CURRENCY OF PRESENTATION

Unless indicated, all references to page numbers in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus are to the page numbers of
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

Financial Data

Unless indicated otherwise, the financial data in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is derived from our Restated
Financial Statements.

Unless the context otherwise requires, any percentage, amounts, as set forth in “Risk Factors”, “Summary of
Business” “Business”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of
Operations” on pages 16, 50, 128 and 301, respectively and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have
been calculated on the basis of our Restated Financial Statements unless otherwise stated.”

Certain data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus in relation to certain operating metrics, financial and
other business related information not otherwise included in the Restated Financial Statements has been reviewed
and verified by (i) S.K. Bhatia, Chartered Engineer; (ii) AMK & Associates, Chartered Accountants; (iii) Global
Environment and Mining Services (Consulting Engineers, Mine Designers, Geologists and Surveyors); (vi)
Synergy Geotech Private Limited; (v) Sripad Pujar and BVR Achar, on behalf of Chaithanya Geo Lynx, Mining,
Geology, Survey and Environmental Consultants; (vii) Shailendra Singh Bisht, on behalf of Udaipur Mi-Tech
Private Limited; (viii) S.K. Soni; and (ix) Agrawal Sanjay & Company, Chartered Accountants.

Our Company’s financial year commences on April 1 of the immediately preceding calendar year and ends on
March 31 of that particular calendar year, so all references to a particular financial year are to the 12 month period
commencing on April 1 of the immediately preceding calendar year and ending on March 31 of that particular
calendar year. Reference in this Draft Red Herring Prospects to the terms Fiscal or Fiscal Year or Financial Year
or FY is to the 12 months ended on March 31 of each year, unless otherwise specified.

On February 16, 2015, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015 (“IAS Rules”) for the purpose of enacting changes to Indian GAAP that are intended to align Indian
GAAP further with IFRS. The IAS Rules provide that the financial information of the companies to which they
apply shall be prepared and audited in accordance with the Ind AS. We have transitioned to the Ind AS accounting
standards with effect from April 1, 2015 and have prepared our Restated Financial Statements for (i) the three
months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018, 2017 and 2016 in accordance with Ind AS; and (ii) Fiscals 2015
and 2014 in accordance with Indian GAAP.

In accordance with the SEBI circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL/CIR/P/2016/47 dated March 31, 2016 and Ind AS
101, First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standard, we have presented reconciliation from Indian GAAP to
Ind AS in “Financial Statements – Note 49 – First Time Adoption of IND AS - Reconciliations between previous
Indian GAAP and Ind AS” on page 255. Except such reconciliation, we have not made any attempt to quantify
the impact of the differences between Indian GAAP and Ind AS as applied to our financial information and it is
urged that you consult your own advisors regarding the impact of difference, if any, on financial data included in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Potential investors should consult their own advisers for an understanding of
the principal differences between the existing Indian GAAP and the Ind AS, and how these differences might
affect the financial statements appearing in this document. See “Risk Factors – Significant differences exist
between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as Indian GAAP, IFRS and U.S. GAAP, which may be
material to investors’ assessment of our financial condition.” on page 41.
Indian GAAP and Ind AS differ from accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar in
other countries, including IFRS and US GAAP and the reconciliation of the financial information to other
accounting principles has not been provided. Our Company has not attempted to explain those differences or

12
quantify their impact on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and investors should
consult their own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our Company’s financial data. The
degree to which the financial information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful
information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting policies and practices,
Ind AS, Indian GAAP, the Companies Act and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar
with Indian GAAP, Ind AS, the Companies Act, the SEBI ICDR Regulations and practices on the financial
disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited and we urge you to
consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our financial data. See “Risk Factors –
Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as Indian GAAP, IFRS and
U.S. GAAP, which may be material to investors’ assessment of our financial condition.” on page 41.

Certain figures contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including financial information, have been subject
to rounding adjustments. All decimals have been rounded off to two decimal points. In certain instances, (i) the
sum or percentage change of such numbers may not conform exactly to the total figure given; and (ii) the sum of
the numbers in a column or row in certain tables may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column
or row. However, where any figures that may have been sourced from third-party industry sources are rounded
off to other than two decimal points in their respective sources, such figures appear in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus as rounded-off to such number of decimal points as provided in such respective sources.

 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. These forward looking
statements include statements which can generally be identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”,
“believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “likely to”, “objective”, “plan”, “propose”, “will continue”, “seek to”,
“will pursue” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our strategies,
objectives, plan, prospects or goals are also forward looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current plans, estimates and expectations and actual results
may differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements,
whether made by us or any third party, are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. This
may be due to risks or uncertainties associated with our expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory
changes pertaining to the industries in India in which we have our businesses and our ability to respond to them,
our ability to successfully implement our strategy, our growth and expansion, technological changes, our exposure
to market risks, general economic and political conditions in India, which have an impact on our business activities
or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in
India and globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes, changes in competition in our industry and
incidence of any natural calamities and/or acts of violence. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially include, including, but not limited to:

 A relatively short operating history of our business.

 Any adverse development affecting eastern India where our operations are concentrated.
 A slowdown or shutdown in our manufacturing operations or under-utilization of our manufacturing
plants.
 Our inability to mine sufficient limestone for our operations or failure to comply with the terms of the
mining lease.
 A shortage or non-availability of labour, power, fuel or water .
 Inability to source adequate raw materials at acceptable costs.

 SECTION II - RISK FACTORS

An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information
in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an
investment in our Equity Shares. The risks described below are not the only ones relevant to us or our Equity
Shares, the country and the industry in which we currently operate. Additional risks and uncertainties, not
presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, results of operations
and financial condition. If any of the following risks, or other risks that are not currently known or are currently
deemed immaterial, actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer, the
trading price of our Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. To obtain a
complete understanding of our Company, prospective investors should read this section in conjunction with
“Business”, “Industry Overview” and “Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” on pages 128, 99 and 301, respectively, as well as the financial, statistical and other
information contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. In making an investment decision, prospective
investors must rely on their own examination of us and the terms of the Offer including the merits and risks
involved. You should consult your tax, financial and legal advisors about the particular consequences to you of
an investment in our Equity Shares.

Prospective investors should pay particular attention to the fact that our Company is incorporated under the laws
of India and is subject to a legal and regulatory environment, which may differ in certain respects from that of
other countries. This Draft Red Herring Prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks,
assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the considerations described below and
elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. See “Forward Looking Statements” on page 15.

Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors below, we are not in a position to quantify the financial
or other implications of any of the risks described in this section. Unless the context requires otherwise, our
financial information has been derived from our Restated Financial Statements.

The industry-related information contained in this section is derived from the CRISIL Report. We commissioned
the CRISIL Report for the purposes of confirming our understanding of the industry in connection with the Offer.
Neither our Company, nor any other person connected with the Offer, including the BRLMs, has independently
verified the information in the CRISIL Report or other publicly available information cited in this section. In this

has been used for industry related data in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and such data has not been
independently verified by us.” below.

Internal Risk Factors

Risks Relating to our Business

1. Criminal proceedings and proceedings for violation of securities laws have been initiated against certain of
our Promoters and Directors and any conviction as a result of such proceedings may affect our business,
reputation and results of operations.

A first information report was lodged by the Deputy Director of the Fire Prevention Wing, West Bengal Fire
& Emergency Services, with the Lake Police Station, Kolkata against various persons, who were accused of
willfully not maintaining a fire fighting system or an evacuation management team, allegedly dumping
combustible materials, and inadequately responding to a fire at AMRI Hospital, resulting in the death of and
injuries to several persons. Subsequently, a charge sheet was filed against 16 persons, including certain
Promoters (the “Accused Persons”) who were also the directors of AMRI Hospitals Limited, for various
charges under the provisions of Indian Penal Code, 1860, including culpable homicide not amounting to
murder, attempt to commit culpable homicide, as well as under the provisions of the West Bengal Fire Services
Act, 1950. The matter is currently pending before the Additional Sessions Judge, 3rd Court, 24-Parganas
South. Additionally, applications seeking alteration of charges were made by the Accused Persons with the
Calcutta High Court. These applications are currently pending.

Additionally, SEBI has imposed a penalty of ₹ 0.80 million on Dr. Radhe Shyam Agarwal, one of our
Promoters and also the Chairman of Emami Limited, for stating that Emami Limited intends to buy the equity
shares of a listed company, Amrutanjan Healthcare Limited (“AHL”) to a journalist, without having discussed

16
 such intention with the board of Emami Limited, which was subsequently published in a media report. While
SEBI noted that no disproportionate gains or unfair advantage was made by Dr. Radhe Shyam Agarwal or any
specific loss suffered by investors as a consequence of such statement, it was held that the trading price of
AHL was impacted, which resulted in a violation of Regulations 3 and 4 of the SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent
and Unfair Trade Practices Relating to the Securities Market) Regulations, 2003. Dr. Radhe Shyam Agarwal
has filed an appeal against the order passed by SEBI before the Securities Appellate Tribunal (the “SAT”),
and the matter is currently pending.

Further, one of our Independent Directors, Anand Rathi, is involved in certain criminal proceedings that have
been initiated against him, Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers Limited and others, alleging, among others,
criminal breach of trust, cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property, using as genuine a forged
document or electronic record and criminal conspiracy. These proceedings are pending at various fora. Further,
in 2001, SEBI had passed an order against Anand Rathi, one of our Independent Directors restraining him
from holding any position of a director or trustee of any capital market related institutions/ entities for two
years with effect from March 12, 2001. Subsequently, upon preferring an appeal before the SAT against such
order, pursuant to an order dated February 28, 2002, the SAT modified SEBI’s order and restrained him from
holding any position as a member of the governing board or office bearer of any stock exchanges as well as in
any capital market related public institutions for a period of one year from March 12, 2001. For further details,
see “Other Regulatory and Statutory Disclosures” on page 343.

In addition, Anand Rathi received a summons dated July 15, 2016, from the Assistant Director, Directorate of
Enforcement, Mumbai, as director of Anand Rathi Commodities Limited (“ARCL”), which is a member of
National Spot Exchange Limited along with requisite documents in connection with ongoing investigations
against National Spot Exchange Limited under the provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.
Pursuant to a reply dated July 16, 2016, Anand Rathi has submitted that he has never been a director of ARCL
and does not hold any position in ARCL and therefore not fully conversant with the affairs of ARCL and
communicated the details of the relevant person who was managing the day to day business affairs of ARCL.

Further, certain of our other directors, being Sundaram Balasubramanian and Ram Krishna Agarwal have
pending criminal proceedings against them in relation to dishonour of cheque and non-compliance with section
227 (2) read with section 233 of the Companies Act 1956 for non-classification of dividend income in the
annual accounts of a company, respectively.

For further details of the proceedings mentioned above, see “Outstanding Litigation and Material
Developments - Litigation involving our Promoters - Outstanding Criminal Litigation involving our
Promoters” on page 333, “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments - Litigation involving our
Promoters - Pending action by statutory or regulatory authorities against our Promoter” on page 334, and
“Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments - Litigation involving our Directors - Outstanding
Criminal Litigation involving our Directors” on page 335.

2. We have a relatively short operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future
prospects.

Our business has a relatively short operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and
future prospects. We commenced our cement manufacturing commercial operations in December 2016, and
much of our growth has occurred in recent periods. We have encountered, and will continue to encounter,
risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies, including those related to:

 market acceptance of our current and future products;

 our ability to compete with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the market
for our products;
 our ability to successfully expand our business;
 our ability to operate profitably in a sustainable manner;
 uncertainties in relation to new local business partners, including dealers and distributors, logistics and
transportation partners;
 the amount and timing of operating expenses, particularly sales and marketing expenses, related to the
maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and manufacturing plants;
 write-downs, impairment charges or unforeseen liabilities in connection with acquisitions;
 our ability to successfully manage any acquisitions; and
 general economic and political conditions in our domestic markets.

17
 If we are unable to manage these risks successfully, it could adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Further, we and our Promoters have limited experience in manufacturing cement and operating limestone
mines and may face managerial, technical and logistical challenges while operating our plants and mining
units. Any failure on our part to effectively manage such challenges could disrupt our operations. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to develop efficient, automated, low-cost manufacturing capability and
processes that will enable us to meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards, or
production volumes required to successfully market our products. Even if we are successful in developing
our high volume manufacturing capability and processes, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so
in time to satisfy the requirements of our customers. Our failure to develop such manufacturing processes
and capabilities could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

3. We have incurred losses during the last two financial years of our operations and we may not achieve or
sustain profitability in the future.

We have incurred losses in the last two financial years of our operations and our loss for the period was ₹
785.68 million and ₹ 380.54 million for Fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. These losses were due to the
substantial investments we made to set up our manufacturing plants, grow and maintain our business and
acquire customers. Key elements of our growth strategy include setting up new plants, acquiring new
customers and continuing to build our brand. As a result, we expect our operating expenses to increase in the
future. Although we had a profit for the period of ₹ 179.42 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018,
you should not rely upon our recent revenue growth, or such profit, as indicative of our future performance.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to sustain such profitability. If we are ultimately unable to generate
sufficient revenue to meet our financial targets, become profitable and have sustainable positive cash flows,
investors could lose their investment. In addition, if we record losses in the future, we may be unable to meet
our financial obligations, we may breach the terms of our financial instruments and our lenders could
accelerate amounts due under our existing indebtedness. The occurrence of such events could adversely affect
our business and financial condition.

4. Our operations are concentrated in east India, and any adverse development affecting this region could
have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We currently operate three manufacturing plants, our Risda, Panagarh and Bhabua Manufacturing Plants. We
are also in the process of setting up a cement grinding plant at Kalinganagar, Odisha. Consequently, our
business and operations are concentrated in east India. The manufacture and sale of cement in India is largely
regional in nature on account of significant transport costs involved, which limits our ability to sell our
products in markets that are far from our plants. Since our manufacturing plants are located in east India, our
business and results of operations are dependent on the economic growth in this region. The level of economic
activity is influenced by a number of factors, including political and regulatory policy, funding received for
housing and infrastructure projects from the central and state governments and climatic conditions such as
monsoon and drought. Any slowdown in the Indian economy, and in particular in the demand for housing
and infrastructure could adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, any significant
social, political or economic disruption, or natural calamities or civil disruptions in this region, or changes in
the policies of the state or local governments of this region or the Government of India, could disrupt our
business operations, require us to incur significant expenditure and change our business strategies. The
occurrence of, or our inability to effectively respond to any such event, could have an adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

5. A slowdown or shutdown in our manufacturing operations or under-utilization of our manufacturing

plants could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We conduct our operations through three manufacturing plants and where cement production is undertaken
using single line kilns and single line grinding units. Our business is dependent upon our ability to manage
our manufacturing plants and run them at certain utilization levels, which are subject to various operating
risks, including those beyond our control, such as the breakdown and failure of equipment, industrial
accidents, labour disputes or shortage of labour, severe weather conditions and natural disasters. Any
significant malfunction or breakdown of our machinery may entail significant repair and maintenance costs
and cause delays in our operations. Further, we produce all the clinker for our manufacturing operations at
our Risda Manufacturing Plant and any interruption at such plant could significantly affect our operations. If

18
 we are unable to repair malfunctioning machinery in a timely manner or at all, our operations may need to
be suspended until we procure machinery to replace the same. In addition, we may be required to carry out
planned shutdowns of our plants for maintenance, statutory inspections and testing, capacity expansion and
equipment upgrades. We may also face protests from local citizens at our existing plants or while setting up
new plants, which may delay or halt our operations.

Although we have not experienced any significant disruptions at our manufacturing plants in the past, we
cannot assure you that there will not be any disruptions in our operations in the future. Our inability to
effectively respond to such events and rectify any disruption, in a timely manner and at an acceptable cost,
could lead to the slowdown or shut-down of our operations or the under-utilization of our manufacturing
plants, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Further, in the event that there is an over supply of cement in the markets in which we operate, we may be
required to reduce production volumes and may not be able to realize the benefits of expanding our
manufacturing capacities.

In addition, we depend on domestic and international vendors to supply necessary equipment and services
that we require for our operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to obtain equipment
on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, or that our vendors will continue to enter into or honor their
commitments. Our inability to continue to obtain equipment in a timely manner, or at all, could adversely
affect our business and results of operations.

6. Our business is dependent upon our ability to mine sufficient limestone for our operations and our mining
leases contain onerous terms, which may expose us to unanticipated costs and liabilities.

We require limestone for our cement manufacturing operations, which we currently source from our Risda
Mining Unit. We have recently entered into a limestone mining lease in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. In addition,
we have obtained approvals for the mining plans submitted for two limestone mines in Nagaur, Rajasthan
and are awaiting execution of the mining leases. The lease period for our mines are usually 50 years. In terms
of the mining leases, our Company is required to, among others, indemnify the state governments against all
claims that may be made by any person in respect of any damage, injury or disturbance which may be caused
by the Company in exercise of its powers under the respective leases.

Mining rights are subject to compliance with certain conditions, and the central government and the state
governments have the power to take action with respect to mining rights, including imposing fines or
restrictions, revoking or varying the mining rights or changing the amount of royalties payable for mining
the quarries. Such royalties may be reviewed and increased by the government periodically. We cannot assure
you that the mining royalties will not be further increased in the future. For further details on the regulatory
framework governing the operation of limestone mines, see “Key Regulations and Policies of India -
Specific laws governing limestone mining operations” on page 148.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to satisfy all of the terms and conditions of the mining leases and
that our lessors will not terminate the mining leases for non-compliance. In the event that such termination
does occur, or we are unable to renew the mining leases, our results of operations will be adversely affected.

In addition, regulations governing mining activities have been a subject matter of increased scrutiny during
recent times and terms and conditions of our mining leases may become more stringent, and we cannot predict
with certainty the scope and extent of such changes, including their effect on our operations and the
requirement to incur significant additional amounts.

Although we believe that our mining rights are sufficient to meet current and projected production levels, if
our mining rights are revoked or not renewed upon expiration, or significant restrictions on the usage of the
rights are imposed, or applicable environmental standards are substantially increased, or royalties are
increased to significantly higher levels, our ability to operate our plants could be disrupted until alternative
limestone sources are located. We may also be required to purchase limestone at higher costs, which could
increase our overall cost of production and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

7. A shortage or non-availability of power, fuel or water may adversely affect our manufacturing operations

19
 and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our manufacturing operations require a significant amount and continuous supply of power, fuel and water
and any shortage or non-availability may adversely affect our operations. We source almost all of our energy
requirements for our Risda Manufacturing Plant from our captive power plant and waste heat recovery
system. If this captive power plant or waste heat recovery system are unable to supply the requisite amount
of electricity for any reason, our operations may be adversely affected. We will need to rely on the state
electricity board as an alternative source of energy, which may not be able to consistently meet our
requirements and, if for any reason electricity is not available, we may need to shut down our operations at
Risda Manufacturing Plant. Further, the cost of electricity purchased from the state electricity board could
be significantly higher, which could adversely affect our cost of production and profitability. We depend on
state electricity boards for our energy requirements at our other plants. Although we have diesel generators
to meet exigencies at our plants, we cannot assure you that our plants will be operational during power
failures. We source water for our operations from ground water through tube wells and borewells. Any failure
on our part to obtain alternate sources of power, fuel or water, in a timely fashion, and at an acceptable cost,
may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

8. If we are unable to source adequate amounts of raw materials and at acceptable cost, our business, results
of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Our operations depend on the availability of reasonably priced raw materials at the time and in the quantities
required by us. In addition to limestone, the principal raw materials that we require for our operations are
iron ore, gypsum, fly ash, slag, coal and pet coke. The price and timely availability of such raw materials
depend on several factors beyond our control, including overall economic conditions, production levels,
market demand and competition for such materials, production and transportation cost, duties and taxes and
trade restrictions. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018 and 2017, our cost of materials
consumed (net of change in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress) was ₹ 956.57 million, ₹
1,397.11 million, and ₹ 247.40 million, or expressed as a percentage of our revenue from operations (net of
excise duty expenses, if any) was 21.08%, 14.34% and 14.90%, respectively. While we have entered into
agreements for the purchase of fly ash which ranges for a period of one to five years, and coal which are for
a period of five years, we do not have any long-term contractual arrangements for the purchase of our other
raw materials. The absence of long-term contracts exposes us to volatility in the prices of raw materials that
we require and we may be unable to pass these costs onto our customers, which may reduce our profit
margins.

Further, in October 2017, the Supreme Court of India banned the use of pet coke in the states of Uttar Pradesh,
Haryana and Rajasthan. While such ban was subsequently relaxed for use of pet coke in the cement industry,
the Supreme Court directed the GoI to frame rules on the use of pet coke. We, therefore, cannot predict
whether such a ban on pet coke may be implemented in the future or the regions in which the ban would be
implemented. In the event the supply of pet coke is interrupted, we would be required to rely on more
expensive alternatives, including fuel oil, which may affect our results of operations.

We also face a risk that one or more of our existing suppliers may discontinue their supplies to us, and any
inability on our part to procure raw materials from alternate suppliers in a timely fashion, or on commercially
acceptable terms, may adversely affect our operations. In addition, although we currently produce all the
clinker required for our cement manufacturing operations, as we continue to expand our business and set up
additional manufacturing plants, we may be required to purchase clinker from the market, which may not be
available at commercially reasonable prices, or at all. Further, we typically rely on third-party transportation
providers to transport the raw materials to our manufacturing plants and we also require railway wagons for
the movement of raw materials and our products. If we are unable to obtain such wagons in a timely manner
or at all, or if third-party transportation providers are unable to render their services, our business and
operations may be adversely affected.

9. Deevee Commercials Limited, one of the members of our Promoter Group had, until recently, been
suspended from trading on the Calcutta Stock Exchange (“CSE”) on account of non-compliance with
listing requirements and has also been identified as a suspected shell company in a list issued by the
Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

Deevee Commercials Limited (“DCL”), one of the members of our Promoter Group had, in 2014, been
suspended from trading on the CSE on account of non-compliance with certain provisions of the listing

20
 agreement. DCL approached the CSE for revocation of the suspension in 2016, pursuant to which CSE sought
for certain documents and information in relation to compliances under the SEBI Listing Regulations, SEBI
Takeover Regulations and SEBI Insider Trading Regulations. Subsequently, pursuant to a letter dated August
28, 2018, CSE has revoked the suspension on trading in the shares of DCL, with effect from August 29, 2018.
However, we cannot assure you that DCL will continue to be able to comply with all applicable listing
requirements in the future, or that any such non-compliance will not have an adverse effect on the reputation
of our any of our Promoters and Promoter Group and consequently our reputation or prospects.

Further, pursuant to its letter dated June 9, 2017 to SEBI, the MCA identified 331 listed companies (which
included DCL) as suspected shell companies, for initiation of appropriate action as per relevant SEBI
regulations. Accordingly, an independent auditor was appointed by the CSE to undertake an audit on the
status of compliance by DCL with applicable regulatory requirements. Through a letter dated September 10,
2018, the CSE informed DCL that it has submitted its summary report with SEBI, along with the report of
such independent auditor (which report concluded that DCL has been found to have maintained the necessary
documents and compliances), and also advised DCL to approach the MCA, in line with SEBI’s
recommendation that companies on the list of suspected shell companies should approach MCA for redressal
of any grievances.

