ANNEXURE TO THE NOTICE
Explanatory Statement Pursuant to Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013:
Item No. 1: Material Related Party Transactions between UltraTech Cement Limited (“the Company” or “UTCL”) and The India Cements Limited (“ICEM”), subsidiary of the Company
Pursuant to Regulation 23(4) of the Listing Regulations, as amended, all material related party transactions (“RPTs”) and subsequent material modifications require prior approval of the shareholders through ordinary resolution.
As per the prescribed thresholds under Schedule XII of the Listing Regulations, where the annual consolidated turnover of the Company exceeds Rs. 40,000 crore, a RPT is considered material if the transaction(s) to be entered into individually or taken together with previous transactions during a financial year exceeds Rs. 3,000 crore plus 2.5% of the annual consolidated turnover of the listed entity above Rs. 40,000 crore, or Rs. 5,000 crore, whichever is lower. Accordingly, the materiality threshold for the financial year 2026-27 for seeking shareholders’ approval for material RPTs of the Company is Rs. 4,184.59 crore. The said limits are applicable even if the transactions are in the ordinary course of business and at an arm’s length basis.
The definition of RPTs under Listing Regulations includes a transaction involving a transfer of resources, services or obligations between a listed entity or any of its subsidiaries on one hand and a related party of the listed entity or any of its subsidiaries on the other hand, regardless of whether a price is charged or not.
The India Cements Limited (“ICEM”) is a subsidiary and consequently, a related party of the Company. The Company deals with ICEM in the ordinary course of business and on arm’s length basis for various operational transactions required for the Company’s businesses to achieve its objectives. The expertise, complementary strengths, competencies and facilities available between the companies are leveraged for enhancing operating efficiency through these transactions. The transactions with ICEM will result in maximizing synergies with the Company and create value for all stakeholders.
In terms of the Listing Regulations, transactions with related parties require prior approval of the Audit Committee, and prior approval of the shareholders if the value of the transaction(s) crosses the materiality threshold as specified above.
Considering the quantum of transactions entered / proposed to be entered into with ICEM during the financial year 2026-27 and the framework for RPTs under the Listing Regulations, approval of the Members is sought as per the requirements of Regulation 23 of the Listing Regulations, SEBI Master Circular dated 30th January, 2026 read with the SEBI Circular SEBI/HO/CFD/CFD-PoD-2/P/CIR/2025/93 dated 26th June, 2025 along with the Industry Standards on “Minimum information to be provided to the Audit Committee and Shareholders for approval of Related Party Transactions” (‘RPT Industry Standards’).
The Members of the Company had granted their approval, by way of Postal Ballot pursuant to the Notice dated 28th April, 2025 (approved on 26th June, 2025), for entering into Material RPTs with ICEM in the financial year 2025-26 in ordinary course of business and at arm’s length basis.
The Audit Committee, comprising of all independent directors, at its meeting held on 30th March, 2026 has, on the basis of relevant details provided by the management, as required by the law, reviewed and approved the transactions to be entered into with ICEM for the financial year 2026-27, subject to the approval of the shareholders, while noting that the transactions shall be on arm’s length basis and in the ordinary course of business. Moreover, the RPTs placed for Members’ approval shall also be reviewed / monitored on quarterly basis by the Audit Committee as per Regulation 23 of the Listing Regulations and Section 177 of the Act. An independent external review was conducted covering the proposed transactions with ICEM. The review exercise concluded that the pricing policy of the transactions are adhering to the arm’s length principle. A copy of the report will be available for inspection as per the details provided in the procedure of inspection of documents at note no. 9 of the Notice. With the approval of the Audit Committee
and the Board, sensitive commercial data and information that could affect the Company's competitive position have been redacted from the report and the report would still provide all the necessary information to shareholders for informed decision making. The Audit Committee has also reviewed the certificate provided by Mr. Kailash Chandra Jhawar, Managing Director and Mr. Atul Daga, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, confirming that the terms of RPTs proposed to be entered into are in the interest of the Company. The type and nature of RPTs proposed by the Company for the financial year 2026-27 are similar as approved by the shareholders by way of postal ballot for the financial year 2025-26. The proposed amount of RPTs has been arrived at by taking into account the Company's business needs aligned with prevailing market conditions.
Details of the proposed RPTs between the Company and ICEM, including the information required under the Act and Regulation 23 of the Listing Regulations read with the SEBI Circular on RPTs Industry Standards are as under:

Purchase from ICEM enables the Company to take advantage of ICEM's manufacturing plant located near the Company's market resulting in lower logistics costs, maximizing capacity utilisation and helping to meet the demand. The Company's strong brand and extensive distribution network support efficient production planning, minimize idle capacity risks, and enhance revenue visibility. Purchasing stores, spare parts ensure technical alignment across group operations. Purchase of surplus power from ICEM leverages existing generation capacity within the group operations and is commercially feasible for the Company.

Selling to ICEM enables the Company to leverage its large-scale procurement capabilities, strong vendor network and efficient logistics/distribution infrastructure to support ICEM with competitive pricing, lower logistics costs and stable supply. The Company's integrated supply chain and distribution capabilities help ensure reliable material availability, minimize production disruptions and improve inventory and working capital efficiency for ICEM. Further, supplying stores and spares supports technical standardisation across group operations, assures quality-certified components and reduces maintenance downtime, collectively enhancing operational performance and cost efficiency for ICEM.
RMC on job work basis by ICEM for the Company:
The proposed arrangement enables the Company to meet RMC requirements efficiently by leveraging ICEM's existing RMC production capacity. It supports assured availability, operational continuity and enables efficient utilisation of existing group capabilities.
