Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of Standalone Financial Statements
in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) 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 Financia
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 (âICAI") together
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of
the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the ICAI''s 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.
We draw attention to the following matters in Note 25.17 of
the Standalone Financial Statements:
The Hon''ble National Company Law Tribunal, pursuant to
the order dated 3rd October, 2024 (NCLT order), approved the
scheme of amalgamation amongst Pitti Engineering Limited
(âPEL"), Pitti Castings Private Limited (âPCPL") and Pitti Rail and
Engineering Components Limited (âPRECL") with the appointed
date of 1st April, 2023 (Scheme). The statement of audited
Standalone Financial Statements of the Company, for the
quarter and year ended 31st March, 2024, have been restated
to give the effect of amalgamation.
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 the
Standalone Financial Statements of the financial year ended
31st March, 2025. 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. We have determined that there are
no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Company''s Board of Directors 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 and Sustainability Report, Corporate Governance
and Shareholder''s Information, but does not include the
Standalone Financial Statements, Consolidated 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 on the other
information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor''s
report, 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.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED
WITH GOVERNANCE 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 and presentation of these Standalone Financial
Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance, changes in equity including
other comprehensive income, and cash flows 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 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 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 are also responsible for overseeing the
financial reporting process of the Company.
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, specified under
section 143(10) 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 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing
our opinion on whether the Company has an adequate
internal financial control with reference to standalone
financials 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
Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosures
are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusion 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
of the current period 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance 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 and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/loss and other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance 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 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 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, the Management and the Board of the 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 financial reporting process of the Company.
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, specified under section 143(10) 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 financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)0) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has an adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financials 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 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.
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 of the current period 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.
Corresponding figures for the year ended 31st March 2022 have been audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion dated 23rd May 2022 on the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2022. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements is not modified in respect of this matter.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Pitti Engineering Limited (âthe Companyâ) (formerly known as Pitti Laminations Limited) as of 31st March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
MANAGEMENTâS RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS
The Companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (âICAIâ). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act 2013.
AUDITORâS RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and
(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
OPINION
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