Accordingly, DCL has approached the MCA pursuant to its letter dated September 14, 2018 for removal of
its name from the list of suspected shell companies. We cannot assure you that the MCA will remove DCL’s
name from the list of suspected shell companies, or that no further regulatory action will be taken against
DCL. Any such regulatory action taken against DCL may have an adverse effect on the reputation of the
members of our promoter and promoter group and consequently our reputation and prospects of our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

10. We rely heavily on our existing brands and, specifically, the ‘Emami’ brand name, the dilution of which
could adversely affect our business.

Our brand and reputation serve in attracting customers to our products in preference over those of our
competitors. We use the trade name ‘Emami’ as well as the Emami logo, which are registered in the name
of Emami Limited, one of our Group Companies and members of our Promoter Group pursuant to an
agreement dated July 9, 2015 with Emami Limited. This agreement is valid for a period of five years with
effect from April 1, 2015, renewable by mutual consent and requires payment of an annual license fee of
0.5% of our Company’s profit after tax, or ₹ 1.00 million, whichever is higher, by our Company to Emami
Limited. If this agreement is terminated, or if we are unable to renew the agreement on commercially
acceptable terms, or at all, we will not be able to use the ‘Emami’ brand to sell our products.

We believe that continuing to develop awareness of our brand, through focused and consistent branding and
marketing initiatives, among retail and institutional customers, is important for our ability to increase our
sales volumes and our revenues, grow our existing market share and expand into new markets. We also
believe the ‘Emami’ brand commands strong brand recall in India due to its long presence in the Indian
market and the diversified businesses in which the group operates. Consequently, any decrease in product
quality due to reasons beyond our control, or allegations of product defects, even when false or unfounded,
could tarnish the image of our brand and may cause consumers to choose other products. Our reputation and
brands could also be affected by socially motivated groups, which could lead to a decline in our sales volume.
Further, the considerable expansion in the use of social media over recent years has compounded the impact
of negative publicity. Consequently, any adverse publicity involving the ‘Emami’ brand, our Company or
our products may impair our reputation, dilute the impact of our branding and marketing initiatives and
adversely affect our business.

11. Delays in the construction of new manufacturing plants and the expansion of our existing plants may
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are currently in the process of setting up a plant at Kalinganagar, Odisha and we expect this plant to
commence commercial operations by April 2019. In September 2018, we acquired a cement grinding unit in
Bhabua, Bihar and we are currently in the process of increasing its installed capacity, subject to the receipt
of necessary approvals. However, the construction or expansion of a cement manufacturing plant involves
various risks, including engineering, designing and construction of the plant, delays in leasing or acquiring
land and completion of the projects, inability to obtain adequate financing, cost overruns, labour disputes or
shortages, obtaining governmental, environmental and other regulatory approvals, and other significant

21
 challenges that may delay or prevent the successful operation of a plant. In particular, while we expect to
increase our installed capacity for production of cement up to 9.30 MMTPA by April 2019, this is subject to
the receipt of necessary approvals, some of which are either currently pending or we are yet to apply for. For
further details, see “-We are subject to extensive government regulation and if we fail to obtain, maintain
or renew our statutory and regulatory approvals required to operate our business, our business and results
of operations may be adversely affected”. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain necessary
approvals and registrations in a timely manner to be able to meet our installed capacity. If such risks were to
materialize, it could result in failure to meet our expected installed capacity of 9.30 MMTPA by April 2019,
our debt service obligations, lower or no returns on capital, erosion of capital, or a reduction in our revenues.
In addition, we may be unable to identify attractive locations for construction of new plants. We
commissioned a railway siding at our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant in September 2018, are in the process
of setting up a railway siding at our Risda Manufacturing Plant and intend to construct a siding at our Bhabua
Manufacturing Plant. Therefore, we may incur additional costs if we are unable to complete any construction
or expansion project on time or within budget, or if our new or existing plants do not operate at their designed
capacity or in a manner we anticipated. We cannot assure you that additional costs that we incur will not have
an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

12. We have significant planned capital expenditure, and such expenditure may not yield the benefits we
anticipate.

We are currently in the process of setting up a new plant in Kalinganagar, Odisha and expanding the capacity
of our Bhabua Manufacturing Plant and we expect to incur significant capital expenditure for such activities.
Our capital expenditure plans are subject to a number of variables, including possible cost overruns;
accidents, construction and development delays or defects; construction being affected by adverse weather
conditions; satisfactory and timely performance by construction contractors; receipt of any governmental or
regulatory approvals and permits; political risk; availability of financing on acceptable terms; and changes in
management’s views of the desirability of current plans, among others. We may also require additional
financing in order to expand and upgrade our existing plants as well as to construct new plants. However,
financing required for such investments may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, and we may
be restricted by the terms and conditions of our existing or future financing agreements. If we decide to raise
additional funds through the incurrence of debt, our interest obligations will increase, which could
significantly affect financial measures such as our earnings per share. If we decide to raise additional funds
through the issuance of equity, your ownership interest in our Company will be diluted. Our ability to finance
our capital expenditure plans is also subject to a number of risks, contingencies and other factors, some of
which are beyond our control, including borrowing or lending restrictions under applicable laws and general
economic and capital markets conditions. Further, we cannot assure you that our operations will be able to
generate cash flows sufficient to cover such costs. Any inability to obtain sufficient financing could result in
the delay, reduction or abandoning of our development, expansion and acquisition plans. As a result, if
adequate capital is not available, there could be an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may differ from our estimates as a result of,
among other things, unforeseen delays or cost overruns, unanticipated expenses, regulatory changes,
engineering design changes, weather-related delays and technological changes. In addition, we are yet to
order some of the machinery that we intend to install at our Manufacturing Plants, which could also lead to
costs in addition to our current estimates. Further, some of our debt must be continuously rated by credit
rating agencies. Any downgrading of our credit ratings for existing debt may impact the cost of our existing
debt, impact our ability to raise additional financing and result in higher interest rates for any debt raised by
us in the future.

Consequently, we cannot assure you that any expansion or improvement of our existing plants or construction
of new plants, will be completed as planned or on schedule, or that we will achieve our increased planned
output capacity or operational efficiency. If we experience significant delays in the implementation of our
expansion plans or if there are significant cost overruns, the overall benefit of such plans to our revenues and
profitability may decline. If the expenditure that we incur does not produce anticipated or desired results, our
profitability and financial condition will be adversely affected.

13. Our inability to protect or use our intellectual property rights may adversely affect our business.

We consider our brand and intellectual property to be one of our most valuable assets and we have certain
trademarks registered in India. We also rely on unpatented proprietary know-how, continuing technological

22
 innovation and other trade secrets to develop and maintain our competitive position. While we have applied
for trademark registration for certain of the brands under which we sell our products, some of which are
currently pending, we do not currently have such protection for some of our other brand names. In particular,
while we market all of our products under the “Emami Double Bull” brand, our applications for registration
of a trademark over “Double Bull”, “PROCEM” and “Emami Double Bull LABH” in Class 19, which
pertains to cement and building materials, has been objected to for registration on grounds of being similar
to an already registered trademark. Further, trademarks over “Double Bull” in Class 19 has already been
registered in the name of another entity, and accordingly, we cannot assure you that such application shall
succeed and that we will be able to continue using this trademark. In addition, the applications for the
trademarks “Emami DOUBLE Bull” and “Emami Double Bull” have been made in the name of Emami
Limited and such applications have not been assigned to our Company yet. Further, we have applied for and
are yet to receive registration for our brands, “Emami Double Bull MASTER” which is the brand which
under which we sell our premium PPC offering, “TECH EXPRESS” and “Utkrisht”. If we fail to receive the
requisite registration in respect of our unregistered trademarks, we may have to discontinue using these
marks. This may affect our brand value and consequently our business and financial condition.

The registrations provided to our trademarks are for a limited duration of 10 years, and are required to be
renewed from time to time. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain them in a timely manner or
at all. We may not be able to prevent infringement of our trademarks and a passing off action may not provide
sufficient protection until such time that this registration is granted.

The measures we take to protect our intellectual property include relying on Indian laws and initiating legal
proceedings, which may not be adequate to prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third
parties. We may also incur significant costs in connection with legal actions relating to such rights.
Notwithstanding the precautions we take to protect our intellectual property rights, it is possible that third
parties may copy or otherwise infringe on our rights, which may have an adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition. Our failure to detect counterfeiting or imitation of our own
brand products and trademarks and to mitigate the adverse impact from such counterfeiting and imitation
could result in a decrease in our sales volume or market share.

While we take care to ensure that we comply with the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot
determine with certainty whether we are infringing any existing third-party intellectual property rights, which
may force us to alter our offerings. We may also be susceptible to claims from third parties asserting
infringement and other related claims. If similar claims are raised in the future, these claims could result in
costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, subject us to significant liabilities and require
us to enter into potentially expensive royalty or licensing agreements or to cease certain offerings. Any of the
foregoing could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

14. Our business is subject to seasonal variations and cyclicality that could result in fluctuations in our results
of operations.

Our business is subject to seasonal variations on account of lower demand for building materials during the
monsoon season. Consequently, our revenues recorded during the months of June to September could be
lower compared to other periods. During the monsoons, construction activity is curtailed and we may
continue to incur operating expenses, but our revenue from the sale of our products may be delayed or
reduced. As a result of such fluctuations, our sales and results of operations may vary by fiscal quarter, and
the sales and results of operations of any given fiscal quarter may not be relied upon as indicators of the sales
or results of operations of other fiscal quarters or of our future performance.

In addition, a majority of our revenue is from customers who are in industries and businesses that are cyclical
in nature and subject to changes in general economic conditions. For example, many of our customers operate
in the construction industry. The level of construction activity in local and national markets is inherently
cyclical, being influenced by a wide variety of factors including global and national economic circumstances,
governments’ ability to fund infrastructure projects, consumer sentiment and other factors beyond our
control. As a result, any adverse developments in such industries could adversely affect our business and
results of operations.

15. We have entered into related party transactions in the past and may continue to do so in the future, which
may potentially involve conflicts of interest with the Shareholders.

23
 We have entered into various transactions with our related parties which include, among others, availing
unsecured loans from certain of our Promoters, Bhanu Vyapaar, Diwakar Viniyog and Suntrack Commerce.
Further, we use the trade name ‘Emami’ as well as the Emami logo, which are registered in the name of
Emami Limited, one of our Group Companies and members of our Promoter Group pursuant to an agreement
dated July 9, 2015 with Emami Limited and are required to pay an annual license fee of 0.5% of our
Company’s profit after tax, or ₹ 1.00 million, whichever is higher. While we believe that all such transactions
have been conducted on an arm’s length basis and contain commercially reasonable terms, we cannot assure
you that we could not have achieved more favorable terms had such transactions been entered into with
unrelated parties. It is likely that we may enter into related party transactions in the future. For details on our
related party transactions, see “Related Party Transactions” on page 194.We cannot assure you that such
transactions, individually or in the aggregate, even if entered into at arm’s length terms, will always be in the
best interests of our shareholders and will not have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition.

16. Increases in interest rates or fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may materially impact our
results of operations.

As our business is capital intensive, we finance a majority of our capital expenditure through debt financing.
All of the debt facilities we have currently availed from banks and financial institutions carry floating rates
of interest thereby exposing us to interest rate risk. Any increase in interest rates would increase our interest
expense, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our financial results and business prospects.
Additionally, as of August 31, 2018, we had outstanding external commercial borrowings and a foreign
currency non-repatriable loan amounting to USD 34.20 million, and are accordingly exposed to foreign
exchange risks as such borrowings and interest thereon are repayable in US Dollar. While we have entered
into hedging agreements for the outstanding external commercial borrowings and foreign currency non-
repatriable loan, we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into any hedging or swap arrangements
against interest rate or foreign currency fluctuation related risks in the future on commercially acceptable
terms, or at all, or that any such arrangements would successfully protect us from losses due to such
fluctuations.

17. If we pursue strategic acquisitions, we may not be able to successfully consummate favourable
transactions or successfully integrate acquired businesses, which in turn could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

From time to time, we may evaluate potential acquisitions that would further our strategic objectives. For
example, in September 2018, we acquired a cement grinding unit in Bhabua, Bihar. However, we may not
be able to identify suitable companies or assets, consummate a transaction on terms that are favourable to us,
or achieve expected returns and other benefits as a result of integration challenges or anti-monopoly
regulations. Companies or operations acquired or created by us may not be profitable or may not achieve
sales levels and profitability that justify the investments made and we may be required to incur or assume
debt or additional expenses beyond our forecasts, or assume contingent liabilities, as part of any acquisition.
Our strategic acquisition activities may entail financial and operational risks, including diversion of
management attention from its existing core businesses, difficulty in integrating or separating personnel and
financial and other systems, and negative impacts on existing business relationships with suppliers and
customers. Future acquisitions could also result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the
incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and increased operating expenses, all of which could adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

18. Our mining operations are subject to operational hazards, the occurrence of which may adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Mining operations are subject to hazards and risks normally associated with the exploration, development
and production of natural resources, any of which could disrupt our operations or cause damage to persons
or property when safety and precautionary measures are breached by individuals. Although rare, the
occurrence of accidents, such as explosions, fires, transportation interruptions and inclement weather could
adversely affect our operations by disrupting our ability to extract limestone from the mines we operate or
exposing us to significant liability.
Further, mining operations are also subject to hazards and risks relating to adverse environmental
consequences such as those resulting from tailings and sludge disposal, effluent management and disposal of
mineralized waste water and rehabilitation of land disturbed during mining processes. In addition,

24
 environmental awareness throughout the world, including in India and other emerging markets, has grown
significantly in recent years, and opposition to mining operations have also increased due to the perceived
negative impact they have on the environment. Public protests over our mining operations could cause
operations to slow down and damage our reputation. Public protest could also affect our ability to obtain
necessary licenses to expand existing facilities or establish new operations. Consequently, negative
environmental consequences as well as public opposition to our current or planned mining operations could
have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

19. We are subject to extensive government regulation and if we fail to obtain, maintain or renew our statutory
and regulatory approvals required to operate our business, our business and results of operations may be
adversely affected.

Our operations are subject to extensive government regulation and we are required to obtain and maintain a
number of statutory and regulatory approvals under central, state and local government laws for carrying out
our business, in particular for our manufacturing and mining operations.

For our manufacturing and mining operations, we are required to obtain various environment related
approvals, both at the under-construction and operational stage. Prior to commencement of the construction
of our manufacturing and mining units, we are required to obtain environmental clearances for establishment
of our manufacturing and mining units from the MoEFCC and consents to establish from the respective state
pollution control boards. Further, in the event of expansion or enhancement of capacity of our existing
manufacturing plants and mining units, as applicable, we are also required to seek environmental clearance
from the relevant authority. Further, in order to undertake our manufacturing and mining operations, we are
required to maintain a consent to operate from the respective state pollution control boards, authorization to
handle hazardous wastes and no-objection certificates for drawing ground water to meet the water
requirements of our manufacturing and mining units.

While the environmental clearances and consents to establish are required to be obtained only once, the
consents to operate granted by the relevant state pollution control boards are required to be renewed every
two to three years. Presently, the validity of the consents to operate required for the purposes of undertaking
our manufacturing and mining operations range between January 31, 2019 to December 31, 2021. Further,
the authorization to handle hazardous wastes at our Risda Manufacturing Plant and Panagarh Manufacturing
Plant is valid till December 23, 2021 and November 30, 2022 respectively and the no-objection certificate for
drawing ground water at our Risda Manufacturing Plant is valid till March 15, 2020.

In addition, we are also required to maintain approvals for storage of petroleum and explosives in our
manufacturing and mining units which are valid for five years, use of boilers in our manufacturing plants
which are valid for one year and setting up of railway siding for connecting our manufacturing plants to a
railway line. Further, in respect of the cement manufactured by us, we are typically required to seek a
registration under the BIS Act to use the standard mark and adhere to the quality requirements set out in the
BIS Act which needs to be renewed on an annual basis. For further details of laws applicable to our Company
and approvals relating to our business and operations, see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” and
“Government and Other Approvals” on page 338. If we do not receive such approvals or are not able to
renew the approvals in a timely manner, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our Company has made applications for increasing the approval for cement production at the Panagarh
Manufacturing Unit from 2.00 MMTPA to 2.50 MMTPA and for production of power at the waste heat
recovery system at the Risda Manufacturing Plant from 9.00 MW to 15.00 MW. In addition, our Company
has recently acquired the Bhabua Manufacturing Plant in September 2018 from Eco Cements and has filed
applications for the purposes of transferring certain key approvals from Eco Cements to our Company,
including an application for obtaining a consent to operate. However, we are yet to make applications for
transferring from Eco Cement and obtaining certain key approvals which include environmental clearance,
no objection certificates for drawing ground water and authorization to handle hazardous wastes. Further, in
connection with our Kalinganagar Manufacturing Plant, which is presently under-construction, we have made
applications for obtaining certain key approvals. In relation to our Risda Mining Unit, we have made an
application for increasing the approval for limestone mining from 3.17 MMTPA to 5.50 MMTPA. For further
details of pending key approvals required for operating our Manufacturing Plants and Mining Units, see
“Government and Other Approvals - Manufacturing Plants – Pending Key Approvals” and “Government
and Other Approvals – Mining Units - Pending Key Approvals” on page 340 and 341, respectively.

25
 A majority of these approvals are subject to numerous conditions and we cannot assure you that these would
not be suspended or revoked in the event of non-compliance or alleged noncompliance with any terms or
conditions thereof, or pursuant to any regulatory action. If there is any failure by us to comply with the
applicable regulations or if the regulations governing our business are amended, we may incur increased
costs, be subject to penalties, have our approvals and permits revoked or suffer a disruption in our operations,
any of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

20. We are required to comply with various safety, health and environmental laws and other applicable
regulations and any non-compliance could expose us to the risk of liabilities, loss of revenue and increased
expenses.

We are subject to a broad range of safety, health, environmental, labour, workplace and related laws and
regulations in the regions in which we operate, which impose controls on the transportation and storage of
raw materials, noise emissions, air and water pollution, on the storage, handling, discharge and disposal of
chemicals, employee exposure to hazardous substances and other aspects of our operations. For example,
there is a limit on the amount of pollutant discharge that our manufacturing plants and mining units may
release into the air and water. We generate a considerable amount of hazardous and bio-medical waste, solid
waste, plastic waste and fugitive dust, which are released as effluents as a result of our manufacturing
processes. While we intend to comply with all applicable laws and terms and conditions of environment
related approvals and permits that we are subject to, the methods undertaken by us may be insufficient. We
could be subject to substantial civil and criminal liability and other regulatory consequences in the event that
any environmental hazards are found at the site of any of our manufacturing plants and mining units, or if
the operation of any of our manufacturing plants and mining units results in contamination of the
environment. We may be the subject of public interest litigation in India relating to allegations of
environmental pollution by our manufacturing plants and mining units, as well as in cases having potential
criminal and civil liability filed by state pollution control authorities. If such cases are determined against us,
we may be required to suspend our operations, be liable to conduct remedial action or pay damages for the
restoration of any environmental degradation and our results of operations may be adversely affected.

Further, any accidents at our manufacturing plants and mining units may result in personal injury or loss of
life of our employees, contract laborers or other people, substantial damage to or destruction of property and
equipment resulting in the suspension of operations. Any of the foregoing could subject us to litigation, which
may increase our expenses in the event we are found liable, and could adversely affect our reputation.
Additionally, the government or the relevant regulatory bodies may revoke our licenses, require us to shut
down our manufacturing plants and mining units, which in turn could lead to product shortages that delay or
prevent us from fulfilling our obligations to customers. Further, events like these could also affect our
reputation with suppliers, customers, regulators, employees and the public, which could in turn affect our
financial condition and business performance. While we maintain general insurance against these liabilities,
insurance proceeds may not be adequate to fully cover the substantial liabilities, lost revenues or increased
expenses that we might incur.

The adoption of stricter health and safety laws and regulations, stricter interpretations of existing laws,
increased governmental enforcement of laws or other developments in the future may require that we make
additional capital expenditures, incur additional expenses or take other actions in order to remain compliant
and maintain our current operations. Complying with, and changes in, these laws and regulations or terms of
approval may increase our compliance costs and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of
operations and financial condition.

We are also subject to the laws and regulations governing relationships with employees in such areas as
minimum wage and maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and termination of
employees, contract labour and work permits. There is a risk that we may inadvertently fail to comply with
such regulations, which could lead to enforced shutdowns and other sanctions imposed by the relevant
authorities, as well as the withholding or delay in receipt of regulatory approvals for our new products. We
cannot assure you that we will not be involved in future litigation or other proceedings, or be held liable in
any litigation or proceedings including in relation to safety, health and environmental matters, the costs of
which may be significant. For details on the regulations and policies applicable to our Company, see “Key
Regulations and Policies in India” on page 147.

21. Our inability to expand or effectively manage our distribution network may have an adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

26
 We have set up an extensive sales and distribution network for the sale of our products and we also make
sales to certain institutional customers directly. We serve our retail clients through a distribution network that
comprised over 2,200 dealers and over 5,000 retailers, as of June 30, 2018. In addition, we have set up 110
warehouses cum sales depots, as of June 30, 2018. Our ability to expand and grow our product reach
significantly depends on the reach and effective management of our distribution network. We continuously
seek to increase the penetration of our products by appointing new dealers targeted at different customer
groups and geographies. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully identify or
appoint new dealers or effectively manage our existing distribution network. If the terms offered to such
dealers by our competitors are more favourable than those offered by us, dealers may decline to distribute
our products and terminate their arrangements with us. We may be unable to appoint replacement dealers in
a timely fashion, or at all, which may reduce our sales volumes and adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Further, our competitors may have exclusive arrangements with certain dealers who may be unable to stock
and distribute our products, which may limit our ability to expand our distribution network. In addition,
failure to provide dealers with sufficient inventories of our products may result in a reduction in the sales of
our products. If our dealers fail to distribute our products in a timely manner, or adhere to the terms of the
distribution agreements, or if our distribution agreements are terminated, our business, results of operations
and financial condition may be adversely affected.

22. We typically do not have long-term agreements with our customers, which could adversely affect our
business and results of operations.

We distribute and sell our cement products to retail and institutional customers, with whom we typically do
not have any long-term contracts. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018 and 2017, sales
to retail customers accounted for 63.19%, 61.00% and 66.50% of our total cement sales, respectively, while
sales to institutional customers accounted for 36.81%, 39.00% and 33.50% of our total cement sales,
respectively. In the absence of long-term agreements, we cannot assure you that our existing customers will
continue to purchase our products. The orders placed by our customers are dependent on factors such as
customer satisfaction in terms of consistency of supply, quality and the price of our products in comparison
to those of our competitors. Consequently, any change in the buying pattern of our customers can adversely
affect our business and results of operations.

23. Our inability to effectively manage our growth could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

We have recently commenced our commercial operations and experienced considerable growth over the past
fiscal. Our total income grew from ₹ 1,896.78 million for Fiscal 2017 to ₹ 10,270.33 million for Fiscal 2018,
while our loss for the period grew from ₹ 380.54 million for Fiscal 2017 to ₹ 785.68 million for Fiscal 2018.
We cannot assure you that our growth strategy will be successful or that we will be able to continue to grow
further, or at the same rate. With a view to expand our geographic presence in India, we have recently entered
into a limestone mining lease in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh and are in the process of entering into limestone
mining leases in Nagaur, Rajasthan. However, we have no prior experience in operating in these regions.

Our inability to manage our expansion effectively and execute our growth strategy in a timely manner, or
within budget estimates or our inability to meet the expectations of our customers and other stakeholders
could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our future
prospects will depend on our ability to grow our business and operations, which could be affected by many
factors, including general political and economic conditions in India, government policies or strategies in
respect of specific industries, prevailing interest rates, price of equipment and raw materials, energy supply
and currency exchange rates.

