Dear Sir/Madam,

Sub: Intimation on the outcome of the Board Meeting held on March 31, 2026

1. Closure of operations of the Refinery Unit of the Wholly Owned Subsidiary, M/s. Parry Sugars Refinery India Private Limited:

In compliance with Regulation 30(6), read with Para 8(2) of Part A of Schedule Ill of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements), Regulations, 2015, ("Listing Regulations"), we hereby inform you that the Board of Directors of the wholly owned subsidiary, M/s. Parry Sugars Refinery India Private Limited ("PSRIPL"), and of the Company, at their respective meetings held today (March 31, 2026), have, inter alia, approved the closure of operations of the refinery unit of PSRIPL with effect from the close of working hours on March 31, 2026.

PSRIPL had established a sugar refinery at Vakalapudi Village, East Godavari, Kakinada in 2006 as a 2,000 TPD SEZ-based export-oriented unit. The original business model was built on importing raw sugar, refining it into white sugar, and exporting the refined sugar to global markets where white sugar commanded a significant premium. At the time of conceptualisation, the global white premium levels were quite attractive, making the project commercially viable. The project economics were also premised on the assured availability of natural gas at Kakinada and generation of surplus power to the Power Grid at a tariff which made the proposal commercially attractive.

However, over the years, several structural shifts materially eroded the fundamentals on which the business model was built. Non-availability of natural gas resulted in investments in coal boiler thereby increasing the operating costs. Further to this, sharp decline in white premiums reduced the spreads and power export revenue dropped to one third of the original projections. In addition, there were shutdowns due to factory accidents, substantial demurrage charges, inventory write-off, hedge losses and high finance cost, which cumulatively have resulted in significant increase in accumulated losses. The accumulated losses as of March 31, 2025, were around Rs. 1,406 Crores. The current geo-political outlook is very challenging.

Despite sustained efforts to improve operational efficiencies, optimise the product mix, reduce costs, and stabilise spreads, the business is unable to overcome the combined internal and external, current and potential challenges. The refinery is, therefore, assessed to be no longer structurally viable.

As of March 31, 2026, the total estimated liabilities of PSRIPL amount to Rs. 998 crores, which includes bank borrowings of Rs. 877 crores backed by support from the Company. Based on the estimated realisation of assets, net of other liabilities, PSRIPL expects to be able to settle Rs. 137 crores of these bank borrowings. The remaining Rs. 740 crores will need to be settled t-

funds infused by the Company in the form of equity and loans. From the above fresh equity/ loan infusion, it is estimated that the Company will need to create a provision of approximately Rs. 655 crores (across FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27). In addition, the Company will need to impair the current carrying value of its investment in PSRIPL, amounting to Rs. 46 crores. The Company has adequate funds as of date to meet these requirements.

The detailed disclosure with respect to the closure as required under Regulation 30(6) read with Para B of Part A of Schedule Ill of the Listing Regulations and the SEBI Master Circular No. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/l/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026, is enclosed herewith as Annexure I.
