xi
 ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Our Company is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of India. All of our Company’s
directors and key managerial personnel named herein are residents of India and all or a substantial portion
of assets of our Company or such persons are located in India. As a result, it may be difficult for investors
to affect service of process upon our Company or such persons outside India or to enforce judgments
obtained against such parties outside India.

Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13 of the Code of Civil
Procedure, 1908 (the “Civil Code”) on a statutory basis. Section 13 of the Civil Code provide that a foreign
judgment shall be conclusive regarding any matter directly adjudicated upon except: (i) where the judgment
has not been pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) where the judgment has not been given
on the merits of the case; (iii) where it appears on the face of the proceedings that the judgment is founded
on an incorrect view of international law or a refusal to recognise the law of India in cases in which such
law is applicable; (iv) where the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural
justice; (v) where the judgment has been obtained by fraud; and (vi) where the judgment sustains a claim
founded on a breach of any law in force in India.

Under the Civil Code, a court in India shall, upon the production of any document purporting to be a
certified copy of a foreign judgment, presume that the judgment was pronounced by a court of competent
jurisdiction, unless the contrary appears on record.

India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign
judgments. However, Section 44A of the Civil Code provides that where a foreign judgment has been
rendered by a superior court within the meaning of that section in any country or territory outside India
which the Government has by notification declared to be in a reciprocating territory, it may be enforced in
India by proceedings in execution as if the judgment had been rendered by the relevant court in India.
However, Section 44A of the Code is applicable only to monetary decrees not being in the nature of any
amounts payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other
penalties.

Each of the United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong has been declared by the Government to be a
reciprocating territory for the purposes of Section 44A of the Civil Code but the United States has not been
so declared. A judgment of a court in a jurisdiction which is not a reciprocating territory may be enforced
only by a fresh suit upon the judgment and not by proceedings in execution. The suit must be filed in India
within three years from the date of the judgment in the same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a
civil liability in India. It is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a
foreign court if an action is brought in India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court would enforce
foreign judgments if it viewed the amount of damages awarded as excessive or inconsistent with public
policy. Further, any judgment or award in a foreign currency would be converted into Rupees on the date of
such judgment or award and not on the date of payment. A party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in
India is required to obtain approval from the RBI to repatriate outside India any amount recovered pursuant
to the execution of such a judgment. In addition, any judgment in a foreign currency would be converted
into Indian Rupees on the date of the judgment and not on the date of payment.

xii
 EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Rupee and the U.S. Dollar will affect the U.S. Dollar
equivalent of the Rupee price of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. These fluctuations will also
affect the conversion into U.S. Dollars of any cash dividends paid in Rupees on the Equity Shares.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information with respect to the exchange rate
between the Rupee and the U.S. dollar (in Rupees per U.S. dollar) based on the reference rates released by
the Reserve Bank of India. In 1994, the Rupee was permitted to float fully for the first time. The exchange
rate as at September 30, 2009 was Rs. 48.04 = USD 1. (Source: Reserve Bank of India). No representation
is made that the Rupee amounts actually represent such amounts in U.S. dollars or could have been or
could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rates indicated, any other rates or at all.

 SUMMARY OF BUSINESS

Document carefully, especially the risks of investing in the Equity Shares discussed under section titled

OVERVIEW

Our Company is a part of the Bajaj conglomorates of businesses and industries, (“Bajaj Group”), one of
the oldest business groups in India. The Bajaj Group has a diversified business line, having interests in a
range of businesses which amongst others, include manufacturing of two wheeler and three wheeler
automobiles, life and general insurance products, financial services, steel, consumer durables, lighting,
luminaires, electric fans, electrical appliances, engineering and projects implementation, power
transmission line towers, rural electrification and manufacture of high masts, galvanized poles and power
tools.

Our Company is currently engaged in the businesses of marketing and distribution of appliances, fans,
lighting products, luminaries, manufacture of fans, high masts, towers and poles, and undertakes projects
for stadium lighting, road lighting, transmission towers, high masts and rural electrification, among other
projects. Our businesses can be broadly categorized in five major strategic business units, (“SBUs”),
namely, appliances, fans, lighting, luminaires and engineering and projects.

Brief history of our Company

Our Company was incorporated as Radio Lamp Works Limited under the Indian Companies Act, 1913 as a
public company limited by shares, pursuant to a certificate of incorporation dated July 14, 1938.
Subsequently the name of our Company was changed to Bajaj Electricals Limited, pursuant to a fresh
certificate of incorporation dated October 1, 1960.

In 1964, Matchwell Electricals (India) Limited, (“Matchwell”), a manufacturer of electric fans became a
subsidiary of our Company and subsequently, with effect from July 1, 1984, the business and undertaking
of Matchwell was amalgamated with our Company.

In the financial year 1993-1994, our Company entered into a joint venture with Black & Decker
Corporation, United States, for the manufacture and marketing of power tools, household appliances, and
related accessories, through a separate company named Black & Decker Bajaj Private Limited, (“Black &
Decker Bajaj”). During the financial year 1999-2000, Black & Decker Bajaj became a 100% subsidiary of
our Company upon our Company acquiring a further 50% of the shareholding thereof from Black &
Decker Corporation, pursuant to which Black & Decker Bajaj was renamed as Bajaj Ventures Limited.
However, in the financial year 2002-2003, our Company divested 50% of its shareholding in Bajaj
Ventures Limited and Bajaj Ventures Limited ceased to be a subsidiary of our Company.

In January 1998, our Company established a new manufacturing unit at Chakan near Pune and commenced
operations of manufacturing of fans and die-cast components. The production of fans at our manufacturing
activities of the Matchwell unit also was gradually shifted to our Chakan unit.

In September 1999, our Company established and commissioned a wind energy generation unit with an
installed capacity of 2.8 mega watts at Village Vankusawade, Tal. Patan, District Satara, Maharashtra.

In the year 2000-2001, our Company set-up our manufacturing facilities including a fabrication unit and a
galvanizing plant at Ranjangaon, near Pune for the manufacture of high masts, lattice towers, and related

xx
products, and the said manufacturing facilities commenced commercial production with effect from April
1, 2001.

In November 2002, our Company entered into a technical collaboration and brand licensing agreement with
Morphy Richards, United Kingdom, for the sales and marketing of electrical appliances under the brand
name of “Morphy Richards” in India.

In the financial year 2002-2003 our Company discontinued manufacturing die-cast components.

In the year 2005 our company entered into a Distribution agreement with Trilux Lenze of Germany for high
end technical lighting.

In the year 2007, we acquired 32% of the share capital of Starlite Lighting Limited, a company engaged in
the manufacture of Compact Fluorescent Lamps (“CFLs”).

 RISK FACTORS

An investment in equity shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the
information in this Preliminary Placement Document, including the risks and uncertainties described below,
before making an investment in the Equity Shares of our Company.

If any of the following risks, or other risks that are not currently known or are now deemed immaterial,
actually occur, our Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer, the price
of the Equity Shares could decline, and all or part of your investment may be lost. Unless otherwise stated,
our Company is not in a position to specify or quantify the financial or other risks mentioned herein.

Wherever used in this section the terms “we”, “us” “our” shall be deemed include Bajaj Electricals Limited,
unless otherwise stated.

INTERNAL RISK FACTORS

1. Steel and zinc are the primary raw materials for the manufacture of our masts, towers and pillars
whereas copper and aluminium are the primary raw material for the manufacture of fans by us, and
the fans and other appliances marketed by us. Consequently, volatility in the supply or price of steel,
copper, aluminium and/or zinc could adversely affect our operations and profitability.

Steel and zinc are the primary raw material for the manufacture of our masts, towers and pillars whereas
copper and aluminium are the primary raw material for the manufacture of fans by us, and the fans and
other appliances marketed by us. We are exposed to volatility in the price of steel, copper, aluminium
and/or zinc which represents the largest component of the cost of the said products. The prices of the
aforesaid commodities are highly volatile and cyclical in nature. Numerous factors, most of which are
beyond our control, drive the cycles of the steel, coppeer, aluminium and zinc industries and influence
their respective prices. Some of these factors include general economic conditions, worldwide production
capacity, capacity-utilization rates, downturns in purchase by traditional bulk end users of these
commodities or their customers, a slowdown in basic manufacturing industries, import duties and other
trade restrictions and currency exchange rates. If the price of steel, copper, aluminium, and/or zinc
increase in the future, there can be no assurance that we will be able to absorb the cost increase or pass
along such increases to our customers, thereby adversely affecting our margins and profits. Increased
prices of these commodities may also cause potential customers to defer purchase of our products, which
would have an adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and profitability.

2. We have not entered into long term contracts with the suppliers of raw material and components for
our manufacturing facilities and with the vendors of the products marketed and sold by us. Our
inability to obtain raw material and/or source our products from our suppliers/vendors in a timely
manner, in sufficient quantities and/or at competitive prices could adversely affect our operations,
financial condition and/or profitability.

If our suppliers/vendors are unable to supply (a) the raw material and/or components required for the
manufacture of our products, and/or (b) the products that are marketed and sold by us which are sourced
from third paries, in sufficient quantities, or there is a loss of one or more significant suppliers/vendors,
our ability to obtain our raw material, components and/or products at competitive rates could be
adversely affected. In such event, our cost of purchasing such raw material/components/products from
alternate sources could be higher thereby adversely affecting our operating margins and our results of
operations. Further we do not enter into long term agreements with the suppliers of raw material and
components for our manufacturing facilities and with the vendors of the products marketed and sold by
us. Any severance of our relations with our suppliers and/or vendors could adversely affect our
operations and profitability.

3. Our Operations and profitability may be adversely affected if any of our SBUs are unable to procure
sufficient orders or register sufficient sales.

1
 Our profitability depends significantly on the financial performance of each of our 5 SBUs, namely
appliances, lighting, fans, luminaires and engineering and projects. If any of the aforementioned SBUs
are unable to procure sufficient orders and/or register sufficient sales, our overall financial condition and
profitability could be adversely affected. Further, our manufacturing facilities at Chakan and Ranjangaon
may not be utilised to the full extent of their respective capacities, in the event we are unable to procure
sufficient orders, which in turn would adversely affect the results of our operations.

4. Our future operating results are difficult to predict. Any unfavorable changes in the factors affecting
our operating results may adversely affect our operations and profitability.

Our business and results of operations may be adversely affected by, among other factors, the following:

• extended sales cycle for our products;

• timing and integration of acquired businesses, if any;

• the size, timing and profitability of significant contracts in various infrastructure and lighting
projects in the forthcoming years;

• the timing and success of the submission of engineering and project tenders and contracts to certain
geographic areas and more mature markets;

• economic downturns or stagnant economies in India and global markets;

• a decrease in international and domestic prices for our products and services;

• delays in project schedules and adverse changes in purchasing practices of our customers;

• the ability to raise the finance required for investments; and/or an increase in interest rates at which
we can raise debt financing;

• strikes or work stoppages by our employees;

• competition from global and Indian electrical companies, including new entrants in the market;

• changes in government policies, including introduction of or adverse changes in tariff or non-tariff

barriers, affecting our industry generally in India or globally;

• accidents and natural disasters; and

• the time required to train new employees in order to use their skills effectively.

All of the above factors may affect our revenues and therefore have an impact on our operating results.

5. Our operating expenses include fixed costs that are not dependent upon our order bookings. As a
result, any decline in our operating performance may be magnified because we may be unable to
reduce expenses immediately in response to a potential shortfall in order bookings. Our operating
expenses also include significant variable costs which may adversely impact our profitability.

Our operating expenses include various fixed costs, which are as such, not dependent on our order
bookings. Our fixed costs include primarily our employment related expenses and are incurred whether
contracts for products are booked or not. Any shortfall in order bookings and execution may cause
significant variations in operating results in any particular quarter, as we would not be able to reduce our
fixed operating expenses in the short term. The effect of any decline in order bookings may thereby be
magnified because a portion of our earnings are committed to paying these fixed costs. Accordingly, we
believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and
should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. Thus, it is possible that in the future some

2
 of our financial results may be below the expectations of the public, market analysts and investors which
could have a material adverse effect on the overall financial performance of our Company.

A significant portion of our operating expenses are variable costs which include transportation, and raw
material costs. An increase in these costs may adversely affect our profitability.

6. Any prolonged business interruption at our manufacturing facilities could have a material adverse
effect on results of operation and financial conditions.

Any material interruption at our manufacturing facilities, including power failure, fire and unexpected
mechanical failure of equipment, could reduce our ability to meet our book orders and earnings for the
affected period.
Irregular or interrupted supply of power or water, electricity shortages or government intervention,
particularly in the form of power rationing are factors that could adversely affect our daily operations. If
there is an insufficient supply of electricity or water to satisfy our requirements or a significant increase
in electricity prices, we may need to limit or delay our production, which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that we will always have
access to sufficient supplies of electricity in the future to accommodate our production requirements and
planned growth. Similarly, there is no assurance that those of our manufacturing facilities unaffected by
an interruption will have the capacity to increase their output to manufacture products for the affected
manufacturing facilities, to the extent that all outstanding orders will be filled in a timely manner. In the
event of prolonged interruptions in the operations of our manufacturing facilities, we may have to import
various supplies and products in order to meet our production requirements, which could affect our
profitability.

7. Our inability to maintain the stability of our distribution network and attract additional distributors
may have an adverse affect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The challenge in our business lies in reaching a geographically dispersed end-user at the right time at the
right place with the right product. We rely on our distribution network and dealerships to reach the end
customer and sell our products in each of the regions in which we operate. Our business is dependent on
maintaining good relationships with our distributors and dealers and ensuring that our distributors and
dealers find our products to be commercially remunerative and have continuing demand from customers.
Furthermore, our growth depends on our ability to attract additional distributors to our distribution
network. There can be no assurance that our current distributors and dealers will continue to do business
with us, or that we can continue to attract additional distributors and dealers to our network. If we do not
succeed in maintaining the stability of our distribution network and attracting additional distributors to
our distribution network, our market share may decline and our products may not reach the end
customers, materially affecting our results of operations and financial condition.

8. Our manufacturing operations are currently geographically concentrated in one state, namely, the
State of Maharashtra, thereby exposing us to regional risks.

Our manufacturing operations are currently geographically concentrated in one state, namely,
Maharashtra. Our manufacturing activities are therefore significantly dependent on the general economic
condition and activity in the State of Maharashtra, and the Central and State Government policies relating
to our manufacturing activities. Moreover, we may not be able to take advantage of any expansion
opportunities outside our current markets. This may place us at a competitive disadvantage and limit our
growth opportunities. Further, any change in the policies of the Central and the State governments, any
local social unrest, natural disaster or breakdown of services and utilities in the State of Maharashtra or at
the locations where our manufacturing facilities are situated could have an adverse effect on our business
and results of operations.

9. We are dependent on third party transportation providers for the supply of raw materials and delivery
of our products.

3
 We use third party transportation providers for the supply of most of our raw materials and products
sourced from our vendors and delivery of our products to domestic and overseas customers.
Transportation strikes by members of various Indian truckers' unions have had in the past, and could
again have in the future, an adverse affect on supplies and deliveries to and from our customers and
suppliers. In addition, raw materials and products maybe lost or damaged in transit for various reasons
including occurrence of accidents or natural disasters. There may also be delay in delivery of raw
materials and products which may also affect our business and results of operation negatively. An
increase in the freight costs or unavailability of freight for transportation of products to export markets
may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

10. Stringent environmental, health and safety laws and regulations or stringent enforcement of existing
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations may result in increased liabilities and increased
capital expenditures, which could have a material adverse impact on our operations and profitability.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health and safety and other regulatory and/or statutory
requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The discharge, storage and disposal of such
hazardous wastes are subject to environmental regulations. Non-compliance with these regulations,
which among other things, limit or prohibit emissions or spills of toxic substances produced in
connection with our operations, could expose us to civil penalties, criminal sanctions and revocation of
key business licences. Stringent statutory and/or regulatory requirements in connection with environment,
health and safety in India is likely to result in increased environmental capital expenditures and costs for
environmental compliance. In addition, due to the possibility of unanticipated regulatory or other
developments, the amount of future environmental expenditures may vary widely from those currently
anticipated. Further we may be required to suspend and/or stop our manufacturing activities, in order to
ensure that suitable modifications are carried out therein for ensuring compliance with such statutory
and/or regulatory requirements. Our failure to comply with any statutory and/or regulatory requirements
in connection with environment, health and safety could affect our operations, financial condition and
profitability.

11. We may not be able to implement any proposed acquisition, partnership or alliance as part of our
business or growth strategy successfully or timely and may require additional capital to fund such
proposed acquisition, partnership or alliance, which would adversely affect our operations and
profitability.

Our ability to implement fully or successfully any future acquisitions, partnership or alliance we make in
the future as part of our business strategy is dependent upon our ability to identify new opportunities for
acquisitions, partnerships or alliances to enhance our presence in the domestic markets and/or improve
our production efficiency and reduce production costs. Our results of future operations may be materially
adversely affected if we are unable to implement such growth strategies.

12. Our failure to accurately forecast and manage inventory could result in an unexpected shortfall
and/or surplus of products, which could have a material adverse impact on our profitability.

We monitor our inventory levels based on our own projections of future demand. Because of the length
of time necessary to produce commercial quantities of our products, we make production decisions well
in advance of sales. An inaccurate forecast of demand for any product can result in the
unavailability/surplus of products. This unavailability of products in high demand may depress sales
volumes and adversely affect customer relationships. Conversely, an inaccurate forecast can also result in
an over-supply of products, which may increase costs, negatively impact cash flow, reduce the quality of
inventory, erode margins substantially and ultimately create write-offs of inventory. Any of the aforesaid
circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

13. Our profitability may be adversely affected in the event any investments made by our Company in
connection with our existing business may not yield favourable results.