In order to manage our growth effectively, we must implement, upgrade and improve our operational
systems, procedures and internal controls on a timely basis. If we fail to implement these systems, procedures
and controls on a timely basis, or if there are weaknesses in our internal controls that would result in
inconsistent internal standard operating procedures, we may not be able to meet our customers’ needs, hire
and retain new employees or operate our business effectively. Moreover, our ability to sustain our rate of
growth depends significantly upon our ability to select and retain key personnel, maintaining effective risk
management policies and training managerial personnel to address emerging challenges. We cannot assure

27
 you that our existing or future management, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls will
be adequate to support future operations, or establish or develop business relationships beneficial to future
operations. Failure to manage growth effectively could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

24. The Indian cement market in general, and the East Indian cement market in particular, is highly
competitive and our inability to compete effectively may adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

The cement industry in India is highly fragmented and competitive. We face competition from domestic
cement companies which operate in the Indian market, as well as companies that operate as joint ventures
with international cement companies. Some of our competitors are larger than we are, are more diversified,
with operations across India, have greater financial resources than we do, have access to a cheaper cost of
capital and may be able to produce cement more efficiently or to invest larger amounts of capital into their
businesses. In addition, although we depend on the strength of the “Emami” brand to sell our products, such
brand is relatively new in the cement industry and we may experience difficulties in competing against brands
that are well established. Our business could be adversely affected if we are unable to compete with our
competitors and sell cement at comparable prices. For example, if any of our current or future competitors
develop more efficient manufacturing facilities, enabling them to produce cement and clinker at a
significantly lower cost and sell at lower prices than us, we may be required to lower the prices we charge
for our products and our business and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Further, the Indian cement industry has seen witnessed consolidation among the top cement manufacturers in
the past. In the event such instances arise in the future, we expect that we will face greater competition, which
may lead to lower prices and margins and adversely affect our results of operations. Current and future
competitors may also introduce new and more competitive products and supporting services, make strategic
acquisitions or establish co-operative relationships among themselves or with third parties, including dealers
of our products, thereby increasing their ability to address the needs of our target customers. If we cannot
compete in pricing, provide competitive products or services or expand into new markets, this could have an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In 2016, pursuant to investigations, the Competition Commission of India (“CCI”) imposed significant
penalties on certain companies operating in the cement industry and the Cement Manufacturers’ Association,
for violation of the anti-cartel provisions of the Competition Act, 2002, through fixing of cement prices and
controlling production and supply of cement in the market. In the event that the cement industry and players
operating in this industry become subject to further regulatory actions, it may have an adverse effect on the
industry as a whole and may negatively impact our reputation, business operations, prospects and financial
condition.

25. The limestone reserve data in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are only estimates and our actual
production with respect to our reserves may differ from such estimates.

We entered into a mining lease for an area measuring 395.05 hectares located in Kukurdih and Risda villages
district Baloda Bazar - Bhatapara in the state of Chhattisgarh. We commenced mining at this area in June
2016, and extracted 0.99 MMT and 3.17 MMT of limestone in Fiscals 2017 and 2018, respectively. During
the five months ended August 31, 2018, we extracted 1.82 MMT of limestone from such area. We have
presented the limestone reserves in this area in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus pursuant to an approved
mining plan prepared by Sripad Pujar and B.V.R. Achar dated July 2016, based on a report prepared by
Synergy Geotech Private Limited under the United Nations Framework Classification in August 2014 and
we have not conducted any reserve analysis thereafter. We have recently engaged a mining expert to
determine the current reserves at such area.

In addition, we have entered into a limestone mining lease for an area in Tangeda village of district Guntur
in the state of Andhra Pradesh with the state government. We have presented the limestone reserves in this
area in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus subsequent to drilling and analysis, under the United Nations
Framework Classification, based on a mining plan prepared by Global Environment and Mining Services, as
of September 2014 which was based on a report prepared by Synergy Geotech Private Limited in August
2013, which plan was approved by the Indian Bureau of Mines in October 2014.

Further, our Company participated in an open auction and was issued letters of intent by the state government

28
 of Rajasthan for two limestone blocks. The first letter of intent was issued on November 2, 2016 and relates
to a mining area located in the Deh and Sarasani villages of district Nagaur in the state of Rajasthan. We have
presented the limestone reserves in this area in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus pursuant to a mining plan
prepared by Shailendra Singh Bist on behalf of Udaipur Min-Tech Private Limited. The mining plan was
based on a report prepared by the state government of Rajasthan and was approved by the Indian Bureau of
Mines, Government of India in April 2017. The second letter of intent was issued on April 13, 2017 and
relates to a mining area located in Deh village of district Nagaur in the state of Rajasthan. We have presented
the limestone reserves in this area in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus pursuant to a mining plan prepared
by S.K. Soni, which plan was approved by the Indian Bureau of Mines, Government of India in August 2017.

You should note that the limestone reserve data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are only
estimates and our Company’s actual production and expenditure with respect to its reserves may differ from
such estimates. There are several uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of our limestone reserves,
including many factors beyond our control. In general, reserve estimates are generally imprecise and are
based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as geological and geophysical characteristics
of the reserves, historical production performance from the properties, quality of the limestone and the
percentage of limestone ultimately recoverable, the quality and quantity of technical and economic data,
extensive engineering judgments, the assumed effects of regulation by government agencies including the
issuance of required permits, and taxes, including royalties, and other payments to governmental agencies,
assumptions concerning, the timing for the development of the reserves, and assumptions concerning
equipment and productivity, and future operating costs. Any decline in the price of limestone, increase in
mining costs, decrease in recovery rates or changes in laws or regulations could result in a decrease in the
tonnage that may be freely extracted from the mines. Therefore, actual limestone reserves may vary
significantly from such estimates and we cannot assure you that these estimates would not be materially
different from estimates prepared in accordance with another recognized international method or norm.
Further, we may not develop any mines in Andhra Pradesh or Rajasthan.

26. If we do not continue to invest in new technologies and equipment, our technologies and equipment may
become obsolete and our cost of production may increase relative to our competitors, which would have
an adverse effect on our ability to compete, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our profitability and competitiveness are in large part dependent on our ability to maintain a low cost of
production. Changes in technology and high costs of raw materials may make newer generation
manufacturing equipment more competitive than ours or may require us to make additional capital
expenditures to upgrade our facilities. We need to continue to invest in new and more advanced technologies
and equipment to enable us to respond to emerging industry standards and practices in a cost-effective and
timely manner that is competitive with other cement manufacturing companies and other methods of
manufacturing. If we are unable to adapt in a timely manner to changing market conditions, customer
requirements or technological changes, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected.

27. Failures or delays in the acquisition or leasing of land or an inability to acquire or lease such land at
acceptable costs or on commercially reasonable terms may adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

We require substantial amount of land for the purposes of operating our manufacturing plants. All but one of
our manufacturing plants are located on premises which have been leased from governmental authorities. In
the event we intend to expand the capacity of our manufacturing plants and require additional land for such
purposes, we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify or acquire adequate land either on a freehold
or leasehold basis, or that land acquisitions will be completed in a timely manner, at acceptable costs and/or
on commercially reasonable terms, without opposition or relocation and resettlement costs, or at all.

The cost of acquiring land on a freehold or leasehold basis for our manufacturing plants may be higher than
we estimated and is subject to a number of factors, including the type of land being acquired, market prices,
the level of economic development in the area where the land is located and government regulations
pertaining to the price of land, among others.

In addition, the public may oppose the acquisition or lease of land due to the perceived negative impact it
may have on surrounding communities, tribes or the environment. We may face significant opposition to the
construction of our manufacturing plants from local communities, tribes, non-government organizations and
other parties. Even if we are able to overcome any such opposition, we may be subject to significant expenses

29
 arising from the relocation and resettlement of persons affected by our projects. Such opposition or
circumstances may be beyond our control. If we are unable to acquire the required amount of land for our
manufacturing plants, the viability and efficiency of such projects may be affected. In addition, any inability
to complete the acquisition of the necessary land in a timely manner may cause construction delays. Should
any such event happen, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and
adversely affected.

28. Majority of our operations are conducted on leased premises. Our inability to seek renewal or extension
of such leases may adversely affect our operations.

Majority of our business operations are conducted on premises leased or sub-leased from third parties
including our Registered Office, manufacturing plants, regional marketing offices and warehouses. Upon
expiration of the relevant agreements for each such premise, we will be required to negotiate the terms and
conditions on which the lease agreements may be renewed.

In particular, our Registered Office is located on a premises sub-leased from a third party and such sub-lease
is due to expire on November 14, 2019 unless renewed or extended upon mutual consent, which, in terms of
the agreement, may be extended twice, each for a period of 37 months, and subject to escalation of rent,
amenities and fit-out charges at the rate of 15% for each such extension or renewal. If the original lessor of
such premises does not renew the agreement under which we occupy the premises or renews such agreement
on terms and conditions that are non-favourable to us, we may suffer a disruption in its operations which
could have an adverse effect on our business and operations.

In addition, certain of our properties, including those on which our Risda and Panagarh Manufacturing Plants
are located have been leased from governmental authorities, being the Chhattisgarh State Industrial
Development Corporation and WBIDC. The terms of such lease agreements include certain restrictive
covenants, including in relation to promoters holding a minimum of 51% shareholding in the Company and
promoter directors holding majority on the Board, the requirement for prior written consent for any proposed
change in shareholding of the Company or any action for demerger, merger, amalgamation, or acquisition of
the Company.

Our lease agreements may be terminated for various reasons, including those beyond our control. If we, our
current or future landlords terminate our lease agreements, we may have to relocate to alternative premises
or shut down our operations at such site. The relocation of any part of our operations may cause disruptions
to our business and may require significant expenditure. We cannot assure you that in such a case, we will be
able to find suitable premises on commercially viable terms, in a timely manner, or at all, and we may have
to pay higher rent or incur additional expenses.

29. Our inability to accurately forecast demand or price for our products and manage our inventory may have
an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business depends on our estimate of the demand for our products from customers. If we underestimate
demand or have inadequate capacity due to which we are unable to meet the demand for our products, we
may manufacture fewer quantities of products than required, which could result in the loss of business. While
we forecast the demand and price for our products and accordingly plan our production volumes, any error
in our forecast could result in a reduction in our profit margins and surplus stock, which may result in
additional storage cost and such surplus stock may not be sold in a timely manner, or at all. If we overestimate
demand, we may incur costs to build capacity or purchased more raw materials and manufacture more
products than required. Our inability to accurately forecast demand for our products and manage our
inventory may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

30. We require significant capital to fund our capital expenditure and working capital requirements and if we
are unable to raise additional capital, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows could be adversely affected.

We may continue to incur significant expenditure in maintaining and growing our existing infrastructure and
we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient capital resources for our current operations or any future
expansion plans that we may have. Additionally, we need a significant amount of working capital for
activities including purchase of raw materials, for our limestone mining operations as well as for the purchase
of packing materials for our cement products. While we expect our cash on hand and cash flow from

30
 operations to be adequate to fund our existing commitments, our ability to incur any future borrowings is
dependent upon the success of our operations. Our inability to obtain sufficient financing at reasonable costs
and on acceptable terms could adversely affect our ability to complete expansion plans. If we are unable to
manage our working capital requirements, our business, results of operations and financial condition could
be adversely affected.

Our ability to arrange financing and the costs of capital of such financing are dependent on numerous factors,
including general economic and capital market conditions, credit availability from banks, investor
confidence, the continued success of our operations and other laws that are conducive to our raising capital
in this manner. Any unfavourable change to terms of borrowings may adversely affect our cash flows, results
of operations and financial conditions. If we decide to meet our capital requirements through debt financing,
we may be subject to certain restrictive covenants. If we are unable to raise adequate capital in a timely
manner and on acceptable terms, or at all, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows could be adversely affected.

31. Our inability to meet our obligations, including financial and other covenants under our debt financing
arrangements could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.

As of August 31, 2018, we had a total outstanding indebtedness of ₹ 30,440.46 million (including outstanding
amounts of (i) external commercial borrowings of USD 7.06 million converted into ₹ 435.20 million based
on the hedged rate of ₹ 61.60 and (ii) foreign currency non-repatriable loan of USD 27.14 million converted
into ₹1,862.90 million based on the rate of ₹ 68.64). Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and
repay our outstanding borrowings will depend primarily on the cash generated by our business. Our financing
agreements contain certain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to undertake certain types of
transactions, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. We are required to
obtain prior approval from our lenders for, among other things:

 merger, consolidation, reorganization or amalgamation;

 effecting any changes in the constitutional documents of our Company;
 making a substantial change in the management or nature of business;
 change in management control or transfer of control;
 undertaking any new project, or augmenting, modernizing, expanding, diversifying or otherwise
changing the scope of the aforesaid project or acquiring fixed assets;
 approaching capital markets for mobilizing additional resources either in the form of debt or equity;
 creating any charges, lien or encumbrances over our assets or undertaking or any part thereof in favour
of any third party;
 effecting any change to the capital structure of the Company, including its shareholding pattern; and
 reduction in shareholding of our Promoters and Promoter Group below 51% of the total equity share
capital of our Company.

For further details, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 327.

While we have sought for consents from our lenders, where applicable, for the purposes of undertaking the
Offer, as on date, we are yet to receive consents from certain of our lenders, being Central Bank of India,
State Bank of India, United Bank of India and Vijaya Bank.

Under these agreements, certain lenders also require us to maintain certain financial ratios such as asset
coverage ratio, security cover ratio, interest coverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio. The restrictive
covenants in our financing agreements could also require us to utilize a significant portion of our cash flow
from operations to make interest payments, thereby reducing cash flow available for working capital, funding
capital expenditures or to generally grow our business. Certain of our financing agreements also contain
cross-default provisions which are triggered in the event of default by the Company under the respective
financing agreements. Our failure to meet our obligations under our financing agreements could have an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our future borrowings may also contain similar restrictive provisions. If we fail to meet our debt service
obligations or comply with covenants provided under the financing agreements, the relevant lenders could
declare us to be in default under the terms of our agreements or accelerate the maturity of our obligations.
We cannot assure you that, in the event of any such acceleration, we will have sufficient resources to repay

31
 the borrowings.

32. We may experience product liability claims that may adversely affect our business and reputation.

The products that we produce are subject to risks such as contamination, adulteration and product tampering
during their production, transportation or storage. We face inherent business risks of exposure to product
liability or recall claims in the event that our products fail to meet the required quality standards. Such risks
may be controlled, but not eliminated, by adherence to good manufacturing practices and finished product
testing. We face the risk of legal proceedings and product liability claims being brought by various entities,
including consumers, distributors and government agencies for various reasons including for defective or
contaminated products sold. If we experience a product recall or are a party to a product liability case, we
may incur considerable expense in litigation. Although we have not experienced such cases in the past, we
cannot assure you that we will not experience product recalls or product liability losses in the future. Further,
we currently do not have any product liability insurance. Any product recall, product liability claim or adverse
regulatory action may adversely affect our business and reputation.

33. There are outstanding legal proceedings involving our Company, our Promoters, Directors and Group
Companies. Any adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may adversely affect our reputation,
business operations, financial condition and results of operations.

In the ordinary course of business, our Company, our Promoters, Directors and Group Companies are
involved in certain legal proceedings, which are pending at varying levels of adjudication at different fora.
The summary of outstanding matters set out below includes details of criminal proceedings, tax proceedings,
statutory and regulatory actions and other material pending litigation involving our Company, our Promoters,
Directors and our Group Companies. According to the Materiality Policy, any outstanding litigation, other
than criminal proceedings, statutory or regulatory actions and taxation matters, is considered material if the
monetary amount of claim by or against the entity or person in any such pending matter is in excess of ₹
51.35 million or if an adverse outcome of any such litigation could materially and adversely affect our
business, prospects, operations, financial position or reputation.

We cannot assure you that these legal proceedings will be decided in favour of our Company, our Promoters,
Directors and Group Companies, and that no further liability will arise out of these proceedings. An adverse
outcome in any of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, may affect our reputation,
business operations, financial condition and results of operations.

34. Any failure of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business and our operations.

We have information technology systems that support our business processes, including product
development, sales, order processing, production, procurement, inventory management, quality control,
product costing, human resources, distribution and finance. These systems may be susceptible to outages due
to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, natural disasters, break-ins and similar events.
Effective response to such disruptions will require effort and diligence on the part of our third-party vendors
and employees to avoid any adverse effect to our information technology systems. In addition, our systems
and proprietary data stored electronically may be vulnerable to computer viruses, cybercrime, computer
hacking and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. If such unauthorized use of our systems were
to occur, data related to our product formulas, product development and other proprietary information could
be compromised. The occurrence of any such events could adversely affect our business, interrupt our
operations, subject us to increased operating costs and expose us to litigation.

Our future success will depend in part on our ability to respond to technological advances and emerging
industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. The development and implementation
of such technology entails technical and business risks. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
successfully implement new technologies or adapt our processing systems to customer requirements or
emerging industry standards. Changes in technology may make newer facilities or equipment more
competitive than ours or may require us to make additional capital expenditures to upgrade our facility. If we
are unable, for technical, financial or other reasons, to adapt in a timely manner to changing market
conditions, customer requirements or technological changes, our business and results of operations could be
adversely affected.

35. Land title in India can be uncertain and we may not be able to identify or correct defects or irregularities
in title to the land which we own or intend to acquire in connection with the development of our plants.

There is no central title registry for real property in India and the documentation of land records in India has
not been fully computerized. Property records in India are generally maintained at the state and district level
and in local languages, and are updated manually through physical records. Therefore, property records may
not be available online for inspection or updated in a timely manner, or may be illegible, untraceable,
incomplete or inaccurate in certain respects, or may have been kept in poor condition, which may impede title
investigations or our ability to rely on such property records.

Further, non-executed or improperly executed, unregistered or insufficiently stamped conveyance instruments

in a property’s chain of title, unregistered encumbrances in favour of third parties, rights of adverse
possessors, ownership claims of family members of prior owners or third parties, or other defects that a
purchaser may not be aware of can affect title to a property. As a result, potential disputes or claims over title
to the land on which our current plants are or the plants that we plan to construct may arise. Any defects in,
or irregularities of, title may result in loss of development or operating rights over land. In addition, title
insurance is not commercially available in India to guarantee title or development rights in respect of land.
The absence of title insurance, coupled with the difficulties in verifying title to land, may increase our
exposure to third party claims to the property. Further, the Government may exercise its rights of eminent
domain, or compulsory acquisition in respect of land on which our plants are or will be located. Any such
development may have an adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

33
36. Our Board of Directors have recently approved a scheme to demerge and transfer our solar power business
to one of our Group Companies and a member of our Promoter Group, which is subject to the approvals
of the creditors, lenders and other statutory and regulatory approvals and consents required pursuant to
contractual obligations. In case we are unable to obtain any of these approvals and consents and complete
such demerger, the Demerger Scheme may not be implemented in time, or at all.

Our Board and the board of directors of Emami Power one of our Group Companies and member of our
Promoter Group, pursuant to resolutions dated February 26, 2018 and March 5, 2018 have approved a scheme
of demerger under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013 pursuant to which the solar power
business of the Company, comprising a (i) 10 MW solar power plant located at Plot No. 95 and 96, Gujarat
Solar Park, 96, Santalpur, Patan, Gujarat, India and (ii) 3 MW solar power plant located at Perunali, Kamuthi,
Ramnad, Tamil Nadu, India, including all properties, assets, liabilities, duties, obligations, debts, tenancy
rights, approvals and registrations pertaining thereto, will be demerged and transferred to and will vest with
Emami Power as a going concern. Our Company and Emami Power have filed Demerger Scheme before the
National Company Law Tribunal, Kolkata (“NCLT”) in relation to the demerger on July 9, 2018. For further
details, see “History and Certain Corporate Matters - Details regarding acquisition of
business/undertakings, mergers, amalgamation, revaluation of assets, etc.” on page 156.

While the NCLT has pursuant to its order dated July 23, 2018, dispensed with the requirement for obtaining
approvals of the shareholders of our Company and Emami Power, the Demerger Scheme remains subject to
approval of the creditors of our Company and Emami Power, approval of the NCLT and certified copies of
the approval of the NCLT being filed with the RoC and compliance with any other conditions as may be
imposed by the NCLT. The Demerger Scheme will also require consents from certain governmental
authorities and third parties, including lenders. The terms of the Demerger Scheme may also be need to be
amended or modified by the creditors or the NCLT, and there can be no assurances that such amendments
will further the underlying objectives of the Proposed Demerger, or be in the best interest of our Company.
If we fail to obtain any of the consents, authorisations or approvals required to implement the Demerger
Scheme, the Demerger Scheme may not be implemented in time, or at all.

37. We are dependent on a number of key personnel, including our senior management, and the loss of, or
our inability to attract or retain such persons could adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.

Our performance depends largely on the efforts and abilities of our senior management and other key
personnel. We believe that the inputs and experience of our senior management and key personnel are
valuable for the development of business and operations and the strategic directions taken by our Company.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain these employees or find adequate replacements in a timely
manner, or at all. We may require a long period of time to hire and train replacement personnel when qualified
personnel terminate their employment with our Company. We may also be required to increase our levels of
employee compensation more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive in attracting employees that our
business requires. While we believe we have an experienced team, we may not be able to continuously attract
or retain such personnel, or retain them on acceptable terms, given the demand for such personnel.
Competition for qualified personnel with relevant industry expertise in India is intense and the loss of the
services of our key personnel may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

38. Our operations could be adversely affected by strikes, work stoppages or increased wage demands by our
employees or any other kind of disputes with our employees.

As of June 30, 2018, we employed 833 personnel across our operations. Although we have not experienced
any material labour unrest, we cannot assure you that we will not experience disruptions in work due to
disputes or other problems with our work force, which may adversely affect our ability to continue our
business operations. Any labour unrest directed against us, could directly or indirectly prevent or hinder our
normal operating activities, and, if not resolved in a timely manner, could lead to disruptions in our
operations. These actions are impossible for us to predict or control and any such event could adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, in order to retain flexibility and control costs, we appoint independent contractors who in turn
engage on-site contract labour for performance of certain of our operations. As of June 30, 2018, 1,295
contract labourers were deployed at our Manufacturing Plants. Although we do not engage these laborers

34
 directly, we may be held responsible for any wage payments to be made to such laborers in the event of
default by such independent contractor. Any requirement to fund their wage requirements may have an
adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. In the event of any non-compliance by
contractors with statutory requirements, legal proceedings may be initiated against us. Further, while the
Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 does not require us to retain contract labourers as our
employees, the Indian courts on a case by case basis have directed employers in the past to absorb contract
labourers as employees. Thus, any such order from a regulatory body or court may have an adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

39. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient or may not adequately protect us against all material
hazards, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We could be held liable for accidents that occur at our manufacturing plants or otherwise arise out of our
operations. In the event of personal injuries, fires or other accidents suffered by our employees or other
people, we could face claims alleging that we were negligent, provided inadequate supervision or be
otherwise liable for the injuries. The principal types of insurance policies maintained by us include, industrial
all risk policy which is a comprehensive policy providing coverage from, among others, fire, earthquakes,
breakdown of machinery, boiler explosion, theft and burglary, transit and loading risk, public liability
insurance policy and electronic equipment policy for our operational Manufacturing Plants and storage cum
erection insurance policy for our under construction Manufacturing Plants for providing coverage from any
material damage and third party liability during the under construction stage, fire and special perils policy
for our Registered Office, general personal accident policy for our employees, money insurance policy for
coverage for money in transit, marine cargo policy and marine sales turnover policy for raw materials, goods
and machinery in transit in air, road and rail, burglary standard policy for goods and equipment in the
Registered Office, motor vehicle insurance for our commercial vehicles. Further, we also maintain fidelity
group named policy covering certain employees who are responsible for the finance and accounts functions
in the Company. We do not, however, have any product liability insurance.

