ITEM NO.1:
As per the provisions of Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act ’), the Board of Directors of the JSW Infrastructure Limited (the ‘Company ’) cannot, except with the permission of the Members in general meeting by passing a special resolution, borrow monies in excess of the aggregate of the paid-up share capital, free reserves and securities premium of the Company.
The Members of the Company by way of a Special Resolution at the Annual General Meeting held on 29[th] July, 2024, had authorised the Board of Directors to borrow monies, from time to time, up to a limit not exceeding an aggregate of Rs. 10,000 Crore (Rupees Ten Thousand Crore only).
Members of the Company may note that the current borrowing limit of Rs. 10,000 Crore has been utilized to a considerable extent which includes fund based and non-fund based limits comprising of term loans, bonds, working capital loans, letter of credit, standby letter of credit, bank guarantees and corporate guarantee(s). Hence, it is proposed to obtain approval of the Members of the Company for increasing the borrowing limits from the current Rs.10,000 Crore (Rupees Ten Thousand Crore Only) to Rs. 20,000 Crore (Rupees Twenty Thousand Crore Only) under Section 180(1)(c) of the Act.
The Company is India’s second-largest private port developer and operator, managing three ports under State Maritime Board jurisdiction, ten terminals across major Indian ports, one liquid oil storage terminal and two O&M contracts for port terminals in UAE. The Company has embarked on a growth plan to increase its cargo handling capacity to 400 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) by financial year 2030 or earlier, up from the current capacity of 177 MTPA. To achieve this, it has outlined a comprehensive capital expenditure (capex) plan of Rs. 30,000 Crore for its port and port connectivity projects. Additionally, the Company has earmarked Rs. 9,000 Crore for expanding its logistics segment. This expansion aims to build on the acquisition of Navkar Corporation Limited, to develop a robust pan-India logistics network. Members of the Company may refer to the recent Investor Presentation, available on the below link, outlining Company’s current projects, expansion plan and growth strategy:
https://www.jswinfrastructure.in/sites/default/files/assets/downloads/infrastructure/Financial%2 0Results/2025-26/Q3/Q3fy26-infra-Results-Presentation.pdf
In view of expansion of business operations, organic and inorganic growth plans, investment in the projects envisaged by the Company, capex plan, proposed long-term funding, enhancement of working-capital facilities, financial assistance to be provided to the subsidiaries, joint venture or associate companies, it is proposed to empower the Board to raise additional financial resources, both secured and unsecured, as may be required from time to time. This will enable the Company to pursue, finance, and successfully complete transactions in the best interest of its stakeholders.
14
==> picture [181 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
As explained hereinabove, it would be in the interest of the Company to enhance the borrowing limits and authorise the Board of Directors to borrow monies which may exceed at any time the aggregate of the paid-up capital of the Company and its free reserves and securities premium but that shall not exceed Rs.20,000 Crore (Rupees Twenty Thousand Crore Only).
This authorisation is of an enabling nature and is proposed to ensure adequate flexibility for the Board to avail financial assistance as and when required, without seeking Members’ approval afresh on each occasion.
The Company shall ensure that the debt equity ratio of the Company, at all times, shall be within prudent limits.
None of the Directors and Key Managerial Personnel of the Company and their relatives are concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the resolution set out at Item No. 1 of this Notice.

The Board of Directors recommends the Special Resolution as set out in Item No. 2 for approval of the Members of the Company.
ITEM NOS. 3, 4, 5 and 6:
JSW Infrastructure Limited (the ‘Company ’) is India’s second-largest private port developer and operator, managing three ports under State Maritime Board jurisdiction, ten terminals across major Indian ports, one liquid oil storage terminal and two O&M contracts for port terminals in UAE. The Company has embarked on a growth plan to increase its cargo handling capacity to 400 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) by financial year 2030 or earlier, up from the current capacity of 177 MTPA. To achieve this, it has outlined a comprehensive capital expenditure (capex) plan of Rs. 30,000 Crore for its port and port connectivity projects. Additionally, the Company has earmarked Rs. 9,000 Crore for expanding its logistics segment.
To support its growth trajectory, the Company proposes to provide competitive remuneration opportunities to its employees, including through annual incentive plans and long-term incentive plans. The Company believes that in addition to annual incentive plans, the presence of a longterm incentive plan and the resulting employee ownership facilitates a performance driven culture and contributes to the success of the Company. Employee stock options (‘ Options ’) serve as a powerful tool to attract, motivate and retain top-tier talent, while also aligning individual performance with the Company’s long-term objectives.
Such share-based benefits are also internationally recognized as an effective way to attract, incentivize, retain key talents as well as motivate the employees to contribute in the Company’s growth and profitability and to recognize and reward the efforts of the Employees in the progress of the Company.
Through this initiative, employees shall be empowered to invest in the Company’s future, fostering a sense of ownership and emotional commitment. It supports wealth creation, aligns employee interests with long-term business goals and enhances shareholder value. This approach complements global best practices in total rewards combining fixed pay, performancelinked bonuses and long-term incentives.
Status of Pre-IPO Plans:
Prior to its listing in 2023, the Company introduced equity incentive plans namely ‘JSW Infrastructure Limited Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2016’ ( ‘ESOP 2016’ ) and the ‘JSW Infrastructure Limited Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2021’ ( ‘ESOP 2021’ ) (collectively, the ‘Existing Plans’ ) for granting Options to eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiary company(ies).
-