4
 Our Company has and may continue to invest in businesses in connection with our existing lines of
businesses and matters incidental thereto, for instance, we invested in acquiring 32% of Starlite Lighting
Limited with an object of sourcing CFL lamps for our lighting and luminaires buisinesses. We cannot
assure that such investments made by us would yield desired results. If our Company is unable to benefit
from the synergies or efficiencies expected from these investments, or if such investments do not yield
desired results, our profitability may be adversely affected.

14. We are subject to risks associated with product warranty, recall and product liability costs due to
defects in our products, that may not be covered by insurance, which could generate substantial
claims, adverse publicity or adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Defects, if any, in our products could require us to undertake service actions or product recalls. These
actions could require us to expend considerable resources in correcting these problems and could
adversely affect demand for our products. We are not completely covered by insurance for product
liability claims. Repeated successful warranty claims would adversely affect our results of operations.
Management resources could also be diverted away from our business towards defending such claims. As
a result, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer. We cannot assure you
that the limitations of liability set forth in our contracts will be enforceable in all instances or will
otherwise protect us from liability for damages.

15. Limits on intellectual property and other statutory/regulatory protection may make us vulnerable to
competition from other parties that use similar technology and expertise. Accordingly, our inability to
procure protection on the intellectual property rights with respect to the processes and/or technology
could adversely affect our profitability.

While we may in the course of our research and development develop processes and/or technology which
differentiates our processes and/or technology from those of our competitors, such processes and/or
technology may not be capable of being adequately protected by intellectual property rights and may be
subject to statutory or regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions. Accordingly, our inability to procure
protection on the intellectual property rights with respect to the processes and/or technology could
adversely affect our profitability.

16. Our inability to register the trade and service marks used by us for the purposes of our business, in a
timely manner or at all could adversely affect our operations, brand position, goodwill and
profitability.

The applications for registration of some of the trade and service marks used by us are pending before the
relvant trademark authorities. Our inability to register such trademarks and/or service marks in a timely
manner or at all, could adversely affect our goodwill, brand position and/or profitability.

17. We sell our products in highly competitive markets. Inability to compete effectively may lead to lower
market share or reduced operating margins, and adversely affect our operations and profitability.

We sell our products in highly competitive markets, and competition in these markets is based primarily
on demand and price. Further the consumer durables sector is highly unorganised. As a result, to remain
competitive in our markets, we must continuously strive to reduce our production, transportation and
distribution costs and improve our operating efficiencies. If we are unable to respond effectively to these
competitive pressures, our competitors may be able to sell their products at prices lower than our prices,
which would have an adverse effect on our market share and results of operations.

Certain of our competitors may be larger than us in terms of production capacity and/or a more extensive
global operation, and may benefit from greater economies of scale and operating efficiencies. There can
be no assurance that we can continue to effectively compete with such manufacturers in the future, and
failure to compete effectively may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.

5
18. Our success significantly depends on our management and operational teams and other skilled
professionals. If we fail to retain, motivate and/or attract such personnel, our business may be unable
to grow and our revenues could decline, which may decrease the value of our Equity Shares.

We are highly dependent on the senior members of our management and operational team. Our ability to
execute contract engagements and to obtain new clients depends in large part on our ability to attract,
train, motivate and retain highly skilled professionals. If we cannot hire and retain additional qualified
personnel, our ability to bid on and obtain new contracts and to continue to expand may be impaired and
our revenues could decline. We believe that there is significant competition for electrical engineering and
products professionals with the necessary skill-sets. Although we provide an extensive mentoring, career
counselling and constant development opportunities to meet the challenge of employee attrition among
our professionals, we may not be able to hire and retain enough skilled and experienced employees to
replace those who leave. Additionally, we may not be able to redeploy and retrain our employees to keep
pace with continuing changes, evolving standards and changing client preferences. If we fail to retain,
motivate and/or attract such personnel, our business may be unable to grow and our revenues could
decline, which may decrease the value of our Equity Shares.

19. The operations of our engineering and projects division is dependent upon the demand for power
generation, transmission and distribution and any slowdown in the growth of these industries would
seriously impact our growth and may result in decline in profits.

The results of our business and operations relating to our engineering and projects division are dependent
on the demand for power in India, which in turn is closely linked to the economic growth of the country
and the policy and regulatory framework pertaining to the power sector. With growth of the economy,
economic activities, such as industrial production and personal consumption, also tend to increase, which
increases the demand for power. Moreover, the capacity of power generation and transmission is largely
dependant on the reformative policies of the government relating to the power sector and the realisation
of the various schemes and plans formulated by the government in this regard. If the economy does not
continue to grow at the current rate, or if industrial production and personal consumption decline or
stagnate, demand for power in India is likely to decline, which may adversely affect our operations and
profitability. Further, any slowdown in governmental reforms relating to the power sector, or failure to
realise various plans formulated with regard to power generation and transmission may adversely affect
our operations and financial conditions.

20. We may be affected by labour strikes or other disruptions in connection with labor that could adversely
affect our operations, profitability and financial condition.

We cannot assure you that we will not experience labour unrest in the future, which may delay or disrupt
our operations. If work stoppages, work slow-downs or lockouts at our facilities occur or continue for a
prolonged period of time, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

21. Most of the properties used by our Company for the purposes of its operations are not owned by our
Company. Any termination of the lease and/or leave and license agreements or our failure to renew
the same could adversely affect our operations.

Currently, 96 of the 102 properties used by us, including our registered office, are not owned by us, of
which 46 properties are held by us on a leasehold basis and 50 properties are held pursuant to leave and
license agreements. Any termination of the lease and/or leave and license agreements or our failure to
renew the same, and upon favourable conditions, in a timely manner or at all could adversely affect our
operations.

22. Our inability to renew or maintain our statutory and regulatory permits and approvals required to
operate our business would adversely affect our operations and profitability.

We are required to obtain and maintain various statutory and regulatory permits and approvals to operate
our business. In the future, we will be required to renew such permits and approvals and obtain new
permits and approvals for any proposed operations. While we believe that we will be able to renew or

6
 obtain such permits and approvals as and when required, there can be no assurance that the relevant
authorities will issue any of such permits or approvals in the time-frame anticipated by us or at all.
Failure by us to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals may result in the interruption
of our operations and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.

23. Any unfavorable outcome in legal proceedings initiated by or against us may adversely affect our
operations and profitability.

A number of judicial, arbitral, administrative and other proceedings have been initiated by and/or against
our Company and are pending adjudication before various authorities, which have arisen in the ordinary
course of business of our Company. In the event that a substantial portion of these proceedings or one or
more of the proceedings involving a substantial amount are decided against us, our operations and
profitability could be adversely affected. The material legal proceedings initiated by or against our
Company can be summarised as follows:

Legal proceedings initiated against us:

Nature of Proceedings Number of Proceedings Pending Aggregate approximate amount

involved (in Rs. in lacs)
Civil and Arbitral 12 156.13
Tax Related Proceedings 37 44.80

Legal proceedings initiated by us:

Nature of Proceedings Number of Proceedings Pending Aggregate approximate amount

involved (in Rs. in lacs)
Criminal 36 70.64
Civil 18 490.33
Tax Related Proceedings 145 595.4
Intellectual Property 5 Cannot be quantified

For further details, please refer to the section titled “Legal Proceedings”.

24. Our inability to procure and/or maintain adequate insurance cover in connection with our business
may adversely affect our operations and profitability.

Our operations are subject to inherent risks, such as defects, malfunctions and failures of manufacturing
equipment, fire, riots, strikes, explosions, loss-in-transit for our products, accidents and natural disasters.
Our insurance may not be adequate to completely cover any or all of our liabilities. Further, there is no
assurance that the insurance premiums payable by us will be commercially viable or justifiable. Our
inability to procure and/or maintain adequate insurance cover in connection with our business could
adversely affect our operations and profitability.

25. Our operations are subject to high working capital requirements. Our inability to obtain and/or
maintain sufficient cash flow, credit facilities and other sources of funding, in a timely manner, or at
all, to meet our requirement of working capital or pay our debts, could adversely affect our operations,
financial condition and profitability.

Our operations require a substantial amount of working capital. We are required to obtain and/or maintain
adequate cash flows and funding facilities, from time to time, in order to, inter-alia, finance the purchase
of raw materials, products and components, upgrade and maintain our manufacturing facilities. Our
inability to obtain and/or maintain sufficient cash flow, credit facilities and other sources of funding, in a

7
 timely manner, or at all, to meet our requirement of working capital or pay our debts, could adversely
affect our operations, financial condition and profitability.

26. If we are unable to obtain the necessary funds for our growth plans, our business and operations will
be adversely affected.

Our funding requirements for new projects are substantial, and our ability to finance these plans is subject
to a number of risks, contingencies and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, including
general economic and capital markets conditions and our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms.

We cannot assure you that debt or equity financing or our internal accruals will be available or sufficient
to meet the funding of our growth plans.

Our ability to obtain required capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties,
including:

• limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, including as a result of prospective lenders’
evaluations of our creditworthiness and pursuant to restrictions on incurrence of debt in our existing
and anticipated credit facilities;

• investors' and lenders' perception of, and demand for, debt and equity securities of power generation
and transmission companies, as well as the offerings of competing financing and investment
opportunities in India by our competitors;

• whether it is necessary to provide credit support or other assurances from our Promoter on terms and
conditions and in amounts that are commercially acceptable to them;

• limitations on our ability to raise capital in the capital markets and conditions of the Indian, U.S. and
other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds; and

• our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Any inability to raise sufficient capital to fund our projects could have a material adverse effect on our
business and results of operations.

27. The conditions and restrictions imposed by our financing and other agreements could adversely affect
our ability to conduct our business and operations.

Most of our financing arrangements are secured by substantially all of our movable and immovable
assets. Many of our financing agreements also include numerous conditions and covenants that require us
to obtain lenders consents prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions.
Failure to obtain these consents or observe these covenants could have significant consequences on our
business and operations.

Any failure to comply with the requirement to obtain a consent, or other condition or covenant under our
financing agreements that is not waived by our lenders or is not otherwise cured by us, may lead to a
termination of our credit facilities, acceleration of all amounts due under such facilities and trigger cross
default provisions under certain of our other financing agreements and may adversely affect our ability to
conduct our business and operations or implement our business plans.

28. If any of our contingent liabilities materialise, our liquidity, business, prospects, financial condition
and results of operations could be adversely affected.

If any of the contingent liabilities not provided for in the financial statements of our Company as on
March 31, 2009, materialise, our liquidity, business, prospects, financial condition and results of

8
 operations could be adversely affected. For further details please refer to the section titled “Financial
Statements” of the Preliminary Placement Document.

29. Hind Lamps Limited, a company in which our Company is a promoter, has been declared as a sick
industrial company under the SICA, pursuant to an order passed by the BIFR.

Pursuant to an order passed by the BIFR, Hind Lamps Limited, was declared as a Sick Industrial
Company under the SICA. Our Company holds 50% of the equity share capital of Hind Lamps Limited
and has been classified as a promoter thereof. Further we source a major portion of the electrical lamps
and tube lights marketed and distributed by us from Hind Lamps Limted. Further, our Company pursuant
to a letter dated July 2, 2009, has agreed to extend financial and other assistance in relation to the
business of Hind Lamps Limited until the accumulated losses of Hind Lamps Limited are cleared and it is
able to sustain its operations and meet its obligations. Consequently, any unfavourable outcome in the
proceedings under SICA pending before the BIFR and/or any unfavourable terms of a scheme of
rehabilitation that may be framed, in connection with Hind Lamps Limited, may adversely affect
profitability.

EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS

30. Political instability or changes in the policies formulated by the Government of India from time to time
could affect the liberalization of the Indian economy and adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

We are incorporated in India and a significant portion of our fixed assets and human resources are located
in India. Our business, and the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares may be adversely affected
by changes in foreign exchange rates and regulations, interest rates, government policy, taxation, social
and civil unrest and other political, economic or other developments in or affecting India.

The rate of economic liberalisation in India could change in future, and statutory/regulatory requirements
and/or policies the general economic environment in India, foreign investment, the securities market,
currency exchange and other matters affecting our business and/or investment in our securities could
change as well. Any significant change in liberalisation and deregulation of policies in India could
adversely affect business and economic conditions in India generally and our business, operations and
profitability in particular.

31. The Government of India may regulate the prices of steel. Consequently, the prices that we are able to
receive for our steel products in India may decline.

The Government of India formulates policies for the growth and development of the Indian steel industry
from time to time. Although, today the Indian steel industry has been deregulated and steel prices are
now subject to market forces, no assurance can be given that the Indian Government will not introduce
price controls in the future. If the Government of India intervenes in determining the price of steel in
India, our results of operations for our engineering and projects SBU could be adversely affected which
in turn may adversely affect our financial condition.

32. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and harm our business.

India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, floods, drought and a tsunami in recent
years. The extent and severity of these natural disasters determines their impact on the Indian economy.
Prolonged spells of abnormal rainfall and other natural calamities could have an adverse impact on the
Indian economy which could adversely affect our business and the price of our Equity Shares.

9
33. A slowdown in the economic growth in India or in the economy globally could significantly affect our
growth rates.

Our operations are primarily located in India and our business operations and performance are dependent
on the overall economy, the gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth rate and the economic cycle in
India. The Indian economy could be adversely affected by a number of factors. Any slowdown in the
Indian economy or volatility in global commodity prices, in particular oil and steel prices, could
adversely affect the Indian economy. The Indian economy could also be adversely affected by a general
rise in interest rates and unfavourable weather conditions adversely affecting agriculture. A slowdown in
the Indian economy could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Additionally, any global economic slowdown could significantly affect our growth rates. An adverse
change in the global economy may result in decreased business from existing customers as well as
increased difficulty in finding new customers.

34. There may be less company information available in Indian securities markets than more developed
countries.

There is a difference between the level of regulation, disclosure and monitoring of the Indian securities
markets and the activities of investors, brokers, intermediaries and other participants and that of markets
in the United States and other developed economies. There may, however, be less publicly available
information about Indian companies than is regularly made available by public companies in more
developed economies. As a result, you may have access to less information about our business, results of
operations and financial conditions, and those of our competitors whose securities are listed on stock
exchanges in India on an ongoing basis than you may have in the case of companies subject to reporting
requirements of other more developed countries.

35. The lack of efficacious judicial remedies in India, and the inability of our Company and/or our
shareholders to obtain any favourable order, judgment or decree from a court of competent
jurisdiction in India in a timely manner, or at all, may adversely affect their respective rights.

In comparison with the judicial systems in other developed countries, the judicial system in India is slow
and suffers from procedural impediments. Consequently, it may be difficult for our Company and/or our
shareholders to enforce their legal rights in a timely manner, or at all, in legal proceedings initiated by our
Company and/or our shareholders. Moreover, our Company and/or our shareholders may be unable to
obtain a favourable order, judgment or decree, as the case may be, from a court of competent jurisdiction
in India in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the rights of our shareholders and/or the
financial performance and operations of our Company.

36. Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and other accounting principles with which
investors may be more familiar, such as the IFRS and the US GAAP.

Accounting, financial and other reporting standards prescribed by various statutory and/or regulatory
bodies/authorities in India may differ from those prevalent in more developed countries, inter-alia
including the IFRS and the US GAAP. Consequently, there might be substantial differences between the
accounting standards and disclosure norms prevalent in India and in other countries in connection with
valuation of properties and other assets, accounting for depreciation, deferred taxation, contingent
liabilities and foreign exchange transactions. As a result, investors in our securities may be exposed to a
relatively lesser degree of information, which may affect their interests adversely.

37. Pursuant to an order of an Industrial Tribunal, we may be directed to regularise or absorb contract
labour employed by us, which may result in an increase in our expenses and may adversely affect our
profitability.

We are registered as a principal employer under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act,
1970. Pursuant to any application made by contract labourers employed by us, an Industrial Court or

10
 Tribunal may direct us to regularise or absorb such contract labour. Further, the State Government may
prohibit the employment of contract labour. If either of the above should occur, we may be required to
induct such labourers on our payroll, as employees, which may result in increased expenses and
consequently, may adversely affect our profitability.

38. Financial instability in other countries, particularly emerging market countries, could adversely
impact our business.

The Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other
countries, particularly countries with emerging markets. Any slowdown of economic growth in such
countries, particularly those located in Asia may adversely affect the Indian economy. Although
economic conditions are different in each country, investors' reaction to developments in one country can
have adverse effects on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. A loss of investor
confidence in the financial systems of emerging and other markets may cause increased volatility in
Indian financial markets which may adversely affect the market price of our Equity Shares.

39. Terrorist attacks, civil disturbances, regional conflicts and other acts of violence in India and abroad
may disrupt or otherwise adversely affect our Company’s business and its profitability.

Certain events that are beyond the control of our Company, such as terrorist attacks and other acts of
violence or war, including those involving India, the United Kingdom, the United States or other
countries, may adversely affect worldwide financial markets and could potentially lead to a severe
economic recession, which could adversely affect our Company’s business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows, and more generally, any of these events could lower confidence in
India’s economy. Southern Asia has, from time to time, experienced instances of civil unrest and political
tensions and hostilities among neighbouring countries, including India, Pakistan and China. India
recently witnessed a major terrorist attack in Mumbai on November 26, 2008, which led to an escalation
of political tensions between India and Pakistan. Political tensions could create a perception that there is a
risk of disruption of services provided by India-based companies, which could have an adverse effect on
our Company’s business, future financial performance and price of the Equity Shares. Furthermore, if
India were to become engaged in armed hostilities, particularly hostilities that are protracted or involve
the threat or use of nuclear weapons, the Company's operations might be significantly affected.

