STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE ACT

Item Nos. 1 & 2 - Increase in the borrowing powers of the Company and Creation of charge/security on the Company’s assets with respect to borrowing

Vide special resolutions dated 15 March 2020 passed by postal ballot, the Members of the Company had accorded their consent to the Board of Directors to borrow money(ies) for the purposes of the business of the Company not exceeding Rs. 160,000 crore (including the temporary loans obtained/to be obtained from the Company’s bankers in the ordinary course of business) in terms of Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) and creation of mortgages, charges, liens, hypothecation and/or other securities of the Company’s assets and properties, both present and future, whether movable or immovable, including the whole or substantially the whole of the Company’s undertaking or undertakings, for securing the borrowings up to a limit of Rs. 160,000 crore in terms of Section 180(1)(a) of the Act.

The existing standalone borrowing of the Company as on 31 December 2021 is ~ Rs. 114,093 crore. Considering the present level of borrowings and the future business plan of the Company, it is proposed to enhance the existing borrowing limit from Rs. 160,000 crore up to Rs. 225,000 crore. The Board of Directors may resort to further borrowings, inter alia, by way of loans/ financial assistance from various bank(s)/financial institution(s) and other lender(s), issue of debentures/bonds/commercial paper, other debt instruments, acceptance of fixed deposits, corporate deposits, triparty REPO or any other permissible modes.

These borrowings may also have to be secured by creation of mortgages, charges, liens, hypothecation and/or other securities of the Company’s assets and properties, both present and future, whether movable or immovable, including the whole or substantially the whole of the Company’s undertaking or undertakings, in favour of such bank(s)/financial institution(s)/other lender(s)/debenture trustee/security trustee/ fixed deposits trustee.

Pursuant to provisions of Section 180(1)(c) of the Act, the Board of Directors may exercise power to borrow money in excess of paid-up share capital, free reserves and securities premium with the approval of Members by way of a special resolution. Accordingly, it is proposed to seek approval of the Members for increase in borrowing limits from Rs. 160,000 crore to Rs. 225,000 crore which is in excess of the limits prescribed under the Act.

Further, in terms of Section 180(1)(a) of the Act, any proposal to sell, lease or otherwise dispose off the whole, or substantially the whole of the undertaking or undertakings, requires the approval of the Members by way of a special resolution. Accordingly, it is proposed to seek approval of Members by way of an enabling resolution for creating charge/security on the Company’s assets with respect to aforesaid borrowings.

The Board recommends passing of the special resolutions as set out in item nos. 1 and 2 of this Notice.

None of the Directors, key managerial personnel and their relatives are concerned or interested, directly or indirectly, financially or otherwise, in these resolutions except to the extent of their respective shareholding, if any, in the Company.