While we believe that the insurance coverage which we maintain would be reasonably adequate to cover the
normal risks associated with the operation of our business, we cannot assure you that any claim under the
insurance policies maintained by us will be honored fully, in part or on time, or that we have taken out
sufficient insurance to cover all our losses. In particular, we currently have pending claims amounting to ₹
14.09 million (to the extent ascertainable) for losses incurred at our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant on account
of natural calamities and claims which have not been monetarily ascertainable for losses incurred at our Risda
Manufacturing Plant on account of damage to machinery. In addition, our insurance coverage expires from
time to time. We apply for the renewal of our insurance coverage in the normal course of our business, but
we cannot assure you that such renewals will be granted in a timely manner, at acceptable cost or at all. To
the extent that we suffer loss or damage for which we did not obtain or maintain insurance, and which is not
covered by insurance, exceeds our insurance coverage or where our insurance claims are rejected, the loss
would have to be borne by us and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be
adversely affected.

40. The introduction of substitutes for cement in the markets in which we operate and the development of new
construction techniques could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

Materials such as plastic, aluminium, ceramics, glass, wood and steel can be used in construction to substitute
cement. In addition, other construction techniques, such as the use of dry wall, could decrease the demand
for cement, ready-mix concrete and mortars. In addition, new construction techniques and modern materials
may be introduced in the future. The use of substitutes for cement could cause a significant reduction in the
demand and prices for our cement products and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

41. Information relating to the historical capacity of our manufacturing plants included in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus is based on various assumptions and estimates and future production and capacity
may vary.

Information relating to the historical capacity of our Manufacturing Plants included in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus is based on various assumptions including those relating to availability of raw materials and
operational efficiencies. Actual manufacturing levels and rates may differ significantly from the

35
 manufacturing capacities. Undue reliance should therefore not be placed on our historical capacity
information for our existing plants included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

42. We have had negative net cash flows in the past and may continue to have negative cash flows in the
future.

The following table sets forth our cash flow for the periods indicated:
(₹ in million)
For the three months Fiscal
ended June 30, 2018 2018 2017 2016

For further details, see “Financial Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 196 and 301, respectively. Any negative cash flow in the
future could adversely affect our operations and financial conditions and the trading price of our Equity
Shares. We cannot assure you that our net cash flows will be positive in the future.

43. Reliance has been placed on declarations and affidavits furnished by certain of our Directors and
Promoters for details of their profiles included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

Certain of our Directors and Promoters have been unable to trace copies of certain documents pertaining to
their educational qualifications. Our Company has obtained confirmations from the relevant Directors and
Promoters, that they have made their best efforts to procure the relevant supporting documents for these
disclosures being made in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and in spite of such efforts, certain documents
were not traceable. Accordingly, reliance has been placed on declarations, undertakings and affidavits
furnished by these Directors and Promoters to disclose details of their educational qualifications in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus and we have not been able to independently verify these details. Therefore, we cannot
assure you that all information relating to the educational qualifications of certain of our Directors and
Promoters included in “Management” and “Promoter and Promoter Group” beginning on pages 160 and
176, respectively, are complete, true and accurate.

44. Certain of our Directors and certain Key Management Personnel interested in the Company's
performance in addition to their normal remuneration or benefits and reimbursement of expenses
incurred.

Certain of our Directors and key management personnel are interested in our Company, in addition to regular
remuneration or benefits and reimbursement of expenses, which includes amongst others, their shareholding
or the shareholding of their relatives in our Company. We cannot assure you that our Directors and our Key
Management Personnel will exercise their rights as shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our
Company. Further, Manish Goenka and Aditya Vardhan Agarwal are among the Promoters of our Company
and are interested in our Company’s performance in such capacity. For further details of interests of our
Directors and Key Management Personnel in our Company’s performance in addition to their normal
remuneration or benefits and reimbursement of expenses such interest, see “Management – Interest of
Directors” and “Management - Interest of Key Management Personnel and Senior Managerial Personnel”
on pages 166 and 174 respectively.

45. Our Company is entitled to certain benefits pursuant to the West Bengal State Support for Industries
Scheme, 2013 and any change in these tax benefits applicable to us may affect our results of operations.

We are eligible to receive certain incentives pursuant to the West Bengal State Support for Industries Scheme,
2013. Pursuant to this scheme, we receive incentives in the form of state tax refunds for sales made within
West Bengal at the rate of 80% of the value added tax and central sales tax (currently known as state goods
and services tax) paid in the previous year, subject to a certain threshold. These incentives are available to us
for a period of nine years from December 2017. However, we cannot assure you that we will continue to

36
 enjoy such tax benefits under the SSI Scheme in future. If such incentives expire, are terminated, or if the
relevant authorities reject our entitlement under the SSI Scheme, our Company may not be able to avail such
benefits.

46. We have certain contingent liabilities that have not been provided for in our financial statements, which,
if they materialize, may adversely affect our financial condition.

As of June 30, 2018, our contingent liabilities that have not been provided for are as set out in the table below:

(₹ in million)
Particulars As of June 30, 2018
Guarantee furnished by banks on our behalf 1,340.58
Letters of credit furnished by banks on our behalf 309.84
Service Tax under appeal 14.27
We had availed stamp duty exemption as available under the Chhattisgarh Industrial 4.43
Policy, 2009 to 2014, subject to commencing of operations of the plant within a
period of five years which could not be completed due to delay in land possession
by the concerned state authority, against which the office of the collector of stamps,
Baloda Bazar, Chhattisgarh has issued a demand notice on account of stamp duty
(including interest and penalty). Since the delay was not due to any reasons
attributable to us, the matter was appealed before the High Court of Chhattisgarh,
which in turn has redirected the case to Revenue Court, Bilaspur, where the matter
is pending to be decided.
The Commercial Taxes Department, West Bengal had directed that we are liable to 23.83
pay entry tax of 1% on all imports in the state of West Bengal under the West Bengal
Tax for Entry of Goods into Local Areas Act, 2012. This act was declared ultra vires
by order dated June 24, 2013 of the High Court of Calcutta. We have filed a writ
petition before the High Court of Calcutta seeking direction upon the sales tax
authorities to forthwith rescind and / or forbear from giving any effect or further
effect to the observation of imposing the entry tax. The petition stands disposed of.
However, in view of latest judgment of the nine member bench of the Supreme Court
and subsequent amendment in the West Bengal Tax On Entry Of Goods Into Local
Areas Act, 2012, our management is of the view that we may have the liability of
paying entry tax under the said act.
Gujarat Urja Vikash Nigam Limited (“GUVNL”) filed a petition before the Gujarat -
State Commission for a downward revision of the tariff for the solar energy projects
for all solar projects set-up in that state, including our project. The said petition was
dismissed by the State Commission. GUVNL filed an appeal before the Appellate
Tribunal for Electricity, Gujarat. The Appellate Tribunal also dismissed the petition
filed by GUVNL by its order dated August 22, 2014. GUVNL has filed special leave
petition before the Supreme Court which is pending.
The Government of Rajasthan had granted a ‘Letter of Intent’ (“LOI”) dated -
December 31, 2014 for grant of mining lease of limestone in an area of 989.50
hectare. A review committee formed by the Government of Rajasthan had cancelled
the LOI issued to various parties including us. We have appealed to the Revision
Authority, Ministry of Mines, Government of India against such cancellation. The
cancellation order was set aside and remanded back to the State Government. We
have appealed before the High Court of Rajasthan against no action taken by the

Total 1,692.95

If a significant portion of these liabilities materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition. For details, see “Financial Statements – Note 39 - Commitments and
Contingent Liabilities” on page 245.

47. Our Promoters and members of our Promoter Group together exert substantial voting control over our
Company and will continue to do so after completion of the Offer, which may limit your ability to influence
the outcome of matters submitted for approval of our shareholders.

As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Promoters and members of our Promoter Group,
together, hold 99.98% of the shareholding of the Company. Following the completion of the Offer, our
Promoters and members of our Promoter Group will continue to hold substantial portion of our post-Offer
Equity Share capital. As a result, they will have the ability to significantly influence matters requiring

37
 shareholders’ approval, including the ability to appoint Directors to our Board and the right to approve
significant actions at Board and at shareholders’ meetings, including the issue of Equity Shares and dividend
payments, business plans, mergers and acquisitions, any consolidation or joint venture arrangements, any
amendment to our Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association. We cannot assure you that our
Promoters will not have conflicts of interest with other shareholders or with our Company. Any such conflict
may adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy or to operate our business.

48. Any future issuance of Equity Shares may dilute your shareholding, and sales of our Equity Shares by
our Promoters and members of our Promoter Group may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity
Shares.

We currently do not intend, or propose, to alter the capital structure of our Company or enter into any
acquisitions, joint ventures or other arrangements such that it may need to raise further capital or alter its
capital structure within a period of six months from the listing of Equity Shares pursuant to the Offer.
However, in the event opportunities arise that may require us to raise further capital, it may, subject to
compliance with applicable regulations and receipt of approvals, issue shares which may dilute the
shareholding of the investors in this Offer.

Any future equity issuances by us could dilute the shareholding of investors in our Company and sales of
Equity Shares by our Promoters and members of the Promoter Group, including in order to comply with
minimum public shareholding requirements, could adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Such issuances, or the perception by potential investors that such issuances or sales might occur, could impact
our ability to raise capital through an offering of our securities.

49. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on our earnings, financial condition, working capital
requirements, capital expenditures and restrictive covenants of our financing arrangements.

Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on our earnings, financial condition, cash flow, working
capital requirements, capital expenditure and restrictive covenants of our financing arrangements. Any future
determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will
depend on factors that our Board deems relevant, including among others, our future earnings, financial
condition, cash requirements, business prospects and any other financing arrangements. Additionally, our
ability to pay dividends may also be restricted by the terms of financing arrangements that we may enter into.
Dividends distributed by us will attract dividend distribution tax at rates applicable from time to time. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends in the future. For further details, see “Dividend
Policy” on page 195.

50. Certain of our Group Companies have incurred losses in the preceding three financial years based on
their last audited financial statements available.

Our Group Companies, Raviraj Viniyog, Prabhakar Viniyog, New Way, Emami Natural Resources and Emami
Power have incurred losses in the preceding three financial years. The details of the losses made by our Group
Companies in the preceding three financial years based on their last audited financial statements is set out
below. We cannot assure you that our Group Companies will not incur losses in the future.

51. Our Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale and the objects of the Fresh Issue for
which the funds are being raised are based on management estimates. Any variation in the utilization of
our Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance requirements, including prior shareholders’
approval.

The Offer includes an offer for sale of equity shares aggregating up to ₹ 5,000.00 million by the Selling

38
 Shareholders. The proceeds from the Offer for Sale will be paid to Selling Shareholders and we will not
receive any such proceeds. Our Company intends to primarily use the Net Proceeds of the Fresh Issue for
repayment and prepayment of certain outstanding indebtedness and general corporate purposes, as described
in “Objects of the Offer” on page 88. The plans are based on current management estimates and our Company
may revise its management estimates from time to time and consequently its requirements may change. Any
variation in the Objects of the Fresh Issue would require shareholders’ approval and may involve considerable
time or may not be forthcoming and in such an eventuality it may adversely affect our operations or business.

Further, our Promoters or controlling shareholders would be required to provide an exit opportunity to the
shareholders who dissent with our proposal to change the objects of the Offer, at a price and in the manner
as specified in the Sections 13(8) and 27 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Chapter VI-A of the SEBI ICDR
Regulations. The requirement on our Promoters or controlling shareholders to provide an exit opportunity to
such dissenting shareholders may discourage our Promoters or our controlling shareholders from undertaking
steps for the variation of the proposed utilisation of our Net Proceeds, even if such variation is in our interest.
Further, we cannot assure you that our Promoters or the controlling shareholders will have adequate
resources at their disposal at all times to enable them to provide an exit opportunity to the dissenting
shareholders at the price specified in the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

In light of these factors, we may not be able to undertake any variation in objects of the Fresh Issue to use
any unutilized proceeds of the Fresh Issue even if such variation is in our interest. This may restrict our ability
to respond to any developments in our business or financial condition by re-deploying the unutilized portion
of our Net Proceeds, if any, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations. Additionally,
various risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in this section, may limit or delay our Company’s
efforts to use the Net Proceeds to achieve profitable growth in its business.

52. We have commissioned an industry report from CRISIL Research which has been used for industry
related data in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and such data has not been independently verified by
us.

The information in this section and the sections entitled “Summary of Industry”, “Summary of Business”,
“Business” and “Industry Overview” on pages 46, 50, 128 and 99, respectively includes information that is
derived from the CRISIL Report. We commissioned this report for the purpose of confirming our
understanding of the industry in connection with the Offer. Neither we, nor any of the BRLMs nor their
associates or affiliates or any other person connected with the Offer has verified the information in the CRISIL
Report. CRISIL has advised that, while it has taken due care and caution in preparing the report based on
information obtained from sources which it considers reliable, it does not guarantee the accuracy, adequacy
or completeness of the CRISIL Report or the data therein and is not responsible for any errors or omissions
or for the results obtained from the use of Industry Report or the data therein. The CRISIL Report highlights
certain industry and market data relating to the Company and its competitors. Such data is subject to many
assumptions. There are no standard data gathering methodologies in the industry in which we conduct our
business, and methodologies and assumptions may vary widely among different industry sources. Further,
such assumptions may change based on various factors. We cannot assure you that CRISIL’s assumptions
are correct or will not change and accordingly our position in the market may differ from that presented in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Further, the CRISIL Report is not a recommendation to invest or disinvest
in our Company or any company covered in the CRISIL Report. CRISIL has stated that it is not responsible
for any loss or damage arising from the use of the CRISIL Report. You are advised not to unduly rely on the
CRISIL Report when making your investment decision.

53. One of our Independent Directors is a director of a company which is engaged in same line of business
activities as those undertaken by our Company, which may result in conflict of interest.

One of our Independent Directors, Sundaram Balasubramanian is an independent director of Sanghi

Industries Limited, which is engaged in the business of cement manufacturing which may result in conflict
of interest. Any such present and future conflicts may have a material adverse effect on our reputation,
business and results of operations.

39
External Risk Factors

Risks Related to India

54. The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters could adversely affect our results of operations, cash
flows and financial condition. Hostilities, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence could
adversely affect the financial markets and our business.

The occurrence of natural disasters, including cyclones, storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes,
fires, explosions, pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions,
could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Terrorist attacks and other
acts of violence or war may adversely affect the Indian securities markets. In addition, any deterioration in
international relations, especially between India and its neighbouring countries, may result in investor
concern regarding regional stability which could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares. In addition,
India has witnessed local civil disturbances in recent years and it is possible that future civil unrest as well
as other adverse social, economic or political events in India could have an adverse effect on our business.
Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher
degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on our business and the market price of the Equity Shares.

55. Political, economic or other factors that are beyond our control may have an adverse effect on our business
and results of operations.

We are dependent on domestic, regional and global economic and market conditions. Our performance,
growth and market price of our Equity Shares are and will be dependent to a large extent on the health of the
economy in which we operate. There have been periods of slowdown in the economic growth of India.
Demand for our services may be adversely affected by an economic downturn in domestic, regional and
global economies. Economic growth in the countries in which we operate is affected by various factors
including domestic consumption and savings, balance of trade movements, namely export demand and
movements in key imports (oil and oil products), global economic uncertainty and liquidity crisis, volatility
in exchange currency rates, and annual rainfall which affects agricultural production. Consequently, any
future slowdown in the Indian economy could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows. Also, a change in the government or a change in the economic and deregulation policies
could adversely affect economic conditions prevalent in the areas in which we operate in general and our
business in particular and high rates of inflation in India could increase our costs without proportionately
increasing our revenues, and as such decrease our operating margins.

Further, our business largely depends upon the continued spending by the relevant Government agencies on
housing and civil infrastructure projects, including the nature, scale, location and timing of the Government’s
public investment plans in the housing and civil infrastructure of India. These factors include the
government’s policy and priorities regarding different regional economies across India and the general
condition and prospects of the overall economy of India. Any significant reduction in the Indian
government’s budget relating to housing or infrastructure spending could have a material and adverse effect
on our business, financial position and results of operations.

56. The Indian tax regime is currently undergoing substantial changes which could adversely affect our
business.

The goods and service tax (“GST”) that has been implemented with effect from July 1, 2017 combines taxes
and levies by the central and state governments into a unified rate structure, and replaces indirect taxes on
goods and services such as central excise duty, service tax, customs duty, central sales tax, state VAT, cess
and surcharge and excise that were being collected by the central and state governments. Any regulations
implemented by the government relating to the collection of GST for past fiscal years, or increase in the GST
rate, may have an adverse impact on our business and operations.

57. Investors may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against our Company.

Our Company is incorporated under the laws of India. Our Company’s assets are primarily located in India
and our Company’s Directors and Key Management Personnel are residents of India. As a result, it may not
be possible for investors to effect service of process upon our Company or such persons in jurisdictions
outside India, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in courts outside India.

40
 India has reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters with only a
limited number of jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong. In order to be
enforceable, a judgment from a jurisdiction with reciprocity must meet certain requirements of the Indian
Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (“CPC”). The CPC only permits the enforcement and execution of monetary
decrees in the reciprocating jurisdiction, not being in the nature of any amounts payable in respect of taxes,
other charges, fines or penalties. Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions which do not have reciprocal
recognition with India cannot be enforced by proceedings in execution in India. Therefore, a final judgment
for the payment of money rendered by any court in a non-reciprocating territory for civil liability, whether or
not predicated solely upon the general laws of the non-reciprocating territory, would not be enforceable in
India.

The party in whose favor a final foreign judgment in a non-reciprocating territory is rendered may bring a
fresh suit in a competent court in India based on the final judgment within three years of obtaining such final
judgment. However, it is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign
court if an action were brought in India or that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments if it viewed
the amount of damages as excessive or inconsistent with Indian public policy.

58. Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as Indian GAAP, IFRS
and U.S. GAAP, which may be material to investors’ assessment of our financial condition.

Our financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018, 2017 and 2016
have been prepared in accordance with Ind AS, while our financial statements as of and for the year ended
March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP. Accordingly, the degree to
which the Ind AS and Indian GAAP financial statements included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will
provide meaningful information may vary depending on the reader's level of familiarity with Indian
accounting practices. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial
disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited.

59. Rights of shareholders under Indian laws may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.

Indian laws governing our corporate affairs and procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities, and
shareholders’ rights, may differ may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction.
Shareholders’ rights including in relation to class actions, under Indian law may not be as extensive as
shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may have more difficulty in
asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian company than as shareholder of a corporation in another
jurisdiction.

60. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse
effect on the value of our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.

On listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in
respect of our Equity Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into the relevant
foreign currency for repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during the
time that it takes to undertake such conversion may reduce the net dividend to foreign investors. In addition,
any adverse movement in currency 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 proceeds received by Equity Shareholders. For example, the
exchange rate between the Rupee and the U.S. dollar has fluctuated substantially in recent years, in particular
has significantly declined in the year 2018, and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future, which
may have an adverse effect on the trading price of our Equity Shares and returns on our Equity Shares,
independent of our operating results.

61. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of our Equity Shares.

Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity
shares in an Indian company is generally taxable in India. A securities transaction tax (“STT”) is levied on
and collected by an Indian stock exchange on which equity shares are sold. As stipulated by the Finance
Act, 2017, where no STT had been paid at the time of acquisition of such equity shares on or before October
1, 2004, the beneficial capital gains provisions under the Income Tax Act would not be available (except in

41
 specified cases). Prior to April 1, 2018, all long term capital gains on sale of listed security on stock
exchange, subject to payment of STT, were exempt from tax. However, the Finance Act, 2018, has now
levied taxes on such long term capital gains arising from sale of equity shares on or after April 1, 2018.
However, where specified conditions are met, such long term capital gains are only taxed to the extent they
exceed ₹ 100,000 and unrealised capital gains earned up to January 31, 2018 continue to be exempt.

Further, any gain realized on the sale of our Equity Shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be
subject to short term capital gains tax in India. Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will
be exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India is provided under a
treaty between India and the country of which the seller is a resident. Generally, Indian tax treaties do not
limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for
tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of Equity Shares. Accordingly, you
may be subject to payment of long term capital gains tax in India, in addition to the payment of STT, on the
sale of Equity Shares held for more than 12 months. STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock
exchange on which our Equity Shares are sold.

Risks Related to the Equity Shares and the Offer

62. The Offer Price is not indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares and the trading volume and
market price of the Equity Shares may be volatile following the Offer.

The Offer Price of the Equity Shares will be determined by the Company in consultation with the BRLMs
through the book-building process. The Offer Price will be based on numerous factors, including the basic
and diluted earnings per share, price earnings ratio in relation to the offer price per equity share based on face
value, comparison with other listed industry peers (if any), and return on net worth as described under “Basis
for Offer Price” on page 94, and may not be indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the
Offer. Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market
on the stock exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. The Offer Price of our Equity Shares
may bear no relationship to the market price of our Equity Shares at the time of commencement of trading of
our Equity Shares or at any time thereafter. The market price of our Equity Shares at such times may be
subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in the operating results,
market conditions specific to the sector we operate in, developments relating to India and volatility in the
Stock Exchanges and securities markets elsewhere in the world. We cannot assure you that the investors will
be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.

The market price of the Equity Shares may fluctuate as a result of, among other things, the following factors,
some of which are beyond our control:

 variations in our results of operations;

 results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;

 results of operations that vary from those of our competitors;

 changes in expectations to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by

research analysts and investors;

 changes in research analysts’ recommendations;

 announcements by our Company or our competitors relating to significant acquisitions, strategic

alliances, joint operations or capital commitments;

 any announcements of significant claims or proceedings against us;

 new laws and governmental regulations applicable to our industry;

 additions or departures of Key Management Personnel;

 changes in exchange rates;

 fluctuations in stock market prices and volume; and

42
  general economic and stock market conditions.

Changes in relation to any of the factors listed above could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares.
The market price of the Equity Shares may decline below the Offer Price, and investors may not be able to
re-sell Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price, resulting in a loss of all or part of the investment.

63. Holders of Equity Shares may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian
law and thereby suffer future dilution of their ownership position.

Under the Companies Act, 2013 a company incorporated in India must offer its equity shareholders pre-
emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of equity shares to maintain their existing
ownership percentages prior to issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been
waived by the adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares voting on such
resolution. However, if the law of the jurisdiction that you are in does not permit the exercise of such pre-
emptive rights without our filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable authority
in such jurisdiction, you will be unable to exercise such pre-emptive rights, unless we make such a filing. If
we elect not to file a registration statement, the new securities may be issued to a custodian, who may sell
the securities for your benefit. The value such custodian receives on the sale of any such securities and the
related transaction costs cannot be predicted. To the extent that you are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights
granted in respect of our Equity Shares, your proportional interests in our Company may be reduced.

64. QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of
quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.

Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw
or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting
a Bid. Retail Individual Investors can revise their Bids during the Bid/ Offer Period and withdraw their Bids
until Bid/Offer Closing Date. While our Company is required to complete Allotment pursuant to the Offer
within six Working Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest
in the Equity Shares, including material adverse changes in international or national monetary policy,
financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operation or financial condition may arise
between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. Our Company may complete the Allotment of the
Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events limit the Bidders’ ability to sell the Equity Shares
Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.