India has from time to time experienced social and civil unrest and hostilities, including riots, regional
conflicts and other acts of violence. Events of this nature in the future could have a material adverse
effect on our Company’s ability to develop its business. As a result, our Company’s business, results of
operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

40. Our Company’s ability to raise foreign capital may be constrained by Indian law.

As an Indian company, our Company is subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign
currencies. Such regulatory restrictions limit our Company’s financing sources and hence could constrain
its ability to obtain financing on competitive terms and refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, our
Company cannot assure you that the required approvals will be granted to it without onerous conditions,
if at all. Limitations on raising foreign debt may have an adverse effect on our Company’s business
growth, financial condition and results of operations.

There are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control
of our Company. Although these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of
investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting
to take control of our Company. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our Company would result
in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial
to its stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover would not be attempted or consummated because of
Indian takeover regulations.

11
41. The market value of your investment may fluctuate due to the volatility of the Indian securities market.

Indian securities markets may be more volatile than the securities markets in other developed countries.
The Stock Exchanges have, in the past, experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed
securities.

The Stock Exchanges have experienced problems, inter alia, including temporary exchange closures,
broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokers and/or other intermediaries in the securities
market. If such or similar problems were to continue or recur, could affect the market price and liquidity
of the securities of Indian companies, including the Equity Shares. In addition, the governing bodies of
the Stock Exchanges have from time to time imposed restrictions on trading in certain securities,
limitations on price movements and margin requirements.

42. Shareholders will bear the risk of fluctuations in the price of the Equity Shares.

The price of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges may fluctuate after this offering as a result of
several factors, including: volatility in the Indian and global securities market; operations and
performance of the Company; performance of its competitors and the perception in the market about
investments in the electrical products and services industry; adverse media reports on the Company or the
Indian electrical industry; changes in the estimates of the Company’s performance or recommendations
by financial analysts; significant developments in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation
policies; and significant developments in India’s fiscal and environmental regulations. There can be no
assurance that the prices at which the Equity Shares are initially traded will correspond to the prices at
which the Equity Shares will trade in the market subsequently.

43. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely
affect a shareholder’s ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell Equity Shares at a particular point
in time

The Company is subject to a daily circuit breaker imposed by all stock exchanges in India which does not
allow transactions beyond certain volatility in the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates
independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on Stock
Exchanges. The percentage limits on the Company’s circuit breakers are set by the NSE, BSE and the
DSE. The NSE, BSE and the DSE does not inform the Company of the percentage limit of such circuit
breakers and may change it without the Company’s knowledge. This circuit breaker effectively limits the
upward and downward movements in the price of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker,
there can be no assurance regarding the ability of the Company’s Equity Shareholders to sell the Equity
Shares or the price at which shareholders may be able to sell their Equity Shares at a particular point in
time.

44. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Rupee and any other currency could have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Equity Shares, independent of the Company’s operating results.

The Equity Shares are quoted in Rupees on the BSE, NSE and the DSE. Any dividends in respect of the
Equity Shares will be paid in Rupees and may subsequently be converted into other currencies for
repatriation to any non-resident shareholder. Any adverse movement in exchange rates during the time it
takes to undertake such conversion may reduce the net dividend to investors. In addition, any adverse
movement in exchange rates during a delay in repatriating outside India the proceeds from a sale of
Equity Shares, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale
of Equity Shares may reduce the net proceeds received by shareholders. Further any fluctuations in the
exchange rates between the Rupee and any other currency may adversely affect the value of our Equity
Shares.

45. Future issuances or sales of the Equity Shares could significantly affect the trading price of our
Equity Shares, and may dilute your shareholding in our Company.

12
 The future issuances of Equity Shares by the Company or the disposal of Equity Shares by any of the
major shareholders of our Company or the perception that such issuance or sales may occur may
significantly affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. Further, any issuance of any Equity Shares
pursuant to the conversion or exchange of securities of our Company, or otherwise, may dilute your
shareholding in our Company.

There can be no assurance that our Company will not issue further Equity Shares or that the shareholders
will not dispose of, pledge or otherwise encumber their Equity Shares.

46. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares issued pursuant to the Issue will be listed on the BSE,
NSE and the DSE in a timely manner or at all.

In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of the Equity Shares issued
pursuant to the Issue will not be granted until after those Equity Shares have been issued and allotted.
Approval will require all other relevant documents authorising the issuing of Equity Shares to be
submitted. There could be a failure or delay in listing the Equity Shares on the BSE, NSE and the DSE.
Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval would restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity
Shares. Further, historical trading prices, therefore, may not be indicative of the prices at which the
Equity Shares will trade in the future.

47. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law that limit the
Company’s ability to attract foreign investors, which may adversely impact the market price of the
Equity Shares.

Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of Equity Shares between
non-residents and residents are freely permitted (subject to certain restrictions) if they comply with the
pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of Equity Shares,
which are sought to be transferred is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting
requirements or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then the prior approval of the RBI
will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale of
Equity Shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India will require a
no objection/ tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority. The Company cannot assure
investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other statutory and/or regulatory authority or
agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.

 DIVIDEND POLICY

Under the Companies Act unless the Board of Directors recommends the payment of a dividend, the
shareholders at a general meeting have no power to declare any dividend. The shareholders at a general
meeting may declare a lower, but not higher, dividend than that recommended by the Board. The dividend
recommended by the Board and approved by the shareholders at a general meeting is distributed and paid
to shareholders in proportion to the paid-up value of their Equity Shares on the record date for which such
dividend is payable. Dividends are payable within 30 days from the date of the general meeting of the
shareholders in which such dividends are approved. No shareholder is entitled to a dividend while any lien
in respect of unpaid calls on any of his Equity Shares is outstanding.

The Company’s Articles of Association under Article 182 provide for the authority to Board of Directors to
pay interim dividend.

Under the Companies Act, our Company may only pay a dividend in excess of 10 percent of paid-up
capital in respect of any year out of the profits of that year after it has transferred to the reserves of our
Company a percentage of its profits for that year ranging between 2.5 percent to 10 percent, depending
on the rate of dividend proposed to be declared in that year.

The Equity Shares to be issued pursuant to this Offering shall qualify for any dividend that is declared in
respect of the financial year in which they have been allotted.

Dividend Policy

The declaration and payment of dividend will be recommended by the Board of Directors and approved
by the shareholders at their discretion and will depend on our Company’s revenues, cash flows, financial
condition (including capital position) and other factors. The declaration and payment of equity dividend
would be governed by the applicable provisions of the Companies Act and Articles of Association of our
Company.

The following table details the dividend declared by our Company on the Equity Shares for the Financials
Years ended March 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009:

 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with
the Financial Statements, the notes and significant accounting policies thereto and the reports thereon, in
the section titled “Financial Statements”. The Financial Statements are based on Indian GAAP, which
differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles in other jurisdictions, such as the US
GAAP and the IFRS.

Our financial year ends on March 31 of each year, so all references to a particular Fiscal are to the
twelve-month period ended March 31 of that year.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements and reflects our current views with respect to future
events and financial performance. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors such as those set forth in the section titled “Risk
Factors”.

Overview

Our Company is a part of the Bajaj conglomerate of businesses and industries, (“Bajaj Group”), one of the
oldest conglomerate of businesses in India. The Bajaj Group has a diversified business line, having interests
in a range of businesses which amongst others, include manufacturing of two wheeler and three wheeler
automobiles, life and general insurance products, steel, consumer durables, lighting, electrical appliances,
engineering and project implementation, power transmission, and manufacture of high masts and power
tools.

Our Company is currently engaged in the businesses of marketing and distribution of appliances, fans,
lighting products, luminaires and undertakes projects for stadium lighting, road lighting, transmission
towers, high masts and rural electrification, among other projects. Our businesses can be broadly
categorized in five major strategic business units, (“SBUs”), namely, appliances, fans, lighting, luminaires
and engineering and projects.

In the financial year 2008-09, the turnover including other income of the Company has increased to
Rs.1,77,624.11 lacs as against Rs. 1,37,740.95 lacs in FY 2008 , registering a growth of 28.96%.

Key factors affecting our financial performance

The primary factors affecting our financial performance are the prices of key raw materials like Zinc, steel,
aluminium and copper, our capacity levels, our product mix, Outsourcing arrangements with our vendors
for the Consumer durables business and lighting business, Indian government policies and regulations and
purchasing power of Indian consumers.

• Raw Material Costs and Availability

Our Key raw materials include Zinc and steel used in the manufacturing of products of the Engineering
& Projects SBU and aluminium and copper which are used in products of Consumer durables and
lighting segment. In the Engineering and Projects SBU typical business cycle range anywhere
between 4-6 months for the highmast & poles business, 12-18 months for special projects business and
upto 24-30 months for the transmission line towers business. Highmast and poles contracts and special
projects contracts are generally fixed price contracts, which exposes us to the risk in fluctuations in the
raw material prices.

Incase of our consumer durables and lighting segment, we enter into outsourcing contracts with

21
 various third party vendors to manufacture the goods designed and developed by us. In case of these
contracts any fluctuation in the raw material prices has to be made good by us to the vendors which
indirectly exposes us to the risk in upward fluctuation in raw material prices.

• Product Mix

Our product mix also affects our financial results. The breadth of our product range gives us the
flexibility to adapt our product mix to market demands and to maximize margins. We intend to increase
the proportion of high margin and high value products in our product mix so as to better withstand
market dynamics and to offer a broad range of products to meet the growing requirements of
customers.

• Purchasing Power of Indian consumers

Around 42.81% of our Net Sales / Income from Operations was contributed by our Consumer durables
business unit in FY 2009. Our Consumer durable business is sensitive to a number of factors that
influence the levels of consumer spending, including political and economic conditions such as
recessionary environments, the levels of disposable consumer income. Any decline in consumer
spending on consumer durables could have an adverse effect on our operating results. This business is
also affected by changes in the statutory levies such as custom duty, excise duty and VAT.

• Government policies, budgetary allocations and capital expenditure plans of public sector
companies particularly in the infrastructure sector.

Demand for our Engineering & project business is primarily dependent on sustained economic
development and government policies relating to infrastructure development. It is also significantly
dependent on budgetary allocations made by governments to these sectors, as well as funding provided
by Indian, international and multilateral development finance institutions for development of such
sectors. Investments by the private sector companies in infrastructure projects are dependent on the
potential returns from such projects and are therefore linked to government policies relating to private
sector participation and the sharing of risks and returns from such projects.

Our ability to continue to capitalize on such increased activities in Power, Roads, Highways, bridges,
ports and such other areas wherein we operate is key to our future business growth.

• Outsourcing arrangements with Vendors

In our consumer durables and Lighting Business unit, we also operate on the outsourcing model,
wherein we outsource the manufacturing of some of the products to third party vendors In the event,
our suppliers/vendors are unable to supply the products / components that are sourced from them in
sufficient quantities or there is a loss of one or more significant suppliers/vendors, our ability to obtain
products/ components and/or at competitive rates could be adversely affect our perfomance.

• Competition

We compete with players both in the organised and unorganised segment. We face competition from
both domestic and foreign manufacturers for our consumer durables and Lighting business. In order to
compete effectively, we continue to focus on enhancing revenue growth through introduction of new
products, expansion of the dealer and retailer network, along with good brand building efforts in
addition to the taking measures for effective cost control, value engineering, competitive sourcing and
improving credit discipline. We also strive to continuously improve the technology and quality in order
to gain a competitive advantage. However, certain of our competitors may be larger than us in terms of
production capacity and/or a more extensive global operation, and may benefit from greater economies
of scale and operating efficiencies. Our failure to compete effectively with such manufacturers may
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

22
Significant Accounting Policies for FY 2009

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of
accounting and in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India and
comply with the Accounting Standards prescribed by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006
to the extent applicable as adopted consistently by the Company. For a full description of our significant
accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Financial Statements, please refer section titled
“Financial Statements ”.

System of Accounting :

i) The Company generally follows the accrual basis of accounting both as to income and expenditure
except those with significant uncertainties.
ii) Financial statements are based on historical cost. These costs are not adjusted to reflect the impact of the
changing value in the purchasing power of money.
iii) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and
assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of
relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the financial statements.

Revenue Recognition:

Income:

The Company recognizes income on accrual basis. However, where the ultimate collection of the same
lacks reasonable certainty, revenue recognition is postponed to the extent of uncertainty.

(1) Sales :
(a) Domestic Sales are accounted for on dispatch from the point of sale.
(b) Export sales are recognized on the basis of the dates of the Mate’s Receipt and initially recorded at the
relevant exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction.
(2) Interest is accrued over the period of the loan/investment.
(3) Dividend is accrued in the year in which it is declared whereby a right to receive is established.
(4) Profit/Loss on sale of investment is recognized on the contract date.
(5) Benefit on account of entitlement to import goods free of duty under the “Duty Entitlement Pass Book
Scheme” is accounted in the year of export.
(6) Revenue from erection contracts is recognised based on the stage of completion determined with
reference to the costs incurred on contracts and their estimated total costs. Provision for foreseeable
losses/ construction contingencies on erection contracts is made on the basis of technical assessments
of costs to be incurred and revenue to be accounted for.

The increase in expenditure was mainly attributable to increase in Rent on account of increase in godown
space, Freight and forwarding charges from Rs 2,551.20 lacs in FY 2008 to Rs 3,359.66 lacs in FY 2009
attributed to increase in sales volume and loss on account of Foreign exchange fluctuation amounting to Rs
573.47 lacs in FY 2009 as against a Foreign exchange fluctuation gain of Rs 127.36 lacs in FY 2008 due to
depreciation of rupee. The increase in Miscellaneous expenses to the tune of Rs 850.09 lacs Y-O-Y pertains

the year FY 2008 to 2.26% in FY 2009.

Depreciation

2007 . This was a less than proportionate increase as compared to the growth in income which increased by
27.17 % on a Y-O-Y basis thus reflecting operational efficiencies. The increase in expenditure was mainly
attributable to increase in Freight and forwarding charges to Rs 2,551.20 lacs in FY 2008 from Rs 2,145.22
lacs in FY 2007 due to increase in sales volume, increase in advertising and publicity expenses by 17.08%

by 17.41% Y-O-Y from Rs 1,991.09 in FY 2007 to Rs 2,337.68 lacs in FY 2008 due to increase in the

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

We need cash primarily to fund our working capital needs as our Engineering and Projects Business unit is
highly working capital intensive. We fund these working capital requirements through a variety of sources,
including cash from operations, and various short- and long-term lines of credit. These sources of funding,
and our ability to fund our capital expenditure needs, could be adversely affected by reduced liquidity in the
credit markets or other macroeconomic factors beyond our control.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss related to adverse changes in market prices, including interest rates and
foreign exchange rates, of financial instruments. We are exposed to various types of market risk, including
changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices, in the ordinary course of business.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term borrowings
which are linked to PLR rates.

Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on the prices of products that we import for our consumer
durables and Lightings business units. Further, we are also exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations on our
overseas borrowings. As a policy, we enter into forward contracts to mitigate the impact of such foreign
exchange fluctuations on our business.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to commodity price risk with respect to the raw material and components used in our
projects, consumer durable and lighting business. Our Key raw materials include Zinc and steel used in the
manufacturing of products of the Engineering & Projects business unit and aluminium and copper which
are used in products of Consumer durables and lighting segment. In the Engineering and Projects business
unit typical business cycle range anywhere between 4-6 months for the highmast & poles business, 12-18
months for special projects business and upto 24-30 months for the transmission line towers business.
Highmast, & poles contracts and special projects contracts are generally fixed price contracts, which
exposes us to the risk in fluctuations in the raw material prices. However this risk is mitigated on account
of shorter business cycle as well as back to back procurement arrangements done by us. Contracts for
transmission line towers contains price variation clause which protect us from fluctuation in prices of raw
material.

Litigation
We are involved in a number of legal proceedings including labour and tax related disputes. In the opinion
of the management, no material liability is likely to arise on account of such legal proceedings. However,
the outcome of litigation cannot always be predicted and some or all of these cases may be ruled against us,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
For details, please see section titled “Legal Proceedings”.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that were not yet effective as at March 31, 2009 that will
result in a change in our Company’s significant accounting policies.
However, The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the accounting body that regulates the
accounting profession in India, has announced its intentions to converge with the IFRS, pursuant to which
all public companies in India or such other companies as may be prescribed, will be required to prepare
their annual and interim financial statements under IFRS. Our Company may also be required to prepare
our annual and interim financial statements under IFRS.

Indian Economy

The Indian economy is one of the largest economies in the world with a gross domestic product (“GDP”) at
current prices of Rs. 49.3 trillion (approximately US$1 trillion) with a real GDP growth rate of 6.7% for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. In recent years, India has become a popular destination for foreign
direct investment (“FDI”), owing to its well-developed private corporate sector, large consumer market
potential, large, well-educated and English speaking work force, and a well established legal system. India
attracted FDI of approximately US$73.2 billion during Fiscal 2006 and Fiscal 2009.

In 2008, China and India sustained real GDP growth rates of 9.0% and 7.3%, respectively, among the
highest by any economy in the world. The following table shows India’s economic growth in comparison to
other developing countries:

* Annual percentage change in GDP at constant prices

Source: International Monetary Fund, World Economic Outlook Database, April 2009

Per capita GDP (at constant prices) in India has grown from approximately Rs. 12,900 for the fiscal year
ended March 1991 at the time of liberalization to approximately Rs. 27,400 for the fiscal year ended March
2008. This increase in per capita income has created increasing wealth and has had a significant investment
multiplier effect on the economy, leading to increasing consumerism and positively impacting savings.

37
Additionally, India has a large and rapidly growing young middle class with increasing levels of
discretionary income available for consumption and investment purposes. The last five years have seen not
only a great expansion of the Indian economy but also of consumer credit.

