EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 RELATING TO THE AFORESAID SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS :

Item No. 1 and 2:

At the 67[th] Annual General Meeting of the Company, held on September 11, 2014, the Members of the Company, through a Special Resolution, had approved the borrowing limit, under Section 180(1)(c) and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, not exceeding ₹ 650 Crores (Rupees Six Hundred and Fifty Crores only).

Further, at the 77[th] Annual General Meeting of the Company, held on August 29, 2024, the Members of the Company, had accorded their consent through a Special Resolution, for creation of charge(s) on properties of the Company, both present and future, in line with Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013, subject to borrowing limits approved under Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013, at the 67[th] Annual General Meeting of the Company.

The Company is into business of manufacturing capital goods and execution of turnkey projects. It requires Bank Guarantees of various maturities to be submitted to its customers at various stages such as submitting quotations, signing contracts, receiving advances against orders, offering product warranties at the time of deliveries and release of retention monies. The bank guarantees facilities extended by the Banks to the Company, though they are non-fund based and secured, are treated by the banks as “borrowings” within meaning of Section 180(1)(a) and 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013. The Company also avails of Cash Credit facilities, also treated as “borrowings” under the said Sections, from its banks to bridge working capital gap. This increase in borrowings and creation of charge of up to ₹ 1500 crores is specifically meant to address the increase in non-fund based bank facilities required as elaborated above consequent to planned substantial expansion of transformer manufacturing capacity

In terms of provisions of section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the relevant Rules, if any, made there under, the Board of Directors of the Company shall not, apart from temporary loans obtained or to be obtained from the Company's bankers in the ordinary course of business, except with the consent of the Shareholders, by way of Special Resolution, borrow monies in excess of the aggregate of the paid-up equity share capital of the Company, Free Reserves and Securities Premium.

==> picture [158 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

Also, in terms of Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the relevant Rules, if any, made there under, the Board of Directors of the Company shall not, except with the consent of Members by Special Resolution, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking of the company or where the company owns more than one undertaking, of the whole or substantially the whole of any of such undertakings.

Accordingly, the Board at its Meeting held on October 16, 2025, approved and recommended to the Members of the Company, to increase the borrowing limit of the Company, which may exceed at any time, the aggregate of the paid-up equity share capital of the Company and its free reserves and securities premium but that shall not, at any time exceed ₹ 1500 Crores, in line with the provisions of Section 180(1)(c) and other applicable of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules made thereunder.

The said proposed enhanced borrowings of the Company may, if necessary, be secured by way of charge / mortgage / hypothecation / security on the Company's assets in favour of the lenders / holders of said securities. As the documents to be executed between the lenders / security holders and the Company may contain provisions to provide substantial assets of the Company in certain events, it is necessary to obtain fresh approval of the Members of the Company, by means of a Special Resolution under Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013, to enable the Board of Directors of the Company to create charge / mortgage / hypothecation / security on all or any of the movable and / or such other securities as may be available, tangible or intangible assets of the Company, both present and future and / or the whole or any part of the undertaking(s) of the Company together with the power to provide the substantial assets of the Company in certain events in favour of the Lender(s), Agent(s) and other bodies / persons, to secure the borrowings of the Company, availed / to be availed by way of loan(s) and / or Securities (comprising secured premium notes / floating rates / notes / bonds or other debt instruments), issued / to be issued by the Company, from time to time, within the overall limits of the borrowing powers of the Board of Directors as determined from time to time by the members of the Company, pursuant to Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013.

As the Company is scaling up its manufacturing capacities, its requirement of the aforesaid banking facilities will also increase. Accordingly, the Board at its Meeting held on October 16, 2025, approved and recommended to the Members of the Company, to increase the limit for creating charge on the movable and such other securities of the Company, as may be available, both present and future, to secure the borrowings granted earlier of ₹ 650 Crores to ₹ 1500 Crores, in line with the provisions of Section 180(1)(a) and other applicable of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules made thereunder.
