For this purpose related party transaction shall be considered as material if the transaction(s) to be entered into, either individually or taken together with previous transactions during a financial year, exceed(s) Rs. 1,000 crores, or 10% of the annual consolidated turnover as per the last audited financial statements of the listed entity, whichever is lower.