The Consumer Durables Industry in India

The consumer durables industry consists of durable goods and appliances for domestic use such as
televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines. The sector has been witnessing significant
growth in recent years, helped by several drivers such as the emerging retail boom, real estate and housing
demand, greater disposable income and an overall increase in the level of affluence of a significant section
of the population.

The consumer durables industry can be broadly classified into two segments:

• Consumer Electronics; and

• Consumer Appliances.

Consumer Appliances can be further categorised into Brown Goods and White Goods. The key product
lines under each segment are as follows.

India’s Consumer Market

India officially classifies its population in five groups, based on annual household income (based on year
1995-96 indices). These groups are: Lower Income; three subgroups of Middle Income; and Higher
Income. However, the rupee income classifications by themselves do not present a realistic picture of
market potential for a foreign business enterprise, because of significant differences in purchase power
parities of various currencies. However, the National Council for Applied Economic Research (NCAER)
has released an alternative classification system based on consumption indicators, which is more relevant
for ascertaining consumption patterns of various classes of goods.

There are five classes of consumer households, ranging from the destitute to the highly affluent, which
differ considerably in their consumption behavior and ownership patterns across various categories of
goods. These classes exist in urban as well as rural households both, and consumption trends may differ
significantly between similar income households in urban and rural areas.

Overview of India’s Consumer Durables Market

Most of the segments in the consumer goods sector are characterized by intense competition, emergence of
new companies and introduction of state-of-the-art models, price discounts and exchange schemes. Multi
national companies continue to dominate the Indian consumer durable segment. In consonance with the
global trend, over the years, demand for consumer durables has increased with rising income levels,
double-income families, changing lifestyles, availability of credit, increasing consumer awareness and
introduction of new models.

38
The consumer durables market in India was estimated to be around US$ 4.5 billion in 2006-07. More than
70 lakh units of consumer durable appliances have been sold in the year 2006-07 with colour televisions
(CTV) forming the bulk of the sales with 30 per cent share of volumes. CTV, refrigerators and Air-
conditioners together constitute more than 60 per cent of the sales in terms of the number of units sold.
(Source: IBEF– Consumer Durables, Market & Opportunities)

Branded goods account for 10 per cent of the total consumer goods market in India, while organised
retailing is around 2 per cent of the total industry. (Source: IBEF– Consumer Durables, Market &
Opportunities) Though branded products are perceived to be costlier than non-branded products, the
penetration of branded products is increasing. The relative shares of branded products and organised retail
indicate that a significant share of branded products is being sold through unorganised channels. This
highlights the need for a strong distribution network to penetrate deeper into the potential market.

Domestic Electrical Appliances

Brown goods or domestic kitchen appliances are indicators of the changing consumer scenario in post-
liberalisation economic environment. The major products constituting the brown goods market are mixers,
grinders, irons, microwave-ovens, rice cookers, water heaters or geysers, electric fans and exhausts.

The branded brown goods market has expanded at a significant pace and is expected to retain the
momentum into the future as well. The market has been transformed by the entry of over a dozen new
brands, moreover competition has intensified. While focus on price competency remains a key priority,
players have also started focusing on other product features such as safety and total cost of ownership of
the device.

Goods, like the rice cooker have been continuously growing in a slow and steady manner over a significant
period of time, while microwave ovens have grown exponentially after the initial period of customisation to
local requirements. The electrical iron market can be divided into two segments: heavy and light-weight.
The market is also segmented into two sub-segments: steam and non-steam irons.

India being a tropical country, electric fans are an essential utility for more than six months of the year in
most parts of the country. The present market size is estimated at around 116 lakh pieces. The market is
divided among ceiling, pedestal, wall and table fans. Industrial and exhaust fans are another important
segment. (Source: IBEF– Consumer Durables, Market & Opportunities)

The electrical appliances industry, which had been focused on the urban market, is now reaching out to
semi-urban and rural markets as well, because of the shift in living style of the population, increasing
electrification of villages and relatively higher purchasing power of consumers. As the market penetrates
into the core middle class segment in both urban and rural areas, it is expected to expand phenomenally,
offering large volumes to the industry.

39
Trends Favoring the Growth of the Consumer Durables Industry

The key trends that impact the Indian Consumer Durables Industry today are as follows:

Further, Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of products has become a key determent in the saleability and
marketability of consumer durables, due consumer concerns about inflation and soaring energy bills,
leading them to prefer appliances which offer energy-efficiency. Although currently it is not mandatory by
law to state the EER of a product, this is likely to become compulsory over the forecast period, especially
for air conditioners, refrigerators, fans and later on other domestic appliances.

The Indian domestic electrical appliances market faced considerable challenges in the year 2008. Rising
raw material prices for steel, copper and plastics, as well as soaring global petroleum prices, impacted the
market throughout 2008. Rising inflation, sliding stock markets and the virtual absence of consumer
finance schemes also collectively led to low consumer confidence and dampened sales of domestic
electrical appliances in the first half of 2008, lowering volume growth to single-digit growth. Problems
were more severe in certain categories, such as air conditioners, due to a more severe winter and milder
summer in 2008. Price rises were seen in many large appliances categories, meaning that consumers
postponed purchases, or cut down on what they perceived to be luxury purchases. (Source: IBEF–
Consumer Durables, Market & Oppurtunities)

Policy Framework (Source: IBEF– Consumer Durables, Market & Oppurtunities)

Opportunities and Challenges

The Challenges

Rural Markets difficult to penetrate

The majority of the Indian population that lives in its villages still remains relevant for some consumer
durables companies. Also, foraying into these rural markets has a considerable cost component attached to
it. Companies not only have to set up the basic infrastructure in terms of office space, manpower, but also
spend on transportation for moving inventory.

Poor Infrastructure

Poor infrastructure is another reason that seems to have held back the industry. Regular power supply is
imperative for any consumer electronics product. But that remains a major hiccup in India.

40
The Opportunities

Economic growth

The rising rate of growth of GDP, rising purchasing power of people with higher propensity to consume
with preference for sophisticated brands would provide constant impetus to growth of white goods industry
segment.

Consumer Loans

Penetration of consumer durables would be deeper in rural India if banks and financial institutions come
out with liberal incentive schemes for the white goods industry segment, growth in disposable income,
improving lifestyles, power availability, low running cost, and rise in temperatures.

The increasing popularity of easily available consumer loans and the expansion of hire purchase schemes
will give a moral boost to the price-sensitive consumers. The attractive schemes of financial institutions
and commercial banks are increasingly becoming suitable for the consumer. Consumer goods companies
are themselves coming out with attractive financing schemes to consumers through their extensive dealer
network. This has a direct bearing on future demand.

Consumer awareness

Currently, rural consumers purchase their durables from the nearest towns, leading to increased expenses
due to transportation. Purchase necessarily done only during the harvest, festive and wedding seasons —
April to June and October to November in North India and October to February in the South, believed to be
months `good for buying’, should be converted to routine regular feature from the seasonal character.

Growth of media and advertising

The other factor for surging demand for consumer goods is the phenomenal growth of media in India. The
flurry of television channels and the rising penetration of cinemas will continue to spread awareness of
products in the remotest of markets. The vigorous marketing efforts being made by the domestic majors
will help the industry. The internet being now used by the market functionaries that will lead to intelligence
sales of the products. It will help to sustain the demand boom witnessed recently in this sector. The ability
of imports to compete is set to rise. However, the effective duty protection is still quite high at about 35-40
per cent. So, a flood of imports is unlikely and would be rather need based.

new models / product range under our various business verticals so as to cater to the growing
demands of our consumers and to diversify our revenue streams and cater to the requirements of
both our domestic consumers and our customers in the industrial/infrastructure sectors. Under
appliances, we propose to introduce new models in mixers, water heaters, iron, coolers and gas
appliances, and introduce new products such as inverters and induction cooker. Our focus would
be on our newly introduced "PLATINI" range of appliances which cater to the premium segment.
Under fans, we propose to introduce new models in premium and decorative fans, remote
controlled fans. We also propose to enter new business segments such as pumps and motors.
Under our luminaires SBU, too we intend to enter new segments such as integrated building
management systems and HVAC, fire alarm and security systems.

under each of our SBUs. In order to further strengthen our markets and increase our geographical
presence. We propose to appoint super distributors for rural lighting, appliances and fans. We also
propose to consolidate our marketing in the “Kirana” segment for distribution of our lighting
products. We also propose to improve our presence in retail for appliances and fans.

MARKETING AND BRAND BUILDING

Over a course of years our brands “Bajaj” and “Morphy Richards” (for electrical appliances) in India has
gained recognition and brand equity. We believe our alliances with Morphy Richards Limited, United
Kingdom and Nardi, Italy for our appliances business, Midea and Walt Disney for our fans business, Trilux
Lenze, Germany, Disano, Italy and Securiton, Switzerland for our lighting and luminaires business and
Abacus, United Kingdom for sports lighting components and equipment have enabled us in strengthening
our brand equity and introducing global brands in India, which in turn has augmented the marketability of
our products.

This network of marketing agents provide our customers with a first point of contact for us in each of our
markets and our marketing efforts are further complimented by the direct involvement of our marketing
team for each inquiry and order.

We participate in a variety of international trade shows including trade shows on design, development and
techonology related to electrical equipment, heavy engineering and infrastructure specific trade shows. In
addition to attracting potential customers, we believe the trade shows provide us a platform to increase our
stature and credibility.

COMPETITION

Much of the market in which we operate in is unorganized and fragmented with many small and medium-
sized companies. We face substantial competition for each of our products from other manufacturers in
domestic or divisions of large multinational corporations, as well as domestic competitors. We compete
with other manufacturers on the basis of product range, product quality, product price, after sales service
including factors, based on reputation, regional needs, and customer convenience.

In order to compete effectively, we continue to focus on enhancing revenue growth through introduction of
new products, expansion of the dealer and retailer network, along with good brand building efforts in
addition to the taking measures for effective cost control, value engineering, competitive sourcing and
improving credit discipline. We also strive to continuously improve the technology and quality in order to
gain a competitive advantage. However, certain of our competitors may be larger than us in terms of
production capacity and/or a more extensive global operation, and may benefit from greater economies of
scale and operating efficiencies. Our failure to compete effectively with such manufacturers may have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our competition varies for each of our products and regions. We have to compete with different players in
different products in different regions, from both the organized and unorganized sectors. Overall, our
Company’s major competitors include Philips, Kenstar, Usha and Maharaja for electrical appliances,
Crompton, Usha, Orient, Havells, Polar and Khaitan for fans, Philips, Crompton, Surya and Wipro for our
lighting products and Luminaire products, and Philips, Crompton, Kalpataru Power, KEC and Jyoti for our
engineering and projects business.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

We have a strong focus on the research and development of products, processes and technology to
endeavor to achieve a leading position in our market. In order to achieve this, we:

53
• endeavor to maintain highly trained and experienced employees
• use the latest technology available worldwide, to create high quality products;
• strive to build our strength with respect to a technological edge;
• continue to develop new manufacturing and testing facilities to eliminate defects in our products;
and
• provide training to our employees to upgrade their competencies and skills.

Our management is committed to providing all necessary resources for research and development in order
to achieve the above stated objectives.

approved by the Government of India as a recognized Test House for lighting and luminaires. Further we
have an in-house fan designing and development centre at Pune and also have in-house capabilities of
design and development of lighting, civil and structural engineering and electrical systems.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

We have implemented quality assurance management systems and procedures that are aimed to ensure
consistency in the standard of our products and services across various areas of our business operations.
Our facilities operate in strict accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. Furthermore, we
have successfully implemented an ERP package sourced by Oracle which has helped us to streamline the
manufacturing process at our facilities and to maintain a synergy between all levels in the organization.

We have established a product development and quality assurance center at Mumbai for our small
appliances. Our products are generally inspected, tested and certified for quality, in-house as well as by
third-party agencies. We continue to strive to upgrade and meet our customers' special requirements, to
have edge on competitors and to deliver quality products which give customer satisfaction. We invest in
upgrading our equipment and technology and add new equipment from time to time.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

We are committed to training and safety of our employees. Our goal is to provide an injury and accident
free work environment by applying our safety management systems. Our policies, procedures and training
programs have all been developed in line with recognised industry standards, supplemented by input from
management and employees. Our quality and safety management systems are subject to regular client

 THE SECURITIES MARKET OF INDIA

The information in this section has been extracted from publicly available documents from various sources,
including officially prepared materials from the SEBI, the BSE, the DSE and the NSE, and has not been
prepared or independently verified by our Company or the Sole Global Co-ordinator and Book Running
Lead Manager or any of their respective affiliates or advisors.

The Indian Securities Market

India has a long history of organised securities trading. In 1875, the first stock exchange was established in
Mumbai.

Stock Exchange Regulations

Indian stock exchanges are regulated primarily by SEBI, as well as by the Government of India acting
through the Ministry of Finance, Capital Markets Division, under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act
1956, as amended (‘‘SCRA and the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957, as amended (‘‘SCRR,
which, along with the rules, bye-laws and regulations of the respective stock exchanges, regulate the
recognition of stock exchanges, the qualifications for membership thereof and the manner in which
contracts are entered into and enforced between members of the stock exchanges.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 granted powers to SEBI to regulate the Indian
securities markets, including stock exchanges and other intermediaries in the capital markets, to promote
and monitor self-regulatory organisations, to prohibit fraudulent and unfair trade practices and insider
trading and to regulate substantial acquisitions of shares and takeovers of companies. SEBI has also issued
guidelines and regulations concerning minimum disclosure requirements by public companies, rules and
regulations concerning investor protection, insider trading, substantial acquisitions of shares and takeovers
of companies, buy-backs of securities, delisting of securities, employee stock option schemes, stockbrokers,
merchant bankers, underwriters, mutual funds, foreign institutional investors, credit rating agencies and
other capital markets participants.

The Companies (Amendment) Act, 2000, amended the Companies Act and incorporated significant
provisions relating to securities, options in securities and equity shares with differential rights. Further, the
Companies Act, as amended, has empowered SEBI to administer certain provisions of the Companies Act
in so far as they relate to the issue and transfer of securities and non payment of dividends by listed public
companies as well as companies intending to list their securities on any recognized stock exchange in India,
and to conduct inspection of a company’s records in respect of matters relating to the issue and transfer of
securities. The power to prosecute defaulting companies in compliance with the said matter has also been
vested with SEBI.

SEBI has also set up a committee for the review of Indian securities laws, which has proposed a draft
Securities Bill. The draft Securities Bill, if enacted in its present form may result in a substantial revision in
the laws relating to securities transactions in India. The Companies Bill has been introduced in the Lok
Sabha on October 23, 2008.

Listing

The listing of securities on recognised Stock Exchanges is regulated by the Companies Act, the SCRA, the
SCRR, the SEBI Act and the listing agreement of the respective stock exchanges. Further, under the SCRR,
the governing body of each stock exchange is empowered to suspend trading of or dealing in a listed
security for breach of the Company’s obligations under such agreement, subject to the Company receiving
prior notice of the intent of the stock exchange. In the event that a suspension of a company’s securities
continues for a period in excess of three months, the company may appeal to the Securities Appellate
Tribunal (“SAT”) established under the SEBI Act to set aside the suspension. SEBI has the power to veto

92
stock exchange decisions in this regard. SEBI also has the power to amend such Listing Agreements and
the bye-laws of the stock exchanges in India.

Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement introduced by SEBI encompasses the framework of Corporate
Governance for all listed companies. Every company that wants to list its shares on the stock exchanges in
India must enter into a listing agreement with the concerned stock exchange. Clause 49 interalia provides
that:

• The Board of directors of the company shall have an optimum combination of executive and non-
executive directors with not less than fifty per cent of the board of directors comprising of non-
executive directors.

• Where the Chairman of the Board is a non-executive director, at least one-third of the Board should
comprise of independent directors and in case he is an executive director, at least half of the Board
should comprise of independent directors. However where the non-executive Chairman is a promoter
of the company or is related to any promoter or person occupying management positions at the Board
level or at one level below the Board, at least one-half of the Board of the company shall consist of
independent directors.

We have entered into Listing Agreements with the Stock Exchanges for the continuous listing of our Equity
Shares. Each of these agreements and/ or the Takeover Code requires that:

• we adhere to certain corporate governance requirements including ensuring the minimum number
of independent directors on the board, and composition of various committees such as audit
committees and remuneration committees;
• we adhere to continuing disclosure requirements and must publish unaudited financial statements
on a quarterly basis and immediately inform the stock exchanges of any unpublished price
sensitive information;
• we maintain a minimum level of shares held by the public as required under these agreements;
• if any person acquires more than five per cent of our Equity Shares or voting rights we and the
acquirer shall comply with the provisions of the Takeover Code;
• no person shall acquire, or agree to acquire, 15.00% or more of our Equity Shares or voting rights,
unless the provisions of the Takeover Code are complied with; and
• if any takeover offer is made or if there is any change in management control, then we and the
persons securing management control of us need to comply with the Takeover Code.

Any non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the Listing Agreements with the Stock Exchanges
may entail the delisting of our Equity Shares from such stock exchanges, which will affect future trading of
those Equity Shares.

Minimum Level of Public Shareholding

In order to ensure availability of floating stock of listed companies, SEBI has recently notified amendments
to the listing agreement. All listed companies are required to ensure that their minimum level of public
shareholding remains at or above 25%. This requirement does not apply to those companies who at the time
of their initial listing had offered at least 10% of the issue size to the public pursuant to Rule 19(2)(b) of the
SCRR, nor to companies that have reached a size of 20,000,000 or more in terms of the number of listed
shares and Rs. 10,000 million or more in terms of market capitalisation. However such listed companies are
required to maintain the minimum level of public shareholding at 10% of the total number of issued
ordinary shares of a class or kind for the purposes of listing. Failure to comply with this Clause in the
Listing Agreement requires the listed company to delist its shares pursuant to the terms of the SEBI
Delisting Regulations and may result in penal action being taken against the listed company pursuant to the
Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992.

