Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Ind AS 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 materia! misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are considered materia! 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 Ind AS Financial
Statements,

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also;

evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our $$)i6n. The\risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resffijjfe from error, 4$ fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, Intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the ovem^^f ihtefHalg&htrol.

that are appropriate inthe circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for

to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

and related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements made by the management and Board of
Directors.

• 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 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.
Fiowever, 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 Ind AS financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS 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

31,2025and 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.
