During FY 25-26, the Company had received a work order from Inland Waterways Authority of India for procurement of Cutter Suction Dredger and Dredger Ancillary Units such as Work Boats and Accommodation Boats. The Company for completion of the said work order decided to avail a part of service such as Hull Fabrication and Outfitting of these Cutter Suction Dredger and Dredger Ancillary Units from KSPL. The Annual Consolidated turnover of the Company in FY 24-25 is Rs. 200.70 Crores. The said work was amounting to Rs. 17.00 Crores, which were within the overall limit 10% aggregated consolidated turnover of the Company i.e., Rs. 20.07 Crores. Further, the said transaction was in ordinary course of business and at arm's length price.

Further, in October 2025, the Company had received a work order from V. O. Chidambarnar Port Authority for Manning, Operation, Maintenance and Complete Technical Management of contractor Owned 01 No. ASTDS-GTTP Tug.

Considering previous performance of KSPL, the Company has decided to delegate the work of construction and supply of 1 (One) No. GTTP Compliance 60 Ton Bollard Pull Green Tug in March 2026 aggregating to Rs. 90 Crores to KSPL. However, as against the order of Rs. 90 Crores, the Company has made stagewise payment of Rs. 18.00 Crores against the said Order during the FY 25-26.

The said work of Construction and supply of 1 (One) No. GTTP Compliant 60 Ton Bollard Pull Green Tug will be completed within a period of 2 years from the initiation of the work.

Further, the management has considered various risk metrics and possibilities of execution of the said work and it was found that KSPL fits good into the position of construction 1 (One) No. 60 Ton Bollard Pull GTTP Compliant Green Tug.

Further, engagement with KSPL has facilitated enhanced coordination, consistency in execution, and improved responsiveness. It is also anticipated to enable more efficient utilization of resources within the Group and reduce complexities typically associated with external contracting arrangements.
