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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained together with the audit evidence obtained by the branch, in terms of their reports referred to in paragraph 16 of the Other Matter section below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

4. We draw attention to Note 1 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, which describes that pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation (the ‘Scheme) between the Company and its erstwhile wholly-owned subsidiary, namely, Suzlon Global Services Limited (referred to as ‘Transferor Company), as approved by the Honble National Company Law Tribunal vide order dated 8 May 2025, the Transferor Company has been amalgamated with the Company with effect from appointed date of 15 August 2024.

Accordingly, the comparative financial information for the year ended 31 March 2024 has been restated in the accompanying standalone financial statements from the beginning of the earliest period presented, being 01 April 2023. Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.

Key Audit Matters

5. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, and based on the consideration of the reports of the branch auditors as referred to paragraph 16 below, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current year. 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.

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

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Impairment assessment of investment in equity shares of and Inter Corporate Deposits given to SE Forge Limited Our audit procedures in relation to assessment of the recoverable amount of investments and Inter Corporate Deposits included, but were not limited to, the following:
As described in Note 9 and Note 11 to the standalone financial statements, carrying value of investment in equity shares of, and Inter Corporate Deposits given to SE Forge Limited (SEFL) as at 31 March 2025 amounted to Rs. 290.73 crores and Rs. 118.97 crores respectively, net off impairment losses of Rs. 754.23 crores. Refer Note 2.3(q) for the related material accounting policy information. • Obtained an understanding of managements impairment assessment process and evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over such process
The management has noted impairment indicators as Companys share in net asset of SEFL is lower than the carrying value of investment in and Inter Corporate Deposits given as at 31 March 2025. • Obtained the impairment analysis carried out by the management including report of external valuation expert
The recoverable amount of the investment in and Inter Corporate Deposits are assessed based on assumptions that require the management to exercise their judgment such as future expected revenue, future expected revenue growth rate, gross margins, future cash flows, determination of historical trends and the most appropriate discount rate. As a result of such impairment testing, the Company recorded a total impairment of Rs. 754.23 crores against these investments in earlier years. • Assessed the professional competence and objectivity of the external valuation expert engaged by management
Considering the materiality of the amounts and significant degree of judgement and subjectivity involved in the estimates and key assumptions used by the management in determining recoverable amount of aforesaid investments and Inter Corporate Deposits, we have considered this matter as a key audit matter for current years audit. • Assessed the methodology used by the management to estimate the recoverable value of investment in and Inter Corporate Deposits
• Engaged auditors expert to assess appropriateness of valuation methodology used by the management and reasonableness of valuation assumptions used
• Traced the projected cash flows to approved business plans and critically challenged underlying assumptions such as future expected revenue, future expected revenue growth rate, terminal growth rate and gross margins basis our understanding of business and market conditions
• Tested the arithmetical accuracy and sensitivity analysis performed by management of key assumptions such as discount and growth rates and
• Assessed the appropriateness of disclosures made in the standalone financial statements in accordance with the requirements of applicable Indian Accounting Standards.

As described in Note 10 and Note 12 to the standalone financial statements, the Company has trade receivables (net) of Rs. 3,682.90 crores and PE receivables (net) of Rs. 41.12 crores respectively as on 31 March 2025. Refer Note 2.3(q) for the related material accounting policy information. • Obtained an understanding of the process of estimating recoverability and allowance for impairment of trade receivables and PE receivables as per Ind AS 109
The Company recognises loss allowance for trade receivables and other financial assets as per the expected credit loss (‘ECL) principles enunciated under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments (‘Ind AS 109). Assessment of the recoverability of trade receivables and other financial assets is inherently subjective and requires significant management judgement which includes consideration of repayment history and financial position of entities from whom these balances are recoverable, terms of underlying arrangements, overdue balances, market conditions etc. • Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the internal controls implemented over the aforesaid process.
Considering the materiality of the amounts involved and the high estimation uncertainty related to the risk that trade receivables and PE receivables may not be recoverable, we have considered this matter as a key audit matter for current years audit. • Assessed reasonableness of the method, assumptions and judgements used by the management with respect to recoverability and determination of the allowance for impairment of trade receivables and PE receivables
• Tested, on sample basis, the key input data used in the provisioning model by the Company such as repayment history, terms of underlying arrangements, ageing of outstanding balances, etc., basis underlying records

