A. Resolution Item No. 5:
Background, details and benefits of the transaction
K.P. Energy Limited ("KPE") and KPI Green Energy Limited ("KPI") are entities under common control and fall within the definition of related parties under applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Both KPE and KPI are companies engaged in the renewable energy sector, with a focus on wind, solar, and wind-solar hybrid power generation. They operate both as Independent Power Producers (IPP) and service providers to Captive Power Producers (CPP).
Under the IPP segment, the companies develop, own, operate, and maintain grid-connected renewable energy projects and generate revenue by entering into long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with third parties. Under the CPP segment, the companies develop and
Page 30 of 43
transfer such projects to CPP customers for captive use, generating revenue through sale and post-commissioning services.
KPE is primarily engaged in providing turnkey Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) services for renewable energy projects. These services include land identification and acquisition, civil and electrical infrastructure development, power evacuation facilities, obtaining statutory approvals, and end-to-end execution of Balance of Plant (BoP) works. Additionally, KPE, through its wholly owned subsidiary KP Energy OMS Limited, provides operations and maintenance services for BoP infrastructure throughout the life of the project. On the other hand, KPI is a Gujarat-based renewable energy company focused on solar and hybrid power projects. KPI undertakes development, construction, and operation of solar and hybrid plants under both IPP and CPP business models under the brand name ‘Solarism’.
As KPI scales up its IPP asset portfolio, KPE can undertake the BoP work of its large-scale projects to strategically leverage KPE’s proven capabilities and track record in project execution. These transactions are conducted in the ordinary course of business and on an arm’s length basis. Recently, KPI has subcontracted 1+ GW of renewable energy project capacity—under development for Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL)—to KPE.
In view of the above and considering the growing volume of business between the companies, the existing limit approved by members for Related Party Transactions between KPE and KPI is expected to be exceeded. Therefore, the Board recommends seeking the approval of members by way of a special resolution to revise/increase the limit of Related Party Transactions between the Company and KPI Green Energy Limited.
Details of the proposed RPTs between KPE and KPI, including the information required to be disclosed in the Explanatory Statement pursuant to the SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/CIR/P/0155 dated November 11, 2024, are as follows:

Background, details and benefits of the transaction
K.P. Energy Limited (“KPE”) and KP Green Engineering Limited (formerly known as K P Buildcon Private Limited) (“KPGE”) are entities under common control and fall within the definition of "Related Party" under the Companies Act, 2013 and applicable SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
KPE is a turnkey EPCC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning) service provider for the development of Balance of Plant (BoP) for Wind and Wind-Solar Hybrid Power Projects. Its scope includes land identification and acquisition, civil and electrical works, development of power evacuation infrastructure, and obtaining necessary project-related approvals. KPE also provides operations and maintenance services for the BoP infrastructure through its wholly owned subsidiary, KP Energy OMS Limited. On the other hand, KPGE is engaged in the business of fabrication and hot-dip galvanizing of various structures such as transmission line structures, windmill structures, telecom towers, substation and switchyard structures, solar module mounting structures, cable trays, earthing strips, pole structures, and also provides operation and maintenance services for optical fiber cable infrastructure.
KPE is currently undertaking the development of several hybrid renewable energy projects in India. As part of this, KPGE’s fabrication and galvanizing capabilities are instrumental in supporting the timely execution of solar and wind-solar hybrid power projects. The collaboration between
