INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF TATA MOTORS LIMITED

Report on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of

Tata Motors Limited

(“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at

March 31, 2017, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for

the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, which includes two Joint Operation Companies

on a proportionate basis.

Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation

of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive

income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company including its Joint Operation Companies in accordance with the accounting principles generally

accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act.

The respective Boards of Directors of the Company and its Joint Operation Companies are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in

accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and its Joint Operation 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

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 standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone Ind AS financial statements based on our audit.

In conducting our audit, we have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be

included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.

We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the

Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the

standalone Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The

procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial

statements, whether due to fraud or error. Inmaking those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Company’s preparation

of the standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An

audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company’s

Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the standalone Ind AS financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial

statements.
