Subsequently, the Board of Directors reviewed the matter and noted that the proposed increase in the Authorized Share Capital could not be implemented at this stage owing to the classification of the Company's banking accounts as Non¬ Performing Assets (NPA) by the bankers. Hence, the Board considered it prudent to withdraw the proposed increase in Authorized Share Capital and the related amendment to Clause V of the Memorandum of Association so as to avoid incurring unnecessary statutory costs, regulatory filings and stamp duty obligations associated with such increase.
Accordingly, the shareholders of the Company, at the 39th Annual General Meeting held on Friday, 26th September 2025, approved by way of a Special Resolution the revocation of the resolutions passed on 09th August 2024 in relation to the increase in Authorized Share Capital and the consequential alteration of Clause V of the Memorandum of Association. Pursuant thereto, the Authorized Share Capital of the Company shall continue to remain at ^1,00,00,00,000 (Rupees One Hundred Crore only) divided into 10,00,00,000 (Ten Crore) equity shares of ?10/- each, and Clause V of the Memorandum of Association shall stand restored to its original form as existing prior to the aforesaid resolutions.

Pursuant thereto, the Company has been engaged in discussions with NARCL for arriving at a mutual settlement of the outstanding dues.
In order to strengthen the financial position by raising Capital, the Company proposed to increase the authorised share capital of the Company and the shareholders of the Company approved the increase in the Authorised Share Capital of the Company from ^100,00,00,000 (Rupees One Hundred Crores only) to ^200,00,00,000 (Rupees Two Hundred Crores only), divided into 20,00,00,000 equity shares of ?10 each, with such rights, privileges and conditions as may be determined by the Board of Directors at

5. Under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (MSMED Act), the Company delayed payments to micro and small vendor partners. As of March 31, 2026, a total principal balance of Rs.11,210 lakhs remains overdue, carrying an un¬ cleared compound interest liability of Rs. 5,952 lakhs.
Management response: The delay in payment of MSME dues was primarily due to the Company's liquidity constraints and financial stress. The Company is making continuous efforts to clear the outstanding dues.
6. In non-compliance with the timelines under Chapter VI of the Act, the Company has failed to register the satisfaction of closed or resolved corporate bank charges with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Total pending charge satisfactions stand at Rs. 5,484 lakhs across lenders including State Bank of India, Axis Bank, ABN Amro Bank, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank.
Management response: The pending charges have all been relating to the period between 2006 and 2011 and there are no outstandings against those charges. However, as these charges are very old, the required satisfaction of charge letters could not be received from banks despite repeated follow ups. In respect of ABN Amro, no follow up could be made as the bank itself has wound up its operations. Therefore these old redundant charges could not be closed. Therefore, these charges could not be closed, and the satisfaction of such charges could not be registered on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal.
7. The Company continues to operate in persistent default of Section 135 of the Act, holding an accumulated historical shortfall of unspent and un-transferred Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds totalling Rs.1,301 lakhs up to the financial year 2019¬ 20.
Management response: The accumulated CSR shortfall pertains to earlier financial years and was primarily due to the Company's financial constraints.
8. The Stock Exchanges imposed an aggregate penalty of Rs. 1,06,200/- on the Company for delays in the timely submission of its Consolidated Review Report.
Management response: The delay was inadvertent, and the Consolidated Review Report was subsequently submitted. The Company has strengthened its compliance mechanisms to avoid recurrence.
