Statement of Profit and Loss, (including other Comprehensive
Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes
in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone
financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information. (Herein

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 (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 31st
March, 2025, its Profit (including other comprehensive income), its
Cash Flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year
ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further described
in the Auditorâs 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
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone
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 opinion.
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 financial statements
as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition, we have
determined the matters described below as Key Audit Matters
and our description of how our audit addressed the matter is

The Companyâs board of directors is responsible for the
preparation of the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Boardâs Report including
Annexures to Boardâs Report, Business Responsibility Report but
does not include the standalone financial statements and our
auditorâs report thereon. The aforesaid documents are expected
to be made available to us after the date of this auditorâs report.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 financial statements,
our responsibility is to read the other information 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 during the course of our 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 Companyâs 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 including other comprehensive income,
cash flows and the statement of 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 Companies (Indian
Accounting Standard) 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
implementation and maintenance of 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
statement 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 is
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 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
Companyâs 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 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:
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 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.
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 financial
statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes 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 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.

(Herein after referred to as "Standalone Financial Statements").
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 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 statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Key Audit Matters |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Revenue is one of the key profit drivers and is therefore susceptible to misstatement. Cut-off is the key assertion in so far as revenue recognition is concerned since an inappropriate cut-off can result in material misstatement of results for the year. The Company manufactures and sells a number of products to its customers. The Company reviews it sales contracts as per AS-115 for determining the principles for recognizing revenue in accordance with the new standard. |
Principal audit procedures: a) Our audit procedures with regard to revenue recognition included testing controls, automated and manual, around dispatches/deliveries, inventory reconciliations and circularization of receivable balances, substantive testing for cut-offs and analytical review procedures. b) Selected a sample of contracts and through inspection of evidence of performance of these controls, tested the operating effectiveness of the internal controls relating to the identification of performance obligations and timing of revenue recognition. c) Selected a sample of contracts and reassessed contractual terms to determine adherence to the requirements of the new accounting standard. |

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditorsâ 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 Board''s Report including Annexures to Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The aforesaid documents are 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 do 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
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 during the course of our 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.
Managementâs 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 ("the Actâ) 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 the statement of 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 Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) 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 implementation and maintenance of 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 statement 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 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 are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS 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 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 financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes 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 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.

Inherent Limitation of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 over financial reporting to future period are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

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 financial statements are
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and the 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 an adequate internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating
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.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
No provision has been made for Leave Benefits to employees in
accordance with Accounting Standard 15. The impact of the same is
unascertainable on the profit and corresponding liabilities for the
year.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements
subject to our comments stated in basis for qualified opinion paragraph
the impact of which is currently unascertainable, 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, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2015,
and its profit and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Other Matters
The company has not disclosed the composition of Defined Benefit
Obligations, Fair Value of Planned Assets, Actuarial assumptions used
etc. for Gratuity as required by Accounting Standard-15, Employee
Benefits. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