93
Delisting

The provisions of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Delisting of Equity Shares) Regulations,
2009, as amended (“Delisting Regulations”) and the SCRR govern voluntary and compulsory delisting of
equity shares of listed Indian companies from any of the recognised stock exchanges. No company can
apply for permission to delist: (i) pursuant to a buy back of equity shares or preferential allotment made by
a company or (ii) unless a period of three years has elapsed since the listing of that class of equity shares on
any recognized stock exchange. Furthermore, if any instruments issued by the company which are
convertible into the same class of equity shares that are sought to be delisted are outstanding, delisting is
disallowed. A company may voluntarily delist from a stock exchange provided that (a) the securities of the
company have been listed for a minimum period of three years on any recognised stock exchange, (b) the
delisting has been approved by two-thirds of the public shareholders, and (c) the company, the promoter
and/or the director of the company provide an exit opportunity and purchase the outstanding securities from
those holders who wish to sell them at a price determined in accordance with the Delisting Regulations,
provided further that the condition in (c) above may be dispensed with by SEBI if the securities remain
listed on the NSE or the BSE.

In the event a company seeks to voluntarily delist from a stock exchange, it is required to provide an exit
opportunity to the other shareholders (“Delisting Offer”) and seek the in-principle approval of the stock
exchange. This exit opportunity involves a price discovery process known as the “book building process”.
A Delisting Offer can be launched by any promoter seeking to delist the securities of the company. The
Delisting Offer needs to be supported by a resolution approved by the board of directors and a resolution
approved by three-fourths of the shareholders of the listed company through a postal ballot. In addition, the
special resolution of the shareholders can be acted upon if, and only if, the votes cast by public
shareholders in favour of the proposal amount are at least two times the number of votes cast by public
shareholders against it (non-promoters and holders of depository receipts are considered non-public
shareholders). Following the approval of the shareholders, the promoter would issue a public
announcement (i.e. a public notice) in relation to the Delisting Offer. The offer price shall have a floor price
which shall be determined in the manner provided in the Delisting Regulations. The floor price for delisting
must, therefore be determined by calculating the average of the weekly high and low of the closing prices
during the last 26 weeks or two weeks preceding the date on which the recognized stock exchange were
notified. The offer must fulfill the criteria prescribed in the Delisting Regulations to be successful. Upon
closure of open offer process, all shareholders whose equity shares are verified will be paid the final price
stated in the public announcement within 10 working days.

The Delisting Regulations and the SCRR also provide the stock exchanges the power to delist the securities
of companies on certain grounds, including if a company is incurring losses during the preceding three
consecutive years and has negative net worth; the trading in the securities of the company has remained
suspended for a minimum period of six months; the securities of a company have remained infrequently
traded during the preceding three years; the company or any of its promoters or directors have been
convicted for failure to comply with any provisions of the SEBI Act or the Depositories Act or rules and
regulations made thereunder and awarded a penalty of not less than three years; or there has been failure to
raise the public shareholdings within a specified time to the minimum level applicable to the company
under its listing agreement. Any order for compulsory delisting can be made only after considering
representations received from aggrieved persons. Delisting Regulations also provide that in the event that
the securities of a company are delisted by a stock exchange, the fair value of securities shall be determined
by an independent valuer appointed by the stock exchange from a panel of experts selected by the stock
exchange. The Delisting Regulations do not permit the listing of equity shares once delisted for a period of
5 years (in a voluntary delisting) and 10 years (if the stock exchanges initiate the delisting).

The Ministry of Finance has, on June 10, 2009, proposed certain amendments to the Securities Contracts
(Regulation) Rules, 1957 and notified delisting rules under Rule 21 of the Securities Contract (Regulation)
Rules, 1957 on June 15, 2009 (“MoF Notification”) in relation to voluntary and compulsory delisting, to
bring them in line with the Delisting Regulations.Due to their recent issuance, the applicability of the
Delisting Regulations and MoF Notification have not been tested in any manner and hence it is possible

94
that some of the clauses may be amended to make either the Delisting Regulations or the MoF Notification
more effective or clarify any ambiguities contained therein. Investors are requested to consult their advisors
before taking any steps under the Delisting Guidelines.

Disclosures under the Companies Act and Securities Regulations

Under the Companies Act, a public issue of securities in India must be made by means of a prospectus,
which must contain information specified in the Companies Act and the SEBI Regulations, as amended.
The prospectus must be filed with the Registrar of Companies having jurisdiction over the place where a
company’s registered office is situated, which in the case of the Company is the Registrar of Companies
located at Mumbai, Maharashtra. A company’s directors are subject to civil and criminal liability for
misstatements/misrepresentations in a prospectus. The Companies Act also sets forth procedures for the
acceptance of subscriptions and the allotment of securities among subscribers and establishes maximum
commission rates for the sale of securities. SEBI has issued detailed guidelines through the SEBI
Regulations concerning disclosures by public companies and investor protection.

Public limited companies are required under the Companies Act and SEBI Regulations to prepare, file with
the Registrar of Companies and circulate to their shareholders audited annual accounts which comply with
the Companies Act’s disclosure requirements and regulations governing their manner of presentation and
which include sections pertaining to corporate governance, related party transactions and the management’s
discussion and analysis as required under the respective listing agreement. In addition, a listed company is
subject to continuing disclosure requirements pursuant to the terms of its listing agreement with the
relevant stock exchange. Accordingly, listed companies are now required to publish unaudited financial
statements (subject to a limited review by the Company’s auditors) on a quarterly basis and are required to
inform stock exchanges immediately regarding any stock price-sensitive information.

Indian Stock Exchanges

There are now currently 19 recognised stock exchanges in India. Most of the stock exchanges have their
own governing board for self-regulation. A number of these exchanges have been directed by SEBI to file
schemes for demutualisation as a measure of moving towards greater investor protection.

The BSE and the NSE together hold a dominant position among the stock exchanges in terms of the
number of listed companies, market capitalisation and trading activity.

In order to contain the risk arising out of the transactions entered into by the members of various stock
exchanges either on their own account or on behalf of their clients, the stock exchanges have designed risk
management procedures, which include compulsory prescribed margins on the individual broker members,
based on their outstanding exposure in the market, as well as stock-specific margins from the members.

With effect from April 1, 2003, the stock exchanges in India operate on a trading day plus two, or T+2,
rolling settlement system. At the end of the T+2 period, obligations are settled with buyers of securities
paying for and receiving securities, while sellers transfer and receive payment for securities. For example,
trades executed on a Monday would typically be settled on a Wednesday. In order to contain the risk
arising out of the transactions entered into by the members of various stock exchanges either on their own
account or on behalf of their clients, the stock exchanges have designed risk management procedures,
which include compulsory prescribed margins on the individual broker members, based on their
outstanding exposure in the market, as well as stock-specific margins from the members.

To restrict abnormal price volatility, SEBI has instructed stock exchanges to apply the fol1owing price
bands calculated at the previous day’s closing price (there are no restrictions on price movements of index
stocks):

Market Wide Circuit Breakers. In order to restrict abnormal price volatility in any particular stock, SEBI
has instructed the stock exchanges to apply daily circuit breakers, which do not allow transactions beyond

95
certain price volatility. An index based market-wide (equity and equity derivatives) circuit breaker system
has been implemented and the circuit breakers are applied to the market for movement by 10%, 15% and
20% for two prescribed market indices: the BSE Sensex for the BSE and the Nifty for the NSE (“NSE
Nifty”), whichever is breached earlier. If any of these circuit breaker thresholds are reached, trading in al1
equity and equity derivatives markets nationwide is halted.

Price Bands. In addition to the market-wide index based circuit breakers, there are currently in place
varying individual scrip wise bands (except for scrips on which derivative products are available or scrips
included in indices on which derivative products are available) of 20% either ways for all other scrips.

BSE

The BSE, established in 1875, is the oldest stock exchange in India. It is the first stock exchange in India to
have obtained permanent recognition in 1956 from the Government of India under the SCRA. It has
evolved over the years into its present status as a premier stock exchange of India. Pursuant to the BSE
(Corporatisation and Demutualization) Scheme 2005 of SEBI, with effect from August 20, 2005, the BSE
has been corporatised and demutualised and is now a company under the Companies Act.

The BSE switched over from an open outcry trading system to an online trading network in May 1995 and
has today expanded this network to over 349 cities in India. Only a member of the BSE has the right to
trade in the stocks listed on the BSE.

Derivatives trading commenced on the BSE in 2000. The BSE also has wholesale and retail debt trading
segments. The retail trading in Government securities commenced in June 2003.

As of October, 2009, the BSE had 1,004 members, comprising 173 individual members, 808 Indian
companies and 23 FIIs. Only a member of the BSE has the right to trade in the stocks listed on the BSE. As
of September 2009, there were 4,946 companies trading on the BSE. As of October 2009, the total number
of scrips traded are 2844 and the estimated market capitalisation of stocks trading on the BSE was Rs.
53,745.59 billion. In October 2009, the average daily turnover on the BSE was Rs. 57.00 billion. (Source:
BSE)

NSE

The NSE was established by financial institutions and banks to provide nationwide on-line satellite-linked,
screen-based trading facilities for market makers with an electronic order based trading system, and
electronic clearing and settlement for securities including government securities, debentures, public sector
notes and units.The principal aim of the NSE is to enable investors to buy or sell securities from anywhere
in India, serving as a national market for securities Deliveries for trades executed “on-market” are
exchanged through the National Securities Clearing Corporation Limited. The NSE does not categorise
shares into groups as in the case of the BSE, except in respect of the trade-to-trade category.

On its recognition as a stock exchange under the SCRA in April 1993, the NSE commenced operations in
the wholesale debt market segment in June 1994. The capital market (equities) segment commenced
operations in November 1994 and operations in the derivatives segment commenced in June 2000. It has
evolved over the years into its present status as a premier stock exchange of India. The NSE launched the
NSE 50 Index, now known as S&P CNX NIFTY, on April 22, 1996 and the Mid-cap Index on January 1,
1996. The securities in the NSE 50 Index are highly liquid. NSE has a wide network in major metropolitan
cities for screen-based trading, has a central monitoring system and provides greater transparency.

As of October, 2009, there were 1,291 companies available for trading on the NSE and the estimated
market capitalisation of stocks trading on the NSE was Rs. 50,248.30 billion. The average daily turnover on
the NSE as of October, 2009 was Rs. 181.48 billion. As of October, 2009, the NSE had 1,257 trading
members and over 108 registered sub-brokers on the capital market segment and the wholesale debt market
segment. (Source: NSE)

DSE

Delhi Stock Exchange Limited was incorporated as a limited company under the Indian Companies Act,
1913 on 25th June, 1947. The main function of the company is to run a Stock Exchange in Delhi and to
acquire and take over as a going concern the activities, functions and business of the then existing two
stock exchanges, i.e., The Delhi Stock & Share Exchange Ltd and the Delhi Stock & Share Brokers
Association Ltd. It also took over all the assets and liabilities, rights and duties of the two aforementioned
companies.

The Securities contracts (Regulation) Act was made applicable to the Union territory of Delhi with effect
from 9th December 1957 and simultaneous recognition was granted to the Delhi Stock Exchange under
Section 4 of the securities Contracts (Regulation) Act. The Central Government vide its Notification dated
the 1st March 1982 granted permanent recognition to the exchange.

Delhi Stock Exchange Limited has made steady progress in its activities and has emerged as one of the
leading and major stock exchanges in the country. This has been achieved on account of continuous
upgradation of processes and technology, innovative approach, responsive management and integrity and
transparency of operations.

Trading Hours

Trading on both the BSE and the NSE normally occurs Monday through Friday, between 9:55 a.m. and
3:30 p.m. The BSE and the NSE are closed on public holidays.

Stock Market Indices

S&P CNX Nifty is a diversified 50 stock index accounting for 21 sectors of the economy. It is used for a
variety of purposes such as benchmarking fund portfolios, index based derivatives and index funds. S&P
CNX Nifty is owned and managed by India Index Services and Products Limited (IISL), which is a joint
venture between the NSE and CRISIL.

The two indices which are generally used in tracking the aggregate price movements on the BSE are
SENSEX and BSE 100 Index. The BSE Sensitive Index, or the Sensex, consists of listed shares of 30 large
market capitalisation companies. The companies are selected on the basis of market capitalisation, liquidity
and industry representation. Sensex was first compiled in 1986 with the fiscal year ended March 31, 1979.
The BSE 100 Index (formerly the BSE National Index) contains listed shares of 100 companies including the
30 in Sensex with 1983-1984 as the base year.

Trading Procedure

In order to facilitate smooth transactions, in 1995, BSE replaced its open outcry system with BSE On-line
Trading (“BOLT”) facility in 1995. This totally automated screen based trading in securities was put into
practice nation-wide. This has enhanced transparency in dealings and has assisted considerably in
smoothening settlement cycles and improving efficiency in back-office work.

Internet-Based Securities Trading and Services

SEBI approved internet trading in January 2000. Internet trading takes place through order routing systems,
which route client orders to exchange trading systems for execution. This permits clients to trade using
brokers’ Internet trading systems. Stock brokers interested in providing this service are required to apply
for permission to the relevant stock exchange and also have to comply with certain minimum conditions
stipulated by SEBI.
Takeover Code

Disclosure and mandatory bid obligations for listed Indian companies under Indian law are governed by the
Takeover Code, which prescribes certain thresholds or trigger points that give rise to these obligations, as

97
applicable. The Takeover Code is under constant review by SEBI and was last amended in November 6,
2009. Once the Equity Shares are listed, the provisions of the Takeover Code will apply to any acquisition
of the Company’s shares/ voting rights/ control.

The principal features of the Takeover Code are set forth below:

ƒ Any acquirer (meaning a person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire equity shares
or voting rights in a company, either by himself or with any person acting in concert) who acquires
equity shares or voting rights that would entitle him to more than 5%, 10%, 14%, 54% or 74% of the
equity shares or voting rights in a company (together with the company’s equity shares or voting rights,
if any, already held by such acquirer) is required to disclose the aggregate of his equity shareholding or
voting rights in that company to the company (which in turn is required to disclose such shareholding
to each of the stock exchanges on which the company’s equity shares are listed) and to each of the
stock exchanges on which the company’s equity shares are listed within two days of (a) the receipt of
allotment information; or (b) the acquisition of equity shares or voting rights, as the case may be. The
term “shares” has been defined under the Takeover Code to shares in the share capital of a company
carrying voting rights and includes any other security which entitles a person to acquire shares with
voting rights but does not include preference shares.

ƒ A person who, together with persons acting in concert with him, holds 15% or more but less than 55%
of the equity shares or voting rights in any company, or who holds 55% or more but less than 75% of
the equity shares or voting rights in any company and acquires shares or voting rights under the second
proviso to Regulation 11(2) of the Takeover Code, is required to disclose any purchase or sale
representing 2% or more of the equity shares or voting rights of that company (together with the
aggregate shareholding after such acquisition or sale) to that company and the stock exchanges on
which the company’s equity shares are listed within two days of the purchase or sale and is also
required to make annual disclosure of his holdings to that company (which in turn is required to
disclose such shareholding to each of the stock exchanges on which the company’s equity shares are
listed).

ƒ Promoters or persons in control of a company are also required to make annual disclosure of their
holding in a specified manner. The company is also required to make annual disclosure of holdings of
its promoters or persons in control as on March 31 of the respective year to each of the stock exchanges
on which its equity shares are listed. SEBI has recently amended the Takeover Code to make it
mandatory for the promoters and promoter group of listed companies to disclose the creation and
enforcement of a pledge on the equity shares held by such persons.

ƒ An acquirer cannot acquire equity shares or voting rights which (taken together with the existing equity
shares or voting rights, if any, held by him or by persons acting in concert with him) would entitle such
acquirer to exercise 15% or more of the voting rights in a company, unless such acquirer makes a
public announcement offering to acquire a further minimum of 20% of the equity shares of the
company at a price not lower than the price determined in accordance with the Takeover Code. Such
offer has to be made to all public shareholders of the company (defined as holders of shareholdings
held by persons other than the promoter (as defined under the Takeover Code)). A copy of the public
announcement is required to be delivered, on the date on which such announcement is published, to
SEBI, the company and the stock exchanges on which the company’s equity shares are listed.

ƒ No acquirer who, together with persons acting in concert with him, has acquired, in accordance with
law, 15% or more but less than 55% of the shares or voting rights in a company, shall acquire, either by
himself or through or with persons acting in concert with him, additional shares or voting rights that
would entitle him to exercise more than 5% of the voting rights with post acquisition shareholding or
voting rights not exceeding 55% in any financial year ending March 31, unless such acquirer makes a
public announcement offering to acquire a further minimum of 20% of the equity shares of the target
company at a price not lower than the price determined in accordance with the Takeover Code.

ƒ An acquirer who, together with persons acting in concert with him, has acquired, in accordance with

98
 law, 55% or more but less than 75% of the equity shares or voting rights in a company (or, where the
company concerned had obtained the initial listing of its shares by making an offer of at least 10% of
the issue size to the public pursuant to Rule 1 9(2)(b) of the SCRR, less than 90% of the shares or
voting rights in the company) may not, either by itself or through persons acting in concert with it,
acquire any additional equity shares or voting rights in the company, unless such acquirer makes an
open offer to acquire a minimum of 20% of the shares or voting rights which it does not already own in
the company, provided that an acquirer together with persons acting in concert may acquire additional
shares or voting rights entitling him to up to 5% voting rights in a company without making a public
announcement if (i) the acquisition is made through open market purchase on the stock exchanges or
the increase in the shares or voting rights is pursuant to a buy-back of shares by the target company and
(ii) the post acquisition shareholding of the acquirer and persons acting in concert does not exceed
75%.

