separate financial statements and other financial information regarding
components. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these

2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion
3. We report that the Consolidated Financial Statements (CFS) have
been prepared by the Company in accordance with the requirements of
