Item 6 of the Agenda:

The transactions carried out with associated companies/related parties have been approved by the Board as recommended by the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis pursuant to provisions of applicable laws. However, as majority of Company Directors were interested in certain related party transactions due to their common directorship and holding of shares in the associated companies/related parties, the Board has recommended for placement of the same before the shareholders of the Company in general meeting for ratification/approval.

All these related party transactions during the mentioned period were executed at Arm's Length Price in a fair and transparent manner and there was no departure from the guidelines mentioned in the Companies (Related Party Transactions and Maintenance of Related Records) Regulations, 2018 and Code of Corporate Governance for such transactions.

Pursuant to the above, these transactions have to be approved/ratified by the shareholders in the General Meeting.

The directors and their relatives have no direct or indirect interest in the aforesaid except to the extent of their shareholding/common directorship with associated companies/related parties.

Item 7 of the Agenda:

Due to the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company, many Directors may be deemed to be treated as interested in transactions with certain related parties due to their common directorships and/or shareholding.
