AUDITOR'S REPORT

You can view full text of the latest Director's Report for the company.
Year End :2025-03 

1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Suzlon Energy Limited (‘the Company’), which
comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2025, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Cash Flow and the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity for
the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policy information
and other explanatory information, in which are included the returns for the year ended on that date audited by the branch
auditors of the Company’s branches located at the Federal Republic of Germany and the Kingdom of Netherlands.

2. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration
of the reports of the branch as referred to in paragraph 16 below, the aforesaid standalone 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 Standards (‘Ind AS’) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2025, and its profit (including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the
changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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
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 ethical requirements that are relevant
to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act 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 together with the audit evidence obtained by the branch, in terms of their reports
referred to in paragraph 16 of the Other Matter section below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

4. We draw attention to Note 1 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, which describes that pursuant to the
Scheme of Amalgamation (the ‘Scheme’) between the Company and its erstwhile wholly-owned subsidiary, namely, Suzlon
Global Services Limited (referred to as ‘Transferor Company’), as approved by the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal
vide order dated 8 May 2025, the Transferor Company has been amalgamated with the Company with effect from appointed
date of 15 August 2024. The Company has given accounting effect to the business combination in accordance with the
Scheme and the accounting principles prescribed under Appendix C of Ind AS 103, Business Combinations, applicable to
common control business combinations. Accordingly, the comparative financial information for the year ended 31 March
2024 has been restated in the accompanying standalone financial statements from the beginning of the earliest period
presented, being 01 April 2023. Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.

Key Audit Matters

5. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, and based on the consideration of the reports of
the branch auditors as referred to paragraph 16 below, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial
statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recognition and recoverability of deferred tax assets

As detailed in note 32 to the accompanying standalone
financial statements, the Company has deferred tax assets
(net) aggregating to 638.05 crore as at 31 March 2025
recognised during the current year. Refer Note 2.3(f) for
the related material accounting policy information.

The Company’s ability to recover the said deferred tax
assets is assessed by the management at the close of
each reporting period which depends on the forecasts
of the future results and taxable profits that the Company
expects to earn within the period by which such brought
forward losses, unabsorbed depreciation can be adjusted
against the taxable profits as governed by the Income-tax
Act, 1961.

The determination of projected future taxable profits
is inherently subjective and requires significant
management judgement to be exercised with respect to
key assumptions such as future growth rates and market
and economic conditions, including expected favourable
industry-focused trade policies. Any significant change in
these assumptions could have a material impact on the
carrying value of deferred tax assets.

We have identified the recognition and recoverability
of deferred tax assets on carried forward tax losses,
unabsorbed depreciation as a key audit matter for
the current year audit considering the materiality of
the amounts, complexities and significant judgements
involved, as described above.

Our audit procedures in relation to the recoverability of deferred

tax assets included, but were not limited to, the following:

• Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness
of key controls implemented by the Company over
recognition and recoverability of deferred tax assets
based on the assessment of Company’s ability to generate
sufficient taxable profits in foreseeable future allowing the
use of deferred tax assets within the time prescribed by
income tax laws

• Reconciled the future business projections with approved
business plans of the Company

• Tested the assumptions used in the aforesaid future
projections such as growth rates, expected saving, increased
utilisation of plants, etc. considering our understanding of
the business, actual historical results, other relevant existing
conditions, external data and market conditions

• Tested the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations
including those related to sensitivity analysis performed by
the management

• Performed independent sensitivity analysis to test the
impact of possible variations in key assumptions

• Reviewed the historical accuracy of the cash flow projections
prepared by the management in prior periods

• Evaluated management’s assessment of time period
available for adjustment of such deferred tax assets as per
provisions of the Income tax Act, 1961 and appropriateness
of the accounting treatment with respect to the recognition
of deferred tax assets as per requirements of Ind AS 12,
Income Taxes

• Evaluated the appropriateness and adequacy of the
disclosures made in the standalone financial statements in
respect of deferred tax assets in accordance with applicable
accounting standards

Valuation and accounting of Employee Stock Option
Plan (ESOP)

Refer Note 2.3(p) and Note 27 to the accompanying
standalone financial statements for the material accounting
policy information on share-based payments and relevant
details of share-based payment expenses incurred during
the year.