65. Government regulation of foreign ownership of Indian securities may have an adverse effect on the price
of our Equity Shares.

Foreign ownership of Indian securities is subject to Government regulation. In accordance with foreign
exchange regulations currently in effect in India, under certain circumstances the RBI must approve the sale
of the Equity Shares from a non-resident of India to a resident of India or vice-versa if the sale does not
meet certain requirements specified by the RBI. Additionally, any person who seeks to convert the Rupee
proceeds from any such sale into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India is required
to obtain a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. As provided
in the foreign exchange controls currently in effect in India, the RBI has provided that the price at which
the Equity Shares are transferred be calculated in accordance with internationally accepted pricing
methodology for the valuation of shares at an arm’s length basis, and a higher (or lower, as applicable) price
per share may not be permitted. We cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any
other government agency can be obtained on terms favorable to a non-resident investor in a timely manner
or at all. Because of possible delays in obtaining requisite approvals, investors in the Equity Shares may be
prevented from realizing gains during periods of price increase or limiting losses during periods of price
decline.

 SECTION III – INTRODUCTION
SUMMARY OF INDUSTRY

The information contained in this section is derived from the CRISIL report titled “Cement market Assessment
for India and Eastern Region” dated October 2018, which has been commissioned by us. Neither we, nor any
other person connected with the Offer has independently verified this information. Industry sources and
publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources generally
believed to be reliable, but their accuracy, completeness and underlying assumptions are not guaranteed and
their reliability cannot be assured. Industry publications are also prepared based on information as of specific
dates and may no longer be current or reflect current trends. See “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors - We
have commissioned an industry report from CRISIL Research which has been used for industry related data
in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and such data has not been independently verified by us” on page 39.
.
Investors should note that this is only a summary description of the industry in which we operate and does not
contain all information that should be considered before investing in the Equity Shares. Before deciding to invest
in the Equity Shares, prospective investors should read the entire Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the
information in the sections “Risk Factors”, “Industry Overview”, “Business” and “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” on pages 16, 99, 128 and 301 respectively. An
investment in the Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk.

Overview of the Indian Economy

India adopted Fiscal 2012 as the new base year for calculating gross domestic product (“GDP”). With this base,
its GDP increased to ₹ 130 trillion in Fiscal 2018 from ₹ 87 trillion in Fiscal 2012, at a compounded annual growth
rate (“CAGR”) of 6.9%. As per the Central Statistics Office, GDP growth in Fiscal 2018 was driven by faster
growth in second half of the fiscal.
The following chart sets forth real GDP growth in India (Fiscal 2012 series):

Quarterly GDP growth has increased and is expected to increase growth to 7% to 8% in Fiscal 2019. However the
growth could be affected if oil prices sustain at the current level. The growth revival in Fiscal 2019 is expected to
be consumption-led, with support from investments. A normal monsoon in 2018, benign interest rates, return of
pent-up demand and implementation of house rent allowance revisions at the state government level are expected
to support growth, together with the government’s support of the rural and infrastructure segments. Resolution of
GST related errors and faster trade growth, supported by cyclical recovery in the global economy are expected to
support India’s exports. The recapitalisation of public sector banks is expected to allow funding support from

Overview of India’s Cement Industry

The Indian cement market is the second-largest in the world after China and accounts for 294 to 296 million metric
tonnes per annum (“MMTPA”) of cement demand in Fiscal 2018. Cement demand in India has grown at a CAGR
of 4% to 5% over the last five years. Cement is a high-volume and low-value commodity. Transporting cement
beyond a certain distance makes it unviable for end-users, thus making the cement industry largely regional in
nature. Cement consumption varies region-wise because the supply and demand balance, per capita income and
level of industrial development differ in each state and consequently, in each region. As a result, the share of
imports (in local consumption) and exports (in local production) is negligible.

The cement industry in India has been growing at 1.2 times of GDP growth in last two decades. However, with
continued decline in the investment-to-GDP ratio, there has been significantly lower capital formation in the
economy. This, in turn, has reflected in the cement-to-GDP multiplier being consistently below 1.0 till Fiscal
2017. In Fiscal 2018, cement demand to GDP multiplier is estimated to touch 1.2, when cement demand grew
faster than GDP. Though this level of multiplier is not sustainable, it signals the beginning of a healthy multiplier
phase.

The following chart sets forth the historical and projected trends in India’s cement demand (in MMTPA), cement
demand growth and GDP growth:

In Fiscal 2018, cement demand is estimated to have grown by 8% to 9%, supported by the government’s push for
affordable housing, increased infrastructure spending and low base of the previous year. In Fiscals 2019 and 2020,
cement demand is expected to have a year-on-year growth of approximately 6% to 8%. While demand in Fiscal
2019 is expected to be driven by pre-election spending and the low base of the first half of the fiscal, demand in
Fiscal 2020 is expected to be driven by growth in the rural housing and infrastructure segments.

In the long term, cement demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% to 7% over the Fiscals 2018 to 2023 as
compared to a CAGR of 4% to 5% during Fiscals 2013 to 2018, led by a number of infrastructure investments.

Region-Wise Outlook

The following chart sets forth the classification of regions for study:

Cement demand in India has estimated to have grown at a CAGR of 4% to 5% over the last five years, to 294 to
296 MMTPA in Fiscal 2018 from 237 MMTPA in Fiscal 2013. The cement demand growth nearly stopped, with
a year-on-year growth of 1% in Fiscal 2017 due to demonetization. The years prior to Fiscal 2017 also witnessed
slow growth due to subdued construction activity, especially in the housing segment. The demand is estimated to
have increased in Fiscal 2018, recording a year-on-year growth of 8% to 9%, supported by low base, led by India’s
north, east (including north-east) and central regions. Problems in availability of sand in Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttar
Pradesh and Tamil Nadu affected demand growth in first half of Fiscal 2018 and to a certain extent the third
quarter of Fiscal 2018. The cement demand is estimated to have grown at 16% to 18% in the third quarter of Fiscal
2018, which is attributed to low base. The growth is expected to continue in the long-term. In the fourth quarter
of Fiscal 2018, cement demand had a year-on-year growth of 8.3%, primarily driven by growth in India’s north,
east and central regions. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have also witnessed growth in cement demand in the
same period. India’s southern region witnessed a slowdown in construction activity in Tamil Nadu, which in turn
affected cement growth. India’s eastern region recorded a growth in the same period, driven by an increase in
affordable housing and demand from the infrastructure segment. Growth in India’s eastern and central regions
was also supported by low base. Thus, the southern region lost its market share to the eastern (including north
eastern) region from Fiscal 2013 to Fiscal 2018.

The following chart sets forth the regional cement demand trend from Fiscal 2013 to Fiscal 2018 (in MMTPA):

Notes: 1) Percentages may not add up to 100% due to the rounding off of numbers.

Cement demand is expected to grow by 6.5% to 7.5% in Fiscal 2019, with the eastern (including north eastern)
and central regions leading growth. Pre-election spending is expected to support infrastructure-led activities and
increase cement demand. Further, state elections in December 2018 in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and
Chhattisgarh are expected to accelerate growth in cement demand.

In terms of regional dynamics, while the eastern (including north eastern) region is expected to exhibit growth,
the southern and western regions are expected to continue to remain under pressure.

The following chart sets forth the projected shift in region-wise demand over the next five years:

Notes: 1) E- refers to estimated and P- refers to projected. 2) Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding off.

India’s eastern region (including the north east) has the lowest per capita consumption followed by the central
region. With the development of infrastructure and government initiatives (for housing such as the Pradhan Mantri
Awas Yojana (“PMAY”) initiative) largely focusing on the region, the growth is expected to outpace all other
regions for the next five years.

One of the Leading Cement Manufacturing Companies in Eastern India with Ability to Scale-up Quickly

We commenced commercial production in December 2016 at our Risda Manufacturing Plant. In December 2017,
we commenced the commercial production of cement at our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant. We established a
manufacturing capacity of 5.60 MMTPA in our first two years of commercial operations, making us one of the
fastest growing cement companies to achieve such feat among cement manufacturers operating in Eastern India.
(Source: CRISIL Report) In September 2018, we acquired our Bhabua Manufacturing Plant and we are currently
in the process of increasing its installed capacity to 1.80 MMTPA. We are also in the process of setting up our
Kalinganagar Manufacturing Plant. With this expansion and receipt of necessary approvals, the aggregate installed
capacity of our four plants is expected to reach 9.30 MMTPA of cement and 3.20 MMTPA of clinker by April
2019, catering primarily to Eastern and Central India.

We have demonstrated our ability to scale up our operations in a time and cost efficient manner resulting in a
rapid increase in our cement sales volumes and market share. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and
Fiscals 2018 and 2017, we sold an aggregate of 1,107,796 MT, 2,302,518 MT and 375,798 MT of cement,
respectively. The market share of our products in Eastern India has increased from 1% for Fiscal 2017 to 4% for
Fiscal 2018 and reached 5% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. (Source: CRISIL Report) We have
substantially expanded our distribution network, which comprised over 1,250 dealers and over 2,500 retailers, as
of June 30, 2017, to over 2,200 dealers and over 5,000 retailers, as of June 30, 2018. The extent of our distribution
network, and our relationships with our dealers and retailers, enables us to market and distribute our products
widely and efficiently. Our customer base also includes institutional clients such as Simplex Infrastructures
Limited, Nuvoco Vistas Corporation Limited and Bengal Shapoorji Housing Development Private Limited. For
the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018 and 2017, sales to retail customers accounted for 63.19%,
61.00% and 66.50% of our total cement sales, respectively, while sales to institutional customers accounted for
36.81%, 39.00% and 33.50% of our total cement sales, respectively.

51
Strategically Located and Well Connected Manufacturing Plants

Our manufacturing plants are strategically located in close proximity to raw material sources and consumption
centers. We follow a strategy of split grinding where grinding units are set up closer to end-use markets and raw
material sources enabling us to manufacture and sell cement in a cost efficient manner. Our Risda Manufacturing
Plant is located approximately 70 kms from Raipur, which is the capital of Chhattisgarh. We obtain limestone for
clinker production from our Risda Mining Unit where we operate a fully mechanized limestone mine. For further
details, see “Business - Raw Materials and Utilities - Limestone Supply and Reserves” on page 139. Our
Panagarh Manufacturing Plant is located approximately 150 kms from Kolkata, which is the capital of West
Bengal and is approximately 800 kms away from our Risda Manufacturing Plant, enabling the cost effective
transport of clinker. Our Kalinganagar and Bhabua Manufacturing Plants are also located in proximity to major
consumption centers and are at a distance of approximately 600 kms from our Risda Manufacturing Plant.

We have entered into contracts, which typically range between one to five years, to source our fly ash requirement
from thermal power plants located within a radius of 150 kms from our Risda Manufacturing Plant and have also
entered into similar arrangements for our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant. We have entered into fuel supply
agreements for a period of five years for the procurement of coal in Chhattisgarh, which enables us to optimize
our overall fuel costs. We also use pet coke for our manufacturing operations, which we source domestically and
from international markets. In addition, all our plants are located in the vicinity of state and national highways.
The strategic location of our plants allows us to be in close proximity to raw materials and our customers, thus
optimizing time to serve the market, increasing operating efficiencies, reducing operating costs and further
improving our competitive position.

Modern Plants and Cost-Efficient Manufacturing Capabilities

Our integrated Risda Manufacturing Plant has an installed capacity of 3.20 MMTPA of clinker and 2.50 MMTPA
of cement, with modern cement manufacturing capabilities. We have installed a vertical roller mill manufactured
by GEBR. PFEIFFER SE, Germany for raw meal grinding, a double string preheater with inline-low NOx-calciner
and a cross bar cooler, which along with our kiln, were designed and manufactured by FLSmidth Private Limited,
Denmark. We have also set up a robotic laboratory at this plant and a cross-belt analyzer, which enable us to
produce good quality of clinker and cement consistently. The cross-belt analyzer helps us monitor the quality of
limestone that is used in our manufacturing operations on a real time basis, while the robotic lab automatically
checks the quality of raw materials, clinker and cement manufactured. We have set up a 9 MW waste heat recovery
system (with provisions to scale up the generation of power up to 12 MW, subject to the receipt of necessary
approvals) manufactured by LNV Technology Private Limited, which utilizes waste heat generated from the
clinker manufacturing process and converts it to steam to generate power for our operations. In addition, we have
set up a 30 MW captive coal based power plant making our Risda Manufacturing Plant efficient in terms of
electrical energy consumption. We source almost all of our electrical energy requirement for our Risda
Manufacturing Plant from our captive power plant and waste heat recovery system. Our integrated operations at
our Risda Manufacturing Plant allow us to capture a greater portion of the cement value chain, maintain our cost
competitiveness and produce good quality clinker for the manufacturing of cement.

Our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant has an installed capacity of 2.50 MMTPA of cement (with current approvals
for production up to 2.00 MMTPA) and we are the largest cement manufacturing company in West Bengal, in
terms of installed capacity. (Source: CRISIL Report) At this plant, we manufacture PSC using a separate grinding
principle where slag and clinker are ground separately and then blended proportionately, enabling us to
manufacture high quality PSC at optimal cost. We also produce PPC, OPC and composite cement at this plant.
We have implemented technical know-how and developed expertise in our operations, which has enabled us to
have a lower production cost per tonne than large cement manufacturers across India during the three months
ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscal 2018. (Source: CRISIL Report) We have been focused on managing our
manufacturing costs and enhancing manufacturing efficiencies, thereby improving key performance indicators,
such as electrical and thermal energy consumption, efficiency of equipment including our raw mill, kiln and
cement mill, and clinker conversion ratio. As a result, we had a lower power and fuel cost per ton for the three
months ended June 30, 2018 than other large and mid-sized cement manufacturers in India. (Source: CRISIL
Report) For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018 and 2017, the utilization levels for our clinker
facility at our Risda Manufacturing Plant were 98.89%, 66.62% and 38.94%, while for our cement grinding unit
were 116.56%, 76.89% and 44.15%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscal 2018, the
utilization levels for our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant were 84.51% and 62.79%, respectively. In contrast, the
average operating levels for Eastern India (including North East) were 66% and 68% for Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal
2018, respectively, according to the CRISIL Report. Our clinker to cement ratio was 65.73%, 66.81% and 66.93%

52
for our Risda Manufacturing Plant for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018 and 2017,
respectively, while it was 57.63% and 52.89% for our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant for the three months ended
June 30, 2018 and Fiscal 2018, respectively. Given our higher proportion of PSC and PPC sales, we have a lower
clinker to cement ratio compared to national average of 70% to 75%, according to the CRISIL Report. In addition,
we use a modern dry manufacturing process at our Risda Manufacturing Plant, which reduces energy
consumption. Our captive power consumption as percentage of our power consumption at our Risda
Manufacturing Plant was 99.51%, 91.35% and 74.29% for three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscal 2018 and
2017, respectively.

Further, the proximity of our plants to key raw materials enables us to reduce our manufacturing costs. We
currently source all our limestone requirement from our Risda Mining Unit, which is adjacent to our Risda
Manufacturing Plant and we are also able to procure fly ash and coal from sources close to our plants.

Strong Parentage and Established Brand

We are a part of the Emami group, which is among India’s prominent corporate groups and has diversified its
presence across varied sectors such as consumer goods, newsprint and packaging boards manufacturing, edible
oil and biodiesel, real estate, ballpoint tip manufacturing, pharmacy stores, cement, solar power and contemporary
art. We believe that the ‘Emami’ brand is recognizable in India due to its long established presence and the
diversified businesses in which the group operates. We market all our products under the ‘Emami Double Bull’
brand. Our OPC, PPC and PSC is sold under the brand ‘Emami Double Bull Cement’, our premium PPC offering
is sold under the brand ‘Emami Double Bull MASTER’, while our premium PSC offering is sold as ‘Emami
Double Bull Subh’. We sell our products to institutional customers under the ‘PROCEM’ brand. Our Company
was awarded the ‘Brand of the Decade 2018’ award in the cement category by ERTC Media and the ‘Brand of
the Year – Cement Segment’ award for excellence in building and construction at the National Awards for
Marketing Excellence by the Times Network in 2018. The strong recall of the ‘Emami’ brand has allowed us to
create a large and diverse customer base and facilitated our ability to market new products. According to the
CRISIL Report, the average selling price of cement during the three months ended June 30, 2018 was ₹ 350 (for
a 50 kg bag) in Eastern India among Category A companies, while we were able to sell our cement in Eastern
India for the same average price during the period, within two years of commercial production. In addition, our
association with the ‘Emami’ brand provides us with a competitive advantage in attracting talent, benefiting from
its pan-India distribution network and exploring potential business opportunities.

Experienced Management Team

We have a strong management team with considerable industry experience. Our Promoters Aditya Agarwal and
Manish Goenka are also on the board of directors our Company. Manish Goenka is the Executive Chairman of
our Company and is responsible for business development, corporate strategic planning and finance in our
Company. Vivek Chawla, our Whole-time Director and Chief Executive Officer has over 30 years of experience
in the cement industry. Rajiv Thakur, our Chief Financial Officer and Vinit Tiwari, our Chief Marketing Officer
have considerable experience in the cement industry. We also have a qualified management team for
implementing our business strategies and identifying new opportunities with experience in the cement industry,
including in the areas of manufacturing, quality control, sales and marketing. We believe that our experienced
management team positions us well to capitalize on future growth opportunities.

Strategies

The principal elements of our business strategy are as follows:

Capitalize on the Growth in the Demand for Cement in East India

According to the CRISIL Report, demand for cement in Eastern India (including North East) is set to grow at the
fastest pace in India till 2023 and we are well positioned to benefit from the increase in cement consumption in
our markets. According to the CRISIL Report, global cement production has been growing at a CAGR of
approximately 2% for the past five years and stood at approximately 4.2 billion MT during the calendar year 2017.
The Indian cement market is the second largest in the world after China and accounts for 294 to 296 MMTPA of
cement demand. Cement demand in India has grown at a CAGR of 4% to 5% over last five years, reaching 294
to 296 MMTPA in Fiscal 2018.

53
Cement demand in Eastern India (including North East), which accounted for 17% of the total demand in Fiscal
2013, accounted for 22% of total demand in India in Fiscal 2018. However, Eastern India (including North East)
still has the lowest per capital consumption of cement in India. In the long-term, cement demand in Eastern India
(including North East) is expected to outpace most other regions and grow at a CAGR of 7.5% to 8.5% between
Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2023. This would be largely backed by government induced spending on physical and
social infrastructure. Further, an uptick in infrastructure investments is also expected via key projects such as the
Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor in Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal; metro projects in Kolkata, Patna,
Ranchi; smart city related development in Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh; and several other
road and highway projects. Industrial demand is also expected to be healthy on account of investments by the
Government and private entities in the information technology, railway, power and steel sectors. (Source: CRISIL
Report) We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on such demand on account of our manufacturing
and distribution capabilities, access to raw materials and recognizable brand.

Grow and Optimize Existing Manufacturing Capacity

We are currently in the process of setting up the Kalinganagar Manufacturing Plant, which we expect would
commence commercial operations by April 2019. In September 2018, we acquired the Bhabua Manufacturing
Plant and are in the process of increasing its installed capacity to 1.80 MMTPA. We commenced commercial
production at this plant in September 2018 and plant to increase its capacity to 1.80 MMTPA by March 2019. As
of June 30, 2018, we had incurred capital expenditure of ₹ 4,112.12 million for these two plants. For our grinding
unit in Bhabua, Bihar that we recently acquired and commenced commercial operations at, we will apply our
management model and cement know-how in order to bring the acquired assets to operating standards similar to
our existing plants. We expect that our expansion plans will allow us to meet the anticipated increase in cement
demand in the future, enable us to supply growing markets more efficiently and drive profitability.

Our Risda Manufacturing Plant currently has an installed capacity of 3.20 MMTPA of clinker, which we intend
to expand to 5.00 MMTPA in the future. In addition, we are in the process of setting up a mineral dressing and
scrubbing system at our Risda Manufacturing Plant, which will enable us to recover a higher proportion of
limestone for the manufacture of clinker. Our operations team adopts best practices in line with industry standards
across our manufacturing plants and we intend to effectively manage our operations, maintain strict operational
controls and enhance customer service levels.

Promote Our Brand and Strengthen and Expand Distribution Network

Our brand is one of our key strengths and we believe that our customers and distributors associate our brand with
trusted and good quality products. We intend to continue to leverage the goodwill of our brand to differentiate us
from our competitors, enhance relationships with existing customers and seek new customers. We intend to
continue to use various media channels to promote our brands including placing advertisements and commercials
on television, newspapers, hoardings and on digital media.

We intend to strengthen and expand our distribution network to increase our sales volumes. While we currently
have a structured distribution network to cater to our retail and institutional customers, we constantly seek to grow
our product reach to under-penetrated geographies. We also seek to improve the penetration of our products in
markets in which we are currently present and widen the portfolio of our products available in those markets. As
part of our sales and distribution strategy, we continue to evaluate potential sales growth drivers for specific
products and regularly identify specific states and regions in India to focus our sales efforts. We intend to focus
on increasing the sales of our Subh Premium Slag Cement and Master Premium PPC Cement and increase sales
to retail customers, as we are able to realize higher margins for such products and through sales to retail customers.
We also intend to promote the sales of our products in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

We seek to add additional dealers and retailers to enhance our sales and distribution network and undertake
initiatives to strengthen our relationships with them by offering them sustainable business opportunities and
provide training and advice on marketing and sales techniques and inventory management. We are also focusing
on increasing customer awareness of our products by providing training and workshops for influencers such as
masons and civil engineers. We intend to educate retailers and end-consumers on our products’ attributes, with a
view to enhance brand value and be able to increase realizations for our products, thereby improving our margins.

Improve Cost Efficiency

We expect cost leadership to be a key enabler for us to increase the market share of our products and improve our

54
margins and we will continue to implement measures to reduce our operating costs and improve operational
efficiencies. We commissioned a railway siding at our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant in September 2018 and are
in the process of setting up a railway siding at our Risda Manufacturing Plant to reduce our transport costs. We
are also in the process of setting up additional clinker silos, additional truck loading machines and weigh bridges
to reduce the turnaround time of trucks, bulk cement loading systems and diesel generator sets. As of June 30,
2018, we had incurred capital expenditure of ₹ 1,095.54 million for setting up railway sidings at our Risda and
Panagarh Manufacturing Plants. We also intend to set up a rail siding at our Bhabua Manufacturing Plant. As the
number of our operational manufacturing plants increase, we will employ economies of scale to optimize our
costs. We will continue to evaluate our manufacturing and distribution costs and develop new cost-reduction
strategies, including shifting manufacturing between plants that have different costs in order to optimize
manufacturing levels as a result of eventual changes in demand. In order to increase our sales volumes, we have
engaged a leading consultancy firm and launched a project known as ‘Sprint’. Through this project, we seek to
increase sales volumes to our retail and institutional customers, improve logistics services, enhance core sale
processes and optimize costs.

Grow Through Acquisitions and Expand Operations to Other Geographies

We intend to continue to further expand our operations through the acquisition of companies or assets in high-
growth markets and we will evaluate such opportunities, keeping in view our strategy to grow and develop our
market share. For example, in September 2018, we acquired a grinding unit with an installed capacity of 0.60
MMTPA in Bhabua, Bihar and we are currently in the process of increasing its installed capacity to 1.80 MMTPA.
We continue to consider opportunities for inorganic growth, such as through mergers and acquisitions, if, among
other things, they are likely to:

 consolidate our market position;

 achieve operating leverage in key markets by unlocking potential efficiency and synergy benefits;

 increase our sales and distribution network; and

 strengthen our cost competitiveness in the market.

