6. The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual Report, but does not
include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s
report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made
available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
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 when it becomes available 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.
When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there
is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
7. The accompanying standalone financial statements have
been approved by the Company''s Board of Directors. The
Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect
to the preparation and presentation of these standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows
of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS specified
under section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India. 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 financial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
8. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board
of Directors is 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.
9. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the
Company''s financial reporting process.
10. 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 Standards on Auditing 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.
11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing,
specified under section 143(10) of the Act 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 management;
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Directors''
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; and
⢠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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. The standalone financial statements of the Company for the
year ended 31st March 2024 were audited by the predecessor
auditor, S.R. Batliboi & Co. LLP, Chartered Accountants, who have
expressed an unmodified opinion on those standalone financial
statements vide their audit report dated 14th May 2024.
16. As required by section 197(16) of the Act, based on our audit,
we report that the Company has paid remuneration to its
directors during the year in accordance with the provisions
of and limits laid down under section 197 read with Schedule
V to the Act.
17. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2020

terms of section 143(11) of the Act we give in the Annexure
I a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4

controls with reference to financial statements of the
Company as on 31st March 2025 and the operating
effectiveness of such controls, refer to our separate
report in Annexure II wherein we have expressed an
unmodified opinion; and
h) With respect to the other matters to be included in

We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of KDDL Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance sheet as at 31st March 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act") 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 31st March, 2024, its profit including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ''Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS 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 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 audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended 31st March, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|
Impairment of Investments in Kamla International Holdings SA and Pylania SA (subsidiaries of the Company) (as described in Note 46(a) of the standalone Ind AS financial statements) |
|
|
Impairment indicators were identified by the management on the investments in Kamla International Holdings SA and Pylania SA. As a result, an impairment assessment was required to be performed by the Company by comparing the carrying value of these investments to their recoverable amount to determine whether an impairment was required to be recognised. For the purpose of the above impairment testing, value in use has been determined by forecasting and discounting future cash flows. Furthermore, the value in use is highly sensitive to changes in some of the inputs used for forecasting the future cash flows. Further, the determination of the recoverable amount of the investments in Kamla International Holdings SA and Pylania SA involved judgment due to inherent uncertainty in the assumptions supporting the recoverable amount of these investments. Accordingly, the impairment of investments in Kamla International Holdings SA and Pylania SA was determined to be a key audit |
Our audit procedures amongst others included the following: ⢠We assessed and tested management''s controls over the assessment of the carrying value of Investment, property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets to assess whether any asset impairment was required. ⢠We evaluated the Company''s valuation methodology applied in determining the recoverable amount. In making this assessment, we also assessed the objectivity and independence of Company''s specialists involved in the process. ⢠We evaluated the assumptions around the key drivers of the cash flow forecasts including estimated reserve, discount rates, expected growth rates and terminal growth rates used. ⢠We also assessed the recoverable value headroom by performing sensitivity testing of key assumptions used with particular focus on drivers of the growth rates, margins and discount rate used in the impairment models. |

