Independent Auditors' Report on the Quarterly and Annual Audited Standalone Financial Results of the
Company Pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2015, as amended.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying statement of quarterly and annual standalone financial results of HFCL Limited
(the "Company") for the quarter ended March 31 , 2024 and for the year ended March 31, 2024 ("the Statement") ,
attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements 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:
i) is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Regulations in this regard ; and
ii) give a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian
Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit
and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for the quarter and year
ended March 31, 2024.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) 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 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
("ICAl")n 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 obtained by us is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
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 income of the Company and other financial information in accordance with
the applicable Indian accounting standards (Ind AS) 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.
S Bhandari & Co LLP Oswal Sunil & Com pany
Chartered Accountants Chartered Accou ntants
In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to conh nue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern o asis 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.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
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 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 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 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.
• Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directors in terms of
the requirements specified under Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.
• 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 . If we conclude that a
material uncertaintv. 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Results that, individually or in aggregate,
makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Results
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
Standalone Financial Results.

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.
Other Matter
The Statement includes the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 being the balancing figure between the
audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31, 2024 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. Our opinion on the statement is not modified in respect of this matter.
