Independent Auditor's Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Audited Standalone Financial
Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended

To
The Board of Directors of
Berger Paints India Limited

Report on the audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying statement of quarterly and year to date standalone financial results
of Berger Paints India Limited (the "Company") for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and for the year
ended March 31, 2025 ("Statement"), attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to
the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2015, as amended (the "Listing Regulations").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, , the
Statement:

1. is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and
11. gives a true and fair view in conformity with the applicable accounting standards and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit and other comprehensive
loss/income and other financial information of the Company for the quarter ended March 31,
2025 and for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
section 143( I 0) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (''the Act"). Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone
Financial Results" 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 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 obtained by us is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Management's Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Board
of Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that
gives a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive loss/income of the Company and
other financial information in accordance with the applicable accounting standards prescribed under
Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. 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 Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.

In preparing the Statement, the 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 ofaccounting unless the Board of Directors 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 Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's .Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 nigh 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 the Statement.

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 Statement, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtai.n 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 the Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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. lfwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention
in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial results 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 Statement, including the disclosures,
and whether the Statement represents 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.
S.R. BArL1Bo1 & Co. LLP
Chartered Accountants

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.

Other Matter

The Statement includes the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 being the balancing figure
between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31, 2025 and the published
unaudited year-to-date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year, which were subjected
to a limited review by us, as required under the Listing Regulations.

accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated net profit and other

March 31, 2025 and for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with. the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under
Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated
Financial Results" section of our report. We are independent of the Group and its joint ventures in
accordance with the 'Code of Ethics' issued by the institute of Chartered Accountants of lndia 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 bel ieve that the audit evidence
obtained by us and other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in "Other Matter" paragraph below,
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Management's Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements. The
Holding Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Statement that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive loss and other financial
information of the Group including its joint ventures in accordance with the appl icable accounting
standards prescribed under section 1 33 of tbe Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing
Regulations. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint
ventures are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of their respective companies 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 Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by
the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group
and of its joint ventures are responsible for assessing the ability of their respective companies 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 real istic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint ventures are
also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of their respective companies.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
S.R. BArL1Bo1 & Co. LLP
Chartered Accountants

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. M isstatements 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 the Statement.

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 Statement, 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 1 43(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 the Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 ability of the Group and
its joint ventures 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
Statement 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 Group and its joint ventures to cease to continue as a going
concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the
disclosures, and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regardi ng the financial results/financial
information of the entities within the Group and its joint ventures of which we are the
independent auditors to express an opinion on the Statement. We are responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial information of such entities
included in the Statement of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities
included in the Statement, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors
remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by
them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities
included in the Statement of which we are the independent auditors 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.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the Master Circular issued by the Securities
