We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of INDOKEM LIMITED (âthe Companyâ), which
comprises the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended and notes to the
Standalone Financial Statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information
(herein after 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 (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 read
with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2025, the profit and total comprehensive income,
changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified
under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards 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 independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions
of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules there under, 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.
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.

The Company''s management and Board of Directors are responsible for preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Management discussion and analysis, board''s report including
Annexure to Board''s Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s information, but does not include the Standalone
Financial Statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The Board''s Report including Annexure to Board''s Report, Corporate
Governance and Shareholder''s Information are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
Any Material misstatement thereon pertaining to it will be reported thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we will 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
identified above 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.
The Company''s management and Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows
of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Accounting Standards 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, 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 either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
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 Companies Act, 2013, 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 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;
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 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.

Managementâs Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the presentation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position and financial performance in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014. 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 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.
Auditorâs Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under.
I have conducted the audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143 (10) of the Act. Those Standards require 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 adequate internal financial control system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of 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.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The inventories of the Ankelshwar Plant brought to Mumbai amounting to '' 186.25 lakhs at the year end is as valued and certified by the management only (Refer Para No 2 (c) of Note No 28 of Notes to Accounts)
Qualified Opinion
In my opinion and to the best of the information and according to the explanations given to me, except for the effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:
(a) In the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2016.

ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the fnancial statements are free

4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence,
about the amounts and disclosures in the fnancial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the fnancial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
Company''s preparation and fair presentation of the fnancial statements
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the

accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
