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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2023, of total standalone comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income), its standalone cash flows and standalone changes in equity for the year then ended.

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 Auditors 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 thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAIs 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.

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. We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

Descriptions of Key Audit Matter	How we addressed the matter in our audit
Revenue Recognition:	Our audit procedures included:
(Refer to Note 17 and 2.4 to the standalone financial statements)	As part of our audit, we understood the Companys policies and processes, control mechanisms and methods in relation to the revenue recognition and evaluated the design and operative effectiveness of the financial controls from the above through our test of control procedures.
There exists a risk that Revenue is recognised during the cut off period though the control of the goods may not have been passed on to the customer. The Company generates a significant portion of its revenue from engineering contracts, which include both contracts related to Micro Irrigation Systems and PE & PVC Pipes. These contracts are accounted under the percentage of completion method (POCM). The application of revenue recognition accounting standards Ind AS 115 is complex and involves a number of judgments and estimates. Further revenue is accounted for under the POCM which also requires significant judgments and estimates in particular with respect to estimation of the cost to complete. Due to the estimates, judgment and complexity involved in the application of the revenue recognition accounting standards, we have considered this matter as a key audit matter.
	• Tested a sample of sales transactions for compliance with the Companys accounting principles to assess the completeness, occurrence and accuracy of revenue recorded. Also, revenue is recognised when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
	• Performing procedures to ensure that the revenue recognition criteria adopted by Company for all major revenue streams is appropriate and in line with the Companys accounting policies.
	• We have focused on Managements judgment in applying the methodology and the estimates made to determine the amount of revenue to be recorded in their project calculations.
	• We have evaluated the managements process to recognize revenue over a period of time, total cost estimates, total cost incurred allocation of cost to projects, cost to completion, and status of the projects.
	• We have examined contracts with exceptions including contracts with low or negative margins, loss making contracts, etc. to determine the level of provisioning.
	• Our tests of detail focused on transactions occurring within proximity of the year end and obtaining evidence to support the appropriate timing of revenue recognition, based on terms and conditions set out in sales contracts and delivery documents or system generated reports. We considered the appropriateness and accuracy of any cut-off adjustments.
	• We have tested the companys system generated reports, based on which revenue is accrued at the year end, and performed tests of details on the accrued revenue and accounts receivable balances recognized in the balance sheet at the year end.
	Traced disclosure information to accounting records and other supporting documentation.
Valuation of inventories:	our audit procedures included:
(Refer to Note 12(a) and 2.12 to the standalone financial statements)	• Performing walkthrough of the inventory valuation process and assessed the design and implementation of the key controls addressing the risk.
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. As a result, the management applies judgment in determining the appropriate provisions for obsolete stock based upon a detailed analysis of old inventory and also where net realizable value is below cost based upon future plans for sale of inventory.	• Verifying the effectiveness of key inventory controls operating over inventories; including sample based physical verification. Reviewing the physical verification working papers conducted by the management.
We have obtained assurance over the appropriateness of the managements assumptions applied in valuation of inventories and related provisions by:	• Comparing the net realizable value to the cost price of inventories to check for completeness of the associated provision.
	• Reviewing the historical accuracy of inventory provisioning and the level of inventory write-offs during the year.
	• Traced disclosure information to accounting records and other supporting documentation.
Valuation and existence of Trade Receivables:	Our audit procedures included:
(Refer to Note 8(b) and 2.13 to the standalone financial statements).	• Evaluated the Companys accounting policies pertaining to impairment of financial assets and assessed compliance with those policies in terms of Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments.
As at March 31,2023, trade receivables constitutes approximately 25 % of total assets of the Company. Trade receivables are mainly comprised of receivables from central and state government owned enterprises.
The majority of trade receivables originate from Government Projects and subsidiaries, which are not exposed to high risk.	• Assessed and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Companys internal financial controls over provision for expected credit loss.
The Company is making specific provisions based on case- to-case reviews and approved by Management. Whereas, for other customers, provision is determined using the expected credit loss model.	• Evaluated managements assumption and judgment relating to various parameters which included the historical default rates and business environment in which the entity operates for estimating the amount of such provision.
The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of trade receivables and is adjusted for forward looking estimates.	• Evaluated managements assessment of recoverability of the outstanding receivables and recoverability of the overdue / aged receivables through inquiry with management, and analysis of collection trends in respect of receivables.
This is a key audit matter as significant judgement is involved to establish the provision matrix. The trade receivables balance, credit terms and aging as well as the Companys policy on impairment of receivables have been disclosed in Note 8(b) to the standalone financial statements.	• We have checked supporting of underline documents like Invoices, E-way Bills and other related documents on test basis.
	• We have checked the ageing analysis, on a sample basis and subsequent receipt of the trade receivables, to the source documents, including bank statements.
	• Assessed and reviewed the disclosures made by the Company in the standalone financial statements

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprise the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report.

Our opinion on the 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 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 appropriate action as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Companys 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 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 Companys 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 charged with governance are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors 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 auditors 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 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 managements 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 Companys ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors 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 auditors 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, makes 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 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.