Accordingly, ESOP 2016 stands terminated with effect from 3[rd] October, 2024, with no Options remaining outstanding as on that date.
-
ESOP 2021 , being a pre-IPO plan formulated in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 (‘ SEBI

==> picture [181 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
SBEB Regulations ’), requires ratification by the Members of the Company for any further grant of Options thereunder. Since the Company, at present, does not intend to grant any further Options under ESOP 2021, the ratification of the said plan is not proposed.
Inventory of equity shares with Trust:
The ‘JSW Infrastructure Employees Welfare Trust’ (‘ Trust ’), established under the Existing Plans, has been allotted equity shares by the Company from time to time. As on date, the Trust holds an unappropriated inventory of:
-
6,83,520 (Six Lakhs Eighty-Three Thousand Five Hundred Twenty Only) equity shares under ESOP 2016; and
-
14,75,428 (Fourteen Lakhs Seventy-Five Thousand Four Hundred Twenty-Eight Only) equity shares under ESOP 2021.

At this juncture, the Company proposes to introduce new plan which is designed to align with prevailing industry best practices and reinforces the Company’s ongoing commitment to fostering employee engagement and promoting long-term value creation. Accordingly, a new equity incentive plan titled ‘Shri O.P. Jindal Employee Stock Ownership Plan (JSWIL) - 2026’ (‘ OPJ ESOP Plan 2026 ’ or the ‘ Plan ’) is proposed to be implemented through the Trust established by the Company, which shall cover eligible employees of the Company and its present and future unlisted subsidiary company(ies).
To operationalize the Plan, the Company proposes allocating a pool of 21,00,000 (Twenty-One Lakhs Only) Options, each convertible into one equity share of the Company. The requisite equity shares shall be sourced from the existing shares held by the Trust under the Existing Plans, comprising 6,83,520 (Six Lakhs Eighty-Three Thousand Five Hundred Twenty Only) equity shares under ESOP 2016 and 14,16,480 (Fourteen Lakhs Sixteen Thousand Four Hundred Eighty Only) equity shares under ESOP 2021.

With the change in the business environment, the Committee may alter any of the aforesaid Business Performance Parameters of vesting, in any financial year, in the interests of the Company and its stakeholders.
Through this framework, the Company aims to adopt a more progressive, performance ‑ driven approach that ensures rewards are closely aligned with each employee’s contribution to organizational success. This alignment not only strengthens the connection between employee incentives and the Company’s strategic objectives but also reinforces the Company’s commitment in recognizing and rewarding individuals who deliver meaningful results and contribute to long ‑ term value creation.
The Option granted under the OPJ ESOP Plan 2026 would vest not earlier than the minimum vesting period of 1 (one) year and not later than maximum vesting period of 3 (three) years from the date of grant. Vesting may happen in one or more tranches.
Unless the Committee specifies a different vesting schedule / criteria, the following vesting schedule shall apply to all grants made under OPJ ESOP Plan 2026:
| Vesting schedule | Percentage of Options which will vest |

