The approval sought for the offer of securities including but not limited to Non-Convertible Debentures and/or Commercial Papers, shall be within the overall borrowing limit of the Company in terms of Section 180 of the Act. Subject to the approval of the members, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the aforesaid proposal vide its resolution dated May 12, 2025.
None of the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel, and their relatives are in any way concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in this resolution, except to the extent of their respective shareholdings, if any, in the Company.
The Board recommends the Special Resolution set out at Item No. 8 of the Notice for approval by the members.
Item nos. 9 & 10
Pursuant to the special resolution(s) passed by postal ballot on July 26, 2014, the Members authorised the Board of Directors to borrow funds, whether secured or unsecured, up to H 1,500 crore, in accordance with Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”). As at March 31, 2025, the Company’s total outstanding borrowings stood at H Nil crore.
At the time of obtaining above borrowing limit in 2014, the net worth of the Company stood at approximately H 700.69 crore. As at March 31, 2025, the Company’s net worth has more than doubled to over H 1,572.71 crore leading to increase of Rs. 872.07 crore, reflecting sustained business growth and improved financial performance over the past decade. In line with this enhanced financial capacity, and in view of the Company’s future growth plans, it is now considered prudent to revise the borrowing limit to H 3,000 crore (Rupees Three Thousand Crore only), which remains within a reasonable multiple of the current net worth.
In light of the anticipated expansion of the Company’s operations, it may become necessary to borrow funds from various domestic and international sources, which could result in total borrowings exceeding the existing limit. Authority is therefore sought to raise
funds by way of borrowings, including (but not limited to) the issue of commercial paper, debentures (secured or unsecured), medium-term notes, credit facilities, bill discounting, and other permissible instruments.
The Company’s borrowings are generally secured by way of a mortgage or charge on all or any part of its movable and/or immovable properties or assets, in such form and manner as may be required by the lenders and approved by the Board of Directors. The creation of such security, even within the borrowing powers authorised by the Members, may be construed as a disposal of the Company’s undertaking under Section 180(1)(a) of the Act.
It is, therefore, considered necessary for the Members to authorise the Board to create mortgages and/or charges on the Company’s assets, as set out in the relevant resolution, in order to secure borrowings made by the Company from time to time. Further, the provisions of Sections 180(1)(c) and 180(1)(a) of the Act require that such authorisations be approved by way of special resolution. Accordingly, the consent of the Members is being sought for the proposed special resolutions.
Your Directors accordingly recommend the increase in the Company’s borrowing powers to H 3,000 crore (Rupees Three Thousand Crore only) and the creation of security in connection with such borrowings, as detailed in Resolution Nos. 9 and 10, for the approval of the Members.
None of the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel, and their relatives are in any way concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in these resolutions, except to the extent of their respective shareholdings, if any, in the Company.
The Board recommends the special resolution(s) set out at Item Nos. 9 and 10 of the Notice for the approval of the Members.
