view in conformity with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as
at March 31, 2026, its loss including other comprehensive
income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year
ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone 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 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 financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements for the financial year ended
March 31, 2026. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the standalone financial statements
as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 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

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 financial statements and our
auditor''s report thereon.
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
and, in doing so, consider whether such other information
is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
The Annual Report is not made available to us as at the date of
this auditor''s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Management for the
Standalone 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 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 financial statements that give
a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements,
management 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 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 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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone 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 financial
statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026
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.
