REVIEW' REPORT

To
The Board of Directors,
Primo Chemicals Ltd (Formerly Known as Punjab Alkalies & Chemicals Limited),
Bay No.46-50, Sector 31A,
Chandigarh - 160030

1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited standalone financial results of Primo Chemicals Ltd
(Formerly Known as Punjab Alkalies & Chemicals Limited) for the quarter & Half Year ended 30" September 2024.
This statement is the responsibility of the Company's Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors.
Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review.

2. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review of Engagement (SRE) 2410
"Review ofInterim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity', issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate
assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to
inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance
than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

3. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
accompanying statement of unaudited financial results prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards
and other recognised accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in
terms of Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure
requirements) Regulations, 2015, Including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material
misstatement.

assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to
inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance
than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
