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 for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. 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 matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
| Key audit matters | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
| (a) Valuation of Carbon Credit Inventory | |
| Note No. 2(7)(g) of the Standalone Financial Statements which describes the significant accounting policies applied in the valuation of inventory including cook stoves and carbon credits inventories are measured lower of the cost or net realisable value (NRV). The valuation of inventory is a critical accounting estimate that involves significant judgment by management. Further, the valuation of carbon credits involves complex and specialized factors, including verification of emission reductions norms, market pricing, regulatory compliance, vintage, technology, the timing of recognizing inventory, and other aspects. Due to complexity in nature of determining the valuation of carbon credits inventory, we have identified the valuation of carbon credit inventory as a Key Audit Matter. | We have identified the valuation of carbon credit inventory as a key audit matter in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of EKI Energy Services Limited for the year ended March 31, 2026. Carbon credits represent a significant asset on the balance sheet and are subject to management judgment. Our audit procedures related to the valuation of carbon credit inventory included: |
| (1) Assessment of Fair Value: We have evaluated the appropriateness of the fair value measurement methodologies applied by management in valuing carbon credit inventory. This involved assessing the reasonableness of assumptions used, such as discount rates, future carbon prices, and market liquidity, technology, country of origin, vintage. | |
| (2) Verification of Transactions: We have tested the completeness and accuracy of transactions related to the acquisition, sale, and retirement of carbon credits This included examining supporting documentation, contracts, and agreements to ensure that transactions were properly recorded and accounted for. | |
| (3) Evaluation of Carbon Credit Registry: We have assessed the reliability and integrity of the carbon credit registry or trading platform used by the company to record its carbon credit inventory transactions. This involved confirming the existence and ownership of carbon credits held by the company. | |
| (4) Consideration of Regulatory Compliance: We have evaluated the companys compliance with relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards governing the valuation and reporting of carbon credit inventory. This included assessing any potential impacts of regulatory changes on the valuation of carbon credits. | |
| (5) Assessment of Write-downs: We have examined the adequacy of any write-downs taken by the company for carbon credit inventory. This involved evaluating the reasonableness of managements assumptions and projections used in valuation assessments. | |
| Our audit procedures regarding the valuation of carbon credit inventory required a high degree of auditor judgment, testing, and evaluation due to the specialized nature of this asset class and the inherent uncertainties involved. Based on our examination, we have concluded that the valuation of carbon credit inventory is materially accurate and in accordance with relevant Indian accounting standards. |
Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
The Companys Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Companys annual report 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 Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Companys 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 necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations. We have nothing to report in this regard.

The Companys Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that gives 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 Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies Ind AS Rules, 2015, as amended. The Board of Directors of the companies are responsible for 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 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 gives a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.

The Companys Management and Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
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, it 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 scepticism 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 sub-section (3)(i) of section 143 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 and Board of Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors 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.
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.
