4. CHANGES IN NATURE OF BUSINESS, IF ANY

There are no changes in the nature of business of your Company during the year under review.

5. MATERIAL CHANGES AFFECTING THE COMPANY

Jindal Rail Infrastructure Limited (“JRIL”) has been operational since the year 2012. Due to JRIL being a new entrant in an already oligopolistic market, without any established record in this field of business and backward and forward integration, it was continuously incurring losses till financial year 2022-23. Such a scenario deprived JRIL of a level playing field which made its operations run into losses.

However, JRIL has recorded profits during the previous financial year 2023-24 due to extraordinary efforts by the Management and timely funding support by the Promoter group. The business of JRIL was always seen as a business with potential and bright future by the Management. Though JRIL had always received timely and due support and assistance from the Management and the Promoter group as and when required, it still had a very long road to recoup its past losses and to turn profitable to sustain on its own and to become a dominant player in the area of its business.

With a turnaround of the prospects of the business during the previous year and current visibility with respect to wagon manufacturing business in India, JRIL had become a launching pad in its industry, however, it still required significant investments to continue to grow and remain profitable.

On the other hand, the “Waste to Energy” business platform within the Company had taken a leadership position in the country with six plants already in operation and another three under project implementation with one more project awaiting the LOI from the government. This platform had became the country's leader by far with over 110 MW power capacity and the operations have become profitable and self- sustainable. This business augers very well with Indian Government's initiatives of “Swatch Bharat”, energy from alternate sources as well as focus on climate change. The business has also received a lot of appreciation from Govt. of India as well as various State Govt. and discussions were on to grow this platform to reach all the major urban centers.

Hence, the Management decided to explore a partial or full monetization of the JRIL business as it believed that the current state of the business of JRIL and the business prospects in short to medium term were likely to give an attractive valuation and keeping in mind the following advantages to all the stakeholders including shareholders:

Timing of Disinvestment: As stated above, JRIL was postured well and possessed a business plan which promised a better valuation, keeping in perspective the order book and projected profitability.

Expansion of Waste to Energy (WtE) Platform: The proceeds from the disinvestment when received would assist in the expansion of the Waste to Energy (WtE) platform owned by the Company which has in the recent times become one of the largest WtE platforms in the Country. The Company was focusing on the expansion of the WtE business which required equity and debt funding. The funds generated through the disinvestment of JRIL would be utilized to fund or generate leverage for the WtE business in order to grow and reach its full potential and in return create value for its shareholders.

Deleverage the Balance Sheet of the Company: The divestment would also help diminish significantly the consolidated debt of the Company and provide more room for fund mobilization as per the requirement.

Therefore, keeping in view the aforesaid objective, on 2nd September 2024, your Company had sold, transferred, divested, disposed off, all of the rights, title and interest in all the securities held by JITF Urban Infrastructure Services Limited, a material subsidiary of the Company, in Jindal Rail Infrastructure Limited, on a fully diluted basis, to Texmaco Rail & Engineering Limited pursuant to the approval of the shareholders received under Regulation 24(5) of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015 at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 22nd July, 2024.
