Mar 31, 2026

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Meenakshi India Limited (the ''Company''), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive
Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of the material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred
to as the "Financial Statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial
statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (the ''Act'') in the manner so required
and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act
read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended ("Ind AS”) and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2026, and its profit, total comprehensive
income, cash flows and changes in equity 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 Auditors'' Responsibilities for
the Audit of the 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 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
financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements for the financial year ended March 31,2026. 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. 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 Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of
our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed
to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit
procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on
the accompanying financial statements.

Key audit matters

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Verification of Inventory and Valuation
thereof

The total inventory of the Company
amounting to '' 2,369.10 lakhs (as at March
31, 2026) forms about 14.63% of the total
assets of the Company.

Our Audit procedures based on which we arrived at the conclusion regarding
reasonableness of determination of year-end inventory and valuation thereof
include the following:

• The Company has a procedure for physical verification of inventories
at regular intervals during the year by the Internal Auditors and the
management;

• The Company carried out physical verification in April 2026;

Key audit matters

How the matter was addressed in our audit

This includes raw material such as fabric,
trims, finished garments etc., which are
spread across multiple production units.

• We performed independent physical verification from April 09, 2026 to
April 11,2026;

• We reviewed the report submitted by the Company and obtained
reasons/explanations for the variations observed with reference to the
book records;

• We applied alternative procedures for verification of inventories as at
the year-end by applying roll-back principles and carrying out relevant
adjustments for receipts and issues. Material variations and discrepancies,
after considering reasonable allowances, were duly adjusted with
reference to subsequent movements and discrepancies/adjustments
pursuant to the last such verification carried out;

• We verified the accuracy of adjustments made for receipts and
consumption to arrive at the physical stock as at March 31,2026; and

• We examined the valuation process/methodology and checks
performed at multiple levels to ensure that the valuation was consistent
with the accounting policy followed in this respect.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is one of the key profit drivers and
is therefore susceptible to misstatement.

Cut-off is the key assertion insofar as
revenue recognition is concerned. There
is a risk that revenue is recognised on sale
of goods around the year-end without
substantial transfer of control and is not
in accordance with Ind AS 115 - Revenue
from Contracts with Customers.

Principal Audit Procedures performed:

Our audit procedures included testing of the design and operating
effectiveness of internal controls and substantive procedures, as follows:

• We obtained an understanding of the process and evaluated the design,

implementation and operating effectiveness of management''s internal
controls in relation to revenue recognition from sale of goods. We tested
the Company''s controls over the timing of revenue recognition around
the year-end.

• We performed cut-off testing on selected sales transactions recorded

before and after the year-end to assess whether revenue was recognised
in the appropriate accounting period in accordance with the terms of
sale and transfer of control to the customer.

• We traced selected sales transactions to supporting documents, including

invoices, dispatch documents and proof of delivery, as applicable,
to assess whether the related revenue had been recognised in the
appropriate period.

Information other than Financials statements and Auditor''s Report thereon:

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Directors'' Report including annexures thereto, Management Discussion and Analysis Report and Business
Responsibility Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The other information
is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above
when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.

When we read the other information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance as required under SA 720 (Revised),"The Auditor''s Responsibilities
Relating to Other Information”

Responsibilities of Management and those charged with governance for the Financial Statements

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act”)
with respect to the preparation of these 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 Indian Accounting Standards 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 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 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, 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 is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism 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 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; and

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the 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 the aggregate, makes it
probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the 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) evaluating 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 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 for the 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.
