Mar 31, 2025
We have audited the standalone financial statements of
Greenply Industries Limited (the âCompanyâ) which comprise
the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2025, and the
standalone statement of profit and loss (including other
comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes
in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the
year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including material accounting policies and
other explanatory information (herein referred to as âthe
standalone financial statementsâ).
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 (âActâ) in the manner
so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the
state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2025, and its
profit and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and
its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described
in the Auditor''s 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 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 is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
on the standalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 22 of the accompanying
standalone financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2025 which describes that in the previous year the
Company had given guarantee aggregating to Rs. 5500 lakhs
in favour of a bank for the loan obtained by its joint venture
entity without obtaining prior approval of the shareholders
of the Company by way of special resolution. The aforesaid
guarantee given was not in compliance with Section 185 of
the Companies Act, 2013. The Company has subsequently
obtained the shareholders'' approval during the current year.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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.

Other Information
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Company''s
annual report, but does not include the financial statements
and auditor''s 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 in the audit
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based
on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is
a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.
Management''s and Board of Directors''
Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial
Statements
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are
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 state
of affairs, profit/ loss and other comprehensive loss, changes
in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Indian Accounting Standards (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 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.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the
Management and Board of Directors are responsible for
assessing the Company''s 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.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the
Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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 auditor''s 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 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 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 in preparation of standalone financial
statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditor''s 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 auditor''s
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 auditor''s
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.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report.

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 matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Revenue is recognised when the control of the underlying products has been transferred to customer along with the satisfaction of the Company''s performance obligation under a contract with customer. Further, the Company gives incentives to its dealers through various schemes. Due to various schemes and a large variety of contractual terms across dealers, the computation of these incentives involves judgement. The amount of such incentive is also significant. The management considers revenue as a key measure for evaluation of performance. in view of the above we have determined this matter to be a key audit matter. |
In view of the significance of the matter we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence: ⢠Evaluated the appropriateness of the Company''s accounting policy relating to revenue recognition ⢠Evaluated the design of key internal financial controls and operating effectiveness of the relevant key controls with respect to revenue recognition ⢠Evaluated the design of key internal financial controls and operating effectiveness of the relevant key controls with respect to computation of incentives ⢠Performed substantive testing over a a sample of sales transactions for compliance with the Company''s accounting principles to assess the completeness, occurrence and accuracy of revenue recorded. |

Other Information
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company''s annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor''s 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 in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management''s and Board of Directors'' Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are 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 state of affairs, profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (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 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.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company''s 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.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s 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 auditor''s 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 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 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 in preparation of standalone financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s 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 auditor''s 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 auditor''s 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.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
A companyâs internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of standalone Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control with reference to 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 Ind AS 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 companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to 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 financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to 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, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at 31 March 2018, based on the internal controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgement, including the assessment ofthe risks of material misstatement of the 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 internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
A Company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company''s internal financial control over financial reporting 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 financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures ofthe Company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors ofthe Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition ofthe Company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 ofthe internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting 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, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2017, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls

statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
