Auditor Report of Hatsun Agro Products Ltd.

Mar 31, 2025

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Hatsun Agro Product Limited (the âCompanyâ), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income),
the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date, and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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 âActâ) 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, (âInd ASâ)
and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2025, and
its profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity 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 (âSAâs)
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditorâs
Responsibility 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 (âICAIâ) 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 ICAIâs 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 Matters

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

Information Other than the Financial Statements and
Auditorâs Report Thereon

â¢ The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in Boardâs Report including
Annexures to the Boardâs Report, Report on Corporate
Governance, Management Discussion and Analysis and
Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report, but
does not include the consolidated financial statements,
standalone financial statements and our auditorâs reports
thereon.

â¢ Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does
not cover the other information and we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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

â¢ 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors
for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Companyâs 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, cash
flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including 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 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 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 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 the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the

Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

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

Auditorâs Responsibility 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 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 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:

â¢ 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.

â¢ Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls
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.

â¢ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the management.

â¢ 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 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 auditorâs report. However, future events
or conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.

â¢ 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.

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
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal financial controls 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 auditorâs
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.

audit we report, that:

a) We have sought and obtained all the information and