In addition, with a view to expand our geographic presence in India, we entered into a limestone mining lease in
Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. Further, we have obtained approvals for the mining plans submitted for two limestone
mines in Nagaur, Rajasthan and are awaiting execution of the mining leases. For further details of our mines, see
“Business - Raw Materials and Utilities - Limestone Supply and Reserves” on page 139. We have also purchased
certain parcels of land for the mine and setting up a plant in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh.

 OBJECTS OF THE OFFER

The Offer comprises a Fresh Issue by our Company and an Offer for Sale by the Selling Shareholders.

The Offer for Sale

Our Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale by the Selling Shareholders.

The Fresh Issue

The objects of the Net Proceeds of the Fresh Issue are:

1. Repayment and/or prepayment of certain indebtedness; and

2. General corporate purposes.

Further, our Company expects that the listing of the Equity Shares will enhance our visibility and our brand image
among our existing and potential customers.

The main objects and the objects ancillary to the main objects of our MoA enable our Company to: (i) undertake
our existing business activities; (ii) undertake activities for which funds are being raised by us through the Offer;
and (iii) activities undertaken for which loans were raised and which are proposed to be pre-paid from the Net
Proceeds.

Net Proceeds

The details of the proceeds of the Fresh Issue are summarized in the table below:

S. No. Particulars Amount

Other than listing fees which will be borne by our Company, all expenses with respect to the Offer will be borne by the Selling Shareholders

To be finalized upon determination of the Offer Price.

Means of finance

We propose to fund the requirements of the objects detailed above entirely from the Net Proceeds. Accordingly,
Paragraph VII C of Part A of Schedule VIII of the SEBI ICDR Regulations (which requires firm arrangements of
finance to be made through verifiable means towards at least 75% of the stated means of finance, excluding the
amount to be raised through the Fresh Issue and existing identifiable internal accruals) does not apply.

Our fund requirements and deployment of the Net Proceeds are based on internal management estimates based on
current market conditions, and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or other independent
agency. We operate in a highly competitive and dynamic industry and may have to revise our estimates from time
to time on account of changes in external circumstances or costs, or changes in other financial conditions, business
or strategy. In case of variations in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for the purposes set forth above,
increased fund requirements may be financed through our internal accruals and/or incremental debt, as required.
If the actual utilization towards the objects is lower than the proposed deployment such balance will be used for
future growth opportunities including funding existing objects, if required, and general corporate purposes, to the

88
extent that the total amount to be utilized towards the general corporate purposes will not exceed 25% of the Gross
Proceeds in compliance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

In the event that estimated utilization out of the Net Proceeds in a Fiscal is not completely met, due to any reason,
the same shall be utilized (in part or full) in the subsequent period as may be determined by our Company, in
accordance with applicable law. Any such change in our plans may require rescheduling of our expenditure
programs and increasing or decreasing expenditure for a particular object vis-à-vis the utilization of Net Proceeds.

Details of the Objects

1. Repayment and/or prepayment of certain indebtedness

We have entered into various financing arrangements with various banks and financial institutions. The borrowing
arrangements entered into by us include short term and long term borrowings. For details of these borrowing
arrangements, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 327.

We intend to utilize a portion of the Net Proceeds, aggregating up to ₹ 4,000.00 million, towards repayment or

repaid and/or prepaid, in full or partially, from the Net Proceeds, are set out below.

^As per certificate issued by Agrawal Sanjay & Company, Chartered Accountants, dated October 9, 2018.
^^As per the certificate issued by Agrawal Sanjay & Company, Chartered Accountants, dated October 9, 2018, the borrowings have been
utilised for the purpose for which they were availed.

The aggregate amount to be utilised from the Net Proceeds towards repayment/ prepayment of any combination
of the borrowings detailed above, will not exceed ₹ 4,000 million. Such repayment/ prepayment will help reduce
our outstanding indebtedness and debt servicing costs and enable utilization of our accruals for further investment
in our business growth and expansion. In addition, we expect that this would improve our ability to raise further
resources in the future to fund our potential business development opportunities.

Given the nature of the borrowings identified in the table above and the terms of repayment, the aggregate
outstanding loan amounts mentioned above may vary from time to time. In addition, we may, from time to time,
repay, refinance, enter into further financing arrangements or draw down funds from existing facilities. In
particular, Piramal Capital and Housing Finance Limited (“Piramal”) has issued an in-principle sanction letter
dated September 20, 2018 (the “In-principle Sanction Letter”) to our Company in connection with a term loan
facility amounting to ₹ 2,000.00 million to be granted to our Company for the purposes of meeting our capital
expenditure requirements. In terms of the In-principle Sanction Letter, our Company is mandatorily required to
repay the entire amount of loan availed from Piramal, among others, from the proceeds of any issuance of Equity
Shares by the Company (which would include the proceeds of the Fresh Issue). Accordingly, upon execution of
the facility agreements and drawdown of such term loan facility from Piramal, such term loan facility will be
identified in the Red Herring Prospectus as one of the loans to be repaid out of the Net Proceeds as above.

The indebtedness we will repay/ prepay out of the Net Proceeds will be selected based on various factors and
commercial considerations including, among others, (i) cost of the borrowings, including applicable interest rates
; (ii) any conditions restricting our ability to prepay/repay and the time taken to fulfil, or obtain waivers for
fulfilment of such conditions; (iii) receipt of consents for prepayment/repayment; (iv) terms and conditions of
such consents and waivers, (v) levy of any prepayment penalties and the quantum thereof, (vii) other commercial

90
considerations including, among others, the amount of the loan outstanding and the remaining tenor of the loan
and (viii) provisions of applicable law governing such borrowings.

2. General corporate purposes

The Net Proceeds will first be utilized for the object as set out above. Subject to this, we intend to deploy any
balance left out of the Net Proceeds towards general corporate purposes, as approved by our management, from
time to time, subject to such utilization for general corporate purposes not exceeding 25% of the Gross Proceeds,
in compliance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
Such general corporate purposes may include, but are not restricted to, the following:

(i) short term working capital requirements;

(ii) setting up of new manufacturing plants and mining units and/or expansion of existing plants and
other such capital expenditure;
(iii) servicing our interest obligations under our financing arrangements, as well as for repayment of
loans taken from time to time; and
(iv) ongoing general corporate purposes or exigencies, as approved by our Board, subject to compliance
with applicable law.

The allocation or quantum of utilization of funds towards the specific purposes described above will be determined
by our Board, based on our business requirements and other relevant considerations, from time to time.

 SECTION IV: ABOUT THE COMPANY
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The industry-related information contained in this section is derived from the CRISIL Report titled “Cement
market Assessment for India and Eastern Region” dated October 2018, (“CRISIL Report”). We commissioned
the CRISIL Report for the purposes of confirming our understanding of the industry in connection with the Offer.
Neither our Company, nor any other person connected with the Offer, including the BRLMs, has independently
verified the information in the CRISIL Report or other publicly available information cited in this section. See
“Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors - We have commissioned an industry report from CRISIL Research
which has been used for industry related data in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and such data has not been
independently verified by us” on page 39. Industry sources and publications generally state that the information
contained therein has been obtained from sources generally believed to be reliable, but their accuracy,
completeness and underlying assumptions are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. Industry
publications are also prepared based on information as of specific dates and may no longer be current or reflect
current trends.

Overview of the Indian Economy

India adopted Fiscal 2012 as the new base year for calculating gross domestic product (“GDP”). With this base,
its GDP increased to ₹ 130 trillion in Fiscal 2018 from ₹ 87 trillion in Fiscal 2012, at a compounded annual growth
rate (“CAGR”) of 6.9%. As per the Central Statistics Office, GDP growth in Fiscal 2018 was driven by faster
growth in second half of the fiscal.

The following chart sets forth real GDP growth in India (Fiscal 2012 series):

Quarterly GDP growth has increased and is expected to increase growth to 7% to 8% in Fiscal 2019. However the
growth could be affected if oil prices sustain at the current level. The growth revival in Fiscal 2019 is expected to
be consumption-led, with support from investments. A normal monsoon in 2018, benign interest rates, return of
pent-up demand and implementation of house rent allowance revisions at the state government level are expected
to support growth, together with the government’s support of the rural and infrastructure segments. Resolution of
GST related errors and faster trade growth, supported by cyclical recovery in the global economy are expected to
support India’s exports. The recapitalisation of public sector banks is expected to allow funding support from
banks and support growth.

The following table sets forth real GDP growth in India (% on year):

The increase in growth implies that the impact of demonetization is decreasing and that GST related issues are
being addressed. Growth improvement appears to be broad-based, with both consumption and investment
increasing.

Overview of the Global Cement Industry

Global cement production has been growing at a cumulative annual growth rate of approximately 2% for the last
five years and was at approximately 4.2 billion tonnes during the calendar year 2017.

The following chart sets forth the estimated trend in global cement production (in billion tonnes):

Global cement production is led by China which accounts for more than half of the world’s cement production, a
majority of which is consumed within the country. India is second in terms of cement production accounting for
6% to 8% of the global cement production. Developing nations such as Indonesia, India and Vietnam have been
some of the fastest growing countries in terms of cement production in the last five years. Over the last five years
India’s cement demand has grown at a CAGR of 4% to 5 %, as compared to the global cement demand which
grew at a CAGR of approximately 2% over the same period.

The following chart sets forth global trends in cement consumption for the calendar year 2017:

Notes: The figures mentioned are estimates arrived at by assessing various data points from sources such as the United Nations
comtrade database, US Geological survey and World population estimates published by the UN population division.

Overview of India’s Cement Industry

The Indian cement market is the second-largest in the world after China and accounts for 294 to 296 million metric
tonnes per annum (“MMTPA”) of cement demand in Fiscal 2018. Cement demand in India has grown at a CAGR
of 4% to 5% over the last five years. Cement is a high-volume and low-value commodity. Transporting cement
beyond a certain distance makes it unviable for end-users, thus making the cement industry largely regional in
nature. Cement consumption varies region-wise because the supply and demand balance, per capita income and
level of industrial development differ in each state and consequently, in each region. As a result, the share of
imports (in local consumption) and exports (in local production) is negligible.

The cement industry in India has been growing at 1.2 times of GDP growth in last two decades. However, with
continued decline in the investment-to-GDP ratio, there has been significantly lower capital formation in the
economy. This, in turn, has reflected in the cement-to-GDP multiplier being consistently below 1.0 till Fiscal
2017. In Fiscal 2018, cement demand to GDP multiplier is estimated to touch 1.2, when cement demand grew
faster than GDP. Though this level of multiplier is not sustainable, it signals the beginning of a healthy multiplier
phase.

The following chart sets forth the historical and projected trends in India’s cement demand (in MMTPA), cement
demand growth and GDP growth:

100
In Fiscal 2018, cement demand is estimated to have grown by 8% to 9%, supported by the government’s push for
affordable housing, increased infrastructure spending and low base of the previous year. In Fiscals 2019 and 2020,
cement demand is expected to have a year-on-year growth of approximately 6% to 8%. While demand in Fiscal
2019 is expected to be driven by pre-election spending and the low base of the first half of the fiscal, demand in
Fiscal 2020 is expected to be driven by growth in the rural housing and infrastructure segments.

In the long term, cement demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% to 7% over the Fiscals 2018 to 2023 as
compared to a CAGR of 4% to 5% during Fiscals 2013 to 2018, led by a number of infrastructure investments.
The following chart sets forth cement demand (MMTPA) and demand growth forecast:

Note: The number for Fiscal 2017 is revised.

Region-Wise Outlook

The following chart sets forth the classification of regions for study:

Cement demand in India has estimated to have grown at a CAGR of 4% to 5% over the last five years, to 294 to
296 MMTPA in Fiscal 2018 from 237 MMTPA in Fiscal 2013. The cement demand growth nearly stopped, with
a year-on-year growth of 1% in Fiscal 2017 due to demonetization. The years prior to Fiscal 2017 also witnessed
slow growth due to subdued construction activity, especially in the housing segment. The demand is estimated to
have increased in Fiscal 2018, recording a year-on-year growth of 8% to 9%, supported by low base, led by India’s
north, east (including north-east) and central regions. Problems in availability of sand in Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttar
Pradesh and Tamil Nadu affected demand growth in first half of Fiscal 2018 and to a certain extent the third
quarter of Fiscal 2018. The cement demand is estimated to have grown at 16% to 18% in the third quarter of Fiscal
2018, which is attributed to low base. The growth is expected to continue in the long-term. In the fourth quarter
of Fiscal 2018, cement demand had a year-on-year growth of 8.3%, primarily driven by growth in India’s north,
east and central regions. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have also witnessed growth in cement demand in the
same period. India’s southern region witnessed a slowdown in construction activity in Tamil Nadu, which in turn
affected cement growth. India’s eastern region recorded a growth in the same period, driven by an increase in

101
affordable housing and demand from the infrastructure segment. Growth in India’s eastern and central regions
was also supported by low base. Thus, the southern region lost its market share to the eastern (including north
eastern) region from Fiscal 2013 to Fiscal 2018.

The following chart sets forth the regional cement demand trend from Fiscal 2013 to Fiscal 2018 (in MMTPA):

Notes: 1) Percentages may not add up to 100% due to the rounding off of numbers.

Cement demand is expected to grow by 6.5% to 7.5% in Fiscal 2019, with the eastern (including north eastern)
and central regions leading growth. Pre-election spending is expected to support infrastructure-led activities and
increase cement demand. Further, state elections in December 2018 in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and
Chhattisgarh are expected to accelerate growth in cement demand.

In terms of regional dynamics, while the eastern (including north eastern) region is expected to exhibit growth,
the southern and western regions are expected to continue to remain under pressure.

The following chart sets forth the projected shift in region-wise demand over the next five years:

Notes: 1) E- refers to estimated and P- refers to projected. 2) Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding off.

India’s eastern region (including the north east) has the lowest per capita consumption followed by the central
region. With the development of infrastructure and government initiatives (for housing such as the Pradhan Mantri
Awas Yojana (“PMAY”) initiative) largely focusing on the region, the growth is expected to outpace all other
regions for the next five years.

The following chart sets forth the region-wise per capita annual consumption and demand growth forecast for
Fiscals 2018 to 2023:

Segment-Wise Outlook

102
With fast growth expected in the infrastructure segment over the next few years, the share of the segment is
expected to increase from 15% to 20% in Fiscal 2018 to 20% to 25% in Fiscal 2023.
The following chart sets forth the share of end-user segments:

The following table sets forth key government initiatives expected to augment cement demand in India:

Government programme/ scheme Prosed investment/ development targets

PMAY This is a mortgage subsidy scheme which provides intrest rate subsidies of up
to 6.5% to the economically weaker sections for the contruction or purchase of
residential houses.
Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Proposed outlay of ₹ 500 billion on development of basic infrastructure services
relating to water supply, sewerage, septage management, storm water drains,
Urban Transformation transport and development of green spaces and parks in 500 designated cities.
Smart Cities Project Proposed outlay of ₹ 480 billion on development of core infrastructure services
such as: adequate and clean water supply, sanitation and solid waste
management, efficient urban mobility and public transportation, affordable
housing for the poor, power supply, IT connectivity, governance, especially e-
governance and citizen participation, safety and security of citizens, health and
education and a sustainable urban environment in 100 designated cities.
Sagarmala Programme The Sagarmala programme is an umbrella project which envisages investments
of approximately ₹ 8 billion for the development and industrialization of the
ports and shipping industry in India. The said investment is expected to be
achieved by a combination of public spending and public-private partnership
projects.
Bharatmala Pariyojana Bharatmala Pariyojana is an umbrella project that aims to improve efficiency in
the roads sector. It is expected to supersede the National Highways
Development Project and envisages the construction of approximately 65,000
km of highways.

Supply in the Cement Industry

Due to the presence of mines of limestone (which is the key raw material for the industry) in certain pockets, most
of the integrated cement plants are located in and around these clusters in places such as Chittorgarh (Rajasthan),
Solan (Himachal Pradesh), Balodabazaar (Chhattisgarh), Satna (Madhya Pradesh), Nalgonda (Telangana),
Yeraguntla (Andhra Pradesh), Kutch (Gujarat) and Gulbarga (Karnataka).

103
Note: The figures in the chart are operational installed capacities.

The following chart sets forth the player-wise installed capacity split in India’s eastern (including north eastern)
region, for Fiscal 2018:

Supply Outlook
The cement industry is estimated to have added 18 MMTPA of capacity in Fiscal 2018 in addition to the
approximately 27 MMTPA commissioned in Fiscal 2017. The players had designated capital expenditure for the
expansion over the last three to four years, the time taken to set up an integrated cement plant, including securing
environmental clearances (companies add capacity before actual demand emerges).

As of March 31, 2018, it is estimated that the overall installed capacity was at 470 to 480 MMTPA (adjusted for
period of commissioning, this would be close to 460 to 470 MMTPA on an effective basis). The capacity additions
are expected to increase further with nearly 29 MMTPA and 33 MMTPA of capacity expected to be added in
Fiscals 2019 and 2020, respectively. The cement industry is expected to potentially witness approximately 105 to
115 MMTPA of capacity additions over Fiscals 2018 to 2023.

Inter-Regional and Intra-Regional Cement Movement Patterns

Uttar Pradesh, located in India’s central region, has traditionally been an importer, as cement demand in the state
was being met through purchases from states where production takes place, such as Madhya Pradesh. However,
Uttar Pradesh’s imports have declined after the state witnessed capacity additions in the last few years. The trend
is expected to continue. However, most of the new capacities would be in split grinding units, as there is a scarcity
of limestone in the state. Clinker will have to be sourced from outside the state, if not from the central region, then
from states such as Chhattisgarh in the eastern (including north eastern) region or Rajasthan and Himachal in the
northern region. Clinker will be the item that would see inter-regional transport, even more so than cement.
Similarly, in Maharashtra, the development of jetty facilities and addition of new capacities in the western region
would reduce the region's dependence on cement from other regions.

Key trends in India’s Cement Industry

The following chart sets forth the indicative composition of various types of cements (as prescribed by the Bureau
of Indian Standards (“BIS”)):

Product Mix – The shift from Ordinary Portland Cement to Portland Pozzolona Cement

The cement industry has seen some major changes in the production of various varieties of cement, such as
ordinary portland cement (“OPC”), portland pozzolona cement (“PPC”) and portland slag cement (“PSC”).
Cement producers have shifted from manufacturing OPC to blended cement in the last five to six years. The
proportion of blended cement has increased from 60% in Fiscal 2006 to approximately 70% in Fiscal 2018,
primarily due to its growing acceptability in the market and because it requires less limestone (a scarce natural
resource). The proportion of blended cement has been increasing, with PPC having the highest share. By blending
fly ash or slag with OPC, producers can lower power, fuel and raw material costs, thereby improving their
operating margins. While for PSC’s proximity to steel plants is an important factor that ensures easy access to
slag. As a result, the production of PSC is concentrated in the eastern (including north eastern) and southern
regions, as slag is available in these regions as there are steel plants in the area. While regions such as the north
and the west that have very few steel plants, have seen a lower penetration of PSC due to the non-availability of
slag. The share of clinker varies in each category of cement. Clinker in OPC would account for approximately
90% to 95% clinker, PPC has approximately 65% to 85% clinker, while clinker in PSC would range from 35% to
75%.

The following chart sets forth the region-wise share of different types of cement as of Fiscal 2018:

The following chart sets forth the year wise change in products sold in India:

Split-grinding and blending benefits to cement manufacturers

Split-grinding: Split-grinding is an arrangement by cement manufacturers whereby the clinker and grinding units
are set up at two different locations. Cement being a low value and high volume commodity, production and
freight costs are among the highest cost heads for a producer. In order to minimise the cost of transportation of
limestone, the clinker manufacturing units have to be located near the limestone reserve (1 tonne of clinker
requires approximately 1.5 tonne of limestone). However, in many cases, the transportation of cement from an
integrated plant near a limestone mine to the demand centres (more than 500 km) impacts the operating margins
of the players and increases purchase cost for the end-user. In such a scenario, split-grinding units are set up,
wherein clinker is transported from the integrated plant located close to the mine to the grinding and blending
units which are located near the key demand centres. Setting up grinding units in the vicinity of power and steel
plants reduces transportation costs for raw materials such as slag and fly ash.

Blending benefits: In addition to the easing of logistical constraints, the degree of blending enables players to
optimise their production costs as the additives used, such as fly ash and blast furnace slag, are available to cement
manufacturers at a marginal cost compared to limestone. The BIS allows additions of up to 35% of fly ash in PPC
and blast furnace slag up to 65% in PSC subject to meeting other quality requirements as prescribed. This
substitution of clinker results in substantial cost savings for cement manufacturers as the consumption of clinker
is 30% to 40% lower than OPC. Additionally, the reduction in the cost of transportation of clinker (approximately
0.6 tonne per tonne of blended cement) from an integrated unit to a grinding unit further eases the cost of
production. A recent trend in the industry is the emergence of composite cement which is produced by blending
fly ash and blast furnace slag with OPC. As per the BIS, the proportion of OPC in composite cement can be as
low as 35%. This could potentially lead to proliferation of grinding units in and around demand centres and/or
steel/power plants, especially in the eastern region where fly-ash and slag are easily available.

Blending to increase: Blending ratio (cement to clinker ratio) for the cement industry is estimated to have
improved from 1.41 in Fiscal 2016 (based on a sample covering 50% of the industry's production) to 1.42 in Fiscal
2017, due to demand growth in the eastern (including north east) region (as compared to pan-India). The ratio is
among the highest in India due to preference for slag cement.

The ratio is estimated to have further improved to 1.43 in Fiscal 2018 and is expected to increase further to 1.44
in Fiscal 2019. The rise is primarily due to the higher acceptance of blended cement, mainly PPC. Apart from the
faster growth in the eastern (including north east) region, permission to use PPC in works of the governments’
public works departments (earlier only OPC was permitted) has been driving the increase in the blending ratio.
As a result of the increased blending, the demand for fly ash is expected to increase. The availability of fly ash, a
waste product of burning coal, for cement plants is not expected to be an issue.

There is a significant number of coal-fired thermal power plants situated across India. Moreover, upcoming plants
are also expected to be geographically well-distributed. This is expected to ensure good supply of the raw material.
However, slag cement production will be confined to regions where steel plants are located. Slag being a low-
density commodity, becomes unviable for transport over large distances. With efforts by cement companies to
educate customers about the advantages of slag cement in the south, its share is expected to gradually increase in
the region.
The following chart sets forth the region-wise clinker to cement ratio as of Fiscal 2018:

Role of captive power plants and waste heat recovery in enhancing the efficiency of cement plants

On average, energy costs form 35% to 50% of the total manufacturing cost of cement in India. While plants in
India consume 75 to 80 kWh of electrical energy for producing 1 tonne of cement, the older plants consume 80 to
100 kWh of electrical energy. In terms of thermal energy, India’s cement plants need 700 to 750 kcal to produce
1 kg of clinker on an average. In order to reduce these costs, most manufacturers opt for captive power generation
for cement production as the cost of such power is substantially lower than that sourced from the grid. In some
cases, the cost of captive power can be less than ₹ 4 per kWh. Additionally, in recent times, companies have
started to opt for waste heat recovery systems which utilize the excess heat generated during clinker production
to generate electrical energy. As per a report published by the Confederation of Indian Industry and the Cement
Manufacturer’s Association in 2015, waste heat recovery systems can reduce specific energy consumption by as
much as 22 kwh/tonne which potentially amounts to 20% to 25% of a manufacturer’s power consumption. This
translates into substantial cost savings.

