the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2025 and its profit (financial performance
including other comprehensive income), the changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on
that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
3. We conducted our audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing (SAs) 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 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 Standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules there under,
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 qualified opinion.
Qualification
4. a. The company has not provided/ paid interest of Rs 0.57 Lakhs for the year on delayed payment to
parties covered under the provisions of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act,
2006. Refer note no 16.2 to the financial statements.

provided for in view of waiver of interest for the current year received from lenders.
c. We draw attention to Note No. 31 to the financial statements, which states that the Company''s
accumulated losses have exceeded its net worth as at the balance sheet date. Notwithstanding this,
the financial statements have been prepared by the management on a going concern basis.
Subsequent to the year end, the Company has made a preferential allotment of equity shares on
May 8, 2025, for a total consideration of Rs1,965.00 lakhs (including share premium), resulting in a
positive net worth.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matters.
Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report thereon
6. 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 financial statements
and our auditor''s report thereon.
7. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
8. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information 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. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is 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 Financial Statements
9. 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 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 Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also
includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for
safeguarding 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
statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
10. In preparing the 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.
11. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
12. 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 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 financial statements.
13. As part of an audit in accordance with Standard on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
a. 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.
b. 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 and its subsidiary
companies which are companies incorporated in India, has adequate internal financial controls
system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
d. 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 ability of the Company 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.
e. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
17. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2020 (âthe Orderâ), issued by the Central
Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013, we give
in the âAnnexure Aâ a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the
