  • *CA certificate from Pawan Shubham & Co. (statutory auditor) dated October 13, 2025

Where material deviation may be defined to mean:

a) Deviation in the objects or purposes for which the funds have been raised

b) Deviation in the amount of funds actually utilized by more than 10% of the amount projected in the offer documents.

Note 1 : Funds incurred towards Sanand capital expenditure till Sept’25 fell short of the amount specified in the placement document. As per the company’s management, the reason for low utilization was mainly because of the estimation of project expenses and the corresponding payment schedule was prepared prior to the receipt of QIP Funds. However, given the complex nature of the project under construction i.e the building and design of plant and machinery, revisions were made to the original drawings and designs. As a result, delivery schedule for plant & machinery and building construction has been extended by few months, causing a shift in certain payments, which will now be made in FY26 & in subsequent financial year as permitted under placement documents. Phase 2 of the project is expected to be commenced in Q4FY27.

Further, As per the placement document, if the Net Proceeds are not utilized (in full or in part) for the Objects of the Issue during the period stated due to any reason, including (i) the timing of completion of the Issue; (ii) market conditions outside the control of our Company; and (iii) any other economic, business and commercial considerations, the remaining Net Proceeds shall be utilized in subsequent periods in such manner as may be determined by the company, in accordance with applicable laws.

As per the management, project status will be reviewed at the board meeting and the reason for delay and timeline extension will be discussed at its board meeting scheduled for October 15, 2025.

**KEI’s revenue increased by around 20% in FY25, supported by robust growth in retail (35%), exports (15%), and institutional (3%) segments, with operating margin steady at 10.03% (PY: 10.40%). In Q1FY26, revenue grew ~25% y-o-y on the back of healthy order inflows across segments, while capacity utilization remained high at about 80% during FY25.
