Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit
of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of
the financial statements as a whole, and informing 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

AUDITOR''S RESPONSE

1. Inventory Existence and Valuation

The Company recognised inventory of
'' 5333.30 Lakhs at March 31,2025.
Inventory is held at Company’s various
locations.

We focused on this matter because of the:

- Relevance of the inventory for
profitability on the financial statement.

- Complications inherent in ascertaining
the valuation of Inventory.

We attended in inventory counts at Santej location, based
on their financial significance and risk. For locations we didn’t
attend, we assessed certain controls related to inventory
existence and value. Our Audit procedures comprised:

- Choosing a sample of inventory items and comparing the
counted quantities with the recorded quantities. We then
verified any differences found during physical verification
to ensure accurate accounting.

- Observing a sample of management’s inventory count
procedures to evaluate compliance with the company’s
process.

- Making inquiries about non-moving inventory items and
examining the conditions of items counted.

- Assessing a selection of controls over inventory existence
across the company. Additionally, we confirmed the
inventory held by Job worker at their place for Job work.

- Checking approvals for reviewing selling prices,
authorizing and recording costs, and ensuring that
subsequent selling prices exceed the inventory’s
accounted value.

- Testing the valuation of inventory in line with Indian
Accounting Standard -2.

- Testing the design, implementation, and effectiveness of
key controls management established for provision
computations and to ensure inventory provision accuracy.

We identified no significant exceptions from these procedures.

2. Recoverability of Trade receivable balances

The Company has outstanding trade
receivable of '' 2791.18 Lakhs (net of
provision as per ECL of '' 92.00 Lakhs) as
on March 31, 2025 which represent
balance outstanding from domestic and
export customers.

Trade receivables by nature carry certain
risks in general which include overdue
balances, customer in weaker economic
and geopolitical environment, customer’s
ability to pay, provision in relation to
expected credit loss, assessment of
recovery process and compliance with risk
management controls. In determining
above risk factors, the management takes
into consideration the ageing status and
likelihood of collection based on
contractual terms, past experience
customer correspondence etc.

Due to the involvement of management’s
judgment and materiality of the amounts
involved, we have identified testing of
recoverability of trade receivables as a
key audit matter.

Our audit procedure in this area included:

- We evaluated the Company’s process and controls
relating to monitoring of trade receivable process where
we tested on a sample basis control over the customer
acceptance process, collection and the assessment of
the recoverability of receivables;

- Tested on a sample basis the ageing of trade receivables
at year end;

- Obtained confirmations from customers on sample basis
to support existence assertion of trade receivables.

- In respect of material trade receivables balances
outstanding as on March 31,2025, we have rolled out for
third party balance confirmations of which few has been
received up to the date of signing of financials by Board
of Directors and for others subsequent clearance of
balances has been verified on sample basis;

- In respect of material trade receivables balances,
inspected relevant documents and correspondence with
customers, wherever applicable;

- We evaluated the assumptions used by management in
calculation of the expected credit loss impairment
including the impact of the future uncertainties

in the economic environment.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Board’s Report including Annexures to the Board’s
Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The other information
is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors’ report.

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 communicate the matter to those charged with governance as required under SA 720 ’The Auditors’
responsibilities relating to other Information’. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management’s responsibility for the 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view
of the financial position, financial performance, including total comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the IndAS specified under section 133 of the Act and the rules thereunder, as amended. 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 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 financial statements that give a true
and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, 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 management or Board of Directors either intend 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 Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 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 system 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 management’s 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 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 financial statements or, if such disclosures are in adequate, 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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate,
make it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the 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 financial statements.

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 financial statements for the financial year ended March 31,2025
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.
