We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statement of GALLANTT ISPAT LIMITED ('The Company') which
comprises the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income),
the Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone
financial statements, including, material accounting policies and other explanatory information (therein after referred to as "the
standalone financial statements”), which we have signed under reference to this report.
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 (the "Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and
fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standard prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standard) 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 31,2025, the profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its
cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statement 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 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 there under, 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.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw your attention to Note No. 50 of the financial statement, relating to the search carried out by the Income Tax Department
in April 2023 concerning the Company. The related proceedings and assessment till AY 2023-24 is concluded and assessment
for the AY 2024-25 is under process. The management is of the view that assessment for the AY 2024-25 will be concluded
without any addition in the taxable income in line with the last previous years.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
financial statements for the financial year ended March 31,2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of
the standalone financial statements as a whole, and informing our opinion there on, 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.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report but does not include the financial
statements and our Auditor's Report there on. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information
and we do not express any form of assurance or conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibility 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 with respect
to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes responsible the maintenance of the 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 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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is 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 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 financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, 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 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 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 ability of the Company's to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditors 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 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 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) 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.
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 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.
