ANNEXURE TO THE NOTICE

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT SETTING OUT MATERIAL FACTS PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013

Item No. 1

Grasim Industries Limited ("the Company"), a conglomerate, has a diversified business portfolio and is a leading manufacturer of viscose staple fibre, chemicals and textiles in India.

The Memorandum of Association ("MOA") is proposed to be amended to enable the Company to enter into the business of manufacturing, selling, trading, importing and exporting and otherwise dealing in all types of paints and allied products and services in the country.

Rationale

Being a conglomerate, portfolio evaluation and capital allocation aimed at value creation for the Company and its stakeholders, is a continuous process at Grasim. The Company endeavours to invest in businesses that have the potential to be leaders in their addressable markets, have ability to achieve scale and generate consistent and attractive returns in the long term.

In line with this strategy, the Board of Directors of the Company has identified and approved foray into paints as a new line of business. Accordingly, this Meeting is convened for taking shareholders' approval to the proposed amendment in the Object Clause of the MOA thereby permitting the Company to foray into the paints business.

The Company's entry into a consumer oriented business will further diversify its portfolio and provide it with scale and growth. The robust balance sheet of the Company should facilitate its entry in the paints sector. Historically, the Indian paints industry has been growing at a healthy rate. The organised segment constitutes approximately 70% by value of the total paints market, and has historically grown faster and gained market share from the unorganised segment.

The decorative paints segment comprises approximately three-fourth of the total market size by value, and it is expected to continue to grow, driven by factors such as urbanisation, shortening of repainting cycles, growing housing demand etc. Currently, the top four players account for approximately two-third of the market size by value in the decorative paints segment. However, there exists a wide gap in the market share between the largest and the second largest player, which the Company believes, provides it with an entry opportunity.

The Company plans to focus on the decorative paints segment and its strategy includes becoming an established and significant player over a period of time. The Company plans to capitalise on its potential access to an existing pan India distribution network and strong brand equity which, the Company believes will provide it with a meaningful head-start.

The Company's entry in the paints sector will offer a wide choice to Indian consumers as the Company plans to introduce the latest range of paint products. The Company's entry into this high growth sector is expected to help painters/applicators and all traditional and emerging channel partners across India to expand their existing business and grow.

The Company's Board of Directors has also approved an initial capital expenditure of approximately INR 5,000 Crore over the next 3 years.

In view of the aforesaid, the Object Clause of the MOA of the Company is required to be altered to include the object of entering into paints business for which shareholders' approval is sought by means of Special Resolution in accordance with the sections 13 and 4 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

Copy of the MOA of the Company together with the proposed alteration is available to the Members for inspection without any fee from the date of circulation of this Notice up to the date of Extraordinary General Meeting. Members seeking to inspect such documents can send an email at grasim.secretarial@adityabirla.com.

The Board commends the Special Resolution set out at Item No.1 of the Notice for the approval by the Members.

None of the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel or their respective relatives are, in any way, concerned or interested, in the resolution set out at Item No. 1 of the Notice.
