EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013

Item no. 1: Approval for appointment of Mr. Alok Raj, IRS (Retd.) (DIN: 10390709) as an Independent Director of the Company

1. Board and NRC Recommendation: The Board of Directors presents this Explanatory Statement for the appointment of Mr. Alok Raj (DIN: 10390709) as an Independent Director of the Company.

The Nomination & Remuneration Committee (“NRC”), at its meeting held on January 27, 2026, after assessing the Board-approved skills matrix, succession requirements, and the Company’s evolving governance and risk landscape, recommended the appointment of Mr. Alok Raj, IRS(Retd.) as an Independent Director. The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on Janaury 29, 2026, approved the recommendation and resolved to seek shareholders’ approval through postal ballot for his appointment for a term of 5 years from April 1, 2026.

The Board is of the view that Mr. Raj’s appointment will significantly strengthen the Company’s governance framework, strategic oversight, and global perspective, particularly in the context of export-oriented textiles business, geopolitical risk, trade policy, regulatory interface, and national economic security considerations.

2. Skills Matrix and Board Composition Alignment: In accordance with Regulation 17(4) read with Part D of Schedule II of the SEBI Listing Regulations, the Board has adopted a formal skills, expertise and competency matrix identifying the capabilities required for effective Board functioning, having regard to the Company’s business model, operating environment, risk profile and long-term strategy.

The Board, based on the recommendation of the NRC, has evaluated Mr. Alok Raj’s profile against this skills matrix and notes that he brings strong alignment with multiple identified competencies, including:

  • Public policy, regulatory and institutional governance

  • International trade, bilateral relations and export facilitation

  • Geo-political risk assessment and strategic foresight

8

==> picture [109 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

  • Economic security and cross-border regulatory frameworks

  • Oversight of enforcement, compliance and risk mitigation mechanisms

Given the Company’s increasing engagement with export markets, global customers, regulatory complexities, and geo-political supply-chain considerations, the Board believes that Mr. Raj’s expertise will meaningfully enhance the collective effectiveness, diversity of thought and strategic depth of the Board.

His appointment for a five-year term is consistent with the Board’s succession planning philosophy and is intended to provide continuity, stability and long-term value creation, while fully preserving the principles of independence, objectivity and accountability expected of an Independent Director.

3. Statutory Requirement for Shareholders’ Approval: Pursuant to Regulation 17(1C) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, shareholder approval is required for the appointment of a director within three months of such appointment or at the next general meeting, whichever is earlier.

Accordingly, this proposal is being placed before the Members for approval through postal ballot ( e-voting only).

4. Brief Profile of Mr. Alok Raj: Mr. Alok Raj is a former Special Secretary, Cabinet Secretariat, Government of India, and a 1988 batch officer of the Indian Revenue Service (Customs & Indirect Taxes).

He has served the Government of India for over three decades, with extensive experience across:

  • Department of Revenue

  • Cabinet Secretariat

  • Ministry of External Affairs

His professional expertise spans indirect taxation, investigation and enforcement, strategic planning, policy formulation, national and economic security, bilateral trade, and export promotion.

Mr. Raj has handled international affairs for over two decades, both in India and abroad, and has served in Indian Embassies in several countries at senior levels. He has played a key role in strengthening India’s global outreach, bilateral relations, and multilateral diplomacy.

He holds an M.A. degree from Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, and continues to engage actively with geo-political developments and corporate governance practices.

In recognition of his distinguished service to the nation, Mr. Raj is a recipient of a prestigious civilian gallantry award, conferred by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India.
