Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

We have issued an Independent Audit Report dated 25.05.2023 on the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements as adopted by Board of Directors on even date. Pursuant to the observations of Comptroller and Auditor General of India, we are issuing this Revised Report by including additional disclosure under ‘Key Audit Matter and ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements para. This report supersedes our earlier report issued on 25.05.2023.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (the "Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the "standalone financial statements"). 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 (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 read with the Companies (Indian

Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, the profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows 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 ("SA"s) 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 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matter

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. The key audit matters that we have identified in the current year are as follows:

Key Audit matter	How the matter was addressed in our audit
Revenue Recognition
Refer Accounting Policy Note No.2.3 and Note No. 28 to the standalone financial statements.	Following audit procedures were applied, considering the significance of the matter, amongst others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence:
Revenue Recognition was identified as a key audit matter as the Company as well as its external stakeholders focus on Revenue as a key performance indicator. This could create an incentive for revenue to be overstated or recognised before control has been transferred.	1. Assessed the appropriateness of the revenue recognition accounting policies whether they are in line with applicable accounting standards.
The standard on Revenue establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when, how much & whether, revenue could be recognized. Accordingly, this involves certain key judgements relating to identification of distinct performance obligations, determination of transaction price of identified performance obligation, the appropriateness of the basis used to measure revenue recognition.	2. Evaluated the design of key controls and operating effectiveness of the relevant key controls with respect to revenue recognition on selected transactions.
	3. Performed substantive testing by sample selection of revenue transactions recorded during the year by testing the underlying documents.
	4. Carried out analytical procedures on revenue recognised during the year to identify unusual variances, if any.
	5. Tested on sampling basis, whether revenue transactions near to the reporting data have been recognised in the appropriate period by comparing the transactions selected with relevant underlying documentation, including goods delivery notes and the terms of sales.
	6. Checked the underlying documentation to verify that the control and ownership has been transferred to the customer.
Disclosure relating to Scrap which is re-usable as Raw Material Refer Note No.31 in the Standalone Financial Statements
Company is engaged in production and supply of various Super Alloys, Special Steels/materials to Defence and other strategic sectors for Nuclear, aeronautical and space applications. In each manufacturing process involving Melting, Forging and Machining, Scrap is generated in the process which again will be re-usable almost to the extent of 90% as Raw Material in production process. Company is holding substantial amounts of scrap generated over the past few years which is again re-usable as Raw Material. This was earlier shown under ‘Cost of Material Consumed (Note No.30)	Following audit procedures were applied, considering the significance of the matter, amongst others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence:
	1. Checked the existing disclosure till the last financial year ending, where the Company consistently disclosed for Scrap Accounting under ‘Cost of Material consumed.
	2. Reviewed the details of the clarification sought from the Expert Committee of ICAI by the Company, duly disclosing the present mode of accounting, specific query regarding the exact nature of disclosure to be made along with underlying facts.
Since there was no specific Ind AS or Guidance Note on the matter relating to disclosure of scrap accounting and due to the peculiar nature of the scrap re-usage, Company had sought Expert Opinion from ICAI regarding the disclosure in this regard.
	3. Reviewed the Expert Opinion given by the ICAI regarding the disclosures in the Financials relating to Scrap Accounting.
As per the Expert Opinion received from ICAI, the Company had regrouped the disclosure of the Scrap Accounting from earlier Note 30 - Cost of Material Consumed to Note 31 - Changes in Inventories of Finished Goods, Work in Progress and Stock-in-Trade.
	4. Checked the implementation of the said recommendation given by the Expert Committee of the ICAI by way of regrouping in this regard.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements:

a) Note No. 9 (Other Non-Current Assets), Note No. 11 (Current Financial Assets - Trade Receivables), Note No. 14 (Current Financial Assets - Others), Note No. 15 (Other Current Assets),

Note No. 22 (Other Non-current Liabilities), Note No. 24 (Current Financial Liabilities - Trade Payables), Note No. 25 (Current Financial Liabilities - Others) and Note No. 26 (Other Current Liabilities) to the standalone Financial Statements are subject to receipt of confirmation of balances/reconciliation.

Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements is not modified in respect of the above matters.

Other Information

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information contained in Directors Report including Annual Report on CSR Activities, Management Discussion & Analysis Report, Business Responsibility Report, Report on Conservation of Energy, Technology Absorption and Foreign Exchange Earnings and outgo, Report on Corporate Governance annexed thereto, Shareholder Information and other information contained in Annual Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our report thereon. These reports are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report.

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 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 during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the other information, if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Managements Responsibilities 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, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the 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 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, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the standalone financial statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.

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.

The Board of Directors are 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 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 financial 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 system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls based on our audit.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the 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 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 business activities of the Company to express an opinion on the standalone financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the standalone financial statements of such entity included in.

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 of the Company 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 of the Company 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 of the Company, 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.
