The lease rentals for the transactions in serial numbers (8) to (13) pertaining to lands taken on lease by the Company from the parties related to the management of the company in the year 1972 for 99 years for an extent of Ac.1285.66 Cents of lands in Muktyala and Dondapadu Villages by way of lease deed executed by the company with the Lessors.

Originally Clause 4(i) of the terms of the said lease deed the yearly lease rent is payable to the lessors as follows:

For the Lands where mining license is obtained:

25% of the annual Dead rent payable by the lessee to the government

Or

25% of the royalty per ton payable by the lessee to the government whichever is higher.

For the Lands where mining license is not obtained:

Till the lessee get the mining license the lessee shall pay a lease rent of Rs.10 per Acre PA to the lessors.

Now the family members of the Lessor have entered into a family partition deed. They are requesting for payment of revised lease rent on non-mining lands as per the prevailing market rental value in that area which is more than Rs.10,000/- per acre and the lands are very near to Amaravathi the new capital city of Andhra pradesh and there is huge appreciation in value of the lands.

The following members are entitled for revised lease rent on non-mining lands:

Sl.No. Name Nature of relationship Extent Ac.Cts
1. Dr. V.L. Indira Dutt Managing Director (MD), Wife of Dr. 87.83
V.L. Dutt and Mother of V. Kavitha
Dutt
2. Sri. V. Chandra Kumar Brother of MD 17.98
3. Smt. Uma S. Vallabhaneni Sister of MD 90.89
4. Smt. V. Rama Brother of MD 119.99
5. Sri Bala Tripura Sundari Ammavaru Trust MD is Trustee 4.541
Total 362.10

Therefore, it is proposed to revise the terms of lease agreements originally entered in year 1972 for remaining lease period by increasing the existing lease rent of Rs.10/- per Acre PA to Rs.5000/- per Acre per annum till the company obtains the mining license for the above said lands of Ac.362.10 cents and after obtaining the mining license 25% of the annual Dead rent payable by the lessee to the government or 25% of the royalty per ton payable by the lessee to the government whichever is higher will be the lease rent.

The amount of lease rent to be payable for Ac.362.10 cents @ Rs.5000/- is about Rs.18,50,000/- only and based on the value of above said transactions provided in the table serial numbers (1) to (13), they are not considered as Material Related Party Transactions under provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015 as amended.

The Board of Directors recommends the resolution at Item No. 10 of the Notice for approval of Members as the above transactions are in the best interest of the company,if the company wants to acquire lands for mining, they typically must purchase the land, and then start mining limestone for use in their Cement Units. Often the land contributes significantly to the overall cost of the project and substantially increases the upfront development costs, with these leasehold agreements the company can drastically reduce its overall and upfront project costs in future.

The Directors further seeks the approval of the shareholders to enable them to finalise the terms of the transactions like Value, Duration and for execution of revised lease agreements within the above said limits.

A copy of the draft agreements with said related parties setting out the terms and conditions is/are available for inspection without any fee to members at the Company's registered office during the normal business hours on working days up to the date of the AGM and will be placed on the website of the company www.kcp.co.in.

Except Dr. V.L. Dutt, Executive Chairman, Dr. V.L. Indira Dutt, Managing Director and Smt.V. Kavitha Dutt, Joint Managing Director of the company none of the Directors, Key Managerial Persons of the Company and their relatives is/are concerned or interested in the resolution.