ƒ Where an acquirer who (together with persons acting in concert) holds 55% or more, but less than 75%
of the shares or voting rights in a target company (or, where the concerned company had obtained the
initial listing of its shares by making an offer of at least 10% of the issue size to the public pursuant to
Rule 19(2)(b) of the SCRR, less than 90% of the shares or voting rights in the company), intends to
consolidate its holdings while ensuring that the public shareholding in the target company does not fall
below the minimum level permitted by the listing agreement with the stock exchanges, the acquirer
may do so by making an open offer in accordance with the Takeover Code. Such open offer would be
required to be made for the lesser of (i) 20% of the voting capital of the company, or (ii) such other
lesser percentage of the voting capital of the company as would, assuming full subscription to the open
offer, enable the acquirer (together with persons acting in concert), to increase the holding to the
maximum level possible, which is consistent with the target company meeting the requirements of
minimum public shareholding specified in the listing agreement with the stock exchanges.

ƒ In addition, regardless of whether there has been any acquisition of equity shares or voting rights in a
company, an acquirer cannot directly or indirectly acquire control over a company (for example, by
way of acquiring the right to appoint a majority of the directors or to control the management or the
policy decisions of the company) unless such acquirer makes a public announcement offering to
acquire a minimum of 20% of the voting equity shares of the company. In addition, the Takeover Code
introduces the “chain principle” by which the acquisition of a holding company will obligate the
acquirer to make a public offer to the shareholders of each subsidiary company which is listed.

ƒ Further, if an acquisition made pursuant to an open offer results in the public shareholding in the target
company being reduced below the minimum level required under the listing agreement with the stock
exchanges, the acquirer would be required to take steps to facilitate compliance by the target company
with the relevant provisions of the listing agreement with the stock exchanges, within the time period
prescribed therein.

ƒ The Takeover Code sets out the contents of the required public announcements as well as the minimum
offer price. The minimum offer price depends on whether the shares of the company are “frequently”
or “infrequently” traded (as defined in the Takeover Code). In case the shares of the company are
frequently traded, the offer price shall be the higher of:

• the negotiated price under the agreement for the acquisition of shares in the company;
• the highest price paid by the acquirer or persons acting in concert with him for any acquisitions,
including through an allotment in a public, preferential or rights issue, during the 26-week period
prior to the date of public announcement; and
• the average of the weekly high and low of the closing prices of the shares of the company quoted
on the stock exchange where the shares of the company are most frequently traded during the 26-
week period prior to the date of public announcement, or the average of the daily high and low of
the prices of the shares as quoted on the stock exchange where the shares of the company are most
frequently traded during the two weeks preceding the date of public announcement, whichever is
higher.

99
ƒ The Takeover Code permits conditional offers as well as an acquisition and consequent delisting of the
shares of a company and provides specific guidelines for the gradual acquisition of shares or voting
rights. Specific obligations of the acquirer and the board of directors of the target company in the offer
process have also been specified. Acquirers making a public offer are also required to deposit in an
escrow account a percentage of the total consideration which amount will be forfeited in the event that
the acquirer does not fulfil his obligations.

ƒ The general requirements to make such a public announcement do not, however, apply entirely to
bailout takeovers when a promoter (i.e. a person or persons in control of the company, persons named
in any offer document as promoters and certain specified corporate bodies and individuals) is taking
over a financially weak company but not a “sick industrial company” pursuant to a rehabilitation
scheme approved by a public financial institution or a scheduled bank. A “financially weak company”
is a company which has at the end of the previous financial year accumulated losses which have
resulted in the erosion of more than 50% but less than 100% of the total sum of its paid up capital and
free reserves as at the beginning of the previous financial year. A “sick industrial company” is a
company registered for more than five years which has at the end of any financial year accumulated
losses equal to or exceeding its entire net worth.

ƒ The Takeover Code, subject to certain conditions specified in the Takeover Code, exempts certain
specified acquisitions from the requirement of making a public offer, including, among others, the
acquisition of shares (1) by allotment in a public issue or a rights issue, (2) pursuant to an underwriting
agreement, (3) by registered stockbrokers in the ordinary course of business on behalf of clients, (4) in
unlisted companies, (5) pursuant to a scheme of reconstruction or amalgamation, (6) pursuant to a
scheme under Section 18 of the SICA, (7) resulting from transfers between companies belonging to the
same group of companies or between promoters of a publicly listed company and relatives, (8) by way
of transmission through inheritance or succession, (9) resulting from transfers by Indian venture capital
funds or foreign venture capital investors registered with SEBI, to promoters of a venture capital
undertaking or venture capital undertaking pursuant to an agreement between such venture capital
funds or foreign venture capital investors with such promoters or venture capital undertaking, (10) by
the Government of India controlled companies, unless such acquisition is made pursuant to a
disinvestment process undertaken by the Government of India or a State Government, (11) change in
control by takeover/restoration of the management of the borrower company by the secured creditor in
terms of the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest
Act, 2002, (12) acquisition of shares by a person in exchange of equity shares received under a public
offer made under the Takeover Code and (13) in terms of guidelines and regulations relating to
delisting of securities as specified by SEBI. The Takeover Code does not apply to acquisitions in the
ordinary course of business by public financial institutions either on their own account or as a pledgee.
An application may also be filed with the takeover panel seeking exemption from the open offer
requirements of the Takeover Code. Pursuant to a recent amendment, a listed company can apply to
SEBI to waive requirements under the Takeover Code in relation to an acquisition of a listed company
in circumstances where the board of the listed company has been taken over by the Government of
India and there is a plan for a transparent and competitive process for the operations of the listed
company.

ƒ Recent amendments to the Takeover Code provide that where American depository receipts and global
depositary receipts holders are entitled to exercise voting rights on the shares underlying such
American depository receipts and global depositary receipts, open offer obligations as aforesaid shall
be triggered upon crossing the same threshold limits.

ƒ SEBI is further empowered to relax, upon application by a target company, the provisions of Chapter
III of the regulations, which pertain to the disclosure and the open offer requirements, in the event the
directors of such company have been removed and replaced by the regulatory authorities for the orderly
conduct of the affairs of the company and the replaced board has, amongst others, devised a plan for a
transparent, open and competitive process for the continued operation of the company in the interests of
all stakeholders of the company without furthering the interests of any particular acquirer. In the event
the SEBI has granted such relaxation, no competitive bidding is allowed after a bid has been publicly

100
 announced by an acquirer.

ƒ Recent amendments to the Takeover Code also obligate every promoter and person forming part of the
promoter group of a listed company to disclose to the company details of pledge of shares of that
company held by such person and the revocation of pledge within seven working days from the date of
creation of the pledge or the revocation, as the case maybe. A listed company is further required to
disclose such information to all the stock exchanges on which its shares are listed within seven working
days of its receipt thereof if, during any quarter ending March, June, September and December of any
year, the aggregate number of pledged shares of a promoter or every person forming part of the
promoter group (taken together with shares already pledged during that quarter by such promoter or
persons) exceeds 25,000 or 1 percent of the total shareholding or voting rights of the company,
whichever is lower.

Insider Trading Regulations

The SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 1992 (“Insider Trading Regulations”) have been
notified by SEBI to prevent insider trading in India by prohibiting and penalising insider trading in India.
The Insider Trader Regulations prohibit an “insider” from dealing, either on his own behalf or on behalf of
any other person, in the securities of a company listed on any stock exchange when in possession of
unpublished price sensitive information. The terms “unpublished” and “price-sensitive information” are
defined in the Insider Trading Regulations. The Insider Trading Regulations define an “insider” to mean
any person who (i) is or was connected with the company or is deemed to have been connected with the
company and who is reasonably expected to have access to unpublished price sensitive information in
respect of securities of a company or (ii) has received or has had access to such unpublished price sensitive
information.

The insider is prohibited from communicating, counseling or procuring, directly or indirectly, any
unpublished price sensitive information to any other person while in possession of such information. The
prohibition under Regulation 3A of the Insider Trading Regulations also extends to a company dealing,
while in the possession of unpublished price sensitive information, in securities of another company or its
associate listed on any stock exchange and is not restricted to insiders alone. It is to be noted that recently
SEBI has amended the Insider Trading Regulations to provide certain defenses to the prohibition on
companies in possession of unpublished price sensitive information dealing in securities.

Unpublished means information which is not published by the Company or its agents and is not specific in
nature. The Insider Trading Regulations clarify that speculative reports in print or electronic media shall
not be considered as published information. Price sensitive information means any information which
relates directly or indirectly to a company and which if published is likely to materially affect the price of
securities of the company, such as the periodical financial results of the company, intended declaration of
dividends (both interim and final), issue of securities or buy-back of securities. Under the Insider Trading
Regulations, no insider shall communicate or counsel or procure, directly or indirectly, any unpublished
price-sensitive information to any other person who while in possession of such unpublished price-sensitive
information shall not deal in securities.

The Insider Trading Regulations make it compulsory for listed companies and certain other entities
associated with the securities market to establish an internal code of conduct to prevent insider trading
deals and also to regulate disclosure of unpublished price sensitive information within such entities so as to
minimise misuse thereof. To this end, the Insider Trading Regulations provide a model code of conduct.
Further, the Insider Trading Regulations specify a model code of corporate disclosure practices to prevent
insider trading, which is to be implemented by all listed companies and other such entities. The model code
of conduct has also been amended to prohibit all directors/ officers/ designated employees who buy or sell
any number of shares of the company from entering into opposite transactions during the next six months
following the prior transaction. All directors and designated employees have also been prohibited from
taking positions in derivative transactions in shares of the company at any time. Further, certain provisions
pertaining to, inter alia, reporting requirements have also been extended to dependants of directors and
designated employees of the company.

101
The Insider Trading Regulations require any person who holds more than 5% of the outstanding shares or
voting rights in any listed company to disclose to the company the number of shares or voting rights held
by such person on becoming such holder within two working days of:

(i) the receipt of intimation of allotment of shares; or

(ii) the acquisition of the shares or voting rights, as the case may be.

On a continuing basis, under the Insider Trading Regulations, any person who holds more than 5% of the
shares or of the voting rights in any listed company is required to disclose to the company the number of
shares or voting rights held by him and any change in shareholding or voting rights (even if such change
results in the shareholding falling below 5%) if there has been change in such holdings from the last
disclosure made, provided such change exceeds 2% of the total shareholding or voting rights in the
company. Such disclosure is required to be made within two working days of:

(i) the receipt of intimation of allotment of the shares; or

(ii) the acquisition or the sale of the shares or voting rights.

Further, all directors and officers of a listed company are required to disclose to the company the number of
shares or voting rights held and positions taken derivatives by such person in such company within two
working days of becoming a director or officer of such company. All directors and officers of a listed
company are also required to make periodic disclosures of their shareholding in the company as specified
in the Insider Trading Regulations.

Depositories

In August 1996, the Indian Parliament enacted the Depositories Act, 1996 which provides a legal
framework for the establishment of depositaries to record ownership details and effect transfers in
electronic book-entry form. SEBI framed the SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Rules and Regulations,
1996 which provide for the formation of such depositaries and the registration of participants as well as the
formation of the rights and obligations of the depositaries, participants, beneficial owners and issuers. The
depositary system has significantly improved the operation of the Indian securities markets.

The Depositories Act requires that every person subscribing to securities offered by an issuer has the option
either to receive the security certificate or hold the securities with a depository. The National Securities
Depository Limited and the Central Depository Services Limited are two depositories that provide
electronic depository facilities for the trading of equity and debt securities in India.

Trading of securities in book-entry form commenced in December 1996. In order to encourage

“dematerialisation” of securities, SEBI has set up a working group on dematerialisation of securities
comprising foreign institutional investors, custodians, stock exchanges, mutual funds and the National
Securities Depository Limited to review the progress of securities and trading in dematerialised form and to
recommend scrips for compulsory, dematerialised trading in a phased manner. In January 1998, SEBI
notified of various companies for compulsory dematerialised trading by certain categories of investors such
as foreign institutional investors (“FIIs”) and other institutional investors and also notified compulsory
dematerialised trading in specified scrips for all retail investors. Subsequently, SEBI has significantly
increased the number of scrips in which dematerialised trading is compulsory for all investors. Under the
Depositories Act and guidelines issued by SEBI, the Company shall give the option to
subscribers/shareholders to receive the security certificates and hold securities in dematerialised form with
a depositary.

However, even in the case of scrips notified for compulsory dematerialised trading, investors, other than
institutional investors, are permitted to trade in physical shares on transactions outside the stock exchange
where there are no requirements of reporting such transactions to the stock exchange and on transactions on

102
the stock exchange involving lots of less than 500 securities.

Transfers of shares in book-entry form require both the seller and the purchaser of the equity shares to
establish accounts with depositary participants registered with the depositaries established under the
Depositories Act, 1996. Charges for opening an account with a depository participant, transaction charges
for each trade and custodian charges for securities held in each account vary depending upon the practice of
each depository participant and have to be borne by the accountholder. Upon delivery, the shares shall be
registered in the name of the relevant depositary on the company’s books and this depositary shall enter the
name of the investor in its records as the beneficial owner, thus effecting the transfer of beneficial
ownership. The beneficial owner shall be entitled to all rights and benefits and be subject to all liabilities in
respect of his/her securities held by a depositary. Every person holding equity share capital of the company
and whose name is entered as a beneficial owner in the records of the depository is deemed to be a member
of the concerned company. The Companies Act requires that Indian companies making any initial public
issue of securities for or in excess of Rs.100 million should issue such securities in dematerialised form.

Derivatives

Trading in derivatives is governed by the SCRA, the SCRR and the SEBI Act. The SCRA was amended in
February 2000 and derivative contracts were included within the term “securities,” as defined by the
SCRA. Trading in derivatives in India takes place either on separate and independent derivatives exchanges
or on a separate segment of an existing stock exchange. The derivative exchange or derivative segment of a
stock exchange functions as a self regulatory organisation under the supervision of SEBI. Derivatives
products have been introduced in a phased manner in India starting with future contracts in June 2000 and
index options, stock options and stock futures in June 2000, July 2001 and November 2001, respectively.

Equity Share Capital History

Articles of Association

Our Company is governed by our Articles of Association.

Dividends

Under the Companies Act, an Indian company pays dividend upon a recommendation by its board of
directors and subject to approval by a majority of the members, who have the right to decrease but not to
increase the amount of the dividend recommended by our board of directors. However, the board of
directors is not obligated to recommend a dividend. The decision of the Board of Directors and
shareholders of our Company may depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to our
Company’s profits, capital requirements and overall financial condition. According to the Articles of
Association of our Company, no Dividend shall be declared or paid by our Company for any financial year
except out of the profits of our Company for that year arrived at after providing for depreciation in
accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act or out of the profits of our Company for any previous
financial year or years arrived at after providing for depreciation in accordance with those provisions and
remaining undistributed or out of both or out of money provided by the Central Government or State
Government for the payment of dividend in pursuance of a Guarantee given by the Government and except
after the transfer to the reserves of our Company of such percentage out of the profits for that year not
exceeding ten percent as may be prescribed or voluntarily such higher percentage in accordance with the
rules as may be made by the Central Government in that behalf. However, whether owing to inadequacy or
absence of profits in any year, if our Company proposes to declare out of the accumulated profits by our
Company in previous years and transferred by it to the reserve, such declaration of dividend shall not be
made except in accordance with such rules as may be made by the Central Government in this behalf, and
whether any such declaration is not accordance with such rules, such declaration shall not be made except
with the previous approval of the Central Government. Under the equity listing agreement listed companies
are mandated to declare dividend on per share basis only. The directors may without the sanction of a
general meeting pay interim dividend to one or more classes of shares to the exclusion of others, at rates

104
which may be differing from class to class, if in their opinion the position of our Company justifies the
same. While declaring such a dividend the directors should satisfy themselves that the preference shares,
which have a prior claim in respect of payment of dividend, should have their entire rated dividend at the
time of final preparation of accounts for that period. Under the Companies Act, dividends can only be paid
in cash to shareholders listed on the register of shareholders or those persons whose names are entered as
beneficial owners in the record of the depository on the date specified as the “record date” or “book closure
date.”

No unpaid or unclaimed dividend shall be forfeited unless the claim thereto becomes barred by law. Our
Company shall comply with the provisions of sections 205A of the Companies Act in respect of unpaid or
unclaimed dividend. Where our Company had declared a dividend which has not been paid or claimed by
the shareholders entitled to the payment of such dividend, our Company shall within seven days from the
expiry of 30 days from declaration of such dividend open a special account in any scheduled bank called
“Unpaid Dividend of Bajaj Electricals Limited” and transfer to the same the amount that remains unpaid.
Any dividend payments unclaimed by the shareholders for over seven years from the date of disbursement
is required to be deposited by our Company with the Investor Education and Protection Fund constituted by
the Central Government, from where the amounts deposited can neither be claimed by the shareholders nor
by our Company. At our Annual General Meeting on March 31, 2009, our shareholders approved a
dividend of 100 per cent. in relation to our Shares which was paid on August 4, 2009 to all eligible
shareholders.

Under the Companies Act, dividends may be paid out of profits of a company in the year in which the
dividend is declared or out of the undistributed profits or reserves of the previous fiscal years or out of both
in compliance with the provisions of Companies (Declaration of Dividend out of Reserves) Rules, 1975.
Under the Companies Act, a company may pay a dividend in excess of 10 percent of paid-up capital in
respect of any year out of the profits of that year only after it has transferred to the reserves of the company
a percentage of its profits for that year, ranging between 2.5 percent to 10 percent depending on the rate of
dividend proposed to be declared in that year. The Companies Act further provides that if the profit for a
year is insufficient, the dividend for that year may be declared out of the accumulated profits earned in
previous years and transferred to reserves, subject to the following conditions: (i) the rate of dividend to be
declared may not exceed the lesser of the average of the rates at which dividends were declared in the five
years immediately preceding the year, or 10 percent of paid-up capital; (ii) the total amount to be drawn
from the accumulated profits from previous years may not exceed an amount equivalent to 10 percent of
paid-up capital and reserves and the amount so drawn is first to be used to set off the losses incurred in the
financial year before any dividends in respect of preference shares or shares; and (iii) the balance of
reserves after withdrawals must not be below 15 percent of paid-up capital.