⢠We tested the arithmetical accuracy of the model. ⢠We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures included at Note 46(a) and other relevant disclosures including significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions made in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. |
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS 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 the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, 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 standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, management is 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.
Those 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
OPINION
We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial
statements of KDDL Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance sheet as at 31st March 2023, the Statement of Profit and
Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the
Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for
the year then ended, and notes to the standalone Ind AS financial
statements, including a summary of significant 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 Ind
AS financial statements give the information required by the
Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act") 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 31st March 2023, its profit including
other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in
equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs),
as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities
under those Standards are further described in the ''Auditor''s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS 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
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 audit opinion on the
standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended 31st March
2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description
of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key
audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled
the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibilities for
the audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements section
of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly,
our audit included the performance of procedures designed to
respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement
of the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The results of our
audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address
the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the
accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual report, but does not include the standalone
Ind AS financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether such 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 report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT FOR THE STANDALONE
IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters
stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation
of these standalone Ind AS 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 the Indian
Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the
Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015, 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 standalone Ind AS
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 Ind AS financial statements,
management is 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
Company''s financial reporting process.
AUDITOR''S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE
STANDALONE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the standalone Ind AS 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
Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 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 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 Ind AS financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial
statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2023 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.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (âthe Actâ) 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 March 31,2021, its profit including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs),as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ''Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS 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 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 audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
We draw attention to Note 45 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements, which describes the uncertainties and impact of second wave of COVID-19 pandemic on the Company''s operations and results as assessed by the management. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31,2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements section of our report, including in relation to this matter. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|
Impairment of Investments in Kamla International Holdings SA (a subsidiary of the Company) |
|
|
(as described in Note 44 of the standalone Ind AS financial statements) |
|
|
During the current year, impairment indicators were id entified by the management on the investments in Kamla International Holdings SA of Rs 1,097.66 lakhs. As a result, an impairment assessment was required to be performed by the Company by comparing the carrying value of these investments to their recoverable amount to determine whether an impairment was required to be recognised. For the purpose of the above impairment testing, value in use has been determined by forecasting and discounting future cash flows. Furthermore, the value in use is highly sensitive to changes in some of the inputs used for forecasting the future cash flows. Further, the determination of the recoverable amount of the investments in Kamla International Holdings SA involved judgment due to inherent uncertainty in the assumptions supporting the recoverable amount of these investments. Accordingly, the impairment of investments in Kamla International Holdings SA was determined to be a key audit matter in our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements. |
Our audit procedures amongst others included the following: ⢠We assessed and tested management''s controls over the assessment of the carrying value of Investment, property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets to assess whether any asset impairment was required. ⢠We evaluated the Company''s valuation methodology applied in determining the recoverable amount. In making this assessment, we also assessed the objectivity and independence of Company''s specialists involved in the process. ⢠We evaluated the assumptions around the key drivers of the cash flow forecasts including estimated reserve, discount rates, expected growth rates and terminal growth rates used. ⢠We also assessed the recoverable value headroom by performing sensitivity testing of key assumptions used with particular focus on drivers of the growth rates, margins and discount rate used in the impairment models. ⢠We tested the arithmetical accuracy of the model. ⢠We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures included at Note 44 and other relevant disclosures including significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions made in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. |
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

To the Members of KDDL Limited
1. Report on Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of KDDL Limited (''the Company''), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as ''the standalone Ind AS financial statements'').
2. Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Act") with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit or loss and including 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'') prescribed 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 standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, management is 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.
3. Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. We 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 thereunder.
We conducted our 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fairview in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements.
We are also responsible to 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 entity''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the standalone Ind AS financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor''s report. However, future events or conditions may cause an entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone Ind AS financial statements of KDDL Limited (âthe Company") as of 31 March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''ICAI''). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Ind AS financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system with reference to standalone Ind AS financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone Ind AS financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to standalone Ind AS financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 Company''s internal financial controls system with reference to standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
A company''s internal financial control with reference to standalone Ind AS 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 company''s internal financial control with reference to standalone Ind AS 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 standalone 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 authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to standalone Ind AS financial statements were operating effectively as at 31 March 2018, based on the internal control with reference to standalone Ind AS financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Annexure II Independent Auditor''s report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (I) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ''Act'')
1. In conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of KDDL Limited (the ''Company'') as of and for the year ended 31 March 2017, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting (IFCoFR) of the Company of as of that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the IFCoFR criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal financial controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the ''Guidance Note'') issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''ICAI''). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of the Company''s business, including adherence to Company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors'' Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s IFCoFR based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (''Standards''), issued by the ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of IFCoFR, and the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate IFCoFR were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the IFCoFR and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of IFCoFR included obtaining an understanding of IFCoFR, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. 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.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s IFCoFR.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
6. A Company''s IFCoFR 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 IFCoFR 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 of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
7. Because of the inherent limitations of IFCoFR, 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 IFCoFR to future periods are subject to the risk that IFCoFR may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2017, based on the IFCoFR criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal financial controls stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records
in accordance with the provisions of the Act; safeguarding the assets

Limited, ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31
March 2014, the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement
for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.

statements, that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act")
read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the

to fraud or error.
Auditors'' Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial

with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free

4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditors'' judgment, including the

assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
Company''s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of Company''s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the

as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
