(Formerly known as Kasturi Metal Composite Private Limited) ("the Company"), which comprise
the balance sheet as at 31st March 2024, and the statement of Profit and Loss, and statement of
Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred
to as "the standalone financial statements").

i

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 in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Accounting
Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts)
Rules, 2014 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of
the Company as at March 31, 2024, and profit, and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. 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 standalone financial statements under the provisions of the
Companies Act, 2013 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 on
the standalone financial statements.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report thereon
(Other Information)

The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of 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 the other information is materially
inconsistent with the standalone 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 a material misstatement of
this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard.

Responsibility of Management and those charged with Governance for the Standalone
Financial Statements

The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in
section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("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, and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards 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.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management and Board of Directors are
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 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
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.

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.