Capitalisation of Profits

Our Company may capitalise the whole or part of the amount for the time being standing in credit of any of
our Company’s reserve account or to the profit or loss account or available for distribution, upon
recommendation of our Board of Directors. The Articles of Association of our Company provide that any
general meeting may resolve that any amount standing to the credit of the share premium account or the
capital redemption reserve account or any moneys, investment or other assets forming part of the undivided
profits (including profits or surplus moneys arising from the realization and where permitted by law, form
the appreciation in value of any capital assets of our Company) standing to the credit of the general reserve,
reserve or any reserve fund or any other fund of our Company or in the hands of our Company and
available for dividend may be capitalised. Any such amount (excepting the amount standing to the credit of
the share premium account and/or the capital redemption reserve account) may be capitalised (i) by the
issue and distribution as fully paid shares, debentures, debenture-stock, bonds or obligation of our
Company, or (ii) by crediting the shares of our Company to the credit of the share premium account may be
applied in, (1) paying up unissued shares of our Company to be issued to members of our Company as fully
paid bonus shares, (2) in writing off the preliminary expenses of our Company, (3) in writing off the
expenses of, or the commission paid or discount allowed on any issue of shares or debentures of our
Company, or (4) in providing for the premium payable on the redemption of any redeemable preference
share or of any debentures of our Company provided further that any amount standing to the credit of the

105
capital redemption reserve account shall be applied only in paying up unissued shares of our Company to
be issued to the members of our Company as fully paid bonus shares. Further, subject to the provisions of
the Companies Act and our Company’s Articles of Association, in cases where some of the shares of our
Company are fully paid and others are partly paid only, such capitalisation may be effected by the
distribution of further shares in respect of the fully paid shares, and in respect of the partly paid shares the
sums so applied in the extinguishments or diminution of the liability on the partly paid shares shall be so
applied prorata in proportion to the amount then already paid or credited as paid on the existing fully paid
and partly paid shares respectively.

In addition to permitting dividends to be paid out of current or retained earnings, the Companies Act
permits the company to distribute an amount transferred from the general reserve or surplus in its profit and
loss account to its shareholders in the form of bonus shares, which are similar to a stock dividend. The
Companies Act also permits the issue of bonus shares from a share premium account. Bonus shares are
distributed to shareholders in the proportion of the number of shares owned by them as recommended by
the board of directors. The shareholders on a fixed record date are entitled to receive such bonus shares.
Any issue of bonus shares is subject to guidelines/regulations/circulars issued by SEBI.

Bonus Shares

Any general meeting of the Company on the recommendation of the board of directors may resolve that
any amounts standing to the credit of the share premium account, the capital redemption reserve account, or
any money investments or other assets forming part of the undivided profits, (including profits or surplus
money arising from the appreciation in value of any capital asset of the Company standing to the credit of
its general reserve or any other reserve, reserve fund or other fund of the Company or in the hand of the
Company and available for dividend to be capitalized:

(a) by the issue and distribution of shares of the Company as fully paid up and to the extent permitted
by the Companies Act, debentures, debenture-stock, bond or other obligations of the Company; or

(b) by crediting shares of the Company which may have been issued to and are not fully paid up, with
the whole or part of the sum remaining unpaid thereon.

Provided that any amounts standing to the credit of the share premium account or the capital redemption
reserve accounts shall be applied only in crediting payment of the capital or share of the Company to be
issued to members (as herein provided) as fully paid bonus shares.

Regulation 93 of the SEBI Regulations provides that no listed company shall, make a bonus issue of equity
shares if it has outstanding fully or partly convertible debt instruments at the time of making the bonus
issue, unless it has made reservation of equity shares of the same class in favour of the holders of such
outstanding convertible debt instruments in proportion to the convertible part thereof. Further, the equity
shares reserved for the holders of fully or partly convertible debt instruments shall be issued at the time of
conversion of such convertible debt instruments on the same terms or same proportion on which the bonus
shares were issued.

Pre-Emptive Rights and Alteration of Share Capital

Our Company in a general meeting may upon the recommendation of the board of directors resolve to
capitalise whole or any part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of our
Company’s reserve account, or to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for
distribution. The Companies Act and the Articles of our Company gives the shareholders the pre-emptive
right to subscribe for new shares in proportion to their respective existing shareholdings unless the
shareholders elect otherwise by a special resolution. The offer must include: (a) the right, exercisable by the
shareholders on record, to renounce the shares offered in favour of any person; and (b) the number of
shares offered and the period of the offer, which may not be less than 30 days from the date of offer. If the
offer is not accepted it is deemed to have been declined. Our Board of Directors is authorised to distribute

106
any new shares not purchased by the pre-emptive rights holders in the manner that it deems most beneficial
to the company.

The Articles of our Company provide that our Company from time to time, by ordinary resolution:

• consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount than its existing
shares;

• sub-divide its shares or any of them into shares of smaller amount than originally fixed by the
Memorandum subject nevertheless to the provisions of the Companies Act in that behalf and so
however that in the sub-division the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any unpaid
on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in the case of the share from which the reduced share
is derived; and so that as between the holders of the shares resulting from such sub-division one or
more of such shares may, subject to the provisions of the sub-division one or more of such shares may,
subject to the provisions of the Act, be given any preference or advantage over the others or any other
such shares;

• convert, all or any of its fully paid up shares into stock, and re-convert that stock into fully paid up
shares of any denomination; or

• cancel, shares which at the date of such general meeting have not been taken or agreed to be taken by
any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

General Meetings of Shareholders

In accordance with section 166 of the Companies Act, a company must hold its annual general meeting
each year within 15 months of the previous annual general meeting or within six months after the end of
each accounting year, whichever is earlier, unless extended by the Registrar of Companies at the request of
the company for any special reason.

The Articles of Association of our Company provide that the board of directors may, whenever it thinks fit,
call an extraordinary general meeting. If at any time there are not within India directors capable of acting
who are sufficient in number to form a quorum, the directors present in India may call an extraordinary
general meeting, in the same manner and as nearly as possible as that in which such a meeting may be
called by our Board of Directors. Written notices convening a meeting setting out the date, place and

Annual Report and Financial Results

The annual report must be laid before the annual general meeting of the shareholders of a company. This

governance section, and is sent to the shareholders of the company. Under the Companies Act, a company

least one English language daily newspaper circulating in the whole or substantially the whole of India and

situate. Our Company files certain information on-line, including its Annual Report, financial statements
and the shareholding pattern statement, in accordance with the requirements of the listing agreements and
as may be specified by SEBI from time to time.

Transfer of shares

Shares held through depositories are transferred in the form of book entries or in electronic form in
accordance with the regulations laid down by SEBI. These regulations provide the regime for the
functioning of the depositories and the participants and set out the manner in which the records are to be
kept and maintained and the safeguards to be followed in this system. Transfers of beneficial ownership of
shares held through a depository are exempt from stamp duty. Our Company has entered into an agreement
for such depository services with the National Securities Depository Limited and the Central Depository
Services India Limited. SEBI requires that our Company’s shares for trading and settlement purposes be in
book-entry form for all investors, except for transactions that are not made on a stock exchange and
transactions that are not required to be reported to the stock exchange. Our Company shall keep a book in
which every transfer or transmission of shares will be entered.

If a company without sufficient cause refuses to register a transfer of shares within two months from the
date on which the instrument of transfer is delivered to the company, the transferee may appeal to the
Indian Company Law Board seeking to register the transfer of shares. The Company Law Board may, in its
discretion, issue an interim order suspending the voting rights attached to the relevant shares before
completing its investigation of the alleged contravention. Under the Companies (Second Amendment) Act,
2002, the Indian Company Law Board will be replaced with the National Company Law Tribunal. Further,
under the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Repeal Act, 2003, which is expected to come into
force shortly, the SICA is sought to be repealed and the Board of Industrial and Financial Reconstruction,
as constituted under the SICA, is to be replaced with the National Company Law Tribunal.

Pursuant to the listing agreements, in the event our Company has not effected the transfer of shares within
one month or where our Company has failed to communicate to the transferee any valid objection to the
transfer within the stipulated time period of one month, our Company is required to compensate the
aggrieved party for the opportunity loss caused during the period of the delay. The Companies Act provides
that the shares or debentures of a publicly listed company shall be freely transferable. However, the board
of directors may, subject to Section 111A of the Companies Act, at any time in their discretion by giving
reasons, decline to register shares on grounds mentioned under the Companies Act. Notice of such refusal
must be sent to the transferee within one month of the date on which the transfer was lodged with the
company. According to our Company’s Articles, any person who becomes entitled to shares by reason of
death, lunacy, bankruptcy or insolvency of a member shall be entitled to the same dividend and other
advantages to which he would be entitled if he was a registered member.

Acquisition by the Company of its own Shares

The Articles of our Company authorise the purchase of its own security subject to the compliance of
sections 77A, 77AA and section 77B. Sections 77A, 77AA and 77B of the Companies Act empower a
company to purchase its own shares or other specified securities out of its free reserves, or the securities
premium account or the proceeds of the issue of any shares or other specified securities (other than from
the proceeds of an earlier issue of the same kind of shares or other specified securities proposed to be
bought back) subject to certain conditions, including:

• the buy-back should be authorised by the Articles of Association of the company;

• a special resolution has been passed in the general meeting of the company authorizing the buy-
back;

• the buy-back is limited to 25 percent of the total paid-up capital and free reserves;

109
 • all the shares or other specified securities for buy-back are fully paid-up;

• the debt owed by the company is not more than twice the capital and free reserves after such buy-
back; and

• the buy-back is in accordance with the SEBI (Buy-Back of Securities) Regulation, 1998.

The requirement of special resolution mentioned above would not be applicable if the buy-back is for less
than 10 percent of the total paid-up equity capital and free reserves of the company and provided that such
buy-back has been authorised by the board of directors of the company. A company buying back its
securities is required to extinguish and physically destroy the securities so bought back within seven days
of the last date of completion of the buy-back. Further, a company buying back its securities is not
permitted to buy back any securities for a period of one year from the buy-back and to issue securities for
six months. Every buy-back must be completed within a period of one year from the date of passing of the
special resolution or resolution of the board of directors, as the case may be. A company is also prohibited
from purchasing its own shares or specified securities through any subsidiary company, including its own
subsidiary companies, or through any investment company (other than a purchase of shares in accordance
with a scheme for the purchase of shares by trustees of or for shares to be held by or for the benefit of
employees of the company) or if the company is defaulting on the repayment of deposit or interest,
redemption of debentures or preference shares or payment of dividend to a shareholder or repayment of any
term loan or interest payable thereon to any financial institution or bank, or in the event of non-compliance
with certain other provisions of the Companies Act.

Liquidation Rights

The Articles of Association of our Company provide that on winding up, preference shares rank as regards
capital in priority to shares to the extent of the paid up value of the said shares but to no other rights or
participating in its assets. Subject to the rights of creditors, of employees and of the holders of any other
shares entitled by their terms of issue to preferential repayment over the shares, in the event of a winding-
up of our Company, the shareholders are entitled to be repaid the amounts of capital paid up or credited as
paid up on such shares. All surplus assets after payments due to employees, the holders of any preference
shares and other creditors belong to the holders of the Shares in proportion to the amount paid up or ought
to have been paid up on such shares, respectively, at the commencement of the winding-up.

1999), against our Company and the Nuclear Power Corporation before the Hon’ble High Court at
Bombay, seeking an order to set aside an award passed by Nuclear Power Corporation in favour of

filed an application under Section 34 of the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 seeking
stay of the proceedings in the aforesaid civil suit, which was rejected by court against which our
Company filed an appeal in the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad. The said appeal was allowed,
which was challenged before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of
India dismissed the appeal filed before it pursuant to an order dated December 2, 1991 which
resulted in the Som Engineering and our Company resorting to arbitration proceedings before Shri

arbitrators was held on August 25, 1992 when Som Engineering filed their statement of claim of

116
 Rs.32,96,561 which was denied by our Company. An additional claim of Rs.90,24,433.57 was

revision of claim in respect of interest on principal amount under the amended Interest on Delayed

Rs.1,80,00,338.49. The matter was reserved for award by the arbitrators. On November 2, 2001,
our Company refused to extend the time for the arbitrators for giving award, which was challenged
before the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay. The Hon’ble High Court of Bombay passed an Order
granting time for passing an award till March 18, 2002. The arbitral proceedings as well as the
proceedings initiated before the High Court of Bombay are pending final adjudication and

 ANNEXURE TO THE AUDITORS’ REPORT:

Statement referred to in Paragraph 2 of the Auditors’ Report of even date to the Members of BAJAJ
ELECTRICALS LIMITED on the Accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2007.

On the basis of the records produced to us for our verification/perusal, such checks as we considered
appropriate, and in terms of information and explanations given to us on our enquiries, we state that:

i. (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars including
quantitative details and situation of fixed assets.

(b) As explained to us, considering the nature of the Fixed Assets, the same have been
physically verified by the management at reasonable intervals during the year as per the
verification schedule adopted by the Company, whereby all the assets are verified, in a
phased manner, once in a block of three years. According to the information and
explanations given to us and the records produced to us for our verification, discrepancies
noticed on such physical verification were not, in our opinion, material and the same have
been properly dealt with in the books of account.

(c) As per the information and explanation given to us on our enquiries, the disposal of assets
during the year was not substantial, and hence would neither have an adverse impact on
the operations of the Company nor affect its going concern;

ii) (a) The inventories have been physically verified by the management at reasonable intervals
during the year in a phased manner and at the close of the year;
(b) The procedures of physical verification of inventories followed by the management as
explained to us are, in our opinion, reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the
Company and the nature of its business;
(c) According to the records produced to us for our verification and the information and
explanations given to us upon our inquiries, proper records of inventory have been
maintained by the Company and the discrepancies noticed on physical verification of
inventories referred to above, as compared to book records, though not material, have
been properly dealt with in the books of account;
iii) (a) As per the information and explanation given to us and the records produced to us for our
verification, the Company has granted unsecured loans to two companies covered in the
register maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956, aggregating Rs.1450
lakhs of which no amounts have been received during the year.
The Company has not granted any other loans to companies, firms or other parties
covered in the register maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act,1956;
(b) As per the explanations given to us, the rate of interest at which loans referred to in (a)
above are, in our opinion, not prima facie prejudicial to the interest of the Company
having regards to the market yields and the business relationships with the Company to
whom loans have been granted;
(c) The companies to whom loans have been granted, as referred to in (a) above, have been
regular in the payment of interest, wherever stipulated. However, no repayments as to
principal have been stipulated in respect of the abovementioned loan outstanding during
the year;
(d) The Company has not taken any loans during the year, secured or unsecured, from
companies, firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under section 301 of
the Companies Act,1956;
iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, there are adequate
internal control procedures commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its
business with regard to the purchase of inventory and fixed assets and for the sale of goods and
services. As per the information given to us, no major weaknesses in the internal controls have

F-3
 been identified by the management or the internal audit department of the Company during the
year.

v) (a) On the basis of the audit procedures performed by us and according to the information
and explanations given to us on our enquiries on this behalf and the records produced to
us for our verification, the particulars of contracts and arrangements required to be
entered into the register in pursuance of section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956 have
been so entered.

(b) The transactions so entered, aggregating in excess of Rs.500,000/- in respect of each

party during the year, have been, in our opinion, as per the information and explanation

prices as available with the Company for such transactions or prices at which
transactions, if any, for similar goods have been made with other parties at the relevant
time;

vi) In our opinion, the Company has complied with the directives issued by the Reserve Bank of India
and the provisions of Section 58A of the Companies Act,1956, other relevant provisions of the
said Act including the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975, where applicable, with
regard to the deposits accepted by it from the public. Since the Company has not defaulted in
repayments of deposits, compliance of Section 58AA or obtaining any order from the Company
Law Board, National Company Law Tribunal or Reserve Bank of India or any other Court or
Tribunal, does not arise;

vii) On the basis of the internal audit reports broadly reviewed by us, we are of the opinion that, the
Company has an internal audit system, commensurate with the size of its business, however, in
view of the scale up of the business operations, the internal audit systems needs to be

impact of the changing value in the purchasing power of money.
iii. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are
based upon management’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the
financial statements.

established.

6. As required by Accounting Standard 29 – “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent

Assets” mandatory in its application with effect from 1st April, 2004, the Company recognized a
liability aggregating to Rs. 594.46 Lacs (Previous Year Rs. 413.18 Lacs) for expected warranty
claims that are estimated to be incurred in future periods arising out of sales made upto the closure
of the year.

7. Ownership premises include the sum of Rs. 700/- (Previous Year Rs. 950/-) being the Face Value
of Shares in co-operative societies required to be held under their respective bye-laws.

8. The buildings (including leasehold land appurtenant thereto) and ownership premises had been
revalued as on 1st January, 1985 then resulting in the net increase in the book value by Rs. 321.01
Lacs which had been transferred to Revaluation Reserve. All the freehold land, leasehold land,
buildings (including leasehold land appurtenant thereto) and premises on ownership basis had
been revalued as on 30th September, 1994 resulting in a further net increase in the book value of
the said assets as on 1st October, 1994 by Rs. 2,305.87 Lacs which also had been transferred to
the Revaluation Reserve. As a result of the above, the total net increase in the book value of the
said assets aggregates to Rs. 2,626.88 Lacs (Rs. 62.51 Lacs on freehold land and Rs. 13.69 Lacs
on leasehold land, Rs. 816.49 Lacs on building and Rs. 1,734.19 Lacs on ownership premises).

