our report

Valuation of Investments and Assessment of Carrying Cost

Key Audit Matter Description

How the Matter was Addressed in the Audit

Investments constitute the most significant asset on
the Balance Sheet, the net carrying value of total
investments stood at Rs.6,90,763.51 lakhs,
representing approximately 99.5% of the Company's
total assets of Rs. 6,94,363.85 lakhs.

The investment portfolio comprises:

• Quoted equity shares at FVTPL and FVOCI -
principally Asian Paints Limited (2,83,13,860
shares; carrying value Rs. 6,13,051.70 lakhs).

Our Audit Procedures Included:

1. Understanding and Evaluating Controls

We obtained an understanding of the
Company's processes and internal controls over
recording, valuation and disclosure of
investments. We tested the design and
operating effectiveness of key controls
including authorization of transactions, period-
end fair valuation procedures, and review

Valuation of Investments and Assessment of Carrying Cost

Key Audit Matter Description

How the Matter was Addressed in the Audit

• Unquoted equity, CCPs and corporate bonds
at FVOCI.

• Mutual Fund units (direct and regular plans)
across debt, equity and hybrid categories at
FVTPL.

• Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) at FVTPL.

• Investments in subsidiary companies carried
out at cost (amortised cost basis).

Why It Is a Key Audit Matter

The determination of fair values for Level 2 and Level
3 instruments (unquoted equity, CCPs, AIFs, corporate
bonds) and the assessment of carrying cost of
subsidiaries involves significant management
judgment.

The key risks are:

i) fair values of unquoted/Level 3 instruments;

ii) carrying cost of subsidiaries may not be
recoverable;

iii) portfolio movements may not be accurately
captured; and

iv) disclosures under Ind AS 107 and Ind AS 113 may
be incomplete.

Accordingly, we determined investment valuation and
carrying cost assessment to be the most significant
Key Audit Matter for the year ended 31st March 2026.

processes over AIF and unquoted investment
valuations.

2. Quoted Equity Shares - Fair Value Verification

We independently verified closing market prices
as at 31st March 2026 from Consolidated Account
Statement ("CAS") as generated and shared by
the NSDL. We confirmed the valuation of the
Company's dominant holding in Asian Paints
Limited (2,83,13,860 shares; carrying value Rs.
6,13,051.70 lakhs) by reference to published
stock prices and verified holdings against
depository statements.

3. Unquoted Equity and CCPs - Valuation
Assessment

For unquoted investments including CCPs and
corporate bonds, we: (i) evaluated the
appropriateness of valuation as per the
valuation reports provided; (ii) verified against
valuation reports / NAV statements from fund
managers; and (iii) reviewed fair value
hierarchy classification under Ind AS 113.

4. Mutual Funds - NAV Verification

We verified NAVs as at 31st March 2026 from
the CAS reports. We reconciled unit holdings to
CAMS/depository statements and recomputed
carrying values.

5. AIF Investments - Fund Manager NAV
Statements

We obtained and reviewed fund manager NAV
statements as at 31st March 2026 for major AIF
investments and assessed the reasonableness
of any unadjusted gains/(losses) reported (net
unadjusted loss of Rs. 33.52 lakhs as at
31.03.2026).

6. Carrying Cost of Subsidiaries - Impairment
Assessment

For investments in subsidiary companies
carried at cost, we reviewed net assets and
financial performance to assess impairment
indicators. No indicators of impairment were
identified.

7. Completeness, Cut-off and Disclosures

We reviewed investment transactions around
year-end for cut-off; agreed the investment
schedule to the general ledger and to Note 6.
We assessed adequacy of disclosures on fair
value hierarchy, basis of valuation and
classification per Ind AS 107 and Ind AS 113.

Conclusion: Based on our procedures, we found
the valuation of investments and carrying cost to
be appropriately stated. The net investment value

of Rs. 6,90,763.51 lakhs are fairly stated and
disclosures in Note 6 are adequate.

Information other than the Standalone Ind AS
Financial Statements and auditor's report thereon

5. 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
auditors' report thereon.

6. Our opinion on the standalone financial
statements does not cover the other information
and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.

7. 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 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 on in this regard.

Management's Responsibility for the Standalone
Ind AS Financial Statements

8. 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 Ind AS
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 relevant rules issued
thereunder. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Act; for
safeguarding the assets of the Company; for
preventing and detecting frauds and other

irregularities; selection and application of
appropriate implementation and maintenance
of 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 Ind AS financial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.

9. 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.

10. Those Board of Directors are also responsible
for overseeing the Company's financial
reporting process.

Auditors Responsibility for the Audit of the

Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

11. 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.

12. 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 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 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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
auditors' 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.

Report) Order, 2020 (the "Order") issued by the

provide any guarantee, security or the like on
