Further, pursuant to Regulation 23 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“Listing Regulations”), all related party transactions shall require prior approval of the Audit Committee and all material transactions with related parties require approval of the members of the Company through ordinary resolution.

III: Other Information:
- Reasons for loss or inadequate profits:
During the financial year ended 31[st] March, 2021, the Company has earned net profit of Rs. 556 Mn mainly due to improved realisations coupled with various cost saving initiatives taken by the Company, as against a net loss of Rs. 5512 Mn last year.

CEO and Mr. Ravi Gupta, Executive Director are commensurate with rich knowledge and experience of the appointees in the field. Therefore, the profits of the Company are inadequate considering the limits on remuneration as per Section 197 of the Companies Act, 2013.
- Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement:
The Company is taking various initiatives to reduce costs such as reduction in finance costs (by replacing high cost borrowings with low cost borrowings from the Wilmar Sugar Holdings Pte. Ltd., its holding company) and operating costs and improving efficiencies. The Company is also diversifying into manufacture of ethanol for supply to the Oil Marketing Companies (OMC) for the Ethanol Blending Programme of the Government of India. The Company is taking various steps to increase the manufacturing capacities for ethanol production, which, the Company believes would improve realisation and save valuable interest costs for the Company. Increase in the sugar prices and
17
favourable environment for exports coupled with higher export realisations have helped the Company in improving its operational income. This trend is expected to continue resulting in better financial performance of the Company. The government has also provides various initiatives under its ethanol blending program, which is resulting in reviving the growth in sugar industry.
3. Expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms:
Considering the favorable policy initiatives of the Government for sugar industry and other favorable factors as mentioned above, the various steps taken by the Company for reducing finance and operating cost and increasing efficiencies and the increased thrust of the Company on production of ethanol, the Company is hopeful of further improving profitability in the years to come.
