Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters ('KAM') are those matters that, in ourprofessional judgment, were of most significance in our auditof the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period.These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of theStandalone Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming ouropinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion onthese matters. We have determined the matters described belowto be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
1. Capitalisation of Property, Plant, and Equipment
As at March 31, 2026, the Company's Property, Plant &Equipment (PPE) stands at Rs. 70,765 Lakhs and CapitalWork-in-Progress (CWIP) at Rs. 3,212 Lakhs, togetherrepresenting the largest category of assets on the balancesheet. During the year, the Company continued itsexpansion activities, including the Raipur hospital projectand upgrades at the Gurgaon facility. The capitalizationof PPE involves significant management judgment indetermining the point at which assets are ready for theirintended use, the allocation of directly attributable costs,and the estimation of useful lives and residual values. Themagnitude of the balances and the degree of judgmentinvolved make this a Key Audit Matter.
Principal Audit Procedures:
• Evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of internalcontrols over the capitalization process, including costaccumulation, and transfer from CWIP to PPE;
• Tested a sample of capital additions during the year for properauthorization, supporting documentation, and accurateclassification between revenue and capital expenditure;
• Assessed management's judgment on the date of readiness forintended use, and medical equipment installations;
• Verified the allocation of directly attributable costs, includingborrowing costs capitalized in accordance with Ind AS 23;
• Reviewed the useful lives and depreciation rates applied to verifyconsistency with Ind AS 16 and Schedule II of the Companies Act,2013;
• Performed physical verification of assets on a sample basis andagreed to the fixed asset register; and
• Assessed the ageing and composition of CWIP to identify any itemsrequiring impairment consideration or delayed capitalization.
Based on our audit procedures, we did not identify any materialmisstatement in the capitalization of PPE and CWIP as at March 31,2026. The capitalization policies and useful life estimates applied bymanagement were found to be reasonable and consistent with theapplicable accounting framework.
2. Allowance for expected Credit Loss related to Trade receivables
As at March 31, 2026, the Company's trade receivablesstand at INR 11,145 Lakhs (net). The estimation ofExpected Credit Loss (ECL) under Ind AS 109 requiressignificant management judgment in developing theprovision matrix, determining the grouping of receivableswith similar credit risk characteristics, and assessingthe recoverability of aged balances — particularly fromgovernment and TPA channels where settlement cyclesare inherently longer. This is identified as a Key AuditMatter due to the complexity and degree of estimationinvolved.
• Evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of internalcontrols over the trade receivable ageing process and ECLcomputation;
• Assessed the appropriateness of the ECL provision matrix,including the grouping of receivables by customer category (TPAs,insurance, government schemes, corporate, individual) and ageingbuckets;
• Tested the accuracy and completeness of the ageing analysisby reconciling to the general ledger and verifying a sample ofreceivable balances to supporting documentation;
• Evaluated the historical loss rates used by management and theirconsistency with actual write-off experience;
• Assessed the incorporation of forward-looking information andmacroeconomic factors in the ECL model; and
• Verified the adequacy of disclosures in the financial statements inaccordance with Ind AS 107 and Ind AS 109.
Based on our audit procedures, the ECL provision recognized bymanagement was found to be reasonable. The methodology andassumptions used in the provision matrix are consistent with therequirements of Ind AS 109 and adequately reflect the credit riskprofile of the Company's receivable portfolio as at March 31, 2026.

When we read the Company's annual report and if we concludethat there is a material misstatement therein, we are requiredto communicate the matter to those charged with governanceand shall take appropriate actions, if required.
If, based on the work performed, we conclude that there isa material misstatement of this other information, we arerequired to report that fact. We have nothing to report in thisregard.
Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors forthe Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation and presentation of these Standalone FinancialStatements that give a true and fair view of the financialposition, financial performance including other comprehensiveincome, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company inaccordance with the accounting principles generally acceptedin India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)specified under Section 133 of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventingand detecting frauds and other irregularities; selectionand application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;and design, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation of theStandalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair viewand are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the Board ofDirectors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations or has no realistic alternativebut to do so.
Those Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing theCompany's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe Annual Standalone Financial Statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)
(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the Company has an adequate internalfinancial controls system with reference to the StandaloneFinancial statement in place and the operating effectivenessof such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by the Management and Boardof Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management and Boardof Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether amaterial uncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the appropriateness ofthis assumption. If we conclude that material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the StandaloneFinancial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause theCompany to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe Annual Standalone Financial Statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the Annual Standalone FinancialStatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in theStandalone Financial Statements that, individually or in theaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions ofa reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in:
(i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating theresults of our work, and
(ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements inthe financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with themall relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statementsof the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless lawor regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine thata matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