Utilization Rates Outlook

Utilization rates of the cement industry are expected to have increased in Fiscal 2018. The improvement would
have been driven by growth in demand that outpaced the incremental effective capacity. Barring the western
region, all other regions could have witnessed an increase in the rates. The western region was an exception due
to an increase in its effective capacity additions. With the incremental demand outpacing supply, utilization rates
are expected to increase in Fiscal 2019. Further, pan-India utilization rates are expected to increase to an average
of 69% in Fiscals 2019 to 2023 (both years inclusive), from 66% in Fiscals 2014 to 2018. The improvement is
primarily driven by prudent capacity additions and a moderately healthy growth phase.

The following chart sets forth the historical and projected trends in capacity utilisation (in MMTPA):

Notes: P- refers to projected. Effective cement capacity is calculated on a pro-rata basis, taking into account the month in
which the capacity becomes operational.

While the utilization rates of clinker units used to be lower than cement, there has been a trend reversal in the last
five years due to a large number of grinding capacities that were set up. Over the next five years, companies are
expected to also focus on capacity additions in clinker to cater to the increased requirement.
The following chart sets forth the historical and projected trend in capacity utilisations for cement and clinker:

Utilization rates have been increasing from Fiscal 2011 to Fiscal 2016 due to growth in production and effective
capacities. In Fiscal 2017, utilization rates were impacted by demonetization as Pan-India cement demand
recorded a year-on-year growth of 1% to 2%.
The following chart sets forth the region-wise trend in cement utilization rates:

107
Note: next five years refer to Fiscal 2019 to Fiscal 2023.

On a regional level, the southern region has the lowest utilisation rates. The region witnessed capacity additions
in anticipation of demand from Fiscals 2007 to 2013, supported by the presence of limestone mines in the region
(three clusters - Nalgonda, Yeraguntla, Gulbarga - are located in the region). The players in the southern region
have, since 2013, targeted inter-regional markets in west and east (including north east) India, thereby increasing
their production. The addition of capacities have been at a similar rate, thus stabilizing the utilization rates in the
region. As for the other regions, continuing capacity additions amid weak demand growth has resulted in a decline
in utilization rates.
The following chart sets forth the trend in cement utilization rates in India’s eastern (including north eastern)
region, in Fiscal 2018:

Note: P- refers to projected

Over the last five year period, utilization levels have stabilized in the eastern (including north eastern) region.
Utilization rates in Fiscal 2017 witnessed a decrease, primarily due to demonetization, which impacted cement
consumption from key end-user segments and led the overall construction activity to a near halt. However, going
forward, utilization rates are expected to gradually improve from current levels following an increase in
production following strong pickup in demand.

Long-term price outlook

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, cement players increased prices to pass on the increase in power and fuel costs
(due to higher petroleum coke (“petcoke”) prices). However, the momentum did not sustain as the prices declined
in the second quarter as demand weakened during the monsoon season and due to GST-related disruptions in the
supply chain. Across India, the prices declined further in the third quarter, as several states, such as Rajasthan,
Bihar, and Tamil Nadu, continued to be impacted by the ban on sand mining, constraining the demand. However,
pan-India prices during the April to November period in 2017 were up 4.2% on year. The resolution of sand
mining-related issues, subsequent demand increase and pass-on of costs (import duty on petcoke was increased
from 2.5% to 10% and an increase in diesel prices) have increased prices. Overall, the prices are expected to have
been 4.5% to 5.5% higher on year. However, in view of the large capacities coming on stream in Fiscal 2019, the
prices are expected to remain near flat despite the growth expected in spending by the central government in the
pre-election year.

Region-Wise Trends
The following chart sets forth region-wise trend in prices (₹/ 50 kg bag):

The central region had an increase in prices in Fiscal 2017, which was followed by a moderate increase in Fiscal
2018. The prices in India’s central region increased in the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 and decreased in the second
quarter. However, despite the on-quarter decline, the prices in the second quarter were 0.8% higher on year. The
prices started increasing after November. The prices, which were 4.8% higher on year during the April to
November period, further hardened until the fourth quarter, resulting in a 5.0% to 5.5% increase. In Fiscal 2019,
infrastructure projects, such as Lucknow Metro, government spending in the pre-election year and the PMAY-
Urban are expected to increase the prices in the region. However, the reduced reliance of the eastern (including
north eastern) region on the central region is expected to restrict any sharp improvement in the prices during the
year.
The cement prices in the eastern (including north eastern) region increased by 6.2% until November 2017. Though
rising competition (entry of JSW Cement Limited in West Bengal and ramp-up at Emami Cement Limited) was
a challenge, demand growth in all major states except Bihar, driven by affordable housing supported the prices. In
the last two years, the region has witnessed large capacity additions by existing players (for instance, at Jamul and
Sindri by ACC Limited, at Panagarh in West Bengal by Emami Cement Limited and at Durg by JK Lakshmi
Cement Limited). It is expected to continue with JSW Cement Limited's Salboni expansion, Emami Cement
Limited and JSW Cement Limited’s new grinding units and the Brownfield expansion by Shree Cement Limited.
Consequently, the utilization rates are expected to remain in check and prevent any sharp increase in the prices in
Fiscal 2019.

2018. The following chart sets forth the trend in limestone prices:

The following chart sets forth the trend in imported limestone and petcoke prices:

Note: Imported coal refers to Richards Bay Coal Terminal.

The Supreme Court banned the use of petcoke in three states, Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, with effect
from November 2017. The court banned the use of commodity in the industries due to its polluting nature caused
by its high sulphur content. However, later in December, the court relaxed the ban to allow the use of petcoke as
feedstock (for example in kilns) and restrict its usage as fuel (for example in classic performance products).

Freight Mix
Traditionally, a large proportion of cement production in India is transported through the road network, due to
several factors such as better connectivity to remote areas, improving network as well issues related to rail/ rake
availability and material handling. Additionally, for smaller distance (up to 200 km), transportation through road
is more economical compared to rail. Moreover, it offers flexibility to transport a smaller quantum of cement.
The following chart sets forth the indicative mode-wise cost of freight transportation (for distances greater than
850 km):

The following chart sets forth the indicative freight cost per tonne km for various distances:

110
Logistics by sea is one of the most cost-efficient routes for transporting the commodity over long distances.
However, factors such as target market distance from cost, lead distance govern the suitability and competitiveness
of the sea route. While logistics by the sea route has several benefits, factors such as bad weather for a long period
may impact the transportation schedule and subsequently dispatches to the market.

Eastern Region Cement Market Assessment

India’s eastern region comprises Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal. In the last five years,
the eastern region has been outpacing the growth across regions driven by housing, infrastructural and industrial
construction activities in addition to improved government focus on the region.

Demand Review

While West Bengal, Bihar and Odisha are the highest contributors, in terms of volume demand; Bihar,
Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand have witnessed the fastest growth, albeit over a low base. The region witnessed
subdued demand from Fiscal 2008 to Fiscal 2013 and slowed the overall cement demand growth at the pan-India
level. The demand across all states, except Bihar, remained largely muted due to a lack of government focus on
infrastructure development. Bihar was the only state that recorded a strong growth in that period due to housing
under Indira Awas Yojna and large-scale infrastructure activities.
Cement demand in the eastern regions increased by a CAGR of approximately 9% in the last five years. The
growth trajectory was higher than the CAGR of 2.5% to 3% witnessed during the Fiscals 2008 to 2013.

The following chart sets forth the cement demand for India’s eastern region (in MMTPA):

The housing segment has predominantly been the primary cement consumer in the region led by individual
households. Real estate penetration has been limited to key cities in the region (Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Raipur,
Chhattisgarh and Patna). West Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand are the key states contributing to housing cement
demand in the region. The share of housing has declined in the last few years, largely due to industrial development

111
and government support in developing social and physical infrastructure in key states such as Odisha, Jharkhand
and Chhattisgarh.

The following chart sets forth the demand split by end-user segments in India’s eastern region, from Fiscal 2013
to estimated demand in Fiscal 2018:

Demand Outlook

Supply Review

India’s eastern region has a total capacity of 75 to 76 MMTPA, over half of which are grinding facilities.
The following chart sets forth cement capacity in India’s eastern region (in MMTPA):

Integrated units are concentrated in Chhattisgarh and Odisha, which are rich in limestone reserves, whereas
Jharkhand and West Bengal are largely concentrated by grinding units. These grinding units typically depend on
inbound clinker from neighbouring states, which is transported by road and rail. While rail transportation is
generally a cheaper mode, logistical hurdles have impeded the transportation of cement by rail.

Key logistical challenges in the eastern region are a lack of railway siding at key loading and unloading points for
cement and clinker, which can be a challenge for some players, and that there is less availability of empty rakes
in the region due to the heavy movement of food grains, bauxite, iron, coal, slag and others materials.

Bihar Cement Market Assessment

Demand Review

Bihar’s cement demand was 13 to 14 MMTPA in Fiscal 2018, constituting nearly 4% of India’s cement demand.
The growth in Bihar’s cement industry between Fiscals 2008 and 2013 was due to:

 increasing demand from the housing segment due to the Indira Awas Yojana scheme;
 an increase in cement demand in Fiscals 2009 and 2010 due to large-scale industrial and infrastructure
activities (primarily road and highway construction) along with rising demand from independent house
buildings (with growing urbanization);
 construction of roads totaling 3,100 km and 3,470 km in the state during Fiscals 2009 and 2010, respectively;
 infrastructure spending due to the Backward Regions Grant Fund of approximately ₹ 104 billion during the
Eleventh Five-Year Plan and
 sizeable industrial investments following policy support by the Government of India.

However, between Fiscals 2013 and 2018, growth was moderated. The infrastructure segment continued to be the
primary growth driver due to the continued governmental support promoting infrastructure investments.
Moreover, election spending (especially social expenditure) from Fiscal 2013 to Fiscal 2016 led to growth in
cement demand. However, demonetisation in Fiscal 2017 and a ban on sand mining in Fiscal 2018 had a
considerable impact on cement demand in the state.
The following chart sets forth the trend in Bihar’s cement demand (in MMTPA):

113

Kalyanpur Cements Limited Kalyanpur 1.0 Integrated Unit
Eco Cement India Limited Bhabua 0.6 Grinding Unit
Total 8.8

Bihar is dependent on inbounds to cater to its cement demand. The key reason for this is the lack of substantial
limestone reserves in the state as well as the proximity of grinding units in Jharkhand and West Bengal to key
demand centres in Bihar. Going forward, demand is expected to considerably outpace capacity addition, resulting
in a further widening of the demand-supply gap.
The following chart sets forth Bihar’s cement demand-supply scenario (in MMTPA):

Note: P- refers to projected.

Effective cement capacity in Bihar is expected to have an increase of approximately 1.2 MMTPA (ECO cement)
during the Fiscals 2018 to 2023. While the plant has been acquired by Emami Cement Limited recently, the
company has plans to expand it to 1.8 MMTPA from the present capacity of 0.6 MMTPA.

Demand Review

Cement demand grew primarily due to high physical and social infrastructure development, especially in the Durg,
Korba and Raipur districts, as well as industrial demand from Bilaspur (especially in steel, metals, mining and
power). The state’s abundant natural resources, such as coal and minerals, have led to growth of the cement, iron
and steel and power sectors. The state capital expenditure on development of social and economic sectors
increased at a CAGR of approximately 23% between Fiscals 2013 to 2018:

Chhattisgarh, being rich in limestone reserves, houses a large number of integrated cement plants. In Fiscal 2018,
the total capacity of these plants was more than double the internal cement demand of the state. Several plants act
as clinkerisation units supporting grinding units in the neighbouring states. Going forward, capacity in the state is
expected to be flat, resulting in the demand-supply gap reducing to a large extent.

Demand Review

Cement demand in Jharkhand was largely driven by housing and infrastructure spending in key commercial cities
and industrial investments in the metals and mining sector. Infrastructure investments were primarily driven by
road projects (four-laning of Ranchi to Jamshedpur, ongoing state highway project from Bokaro to Ranchi and
other key projects). The establishment of chemical clusters in Sahibgunj, Bokaro, Dhanbad, Hazaribagh and
Deoghar districts further supported demand and also had an indirect impact on employment, thus supporting
housing demand as well. The continued commercialization of key centers such as Ranchi and Bokaro, increased
demand growth in the industrial/commercial segment.

Demand Review

Odisha’s demand was largely driven by post-cyclone rehabilitation work and infrastructure growth (especially
roads, railways and irrigation projects such as Naraj Barrage Irrigation and Samakoi Irrigation). However, post
Fiscal 2014, demand grew significantly on account of rehabilitation work and heightened infrastructural and
industrial activity, mainly from government stimulated investments. Urban housing has provided an impetus to
cement consumption over the last five years. Housing credit of scheduled commercial banks grew at a CAGR of
16%, denoting an improvement in housing demand.

Demand Review

Demand grew primarily on account of higher infrastructure spending, increase in real estate activity (especially
in the Presidency and South Bengal clusters) and commercial development in key tourism areas. Cement demand
grew 7% to 9% post Fiscal 2012 (with the exception of Fiscal 2013) due to:
 infrastructure development and rising housing investments in South Bengal and Presidency (especially
in North 24 and South 24 Parganas, and East and West Medinipur);
 commercialisation of the North Bengal cluster (Darjeeling, Jalpaguri and others) and tourism-linked

of the state, some demand centres are served by plants in Jharkhand, Odisha and Chhattisgarh. Going forward,
approximately 8 MMTPA of additional capacity is expected in the state, while the incremental cement demand is
expected to be 5 to 7 MMTPA. As a result, the demand-supply balance in the state is expected to remain range-
bound over the next five years.

The following chart sets forth West Bengal’s cement demand-supply scenario (in MMTPA):

Note: P – refers to projected.

Although West Bengal is a fairly consolidated market with top national players accounting for approximately 55%
of the market, other players have recently been gaining share in the market.

129
Strategically Located and Well Connected Manufacturing Plants

Our manufacturing plants are strategically located in close proximity to raw material sources and consumption
centers. We follow a strategy of split grinding where grinding units are set up closer to end-use markets and raw
material sources enabling us to manufacture and sell cement in a cost efficient manner. Our Risda Manufacturing
Plant is located approximately 70 kms from Raipur, which is the capital of Chhattisgarh. We obtain limestone for
clinker production from our Risda Mining Unit where we operate a fully mechanized limestone mine. For further
details, see “- Raw Materials and Utilities - Limestone Supply and Reserves”. Our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant
is located approximately 150 kms from Kolkata, which is the capital of West Bengal and is approximately 800
kms away from our Risda Manufacturing Plant, enabling the cost effective transport of clinker. Our Kalinganagar
and Bhabua Manufacturing Plants are also located in proximity to major consumption centers and are at a distance
of approximately 600 kms from our Risda Manufacturing Plant.

We have entered into contracts, which typically range between one to five years, to source our fly ash requirement
from thermal power plants located within a radius of 150 kms from our Risda Manufacturing Plant and have also
entered into similar arrangements for our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant. We have entered into fuel supply
agreements for a period of five years for the procurement of coal in Chhattisgarh, which enables us to optimize
our overall fuel costs. We also use pet coke for our manufacturing operations, which we source domestically and
from international markets. In addition, all our plants are located in the vicinity of state and national highways.
The strategic location of our plants allows us to be in close proximity to raw materials and our customers, thus
optimizing time to serve the market, increasing operating efficiencies, reducing operating costs and further
improving our competitive position.

Modern Plants and Cost-Efficient Manufacturing Capabilities

Our integrated Risda Manufacturing Plant has an installed capacity of 3.20 MMTPA of clinker and 2.50 MMTPA
of cement, with modern cement manufacturing capabilities. We have installed a vertical roller mill manufactured
by GEBR. PFEIFFER SE, Germany for raw meal grinding, a double string preheater with inline-low NOx-calciner
and a cross bar cooler, which along with our kiln, were designed and manufactured by FLSmidth Private Limited,
Denmark. We have also set up a robotic laboratory at this plant and a cross-belt analyzer, which enable us to
produce good quality of clinker and cement consistently. The cross-belt analyzer helps us monitor the quality of
limestone that is used in our manufacturing operations on a real time basis, while the robotic lab automatically
checks the quality of raw materials, clinker and cement manufactured. We have set up a 9 MW waste heat recovery
system (with provisions to scale up the generation of power up to 12 MW, subject to the receipt of necessary
approvals) manufactured by LNV Technology Private Limited, which utilizes waste heat generated from the
clinker manufacturing process and converts it to steam to generate power for our operations. In addition, we have
set up a 30 MW captive coal based power plant making our Risda Manufacturing Plant efficient in terms of
electrical energy consumption. We source almost all of our electrical energy requirement for our Risda
Manufacturing Plant from our captive power plant and waste heat recovery system. Our integrated operations at
our Risda Manufacturing Plant allow us to capture a greater portion of the cement value chain, maintain our cost
competitiveness and produce good quality clinker for the manufacturing of cement.

Our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant has an installed capacity of 2.50 MMTPA of cement (with current approvals
for production up to 2.00 MMTPA) and we are the largest cement manufacturing company in West Bengal, in
terms of installed capacity. (Source: CRISIL Report) At this plant, we manufacture PSC using a separate grinding
principle where slag and clinker are ground separately and then blended proportionately, enabling us to
manufacture high quality PSC at optimal cost. We also produce PPC, OPC and composite cement at this plant.
We have implemented technical know-how and developed expertise in our operations, which has enabled us to
have a lower production cost per tonne than large cement manufacturers across India during the three months
ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscal 2018. (Source: CRISIL Report) We have been focused on managing our
manufacturing costs and enhancing manufacturing efficiencies, thereby improving key performance indicators,
such as electrical and thermal energy consumption, efficiency of equipment including our raw mill, kiln and
cement mill, and clinker conversion ratio. As a result, we had a lower power and fuel cost per ton for the three
months ended June 30, 2018 than other large and mid-sized cement manufacturers in India. (Source: CRISIL
Report) For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018 and 2017, the utilization levels for our clinker
facility at our Risda Manufacturing Plant were 98.89%, 66.62% and 38.94%, while for our cement grinding unit
were 116.56%, 76.89% and 44.15%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscal 2018, the
utilization levels for our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant were 84.51% and 62.79%, respectively. In contrast, the
average operating levels for Eastern India (including North East) were 66% and 68% for Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal
2018, respectively, according to the CRISIL Report. Our clinker to cement ratio was 65.73%, 66.81% and 66.93%

130
for our Risda Manufacturing Plant for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018 and 2017,
respectively, while it was 57.63% and 52.89% for our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant for the three months ended
June 30, 2018 and Fiscal 2018, respectively. Given our higher proportion of PSC and PPC sales, we have a lower
clinker to cement ratio compared to national average of 70% to 75%, according to the CRISIL Report. In addition,
we use a modern dry manufacturing process at our Risda Manufacturing Plant, which reduces energy
consumption. Our captive power consumption as percentage of our power consumption at our Risda
Manufacturing Plant was 99.51%, 91.35% and 74.29% for three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscal 2018 and
2017, respectively.

Further, the proximity of our plants to key raw materials enables us to reduce our manufacturing costs. We
currently source all our limestone requirement from our Risda Mining Unit, which is adjacent to our Risda
Manufacturing Plant and we are also able to procure fly ash and coal from sources close to our plants.

our markets. According to the CRISIL Report, global cement production has been growing at a CAGR of
approximately 2% for the past five years and stood at approximately 4.2 billion MT during the calendar year 2017.
The Indian cement market is the second largest in the world after China and accounts for 294 to 296 MMTPA of
cement demand. Cement demand in India has grown at a CAGR of 4% to 5% over last five years, reaching 294
to 296 MMTPA in Fiscal 2018.

Cement demand in Eastern India (including North East), which accounted for 17% of the total demand in Fiscal

131
2013, accounted for 22% of total demand in India in Fiscal 2018. However, Eastern India (including North East)
still has the lowest per capital consumption of cement in India. In the long-term, cement demand in Eastern India
(including North East) is expected to outpace most other regions and grow at a CAGR of 7.5% to 8.5% between
Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2023. This would be largely backed by government induced spending on physical and
social infrastructure. Further, an uptick in infrastructure investments is also expected via key projects such as the
Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor in Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal; metro projects in Kolkata, Patna,
Ranchi; smart city related development in Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh; and several other
road and highway projects. Industrial demand is also expected to be healthy on account of investments by the
Government and private entities in the information technology, railway, power and steel sectors. (Source: CRISIL
Report) We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on such demand on account of our manufacturing
and distribution capabilities, access to raw materials and recognizable brand.

Grow and Optimize Existing Manufacturing Capacity

We are currently in the process of setting up the Kalinganagar Manufacturing Plant, which we expect would
commence commercial operations by April 2019. In September 2018, we acquired the Bhabua Manufacturing
Plant and are in the process of increasing its installed capacity to 1.80 MMTPA. We commenced commercial
production at this plant in September 2018 and plant to increase its capacity to 1.80 MMTPA by March 2019. As
of June 30, 2018, we had incurred capital expenditure of ₹ 4,112.12 million for these two plants. For our grinding
unit in Bhabua, Bihar that we recently acquired and commenced commercial operations at, we will apply our
management model and cement know-how in order to bring the acquired assets to operating standards similar to
our existing plants. We expect that our expansion plans will allow us to meet the anticipated increase in cement
demand in the future, enable us to supply growing markets more efficiently and drive profitability.

Our Risda Manufacturing Plant currently has an installed capacity of 3.20 MMTPA of clinker, which we intend
to expand to 5.00 MMTPA in the future. In addition, we are in the process of setting up a mineral dressing and
scrubbing system at our Risda Manufacturing Plant, which will enable us to recover a higher proportion of
limestone for the manufacture of clinker. Our operations team adopts best practices in line with industry standards
across our manufacturing plants and we intend to effectively manage our operations, maintain strict operational
controls and enhance customer service levels.

Promote Our Brand and Strengthen and Expand Distribution Network

Our brand is one of our key strengths and we believe that our customers and distributors associate our brand with
trusted and good quality products. We intend to continue to leverage the goodwill of our brand to differentiate us
from our competitors, enhance relationships with existing customers and seek new customers. We intend to
continue to use various media channels to promote our brands including placing advertisements and commercials
on television, newspapers, hoardings and on digital media.

We intend to strengthen and expand our distribution network to increase our sales volumes. While we currently
have a structured distribution network to cater to our retail and institutional customers, we constantly seek to grow
our product reach to under-penetrated geographies. We also seek to improve the penetration of our products in
markets in which we are currently present and widen the portfolio of our products available in those markets. As
part of our sales and distribution strategy, we continue to evaluate potential sales growth drivers for specific
products and regularly identify specific states and regions in India to focus our sales efforts. We intend to focus
on increasing the sales of our Subh Premium Slag Cement and Master Premium PPC Cement and increase sales
to retail customers, as we are able to realize higher margins for such products and through sales to retail customers.
We also intend to promote the sales of our products in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

We seek to add additional dealers and retailers to enhance our sales and distribution network and undertake
initiatives to strengthen our relationships with them by offering them sustainable business opportunities and
provide training and advice on marketing and sales techniques and inventory management. We are also focusing
on increasing customer awareness of our products by providing training and workshops for influencers such as
masons and civil engineers. We intend to educate retailers and end-consumers on our products’ attributes, with a
view to enhance brand value and be able to increase realizations for our products, thereby improving our margins.