The depreciation on the increased value has resulted in an additional charge for the year of
Rs.27.69 Lacs (Previous Year Rs. 27.92 Lacs). An amount equivalent to the additional charge has
been transferred from Revaluation Reserve to Profit & Loss Account. Such transfer, according to

cost of assets is in accordance with the SLM rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies
Act, 1956.

outstanding dues to Small Scale Industrial Undertaking at the close of the year has been shown in

ANNEXURE TO THE AUDITORS’ REPORT:

Statement referred to in Paragraph 2 of the Auditors’ Report of even date to the Members of BAJAJ
ELECTRICALS LIMITED on the Accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2008.

On the basis of the records produced to us for our verification/perusal, such checks as we considered
appropriate, and in terms of information and explanations given to us on our enquiries, we state that:

(i)(a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars including quantitative
details and situation of fixed assets.
(b) As explained to us, considering the nature of the Fixed Assets, the same have been physically
verified by the management at reasonable intervals during the year as per the verification schedule
adopted by the Company, whereby all the assets are verified, in a phased manner, once in a block
of three years. According to the information and explanations given to us and the records produced
to us for our verification, discrepancies noticed on such physical verification were not, in our
opinion, material and the same have been properly dealt with in the books of account.
(c) As per the information and explanation given to us on our enquiries, the disposal of assets during
the year was not substantial, and hence would neither have an adverse impact on the operations of
the Company nor affect its going concern;

(ii)(a) The inventories have been physically verified by the management at reasonable intervals during
the year in a phased manner and at the close of the year;
(b) The procedures of physical verification of inventories followed by the management as explained to
us are, in our opinion, reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the Company and the
nature of its business;
(c) According to the records produced to us for our verification and the information and explanations
given to us upon our inquiries, proper records of inventory have been maintained by the Company
and the discrepancies noticed on physical verification of inventories referred to above, as
compared to book records, though not material, have been properly dealt with in the books of
account;

(iii)(a) As per the information and explanation given to us and the records produced to us for our
verification, the Company has granted unsecured loans to two companies covered in the register
maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956, aggregating Rs.1450 lakhs at the
beginning of the year, fresh loans granted during the year Rs.1065 lakhs, repaid by one of the
companies Rs.1320 lakhs and balance at the end of the year aggregating to Rs.1185 lakhs.

The Company has not granted any other loans to companies, firms or other parties covered in the
register maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act,1956;
(b) As per the explanations given to us, the rate of interest at which loans referred to in (a) above are,
in our opinion, not prima facie prejudicial to the interest of the Company having regards to the
market yields and the business relationships with the Company to whom loans have been granted;
(c) The companies to whom loans have been granted, as referred to in (a) above, have been regular in
the payment of interest, wherever stipulated. However, no repayments as to principal have been
stipulated in respect of the abovementioned loans outstanding during the year;
(d) The Company has not taken any loans during the year, secured or unsecured, from companies,
firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under section 301 of the Companies
Act,1956;

(iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, there are adequate
internal control procedures commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its
business with regard to the purchase of inventory and fixed assets and for the sale of goods and
services. As per the information given to us, no major weaknesses in the internal controls have
been identified by the management or the internal audit department of the Company during the
year.

F-49
(v)(a) On the basis of the audit procedures performed by us and according to the information and
explanations given to us on our enquiries on this behalf and the records produced to us for our
verification, the particulars of contracts and arrangements required to be entered into the register
in pursuance of section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956 have been so entered.
(b) The transactions so entered, aggregating in excess of Rs.500,000/- in respect of each party during
the year, have been, in our opinion, as per the information and explanation given to us, made at
prices which are reasonable having regard to prevailing market prices as available with the
Company for such transactions or prices at which transactions, if any, for similar goods have been
made with other parties at the relevant time;

(vi) In our opinion, the Company has complied with the directives issued by the Reserve Bank of India
and the provisions of Section 58A of the Companies Act,1956, other relevant provisions of the
said Act including the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975, where applicable, with
regard to the deposits accepted by it from the public. Since the Company has not defaulted in
repayments of deposits, compliance of Section 58AA or obtaining any order from the Company
Law Board, National Company Law Tribunal or Reserve Bank of India or any other Court or
Tribunal, does not arise;

(vii) On the basis of the internal audit reports broadly reviewed by us, we are of the opinion that, the
Company has an internal audit system commensurate with the size of its business.
However, in view of the scale up of the business operations, the internal audit system needs
to be strengthened;

(viii) We have broadly reviewed the Books of Account maintained by the Company pursuant to the
rules made by the Central Government for the maintenance of Cost Records under Section
209(1)(d) of the Companies Act,1956, and are of the opinion that prima facie the prescribed
accounts and records have been made and maintained. We have, however, not made a detailed
examination of the records with a view to determine whether they are accurate;

(ix)(a) According to the records of the Company, the Company has been regular in depositing undisputed
statutory dues including Provident Fund, Investor Education and Protection Fund, Employees
State Insurance, Income Tax, Sales Tax, Wealth Tax, Service Tax, Customs Duty, Excise Duty,
Cess and other statutory dues with the appropriate authorities;
(b) According to the records of the Company and the information and explanations given to us upon
our enquiries in this regards, disputed dues in respect of Sales Tax, Income-tax, Wealth-tax,
Service Tax, Customs Duty, Excise Duty and Cess unpaid as at the last day of the financial year,
are as follows;

(x) As per the information and explanations given to us, and keeping in the mind the
restructuring proposals sanctioned by the lenders in the past, the Company has not defaulted
in repayment of dues to banks or financial institutions during the year. The Company has not
borrowed any sums through debentures;
(xi) The Company has not granted any loans and advances on the basis of security by way of
pledge of shares, debentures and other investments;
(xii) The terms and conditions at which guarantees have been given by the Company for loans
taken from financial institutions and/or banks by others, are, in our opinion, not prejudicial to
the interest of the Company;
(xiii) We were unable to establish any audit trail of fund flows, which can correlate end use with
corresponding funds raised. However, as per the information and explanations given to us and
on the basis of the total expenditure incurred on the various assets till date, the term loans
obtained by the Company, in our opinion, have been applied for the purpose for which they
were obtained;
(xiv) As we were not able to establish any audit trail of fund flows which can correlate end use with
corresponding funds raised, we have examined the Balance Sheet of the Company as at 31st
March, 2008 upon which we found that the Company as on that date had short term sources of
funds amounting to Rs.14,437.06 lakhs, which were entirely utilized towards short term
applications;
(xv) As per the information and explanations given to us, on our inquiries on this behalf, there
were no frauds on or by the Company, which have been noticed or reported during the year.

In view of the nature of business carried on by the Company clause no (xiii) of CARO, 2003 is not
applicable to the Company. Further, in view of the absence of conditions pre-requisite to the reporting
requirement of clauses (iii) (e), (f), (g), (x), (xiv), (xviii), (xix) and (xx), the said clauses are, at present, not
applicable.

expenditure except those with significant uncertainties.
ii) Financial statements are based on historical cost. These costs are not adjusted to reflect the impact
of the changing value in the purchasing power of money.
iii) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The
estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon
management’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the financial
statements.

II. Revenue Recognition:

Income:

same lacks reasonable certainty, revenue recognition is postponed to the extent of uncertainty.

revalued as on 1st January, 1985 then resulting in the net increase in the book value by Rs. 321.01
which had been transferred to Revaluation Reserve. All the freehold land, leasehold land,
buildings (including leasehold land appurtenant thereto) and premises on ownership basis had
been revalued as on 30th September, 1994 resulting in a further net increase in the book value of
the said assets as on 1st October, 1994 by Rs. 2,305.87 which also had been transferred to the

816.49 on building and Rs. 1,734.19 on ownership premises).

ANNEXURE TO THE AUDITORS’ REPORT:

Statement referred to in Paragraph 2 of the Auditors’ Report of even date to the Members of BAJAJ
ELECTRICALS LIMITED on the Accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2009.

On the basis of the records produced to us for our verification/perusal, such checks as we considered
appropriate, and in terms of information and explanations given to us on our enquiries, we state that:

(i)(a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars including quantitative
details and situation of fixed assets.
(b) As explained to us, considering the nature of the Fixed Assets, the same have been
physically verified by the management at reasonable intervals during the year as per the
verification schedule adopted by the Company, whereby all the assets are verified, in a phased
manner, once in a block of three years. According to the information and explanations given to us
and the records produced to us for our verification, discrepancies noticed on such physical
verification were not, in our opinion, material and the same have been properly dealt with in the
books of account.
(c) As per the information and explanation given to us on our enquiries, the disposal of assets during
the year was not substantial, and hence would neither have an adverse impact on the operations of
the company nor affect its going concern;

(ii)(a) The inventories have been physically verified by the management at reasonable intervals during
the year in a phased manner and at the close of the year;
(b) The procedures of physical verification of inventories followed by the management as explained
to us are, in our opinion, reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the Company and the
nature of its business;
(c) According to the records produced to us for our verification and the information and explanations
given to us upon our inquiries, proper records of inventory have been maintained by the Company
and the discrepancies noticed on physical verification of inventories referred to above, as
compared to book records, though not material, have been properly dealt with in the books of
account;
(iii)(a) As per the information and explanations given to us and the records produced to us for our
verification, the company has granted unsecured loans to two companies covered in the register
maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956, aggregating Rs.1185 lakhs at the
beginning of the year, fresh loans granted during the year Rs. 1542 lakhs and balance at the end of
the year aggregating to Rs. 2727 lakhs.

The Company has not granted any other loans to companies, firms or other parties covered in the
register maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act,1956;

(b) As per the explanations given to us, the rate of interest at which loans referred to in (a) above are,
in our opinion, not prima facie prejudicial to the interest of the Company having regards to the
market yields and the business relationships with the Company to whom loans have been granted;
(c) The companies to whom loans have been granted, as referred to in (a) above, have been regular in
the payment of interest, wherever stipulated. However, no repayments as to principal have been
stipulated in respect of the abovementioned loan outstanding during the year;
(d) The Company has not taken any loans during the year, secured or unsecured, from companies,
firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under section 301 of the Companies
Act,1956;

F-97
(iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, there are adequate
internal control procedures commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its
business with regard to the purchase of inventory and fixed assets and for the sale of goods and
services. As per the information given to us, no major weaknesses in the internal controls have
been identified by the management or the internal audit department of the company during the
year.
(v)(a) On the basis of the audit procedures performed by us and according to the information and
explanations given to us on our enquiries on this behalf and the records produced to us for our
verification, the particulars of contracts and arrangements required to be entered into the register
in pursuance of section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956 have been so entered.

(b) The transactions so entered, aggregating in excess of Rs.500,000/- in respect of each party during
the year, have been, in our opinion, as per the information and explanation given to us, made at
prices which are reasonable having regard to prevailing market prices as available with the
Company for such transactions or prices at which transactions, if any, for similar goods have been
made with other parties at the relevant time;
(vi) In our opinion, the Company has complied with the directives issued by the Reserve Bank of India
and the provisions of Section 58A of the Companies Act,1956, other relevant provisions of the
said Act including the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975, where applicable, with
regard to the deposits accepted by it from the public. Since the Company has not defaulted in
repayments of deposits, compliance of Section 58AA or obtaining any order from the Company
Law Board, National Company Law Tribunal or Reserve Bank of India or any other Court or
Tribunal, does not arise;
(vii) On the basis of the internal audit reports broadly reviewed by us, we are of the opinion that, the
Company has during the year taken steps to strengthen the internal audit functions to make the
internal audit system, commensurate with the size and nature of its business.;
(viii) We have broadly reviewed the Books of Account maintained by the Company pursuant to the
rules made by the Central Government for the maintenance of Cost Records under Section
209(1)(d) of the Companies Act,1956, and are of the opinion that prima facie the prescribed
accounts and records have been made and maintained. We have, however, not made a detailed
examination of the records with a view to determine whether they are accurate;
(ix)(a) According to the records of the Company, the company has been generally regular in depositing
undisputed statutory dues including Provident Fund, Investor Education and Protection Fund,
Employees State Insurance, Income Tax, Sales Tax, Wealth Tax, Service Tax, Customs Duty,
Excise duty, Cess and other Statutory dues with the appropriate authorities;
(b) According to the records of the Company and the information and explanations given to us upon
our enquiries in this regards, disputed dues in respect of Sales Tax, Income-tax, Wealth-tax,
Service Tax, Customs Duty, Excise Duty and Cess unpaid as at the last day of the financial year,
are as follows;

dues to banks or financial institutions during the year. The Company has not borrowed any sums
through debentures;

shares, debentures and other investments;
(xii) The terms and conditions at which guarantees have been given by the company for loans taken
from financial institutions and/or banks by others, are, in our opinion, not prejudicial to the
interest of the company;
(xiii) We were unable to establish any audit trail of fund flows, which can correlate end use with
corresponding funds raised. However, as per the information and explanations given to us and on
the basis of the total expenditure incurred on the various assets till date, the term loans obtained by
the Company, in our opinion, have been applied for the purpose for which they were obtained;

corresponding funds raised, we have examined the Balance Sheet of the Company as at 31st

funds amounting to Rs. 12862 lakhs, which were entirely utilized towards short term applications;
xv) As per the information and explanations given to us, on our inquiries on this behalf, there were no
frauds on or by the Company, which have been noticed or reported during the year.
In view of the nature of business carried on by the company clause no (xiii) of CARO, 2003 is not
applicable to the company. Further in view of the absence of conditions prerequisite to the reporting
requirement of clauses (iii) (e), (f), (g), (x), (xiv), (xviii), (xix) and (xx) the said clauses are, at present, not
applicable.

i) The Company generally follows the accrual basis of accounting both as to income and
expenditure except those with significant uncertainties.
ii) Financial statements are based on historical cost. These costs are not adjusted to reflect the
impact of the changing value in the purchasing power of money.
iii) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are
based upon management’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the
financial statements.

II. Revenue Recognition:

Income:
The Company recognizes income on accrual basis. However, where the ultimate collection of the
same lacks reasonable certainty, revenue recognition is postponed to the extent of uncertainty.

Assets”, the Company recognised a liability aggregating to Rs. 1,227.07 (Previous Year Rs.
889.32) for expected warranty claims that are estimated to be incurred in future periods arising out
of sales made upto the closure of the year.

5. Ownership premises include the sum of Rs. 0.01 (Previous Year Rs. 0.01) being the Face Value of
Shares in co-operative societies required to be held under their respective bye-laws.

6. The buildings (including leasehold land appurtenant thereto) and ownership premises had been
revalued as on 1st January, 1985 then resulting in the net increase in the book value by Rs. 321.01
which had been transferred to Revaluation Reserve. All the freehold land, leasehold land,
buildings (including leasehold land appurtenant thereto) and premises on ownership basis had
been revalued as on 30th September, 1994 resulting in a further net increase in the book value of
the said assets as on 1st October, 1994 by Rs. 2,305.87 which also had been transferred to the
Revaluation Reserve. As a result of the above, the total net increase in the book value of the said
assets aggregates to Rs. 2,626.88 (Rs. 62.51 on freehold land and Rs. 13.69 on leasehold land, Rs.
816.49 on building and Rs. 1,734.19 on ownership premises).

26.26 (Previous Year Rs. 26.26). An amount equivalent to the additional charge has been
transferred from Revaluation Reserve to Profit & Loss Account. Such transfer, according to an

In respect of Options granted under the Employee Stock Options Plan, in accordance with guidelines issued
by the SEBI, the accounting value of the options is accounted as deferred employee compensation, which is
amortised on a straight line basis over a period between the date of grant of options and eligible dates for
conversion into equity shares. Consequently salaries, wages bonus, etc. includes Rs. 1.59 Crores (2007-08 :
Rs.1.32 Crores) being the amortization of deferred employees compensation, after adjusting for reversals on
account of options lapsed.

Had the Company adopted fair value method in respect of Options granted, the employee Compensation cost
would have been higher by Rs.3.40 Crores (2007-08 : Rs.1.33 Crores), Profit after Tax lower by Rs.2.24
Crores (2007-08 : Rs.0.88 Crores) and the diluted earnings per share would have been lower by Rs. 1.50
(2007– 08 : Rs.0.50)

The above disclosures have been made consequent to the issue of Guidance Note on Accounting for
Employee Share-based Payments issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in the year 2005
and applicable for the period on or after 1st April 2005.

 LIMITED REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors

Bajaj Electricals Limited
45/47, Veer Nariman Road,
Mumbai-400001.

1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of ‘Un-audited financial results for the quarter and
half year ended 30th September 2009 (the ‘Statement’) in which are incorporated the results for the
quarter and half year ended 30th September 2009 (‘interim financial information’) of Bajaj
Electricals Limited prepared by the Company pursuant to Clause 41 of the Listing Agreement with
the Stock Exchanges in India, which has been initialled by us for identification purposes. This
Statement is the responsibility of the Company’s management and has been approved by the
Board of Directors/Committee of Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to issue a report on
the Statement based on our review.

2. We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagement (SRE)
2400, “Engagements to Review Financial Statements” issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain
moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

3. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied
to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit
and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

4. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the Statement prepared, fairly in all material respects, in accordance with the
Accounting Standards notified pursuant to the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 as
per Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 and other recognised accounting practices and
policies, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Clause 41 of the
Listing Agreement including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any
material misstatement.

5. Further, we also report that we have traced the number of shares as well as the percentage of
shareholdings in respect of the aggregate amount of public shareholdings, as well as that of the
promoters and promoter group (both pledged/encumbered and non-encumbered), as disclosed in
aforesaid Statement, from the representations & other records and information & explanations
given to us by the company’s management, and found the same to be in accordance therewith.
