EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
ANNEXURE TO NOTICE - EXPLANATORY STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013
ITEM NO. 1:
The Company’s revenue has been stagnating in the last 3 years, in spite of good business potential in the EPC space due to constraints in the working capital, despite sizable executable order book, primarily non fund based limits. The ability of the Company to perform well is scuttled by such constraints.
The present Promoters viz. SVL Ltd had infused Rs.736 Crores into the Company from FY15-FY20. New business could not be undertaken due to non-fund based constraints. The infusion of funds by the present Promoters have gone more into servicing of debt obligations rather than being used for growth of the Company. The Company needs a strategic investor, who could infuse funds into the Company and simultaneously reduce the debt level and to sustain and grow.
Based on the foregoing, the Company held discussions with MARK AB, with experience in 9 EPC companies in Kuwait, UAE, and Russia among others.
