Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year

required and give a true and fair view in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards specified under Section
133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended, ("Ind AS") and
other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31^st March,
2024 and its profit including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year
ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SA" s)
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 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
("ICAI") 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 ICAI''s 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 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 financial statements of the current period. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the
financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on this matter. We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated
in our report.

Key Audit Matters	Response to Key Audit Matters
Property, Plant and Equipment There are areas where management judgment impacts the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and their respective depreciation rates.	We assessed the controls in place over the Property, Plant and Equipment, evaluated the appropriateness of capitalization process, performed tests of details on costs capitalized, the timeliness of the capitalization of the assets and the de-recognition criteria for assets retired from active use.

Key Audit Matters

Response to Key Audit Matters

We do not consider this management judgement to be of high risk of significant misstatement or to be subject to significant level of judgment. Due to the materiality in the context of the Balance Sheet of the Company, this is considered to be an area which had the significant effect on the overall audit strategy and allocation of resources in planning and completing our audit.

In performing these procedures, we reviewed the judgements made by management including the nature of underlying costs capitalized; determination of realizable value of the assets retired from active use; the appropriateness of assets'' lives applied in the calculation of depreciation; and the useful lives of assets prescribed in Schedule II to the Act and as per material accounting policies of the Company.

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

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report
including Annexures to Board''s Report and Business Responsibility Report, but does not include the financial
statements and our Auditor''s Report thereon.

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

In connection with our audit of the 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 financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the other information, which we will obtain after the date of the auditor''s report and if we
conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those
charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged With Governance for the 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 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) 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 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, 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 management either intends 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
skepticism 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 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 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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matter. We describe this matter 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.
