Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements
of Aster DM Healthcare Limited (the "Company"), which comprise
the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2026, the Statement of Profit and
Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash
Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended
on that date, and notes to the Standalone Financial Statements,
including a summary of material accounting policies and other
explanatory information which includes financial statements of DM
Healthcare Employees Welfare Trust ("the ESOP trust") for the year
ended on that date audited by the ESOP trust auditor.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of
report of the ESOP Trust auditor on separate financial statements
of the ESOP trust referred to in the Other Matters section below,
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, ("Ind
AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the
state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2026, its profit, other
comprehensive loss, its cash flows and the changes in equity 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 Auditors Responsibility 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 ICAIs Code of Ethics. We
believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and the audit evidence
obtained by the ESOP trust auditor in terms of their report referred to in
the Other Matters section below, 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 matters to be communicated in our report.

Evaluation of Impairment Assessment of Investment in Subsidiaries, Associate and other investments and loans (including accrued interest), deposits and other dues receivable from them, collectively defined as "investments and receivables" Asat31March2026,theCompanyhasINR2,215.67croresofinvestments (net of provision for diminution in value of investment), INR 337.13 crores of loans (including accrued interest), INR 31.92 crores of deposits and INR 62.90 crores of other dues receivable from subsidiaries and associates. |
Principal audit procedures performed included the following: |
The management tests such investments and receivables for impairment annually or more frequently, if there is a trigger for assessing impairment. |
We tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Companys impairment evaluation by testing on a sample basis: |
| The Companys evaluation of impairment of its investments and receivables from its subsidiaries and associates involves a comparison of its expected recoverable values against its carrying values. The recoverable amount of the investments and receivables is based on Value in Use (VIU) calculations which is determined based on a discounted cash flow model. Determination of VIU involves significant estimates, assumptions and judgements in relation to projections of financial performance and discount rates to be considered. | The forecasting process including controls related to the development of the revenue growth rate and EBITDA margin. |
| Given the above complexities, the determination of recoverable amount is subjective as it involves specific assumptions applicable to each investment and receivable which includes revenue growth rate, Earning Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) margin, terminal growth rate and discount rates applied to estimated future cash flows. Refer note 3.4 for policy on "Impairment of financial assets". | The impairment review specifically the assumptions used to develop the terminal growth rate, the discount rate and the mathematical accuracy of the workings and basis for final conclusion. |
| We received the managements evaluation of the impairment assessment for sample investments and receivables. We evaluated reasonableness of managements assumptions related to revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins and discount rates by considering (i) the current and past performance of each entity, (ii) the consistency of internal assumptions with external market information (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit (iv) subjected the various assumptions to certain sensitivity to key inputs, and (v) testing the integrity and mathematical accuracy of the impairment models. | |
| We involved our internal valuation specialists to assist in the evaluation of the appropriateness of the Companys model for calculating VIU for sample investments and receivables and reasonableness of certain significant assumptions, such as terminal growth rate and discount rate. | |
| We reviewed that the investments and receivables disclosed in the Standalone Financial Statements is in accordance with the Companies Act, 2013 and Ind AS. |

Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained
during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
- If, based on the work we have performed on the other

Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors
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 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 Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intend to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
The Companys Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing
the Companys financial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibility 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 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 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 the 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.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
financial information of the Company and the ESOP trust to
express an opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements. We
are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance
of the audit of the financial statements of such entities
or business activities included in the Standalone Financial
Statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the
other entity included in the Standalone Financial Statements,
which have been audited by the ESOP trust auditor, such ESOP
trust auditor remain responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the audit carried out by them. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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 financial controls 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.
Other Matters
We did not audit the financial statements of ESOP trust included in
the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company whose financial
statements reflect (before elimination) total assets of INR 19.57
crores as at 31 March 2026 and total revenue of INR 0.80 crores
for the year ended on that date, as considered in the Standalone
Financial Statements. The financial statements of ESOP trust have

Managements and Board of Directors Responsibilities
for Internal Financial Controls
The Companys management and Board of Directors are responsible
for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls with
reference to Standalone Financial Statements based on the internal
control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements criteria
established by the Company considering the essential components
of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal
Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include
the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the
orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to
the Companys policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention
and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of
the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial
information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal
financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements
of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards
on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies
Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial
controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements. Those
Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with
reference to Standalone Financial Statements was established
and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all
material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to
Standalone Financial Statements and their operating effectiveness.
Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone
Financial Statements included obtaining an understanding of internal
financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the
auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due
to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Companys internal financial controls with reference to Standalone
Financial Statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to
Standalone Financial Statements
A Companys internal financial control with reference to Standalone
Financial Statements is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of Standalone Financial Statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A Companys internal financial control with reference
to Standalone Financial Statements includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance
with authorisations of management and directors of the Company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the
Companys assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone
Financial Statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with
reference to Standalone Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls
with reference to Standalone Financial Statements, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls,
material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial
controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements to future
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control
with reference to Standalone Financial Statements may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects,
an adequate internal financial controls with reference to Standalone
Financial Statements and such internal financial controls with
reference to Standalone Financial Statements were operating
effectively as at 31 March 2026, based on the criteria for internal
financial control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements
established by the Company considering the essential components
of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal
Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of

our attention, which causes us to believe that any material
uncertainty exists as on the date of the audit report indicating
that Company is not capable of meeting its liabilities existing at
the date of balance sheet as and when they fall due within a
period of one year from the balance sheet date. We, however,
state that this is not an assurance as to the future viability of
the Company. We further state that our reporting is based on
the facts up to the date of the audit report and we neither give
any guarantee nor any assurance that all liabilities falling due
within a period of one year from the balance sheet date, will get
discharged by the Company as and when they fall due.
