The Company has received a notice in writing under Section 160 of the Companies Act, 2013 from a Member proposing candidature of Mr. Shailendra Roy for the office of the Director of the Company.
Mr. Shailendra Roy was responsible for business operations of L&T in the Power (coal, nuclear and gas-based) sector, and Corporate Affairs. He oversaw various joint venture companies which were envisioned to cater to India's infrastructure and power requirements – including manufacture of supercritical and ultra-supercritical boilers and turbines and generators, axial fans and development of requisite engineering prowess to set up India's most efficient power plants. The first supercritical power plant with indigenously built boiler, turbine and generator at Rajpura, Punjab and India's first ultra-supercritical power plant at NTPC Khargone came to fruition under his stewardship. Five more supercritical power plants for the state utilities of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra and an IPP in Madhya Pradesh are in operation – all executed under his leadership. Under him, L&T made a foray into international market winning four gas-based projects and completing three of them in Bangladesh.
He also established a new line of business in the Power fold - the 'Enviro Systems Group' to specially address concerns of pollution from thermal power plants. Under his able leadership, L&T also adopted the technology for removal of Sulphur dioxide – currently being installed at 28 thermal power plant units across the country. Separately, technology for removal of oxides of nitrogen from power plant emissions was also adopted.
Under him, L&T's state-of-the-art facilities that are in sync with the 'Make in India' initiative, have set global benchmarks in scale and sophistication. The JV with NPCIL, which was under him, provides a major strategic and sustainable alternative to the import of heavy forgings for India's nuclear program. He also initiated L&T's entry into development of power projects (thermal, solar & hydro), shipbuilding, substations, transmission lines, railway electrification, highways and transportation and was responsible for the growth of such new business ventures. Earlier, he spearheaded L&T Heavy Engineering, which is recognized as one of the world's top 5 heavy fabricators and whose plants have been awarded the Sword of Honour by the British Safety Council. He was instrumental in driving L&T's focus towards missile, air defence, bridging systems, avionics and weapon systems, making it the largest private sector partner in India's Defence sector winning a prestigious order of 100 units of K9-Vajra Howitzer from the Govt. of India and a critical partner in India's aerospace endeavor - ISRO's Chandrayaan mission. Under him L&T also won and delivered various steam generators and end shields for Pressurized Heavy Water (PHW) nuclear reactors. L&T Power Training Institute was set up under his guidance to impart knowledge by experts. Besides training in-house engineers, the institute extends its services to customers, engineering students and faculty members. He is also a vocal proponent for adoption of industry 4.0 to boost the sector.
Mr. Roy, over the years, has been the voice of the Indian industry, representing it in various forums, raising matters having national and global impact. He has been a vital part of FICCI and CII think-tanks, presenting roadmaps of growth and development to the policy makers.

Ratification and Waiver of recovery of remuneration paid to Mr. Srinivasan during F.Y. 2020-21
Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 197 and 198 of the Companies Act 2013 ("the Act"), read with Schedule V of the Act, a company having inadequate profits or losses calculated under Section 198 of the Act in any financial year, can pay remuneration to its managerial personnel for such financial year, subject to the requisite approval of members and in conformity with the conditions prescribed in Section 197 read with Schedule V of the Act.
Owing to the provisions against doubtful advances made to erstwhile promoters and their affiliate companies / erstwhile connected parties, provisions against loans given to subsidiaries and impairment provisions made, the Company is expected to incur losses or have inadequate profits for the financial year 2020-21 as calculated in terms of Section 198 of the Act, for determination of managerial remuneration
In terms of Section 197 of the Act, if any director draws or receives, directly or indirectly, by way of remuneration any such sums in excess of the prescribed limits under the said section, then such director shall refund such sums to the company, within two years or such lesser period as may be allowed by the company, and until such sum is refunded, the director shall hold such sum in trust for the company. However, Section 197(10) of the Act provides that the members of the company can ratify and waive off the recovery of such sums by passing a special resolution.
In view of the above and in anticipation of the losses or inadequate profit that is likely to be incurred for the financial year 2020-21, the Company is seeking approval of the members for ratification and waiver of recovery of remuneration paid to Mr. N Srinivasan for the financial year 2020-21 in terms of Section 197 of the Act read with Schedule V thereto. The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the remuneration paid to Mr. N Srinivasan is justified in terms of his key role within the Company.
Further, as per the requirement of Schedule V of the Companies Act, 2013, in case of loss or inadequacy of profits in any of the financial year during his tenure i.e. from 26th November 2020 up to 25th November 2022, if there is also a default in payment of dues in the said financial years to any bank or public financial institution concerned or the non-convertible debenture holders, if any, or any other secured creditor, as the case may be, then the Company shall obtain the requisite approval from such bank or public financial institution concerned or the non-convertible debenture holders or other secured creditor, as the case may be for the payment of remuneration to Mr. Srinivasan in such financial year.
Mr. Srinivasan does not hold any equity shares in the Company either in his individual capacity, or beneficially for others and is not related to any Director or Key Managerial Personnel of the Company.
The Company remains committed to pursue the long term interest of all its stakeholders and consider it necessary to retain high caliber talent to steer the Company through this difficult period and improve the performance of the Company. This requires that the Company's leadership team shall be appropriately remunerated.
The Board considers that Mr. Srinivasan's contribution to the Company would be of immense benefit and accordingly, the Board recommends the Ordinary Resolution at Item No. 7 and Special Resolutions at Item Nos. 8 and 9 of this Notice, for the approval of the Members of the Company.
Other details of Mr. N Srinivasan as stipulated under Regulation 36 of the SEBI LODR and SS–2 are provided in the Annexure to this Explanatory Statement.
