Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
The Companyâs management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Boardâs Report including Annexures to the Boardâs
Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditorsâ report thereon. The other information
is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditorsâ 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 âThe Auditorsâ
responsibilities relating to other Informationâ. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Companyâs 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 Companyâs 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 Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 auditorsâ 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.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS |
AUDITOR''S RESPONSE |

1. Inventory Existence and Valuation The Company recognised inventory of '' 4474.67 Lakhs at March 31,2024. 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.

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. |

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. |

that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal financial control relevant to the Company's
preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
whether the company has in place as adequate internal financial
controls system over financial reporting and the effectiveness of such
controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by the Company's Directors, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone
financial statements.

explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements, give the