The Company has framed an ESOP scheme for its
employees approved by the shareholders of the Company
under which the Company pays remuneration to its
employees for their services in the form of equity-settled
share-based payments.

In accordance with the principles of Ind AS 102, Share
Based Payment (Ind AS 102), the fair value of the
aforesaid employee stock options granted under such
scheme determined on the grant date is recognised as
an employee benefits expense with a corresponding
increase in equity over the vesting period.

Our audit procedures in relation to valuation and accounting of

share-based payment expenses included, but were not limited

to, the following:

• Obtained an understanding of the terms and conditions of
the Company’s Employee Stock Option Plans

• Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness
of internal controls implemented by management relating to
accounting and valuation of share-based payments

• Assessed appropriateness of accounting policy adopted by
the Company in accordance with the requirements of Ind
AS 102

• Inspected approvals from appropriate authority for grant of
options during the current year

• Evaluated professional competence and objectivity of
valuation experts hired by the management for fair valuation

• Reviewed the report from valuation expert engaged by
management for options granted during current year and
tested the same for mathematical accuracy

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

The fair value is measured by external valuation experts
using Black-Scholes valuation model which requires
management to make certain key assumptions including
expected volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate,
performance factor, attrition rate and non-acceptance
factors. Further, the number of options expected to vest
is based on management’s estimation of achievement of
specified non-market performance based conditions.

Considering significant management judgment and
estimates involved as described above, this matter was
considered as a key audit matter for current year’s audit.

• Assessed reasonableness of the valuation model,
assumptions and estimates used in arriving at fair value
including expected volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest
rate, etc., by engaging auditor’s valuation experts, and
further evaluated management’s estimation of achievement
of specified non-market performance conditions basis our
understanding of the business and market conditions

• Evaluated appropriateness of disclosures made in
standalone financial statements with respect to share based
payments in accordance with applicable Indian Accounting
Standards

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

7. The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the 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.
The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

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

I n connection with our audit of the standalone 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 standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

8. The accompanying standalone financial statements have been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The
Company’s Board of Directors are 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 including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company
in accordance with the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in
India. 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 statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.

9. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.

10. 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

11. 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
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 standalone financial statements.

12. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Ý 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;

Ý 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 standalone financial statements in place and
the operating effectiveness of such controls;

Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management;

Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Directors’ 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;

Ý 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 and

Ý Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the business activities and standalone financial statements of
the Company which includes financial information of its branches to express an opinion on the standalone financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of standalone financial
statements of the Company, of which we are the independent auditors. For the branches, included in the standalone
financial statements, which have been audited by the branch auditors, such branch auditors remain responsible for
the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our
audit opinion.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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 year 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.

Other Matter

16. We did not audit the annual financial statements of two branches included in the standalone financial statements of the
Company whose annual financial statements reflects total assets of ? 68.33 crores as at 31 March 2025, total revenues of
? 130.01 crores and net cash inflows of ? 2.67 crores for the year ended on that date. These annual financial statements
have been audited by the branch auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management, and our opinion
on the standalone financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these
branches, and our report in terms of sub-section (3) of section 143 of the Act in so far as it relates to the aforesaid branches,
is based solely on the report of such branch auditors.

Further, these branches, are located outside India whose annual financial statements and other financial information
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries and which
have been audited by branch auditors under generally accepted auditing standards applicable in India. The Company’s
management has converted the financial statements of such branches from accounting principles generally accepted
in their respective countries to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have audited these conversion
adjustments made by the Company’s management. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements, in so far as it
relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of such branches is based on the report of branch auditors and
the conversion adjustments prepared by the management of the Company and audited by us.

Our opinion above on the standalone financial statements, and our report on other legal and regulatory requirements
below, are not modified in respect of the above matters with respect to our reliance on the work done by and the reports
of the branch auditors.

the Company, in respect of financial year commencing on 1 April 2024, has used an accounting software for maintaining
its books of account which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility and the same has been operated
throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software except that the audit trail feature was not
enabled at the database level for accounting software to log any direct data changes as described in Note 46.5 to the
standalone financial statements. Further, during the course of our audit we did not come across any instance of audit
trail feature being tampered with, in respect of the accounting software where such feature is enabled. Furthermore,
the audit trail has been preserved by the Company as per the statutory requirements for record retention.
