We have audited the standalone financial statements of HEMADRI CEMENTS LIMITED (âthe Companyâ),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including the
statement of Other Comprehensive Income ), the Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash
Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the âfinancial statementsâ).
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 Indian Accounting Standards
prescribed under sec 133of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)Rules,2015,as
amended,(âInd ASâ) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31,2025, its loss (financial performance including other comprehensive Income), its
cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified
under section 143(10) of the Companies Act 2013 (SAs). 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 (ICAI) together with the independence requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the 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 ICAIâs 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion on the financialstatements.
We draw attention to Note 35 of the financial statements, which states that the Company has incurred
continuous losses since the financial year 2022-23, and its net worth has been fully eroded as of 31st March
2025. The Company temporarily suspended operations in August 2024 due to adverse market conditions and
high production costs. Management considers the suspension is temporary and is taking steps to improve
operations. The Company has also received financial support from group companies and continues to
receive assurances of future funding. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit
of title 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 to the matter described in âEmphasis of Matter'' section, we have
determined that there were no key audit matters to be communicated in our audit report.
The Company''s Board of Directors and the Management are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report
including Annexures to Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and
Shareholder''s Information, 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 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. When we read these
reports if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the
matter with those charged with governance.
The Company''s Board of Directors and the Management are 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 / loss, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (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 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 financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Management 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 and the Management are responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting
process.
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 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 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 throughoutthe audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 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,
includingthe disclosures, and whetherthe standalonefinancialstatements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the 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 i dentified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit a nd 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 financial statements of the financial year ended March 31, 2025 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 the 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 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.
