We have audited the standalone financial statements
of Epigral Limited ("the Companyâ), 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 standalone
financial statements, including a summary of
material accounting policies and other explanatory
information(hereinafter referred to as "Standalone
Financial 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,
as amended ("the Actâ) in the manner so required
and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at March
31, 2026, its profit 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 standalone financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of
the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards
are further described in the âAuditorâs Responsibilities
for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statementsâ
section of our report. We are independent of the
Company in accordance with the âCode of Ethicsâ
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 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone
financial statements.
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, 2026. 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. 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 Auditorâs responsibilities for the
audit of the standalone 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 standalone
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 standalone
financial statements.

We obtained and read the terms of customer contracts on a ? We have tested on sample basis sales transactions and inspected ? We have tested on sample basis transactions near year end date ? Assessed the relevant disclosures in Standalone Financial |
We have determined that there are no other key audit
matters to communicate in our report.
The Companyâs Board of Directors is 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 auditorâs 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
such other information is materially inconsistent with
the financial statements or our knowledge obtained
in the 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. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible
for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act
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, cash flows
and changes in equity 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 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 standalone financial statements,
management is responsible for assessing the
Companyâs 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for
overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
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
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
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 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 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 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 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,
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 for the financial year
ended March 31, 2026 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.

Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|
(a) Revenue recognition (as described in Note 2 of the Standalone Financial Statements) |
|

The Company majorly generates revenue from sale of Chlor-Alkali and its Derivatives products. The Company recognises revenue from sales of goods in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, measured at fair value of consideration received or receivable in the ordinary course of its activities. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised net of discounts, rebates and taxes. Certain terms in sales arrangements relating to timing for transfer of control to the customer and delivery specifications including incoterms, involves significant judgement in determining whether the revenue is recognised in the correct period. |
Our audit procedures included the following: > Read and evaluated the Companyâs policy for revenue recognition and assessed its compliance with Ind AS 115 âRevenue from contracts with customersâ. > Assessed the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls related to revenue.. > Performed on test check basis, sales transactions and inspected the underlying sales orders, invoice copies, terms of delivery, lorry receipts, bill of lading, and collection as per the terms of the contract with customers. > Performed on test check basis, transactions near year end date as well as credit notes issued after the year end date. > Assessed the relevant disclosures in Standalone Financial Statements for compliance with disclosure requirements. |
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
The Companyâs Board of Directors is 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 auditorâs 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 such other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the 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. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act 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, cash flows and changes in equity 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 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 Standalone Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companyâs 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 for the financial year ended March 31, 2024 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.
