We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Dr. Reddy''s Laboratories
 Limited (the Company) as at 31 March 2012, the Statement of Profit
 and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended
 on that date, annexed thereto. These financial statements are the
 responsibility of the Company''s management. Our responsibility is to
 express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
 We conducted our audit in accordance with 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.
 
 As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 (''the
 Order''), as amended, issued by the Central Government of India in terms
 of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we
 enclose in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in
 paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.
 
 Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we report
 that:
 
 (a) we have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the
 best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our
 audit;
 
 (b) in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have
 been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of
 those books;
 
 (c) the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash
 Flow Statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the
 books of account;
 
 (d) in our opinion, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss
 and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report comply with the
 accounting standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of
 the Companies Act, 1956, to the extent applicable;
 
 (e) on the basis of written representations received from the
 directors, and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we report
 that none of the directors are disqualified as at 31 March 2012 from
 being appointed as a director in terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1)
 of Section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956; and
 
 (f) in our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
 the explanations given to us, the said accounts give the information
 required by the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so required and give
 a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
 generally accepted in India:
 
 (i) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
 Company as at 31 March 2012;
 
 (ii) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the profit of
 the Company for the year ended on that date; and

 The Annexure referred to in the auditors'' report to the members of Dr.
 Reddy''s Laboratories Limited (the Company) for the year ended 31
 March 2012.  We report that:
 
 i.  (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
 particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
 assets. The Company has a regular Programme of physical verification of
 its fixed assets by which all fixed assets are verified in a phased
 manner over a period of 3 years.  In our opinion, this periodicity of
 physical verification is reasonable having regard to the size of the
 Company and the nature of its assets.  No material discrepancies were
 noticed on such verification.
 
 (b) Fixed assets disposed off during the year were not substantial and
 therefore do not affect the going concern assumption.
 
 ii.  (a) Inventories, except goods-in-transit and stocks lying with
 third parties, has been physically verified by the management during
 the year. In our opinion, the frequency of such verification is
 reasonable. For stocks lying with third parties at the year-end,
 written confirmations have been obtained.
 
 (b) In our opinion, the procedures of physical verification of
 inventories followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in
 relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business.
 
 (c) The Company is maintaining proper records of inventory. The
 discrepancies noticed on verification between the physical stocks and
 the book records were not material.
 
 iii. (a) The Company has granted loans to eleven companies (of which
 five loans are interest free) covered in the register maintained under
 Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956. The maximum amount outstanding
 during the year was '' 9,328 millions and the year-end balance of such
 loans was '' 5,851 millions.
 
 (b) In our opinion, the rate of interest and other terms and conditions
 on which loans have been granted to companies, firms or other parties
 listed in the register maintained under Section 301 of the Companies
 Act, 1956 are not, prima facie, prejudicial to the interest of the
 Company.
 
 (c) In the case of loans granted to companies, firms or other parties
 listed in the register maintained under Section 301, where stipulations
 have been made, the borrowers have been regular in repaying the
 principal amounts as stipulated and in the payment of interest.

 given to us, and having regard to the explanation that purchases of
 certain items of inventories are for the Company''s specialized
 requirements and similarly certain goods sold are for the specialized

 available to obtain comparable quotations, there is an adequate
 internal control system commensurate with the size of the Company and

 fixed assets and with regard to the sale of goods and services. We have
 not observed any major weakness in the internal control system during
 the course of the audit.

 are reasonable having regard to the prevailing market prices at the
 relevant time except for the purchases of certain items of inventories
 which are for Company''s specialized requirements and similarly for sale
 of certain goods for the specialized requirements of the buyers and for
 which suitable alternative sources are not available to obtain
 comparable quotations. However, on the basis of information and
 explanations provided, the same appear reasonable.
