None of the Directors or any KMPs of the Company or their respective relatives are either directly or indirectly concerned or
interested, financially or otherwise, in this Resolution.
Item No.5
Pursuant to Regulation 23 of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2015, as amended (“SEBI LODR”), the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) read with the
applicable rules framed thereunder (including any statutory modification(s) or re-enactment thereof, for the time being in force),
and the Company’s Policy on Related Party Transactions (“the Policy”), the material related party transactions to be entered by
the Company on arm’s length basis with its subsidiary company namely, Sir Shadi Lal Enterprises Ltd. (‘SSEL’) as set out in Item
No.5 require prior approval of the members of the Company by means of an ordinary resolution.
In accordance with Regulation 23 of the SEBI LODR, “Material Related Party Transaction” means any transaction with a related
party if the transaction/transactions to be entered into individually or taken together with previous transactions during a financial
year, exceeds Rupees one thousand crore or ten percent of the annual consolidated turnover of the Company as per its last
audited financial statements whichever is lower.
Justification for the transactions
With the acquisition of 61.77% equity stake in SSEL by the Company, SSEL has become a subsidiary of the Company with effect
from June 20, 2024 and a related party within the meaning of Section 2(76) of the Act and regulation 2(1)(zb) of SEBI LODR.
SSEL requires adequate funding arrangements to be able to conduct its normal business and operate the plant satisfactorily and
reliably in the upcoming season 2024-25, and the funding is required to make payment towards old cane dues, suppliers &
employees’ dues, repairs of plant including capex, and working capital requirements. The funding will be partly undertaken in
SSEL through loans from lenders / banks and the balance requirements will need to be funded by the Company out of its internal
resources/accruals and/or any other appropriate sources permissible under law.
In view of weak financial position of SSEL and its loss-making track record, it would be difficult to for it to secure requisite funding
based on its financials alone and the banks / lenders may require some financial support from the Company in the form of a
comfort letter or a corporate guarantee or any other security.
Further, both the Company and SSEL are in the similar businesses and they can can benefit by availing technical and
management resources on secondment basis from each other. Being engaged in same line of business, the Company may also
purchase/sell certain goods & materials and avail/render any services for effective and optimal utilization of inventories and other
resources. All these transactions will be mutually beneficial to both the companies and will help the Company in expanding its
business operations in sugar and allied businesses.
The proposed RPTs, along with transactions already approved, are likely to exceed 10% of the turnover of the Company (FY
2023-24) and hence, being material RPTs, these are required to be approved by the shareholders. The management has
provided the relevant information to the Audit Committee including rationale, material terms and basis of the RPTs as per the
details below. The Audit Committee after reviewing the necessary information has approved the proposal for entering into
material related party transactions during FY 2024-25 with its subsidiary company, SSEL, subject to the approval of the members
of the Company. The Committee noted and satisfied that the transactions will be in the normal course of business and will be on
arm’s length basis.
The Company has in place a requisite process for approval of Material Related Party Transactions and on dealing with Related
Parties. As per the process, necessary details for the Related Party Transactions as applicable along with the justification are
provided to the Audit Committee in terms of the Company’s Policy on Related Party Transactions. Further, the Audit Committee

Reducing carbon footprint and emissions
Our Sugar business has 104.5 MW of co-generation
capacity which reduces carbon footprint and facilitates
in meeting nearly all the captive power requirement
of the sugar & distillery units. Installation of bag filters,
electrostatic precipitators and wet scrubbers in steam
boilers at sugar and distillery units keeps air pollution below
regulatory norms.

Our Power Transmission business (PTB) provides innovative,


value-engineered solutions, including to the renewable
energy sector, promoting a green economy. They have
reduced their carbon footprint by switching to LED lighting,
having captive wind capacity which meets ~85% of power
needs and using variable frequency drive for heavy-duty
motors. The use of sea routes for export/imports optimises
fuel consumption.

sources to reduce its carbon footprint and promote
the usage of sustainable energy. By promoting cleaner
energy sources, TEIL is thereby addressing the
environmental concerns and is taking proactive steps
towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Place: Noida 2023, August 12, 2023, August 12, 2023 and January 30, 2024 respectively. Since they drew remuneration only for part of the year,
Date: May 20, 2024 the ratio of their remuneration to median remuneration and percentage increase in remuneration is not comparable and hence not
stated above.
(ii) The remuneration to Non-Executive Independent Directors includes commission in accordance with the relevant provisions of the
Companies Act, 2013.
(2) In the Financial year 2023 – 24, the annual median remuneration was at ` 5.07 lakh and there was a decrease of 22.95% in the median
remuneration of the employees as compared to last year (The salaries of seasonal employees in sugar units have not been considered
herein as they are deployed only for the duration of the Sugar season and not for the entire year). The decrease in median wage is attributed
to the fact that during the last financial year 2022 – 23, we had executed two major wage settlements along-with arrears apart from the
normal annual salary increase process: the wage increases under the Sugar wage board (for around 1400 employees) and the long terms
wage settlement for PTB Mysore workmen (for around 90 workmen).
(3) There were 4492 permanent employees (1026 officers, 3466 workmen including 1620 seasonal employees) on the rolls of the Company
as on March 31, 2024.
(4) The average percentage salary increases of employees other than managerial personnel was 5.65% against 15.11% in the managerial
remuneration. The increase in remuneration is on account of higher performance bonus as per approvals of Board and Shareholders’
in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Further, the increase in remuneration is in line with considerable
management effort to plan, implement and achieve improvement in operational efficiencies of the Sugar Business, which will help the
Company to better withstand cyclicality in the sugar industry.
(5) It is hereby affirmed that the remuneration paid during the financial ended March 31, 2024 is as per the Nomination and Remuneration
policy of the Company.

offset by an increase in the value of the plan’s debt instruments.

the objective and focus of the Group to reduce debts to be able to meet the cyclicalities of the sugar business. (a) Interest rate risk on loans and borrowings
(b) Sugar price risk
Apart from cyclical sugar business, the Group has alternate revenue streams in the form of distillery and engineering
business, which, to a large extent, offset the impact of sugar cyclicalities. (c) Other market risks
(a) Interest rate risk
Table hereunder provides the current ratios of the Group as at the year end:
Most of the borrowings availed by the Group are subject to interest on floating rate basis linked to the MCLR (Marginal
As at As at Cost of funds based Lending Rate). In view of the fact that the total borrowings of the Group are quite substantial, the
31-Mar-24 31-Mar-23 Group is exposed to interest rate risk.