In the event of death or permanent incapacity of grantee, the minimum vesting period shall not be applicable and in such instances, all the unvested Options shall vest with effect from date of the death or permanent incapacity, as the case may be.
The Options granted shall vest so long as the grantee continues to be in the employment or service of the Company or its unlisted subsidiary company(ies), on the date of vesting. In addition to this, the Committee shall have the power to prescribe achievement of performance based on a mix of assured and Company performance (EBITDA achievement) metrics. The detailed terms and conditions for vesting will be governed by the Plan.
e. Maximum period within which the options shall be vested:
Any Option granted under the OPJ ESOP Plan 2026 shall be subject to a maximum vesting period of 3 (three) years from the date of grant of Options as specified above.
f. Conditions under which the options may lapse:
In case of termination of employment other than misconduct, the Options, to the extent not previously vested, will lapse on the date of such termination of employment and the vested Options can be exercised by the grantee within 1 month from the date of termination.
In case the grantee’s employment is terminated for misconduct, the Options vested in the grantee will lapse on the date of termination.
In case of retirement of the grantee, all terms and conditions of the OPJ ESOP Plan 2026 shall remain unchanged upon retirement. Vested Options may be exercised within 18 (eighteen) months from the date of retirement. Unvested Options shall continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule specified in the award agreement and may be exercised within 12 (twelve) months from the respective date of vesting.
In case of death or permanent incapacitation of the grantee, all Options granted to the grantee as on such date shall, vest on such date in the nominees or legal heirs of the deceased grantee or the grantee (in the event of incapacitation) and the Options must be exercised within 18 (eighteen) months from the date of the grantee’s death or permanent disability.
In the event the grantee avails a long leave, all the terms and conditions of OPJ ESOP Plan 2026 will continue unchanged and the grantee can exercise his Option as per the terms of the award agreement, unless the Committee decides otherwise.
In cases where the grantee is undergoing disciplinary inquiry in accordance with the Company’s policies, or the Company discovers that the grantee had committed any act which would enable the Company to terminate his employment for misconduct, the Committee may at its discretion, delay the vesting, lapse, expire or forfeit all or part of the vested or unvested Options which are held by grantee.

g. Exercise price or pricing formula:
The exercise price shall be equivalent to the face value of the equity shares of the Company as on the date of grant i.e. Rs. 2/- (Rupees Two Only) per share. Grantee shall bear all tax liability in relation to the Options.
The Company believes that issuing Options at face value ensures complete alignment between employees and Members, as value accrues only through long-term appreciation of the Company’s equity. The structure avoids any upfront economic benefits, ensures risk-sharing and promotes retention of critical talent over a multi-year horizon. The total number of options proposed to be granted under the scheme is entirely inherited from the previous ESOP 2016 and ESOP 2021 pool and does not involve any increase in the overall equity pool, resulting in absolutely no incremental dilution to Members. Further, given the fixed ceiling on the total number of options, the related employee compensation expense to the Profit & Loss account is fully quantifiable, predictable and capped over the vesting period. The scheme is governed by independent oversight, excludes promoters and is implemented within a clearly defined governance and disclosure framework, thereby safeguarding shareholder interests.
h. Exercise period and the process of exercise:
The Committee shall decide the exercise period from time to time which can be extended up to 4 (four) years from the vesting date(s).
The grantee can exercise the Options at any time after the vesting date either in full or in tranches by making full payment of exercise price and applicable taxes and by execution of such documents as may be prescribed by the Committee, from time to time.
OPJ ESOP Plan 2026 shall also permit cashless exercise of Options to the extent permitted under Regulation 3(15)(a) of the SEBI SBEB Regulations. For implementing the cashless exercise, the Committee shall be entitled to specify such procedures and/or mechanisms for exercise of the Options as may be necessary and the same shall be binding on the grantee.
In line with the requirements of the SEBI SBEB Regulations, the trustees of the Trust shall not exercise voting rights in respect of the shares of the Company held by the Trust.
The Options shall be deemed to have been exercised when grantee makes an application in writing to the Trust or by any other means as decided by the Committee, for the transfer of equity shares against the Options vested in him, subject to payment of exercise price and compliance with other requisite conditions of exercise. The Options shall lapse if not exercised within the specified exercise period.
i. Appraisal process for determining the eligibility of employees under the Scheme:
Select employees from the level of Assistant Manager and above, are eligible for Options subject to provisions of the Plan. The appraisal process for determining eligibility of the employees for grant of Options shall be decided from time to time by the Committee. In determining the eligibility of an Employee to receive Options under the Plan, the Committee shall consider the performance of an employee as indicated by the annual performance appraisal, average median
22

j. Maximum number of options to be issued per employee and in aggregate:
The maximum number of Options to be granted to an eligible employee will be determined by the Committee on case-to-case basis and shall not exceed the limit prescribed under SEBI SBEB Regulations and other applicable laws. The maximum number of Options granted under the OPJ ESOP Plan 2026 in any year shall not exceed 1,00,000 (One Lakhs Only) and in aggregate shall not exceed 5,00,000 (Five Lakhs Only) Options.
k. Maximum quantum of benefits to be provided per employee under the Scheme:
The employees will be entitled to the equity shares of the Company on exercise of Options as per the terms provided under OPJ ESOP Plan 2026.
The maximum quantum of benefits underlying the Options granted to an eligible employee shall be equal to the appreciation in the value of the Company's equity shares determined as on the date of exercise of Options, on the basis of difference between the Option exercise price and the market price of the equity shares on the exercise date.
l. Route of the implementation:
The Plan shall be implemented by the Trust under the supervision of the Board or Committee thereof.