Refer Note 2.3(f) for the related material accounting policy information. • Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls implemented by the Company over recognition and recoverability of deferred tax assets based on the assessment of Companys ability to generate sufficient taxable profits in foreseeable future allowing the use of deferred tax assets within the time prescribed by income tax laws
The Companys ability to recover the said deferred tax assets is assessed by the management at the close of each reporting period which depends on the forecasts of the future results and taxable profits that the Company expects to earn within the period by which such brought forward losses, unabsorbed depreciation can be adjusted against the taxable profits as governed by the Income-tax Act, 1961. • Reconciled the future business projections with approved business plans of the Company
The determination of projected future taxable profits is inherently subjective and requires significant management judgement to be exercised with respect to key assumptions such as future growth rates and market and economic conditions, including expected favourable industry-focused trade policies. Any significant change in these assumptions could have a material impact on the carrying value of deferred tax assets. • Tested the assumptions used in the aforesaid future projections such as growth rates, expected saving, increased utilisation of plants, etc. considering our understanding of the business, actual historical results, other relevant existing conditions, external data and market conditions
We have identified the recognition and recoverability of deferred tax assets on carried forward tax losses, unabsorbed depreciation as a key audit matter for the current year audit considering the materiality of the amounts, complexities and significant judgements involved, as described above. • Tested the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations including those related to sensitivity analysis performed by the management

The Company has framed an ESOP scheme for its employees approved by the shareholders of the Company under which the Company pays remuneration to its employees for their services in the form of equity-settled share-based payments. • Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls implemented by management relating to accounting and valuation of share-based payments
In accordance with the principles of Ind AS 102, Share Based Payment (Ind AS 102), the fair value of the aforesaid employee stock options granted under such scheme determined on the grant date is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. • Assessed appropriateness of accounting policy adopted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 102
The fair value is measured by external valuation experts using Black-Scholes valuation model which requires management to make certain key assumptions including expected volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, performance factor, attrition rate and non-acceptance factors. Further, the number of options expected to vest is based on managements estimation of achievement of specified non-market performance based conditions. • Inspected approvals from appropriate authority for grant of options during the current year

7. The Companys Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone 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 standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

I n 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 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.

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

8. The accompanying standalone financial statements have been approved by the Companys Board of Directors. The Companys Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation 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 the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes 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 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.

9. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 10

10. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

11. 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 Standards on Auditing 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.

12. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act 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 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 and

- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the business activities and standalone financial statements of the Company which includes financial information of its branches to express an opinion on the standalone financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of standalone financial statements of the Company, of which we are the independent auditors. For the branches, included in the standalone financial statements, which have been audited by the branch auditors, such branch auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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 year 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 Matter

16. We did not audit the annual financial statements of two branches included in the standalone financial statements of the Company whose annual financial statements reflects total assets of Rs. 68.33 crores as at 31 March 2025, total revenues of Rs. 130.01 crores and net cash inflows of Rs. 2.67 crores for the year ended on that date. These annual financial statements have been audited by the branch auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management, and our opinion on the standalone financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these branches, and our report in terms of sub-section (3) of section 143 of the Act in so far as it relates to the aforesaid branches, is based solely on the report of such branch auditors.

Further, these branches, are located outside India whose annual financial statements and other financial information have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries and which have been audited by branch auditors under generally accepted auditing standards applicable in India. The Companys management has converted the financial statements of such branches from accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have audited these conversion adjustments made by the Companys management. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of such branches is based on the report of branch auditors and the conversion adjustments prepared by the management of the Company and audited by us.

1. In conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of Suzlon Energy Limited (‘the Company) as at and for the year ended 31 March 2025, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements of the Company as at that date.

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls 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 the Companys 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 Act.

Auditors Responsibility for the Audit of the Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Standalone financial statements

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI) prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, and the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (‘the Guidance Note) issued by the ICAI. 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 were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

4. 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 includes obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, 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.

5. 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

6. A companys internal financial controls 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 controls with reference to standalone financial statements include 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

7. 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 controls 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