Improve Cost Efficiency

We expect cost leadership to be a key enabler for us to increase the market share of our products and improve our
margins and we will continue to implement measures to reduce our operating costs and improve operational

132
efficiencies. We commissioned a railway siding at our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant in September 2018 and are
in the process of setting up a railway siding at our Risda Manufacturing Plant to reduce our transport costs. We
are also in the process of setting up additional clinker silos, additional truck loading machines and weigh bridges
to reduce the turnaround time of trucks, bulk cement loading systems and diesel generator sets. As of June 30,
2018, we had incurred capital expenditure of ₹ 1,095.54 million for setting up railway sidings at our Risda and
Panagarh Manufacturing Plants. We also intend to set up a rail siding at our Bhabua Manufacturing Plant. As the
number of our operational manufacturing plants increase, we will employ economies of scale to optimize our
costs. We will continue to evaluate our manufacturing and distribution costs and develop new cost-reduction
strategies, including shifting manufacturing between plants that have different costs in order to optimize
manufacturing levels as a result of eventual changes in demand. In order to increase our sales volumes, we have
engaged a leading consultancy firm and launched a project known as ‘Sprint’. Through this project, we seek to
increase sales volumes to our retail and institutional customers, improve logistics services, enhance core sale
processes and optimize costs.

Grow Through Acquisitions and Expand Operations to Other Geographies

We intend to continue to further expand our operations through the acquisition of companies or assets in high-
growth markets and we will evaluate such opportunities, keeping in view our strategy to grow and develop our
market share. For example, in September 2018, we acquired a grinding unit with an installed capacity of 0.60
MMTPA in Bhabua, Bihar and we are currently in the process of increasing its installed capacity to 1.80 MMTPA.
We continue to consider opportunities for inorganic growth, such as through mergers and acquisitions, if, among
other things, they are likely to:

 consolidate our market position;

 achieve operating leverage in key markets by unlocking potential efficiency and synergy benefits;

 increase our sales and distribution network; and

 strengthen our cost competitiveness in the market.

In addition, with a view to expand our geographic presence in India, we entered into a limestone mining lease in
Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. Further, we have obtained approvals for the mining plans submitted for two limestone
mines in Nagaur, Rajasthan and are awaiting execution of the mining leases. For further details of our mines, see
“-Raw Materials and Utilities - Limestone Supply and Reserves”. We have also purchased certain parcels of land
for the mine and setting up a plant in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh.

133
We market all our products under the brand ‘Emami Double Bull’. A brief description of our products is set
forth below:

Portland Pozzolona Cement: PPC is manufactured by synchronizing two-stage hydration process involving
clinker and pozzolanic material, resulting in a dense, gel-like formation. The use of high-quality ash as a
supplementary cementitious material in the manufacturing of PPC results not only in more durable and high-
performance concrete, but also in lower energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. PPC’s lower
permeability and lesser chemical reactivity leads to better performance as compared to OPC. PPC is widely used
in mass concrete works such as dams, spillways, retaining walls, all types of reinforced cement concrete (“RCC”)
work, underground structures, bridges, general building works and hydro-power stations.
Portland Slag Cement: PSC is created with a combination of slag with clinker and gypsum. It is made by
integrating clinker with superior granulated blast furnace slag that leads to granular consistency and creates a
cement that is resistant to chemical ingress. PSC is widely used in all types of residential, commercial and
industrial projects, dams and other mass concrete works, water retaining structures, concrete roads and flyovers,
and underground concrete.
Ordinary Portland Cement: OPC is made of ordinary clinker mixed with gypsum, and is graded on the basis of
its strength. Based on the compressive strength, OPC may further be classified as 43 Grade OPC and 53 Grade
OPC.

 43 Grade OPC: 43 Grade cement is widely used for all general and semi-specialized constructions such as
columns, beams, slabs and all structural works, manufacture of concrete blocks and tiles, brick and stone
masonry, plastering and flooring, plain and RCC, pre-cast, pre-stressed slip formed concrete jobs, and
commercial buildings, industrial constructions, multi- storied complexes, cement concrete roads and heavy
duty floors.

 53 Grade OPC: 53 Grade cement is manufactured using a specialized process that allows optimum
distribution of each particle, enabling superior crystalline structure and balanced composition. It gives high
strength and durability to structures. This grade of cement is widely used in residential construction,
commercial infrastructure, roads and highways, industrial plants, marine construction and plain and RCC
work.

Premium Portland Slag Cement: This is a premium product of our Company, which is manufactured with high
grade clinker and good quality ground granulated blast furnace slag enriched with glass content. The optimized
proportion of clinker and ground granulated blast furnace slag make it an all-weather cement ensuring advantages
related to both strength and durability. This grade of cement can be widely used in residential construction,
commercial infrastructure, roads and highways, industrial plants, marine construction and plain and RCC work.
The laminated polypropylene packaging makes it tamperproof, retains cements freshness over time and assures
right weight of cement bags.
Premium PPC: This cement has been designed as a premium PPC offering and provides enhanced durability,
strength and setting. The laminated polypropelene packaging makes it tamperproof, retains cements freshness
over time and assures the right weight of cement bags.
Composite cement: This cement is an interground mixture of portland cement clinker, granulated slag and fly ash
with addition of gypsum (natural and chemical), or an intimate and uniform blending of OPC, finely ground
granulated slag and fine fly ash with addition of ground gypsum, if required.

Cement Manufacturing Process

The following diagram sets forth an overview of our manufacturing process:

The major stages involved in our cement manufacturing process are described below:

Mining: Mining involves the extraction process of limestone, which is a principal raw material in cement
manufacturing. Naturally occurring calcareous deposits such as limestone provides calcium carbonate and is
extracted from our Risda Mining Unit. In the pre-operational phase, the prospecting process begins with mining
research and probing to identify the quality and quantity of limestone ore in the area. Once economic feasibility
is established, we begin planning the mining work to define the mining method, as well as the size and fleet of
vehicles to be deployed based on the rate of limestone production and quantum of development. Infrastructure
such as roads, offices, workshop for maintenance of heavy mining equipment, magazine building for explosive
storage, high speed diesel bunk to meet fuel requirement and limestone crusher with necessary ramp for the mining
operations are developed. In the operational phase, the blocks are marked and the holes are made with drill
machines. The holes are then loaded with explosives and detonated to blast the in-situ solid limestone to obtain
fragmented material, which is loaded by hydraulic shovels and excavators into the dumpers, and then transported
to the crushing system for size reduction.

Transportation: Limestone is transported by high capacity dumpers to our crushing units, where it is unloaded
into the dump hopper.

Primary Crushing: The primary crusher converts the rocks into small stones. The limestone blocks are are reduced
to fragments measuring approximately 75 mm. This crushed limestone is then transported to the cement plant by
covered conveyor belt.

Pre-homogenization of the limestone: Crushed limestone is stored at the plant in the form of a layered pile with
the help of stacker, where the first homogenization of the chemical composition of the stone is achieved. This
crushed limestone is then reclaimed with the help of a reclaimer for onward transportation to the cement plant by
conveyor belt. Clay and other additives are transported by truck to the plants. At the clinkerisation unit, additives
are blended with crushed limestone to reduce the variations in quality in order to obtain a homogenized mixture
of raw meal.

Grinding and Homogenization: The crushed pieces are then milled together to manufacture a powder called “raw
meal”. Subsequently, the raw meal is sent to a blending and storage silo. In the blending silo, homogenisation of
raw meal takes place with the help of aeriation, from where it is fed into the pre-heater.

138
 Burning of raw meal to produce clinker: A pre-heater is a series of vertical cyclones through which the raw meal
is passed. In these cyclones, thermal energy is recovered from the hot flue gases and the raw meal is preheated
before it enters the kiln, so the necessary chemical reactions occur faster and more efficiently. Calcination is the
decomposition of limestone to lime. Approximately 95% to 97% of the reaction takes place in the “pre-calciner”
and the remaining part in the kiln. Here, in this entire process, the chemical decomposition of limestone to lime is
found in the range of 63% to 64%. The pre-calcined meal then enters the kiln. Approximately 40% of the total
fuel is fired in kiln and the remaining 60% fuel is fired in pre-calciner to reach temperatures of up to 1,450 degrees
Celsius. The intense heat causes chemical and physical reactions that partially liquefies the meal to form a mixture
of calcium silicates and aluminium silicates, which is clinker in the form of nodules.

Cooling and final milling of clinker to manufacture cement: From the kiln, the hot clinker falls onto a grate cooler
where it is cooled to a temperature of approximately 100 to 120 degrees celsius by incoming cooling air. The
cooled material is called clinker. Clinker is then transported through a deep pan conveyor or deep bucket conveyor
to storage silo or gantry.

Cement Grinding: Traditionally, ball mills have been used for grinding, although more efficient technologies such
as roller presses and vertical roller mills are used in many modern plants today. The clinker and gypsum is fed to
cement mill through hollers and weigh feeders to manufacture OPC cement. The slag is added to clinker and
gypsum to make PSC cement. Fly ash is added to clinker and gypsum to make PPC cement. Such materials
(clinker, gypsum, fly ash and slag) are mixed in a certain ratio in accordance with quality requirements.

Storing and packing: The final product from the cement mill is transported through bucket elevators and air slides
and stored in cement silos. The packer capacity is decided as per plant capacity and number of products packed.
Laminated polypropelene bags are used for packing of cement. The bags are transported through belts to truck
loading or wagon loading machines for loading in trucks and wagons.

Cement dispatch: Cement is dispatched in bulk form through closed bulkers as well as in packed bags of 50 kgs.
Bulk cement is directly loaded from silo through bulk loading system.

Raw Materials and Utilities

The principal raw materials that we use to manufacture cement are limestone, iron ore, coal, chemical gypsum,
fly ash and slag. We transport raw materials to our plants via road or rail.
Limestone Supply and Reserves
Limestone is the main raw material required in the manufacturing of cement.
We entered into a mining lease for an area measuring 395.05 hectares located in Kukurdih and Risda villages
district Baloda Bazar - Bhatapara in the state of Chhattisgarh. The mining lease was granted to our Company on
September 8, 2009 by the state government of Chhattisgarh and is valid until September 7, 2059. The table below
shows the reserves at this area pursuant to an approved mining plan prepared by Sripad Pujar and B.V.R. Achar
dated July 2016, based on a report prepared by Synergy Geotech Private Limited under the United Nations
Framework Classification in August 2014:

(In MMT)
Category of Reserve Cement Grade of Low Grade of Total Reserve
Limestone Limestone*
Proved Reserves 146.83 71.95 218.78
Probable Reserves 8.45 11.86 20.31
Total Reserves 155.28 83.81 239.09
* Limestoneis categorized as low grade when it comprises Calcium Oxide in the range of 34% to 42.5%, while it is categorized
as cement grade when it comprises Calcium Oxide above 42.5%.

We have recently engaged a mining expert to determine the current reserves at such area.

We prepared and submitted a mining plan to the Indian Bureau of Mines, Government of India for mining
limestone from this area, which was approved by the Indian Bureau of Mines on August 5, 2016 and subsequently
a modified mining plan was approved on October 6, 2017. In accordance with the approved mining plan, we are
permitted to mine up to 5.00 MMTPA of limestone. This mine area is in close proximity to our Risda

139
Manufacturing Plant and limestone is transported to our integrated plant from the mining area by covered
conveyor belts. At such area, we operate a fully mechanized open cast mine and are able to extract sufficient
quantities of limestone for our current clinker production requirements. We commenced mining at this area in
June 2016, and extracted 0.99 MMT and 3.17 MMT of limestone in Fiscals 2017 and 2018, respectively. During
the five months ended August 31, 2018, we extracted 1.82 MMT of limestone from such area.

With a view to expand our geographic presence in India, we have entered into a limestone mining lease for 521.69
hectares located in Tangeda village of district Guntur in the state of Andhra Pradesh with the state government of
Andhra Pradesh. The mining lease was executed on August 1, 2018 and is valid until July 31, 2068. A majority
of the land in the Guntur Mining Unit is owned by us. Under the United Nations Framework Classification, such
area had proved reserves of 35.36 MMT and probable reserves of 26.99 MMT based on a mining plan prepared
by Global Environment and Mining Services, as of September 2014 which was based on a report prepared by
Synergy Geotech Private Limited in August 2013, which plan was approved by the Indian Bureau of Mines in
October 2014. While we have obtained of the environmental clearance from the MoEFCC for mining at such area,
we have not commenced any mining of limestone.

Further, our Company participated in an open auction and was issued letters of intent by the state government of
Rajasthan for two limestone blocks. The first letter of intent was issued on November 2, 2016 and relates to a
mining area comprising 247.87 hectares located in the Deh and Sarasani villages of district Nagaur in the state of
Rajasthan. Under the United Nations Framework Classification, such area had 130.44 MMT of probable reserves
based on a mining plan prepared by Shailendra Singh Bist on behalf of Udaipur Min-Tech Private Limited which
was based on a report prepared by the state government of Rajasthan, which plan was approved by the Indian
Bureau of Mines, Government of India in April 2017. The second letter of intent was issued on April 13, 2017
and relates to a mining area comprising 267.63 hectares located in Deh village of district Nagaur in the state of
Rajasthan. Under the United Nations Framework Classification, such area had 86.77 MMT of probable reserves
based on a mining plan prepared by S.K. Soni, which plan was approved by the Indian Bureau of Mines,
Government of India in August 2017. We have not yet purchased any land underlying such letters of intent but
have made applications for transfer of certain parcels of land to our Company.

The proved and probable reserve estimates may be different from the amount of limestone that can extracted from
our mining areas. See “Risk Factors - Internal Risk Factors - The limestone reserve data in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus are only estimates and our actual production with respect to our reserves may differ from
such estimates” on page 28.

Iron ore: Iron ore is used as an additive to limestone to achieve desired chemical composition in the raw meal.
We currently procure iron ore from Raipur by placing purchase orders periodically.
Gypsum: Gypsum is added as a retarding agent to control the setting time for cement. We import gypsum and also
procure it from the Coromandel International Limited in Andhra Pradesh.
Fly Ash: Fly ash is a by-product of the coal burning process at thermal power plants. We have entered into
contracts, which typically range between one to five years, to source our fly ash requirement from thermal power
plants located within a radius of 150 kms from our Risda Manufacturing Plant and have also entered into similar
arrangements for our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant.
Pet Coke. Pet coke is used as a fuel in the kiln to make clinker from ground limestone. We currently procure
domestic as well as imported pet coke.
Slag: Slag is a by-product of the steel manufacturing process. We source our slag requirement from Chhattisgarh.
Others materials: Additives such as bauxite are also required for the manufacture of OPC and PPC in small
quantities, which we purchase from Daldali in Chhattisgarh.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018 and 2017, our cost of materials consumed (net of
change in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress) was ₹ 956.57 million, ₹ 1,397.11 million, and ₹
247.40 million, or expressed as a percentage of our revenue from operations (net of excise duty expenses, if any)
was 21.08%, 14.34% and 14.90%, respectively.
Coal: Coal is primarily used as fuel in the kiln and calciner during the process of cement manufacturing. We have
entered into fuel supply agreements for a period of five years for the procurement of coal in Chhattisgarh and we
also procure coal from the open market.

140
Our manufacturing operations require a significant amount of power and water. We source almost all of our
electrical energy requirement for our Risda Manufacturing Plant from the captive power plant and waste heat
recovery system and are also connected to the state electricity grid. We source our electrical energy requirements
for our other plants from state electricity grids. We source water for our operations from ground water through
tube wells and borewells.

In order to increase our sales volumes, we have engaged a leading consultancy firm and launched a project known
as ‘Sprint’. Through this project, we seek to increase sales volumes to our retail and institutional customers,
improve logistics services, enhance core sale processes and optimize costs. We plan to achieve our goals through
several initiatives including conducting periodic review meetings, granular planning and tracking across business
functions, empowering our middle management team and setting continuous improvement targets.

We have also set up eight impact centers in the states of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar and West Bengal
to assist us in maximizing our sales volumes. At these centers, we monitor the sale of our products by dealers,
coordinate our marketing, business development, logistics and finance functions, escalate certain maters to our
head office and focus on increasing our distribution network.

We also organize meetings for our dealers every month to strengthen their relationship with their influencers. We
work with our dealers to help them set monthly sales targets and support them to achieve such targets. One of our
dealer initiatives, ‘Double Bull Battle Ground’, emphasizes on channel management and channel engagement.
We engage with influencers and our channel partners through activities such as group meetings for dealers, annual
dealer conferences and retailer engagement programs.

 KEY REGULATIONS AND POLICIES IN INDIA

The following is an overview of certain key laws and regulations in India which are applicable to the operations
of our Company. The information available in this section has been obtained from various legislations, rules and
regulations made thereunder and other regulatory requirements available in the public domain. The description
of the applicable laws and regulations set out below may not be exhaustive and is only intended to provide general
information to the investors and is neither designed nor intended to substitute professional legal advice. The
statements below are based on the current provisions of the Indian law and the judicial, regulatory and
administrative interpretations thereof, which are subject to change or modification by subsequent legislative
actions, regulatory, administrative, quasi-judicial, or judicial decisions.

A. SPECIFIC LAWS GOVERNING THE CEMENT MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS

Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016

The Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016 (the “BIS Act”) provides for the establishment of the Bureau of Indian
Standards (the “BIS”) for the development of activities of standardization, conformity assessment and quality
certification of goods, articles, processes, systems and services. The BIS Act provides for the functions of the BIS
which includes, among others, to (a) publish, establish and promote Indian standards; (b) specify as Indian
standard, any standard, established by any other institution in India or elsewhere, in relation to article or process;
(c) undertake research for formulation of Indian standards. The BIS Act empowers the Central Government to
order the compulsory use of standard mark for any goods or article if it finds it expedient to do so in public interest
or for the protection of plant, animal or human health or for the safety of the environment. The BIS Act also
provides the penalties in case there is a contravention of the provisions of the BIS Act. The penalties for using a
standard mark, which include, selling, importing, exhibiting or manufacturing an article without a license from
the BIS, ranges from a fine of ₹ 500,000 or five times the value of the goods produced or sold, to imprisonment
for a term of one year.

Cement (Quality Control) Order, 2003

The Cement (Quality Control) Order, 2003, has been framed under the BIS Act, and prohibits the sale,
manufacture, storage for sale and distribution of cement, which does not meet the quality requirements prescribed
under the BIS Act. It requires a manufacturer of cement to make an application to the BIS for obtaining a license
to use the standard mark. A manufacturing company is required to apply for this license prior to commencement
of production. The primary parameter considered for the purposes of granting this license is whether the cement
sought to be manufactured or sold, conforms to the recognized standard under the BIS Act. Further, in the event
that the cement manufactured by the company ceases to conform to the standards prescribed under the BIS Act,
such license may be cancelled.

Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951

The Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951 (the “IDRA Act”) provides for the development and
regulation of certain scheduled industries, which are controlled and monitored by the Central Government. The
IDRA Act was amended by way of a notification dated July 25, 1991 pursuant to which, all industrial
undertakings, except for certain industries specifically mentioned therein, have been exempted from procuring a
license to carry on their business activities. In terms of this notification, the cement industry has been exempted
by the Central Government from obtaining an industrial license. However, the exempted industrial undertaking
is required to file an Industrial Entrepreneurs Memorandum with the Secretariat of Industrial Assistance,
Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India.
Accordingly, our Company has filed Industrial Entrepreneurs Memorandum with the state governments of
Odisha, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal

Cement Control Order, 1967

The Cement Control Order 1967, as amended, (the “Cement Control Order”) issued in terms of the IDRA Act
requires manufacturers of cement to, among others, maintain books relating to production, removal, sale and
transport of cement by the manufacturer and furnish information relating to the business as may be specified by
the Central Government. The Cement Control Order requires the maintenance of a cement regulation account by
the Development Commissioner for the Cement Industry. Each manufacturer of cement has to provide the
prescribed amount, towards the cement regulation account, in order to avail of freight subsidy provided by the

147
Central Government. The amount credited in this account is to be used, among others, for reimbursing the
manufacturer towards equalizing freight or concession in export price.

B. SPECIFIC LAWS GOVERNING LIMESTONE MINING OPERATIONS:

The Central Government has the power to regulate mines and mineral development under entry 54 of list-I of the
seventh schedule to the Constitution of India to the extent that such regulation and development is declared by the
parliament by law to be expedient in the public interest. The state governments have been given powers under
entry-23 of list-II of the seventh schedule to the Constitution of India to regulate mines and mineral development
subject to the Central Government’s power under entry 54 of list-I thereof.
(a) Laws governing procurement, renewal, transfer and termination of mining lease:
Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulations) Act, 1957

The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulations) Act, 1957 (the “MMDR Act”) prohibits any person
from undertaking any mining operations, including mining operations in respect of limestone, without obtaining
a mining lease from the relevant state government.. The mining lease is required to be renewed from time to time
based on the conditions set out in such mining lease. The MMDR Act lays down the terms for granting a mining
lease, which includes, among others (i) the time period of the lease, being upto a maximum period of 50 years in
case of limestone mines; (ii) the maximum area to be covered by one or more mining leases within a state, being
upto 10 square kilometres in case of limestone mines; and (iii) the conditions for termination of the lease, by the
central or state governments, which includes among others, preservation of natural environment, conservation of
mineral resources, avoidance of danger to public health or public communications as deemed fit by the Central
Government in consultation with the state government. Under the MMDR Act, the Central Government and the
state governments have been empowered to regulate the conduct of a lessee, in particular, the imposition of fines
or restrictions, the revocation of mining rights or variation in the amount of royalty payable, as deemed fit by the
Central Government, in order to promote the conservation and systematic development of minerals, and protection
of the natural environment.

During the term of the mining lease, the lessee is required to pay royalty or dead rent, whichever is higher, to the
state government. Additionally, mining rights are subject to compliance with terms and conditions specified under
the Mineral Auction Rules as defined hereinafter and the Mineral Conservation and Development Rules, 2017.

Minerals (Evidence of Mineral Contents) Rules, 2015

The Minerals (Evidence of Mineral Contents) Rules, 2015 (the “Mineral Evidence Rules”) draw mainly from
the United Nations Framework Classification (UNFC) for energy and mineral resources, and were introduced
under the MMDR Act to regulate the parameters of existence of mineral contents, for the grant of reconnaissance
permits, prospecting licenses and mining leases in respect of minerals.

In terms of the Mineral Evidence Rules, persons holding a prospecting license or reconnaissance permit, desirous
of obtaining a mining lease are required to establish the existence of mineral contents by carrying out a general
exploration over the area to determine the indicated mineral resource by identifying the main geological features
of a deposit, giving a reasonable indication of continuity and providing an initial estimate of size, shape, structure
and grade (the “General Exploration”’), and prepare a pre-feasibility report, identifying the economically viable
mineral reserves forming a part of the indicated mineral resource, containing details of the mining operation to be
conducted over a period of five years from the commencement of the mining lease, and determining the preferred
mining method. For the purposes of mining leases granted through an auction process, the existence of minerals
contents is determined on the basis of a General Exploration over the area, and a geological study which identifies
the mineralization, quantity and continuity of the mineral resource, quality of the mineral deposit and its potential
as an investment opportunity.

Mineral Auction Rules, 2015

The Mineral Auction Rules, 2015 (the “Mineral Auction Rules”) were introduced under the MMDR Act to
regulate the grant of mining leases for minerals, including limestone.

In terms of the Mineral Auction Rules, persons desirous of conducting mining operations are required to bid for
the mineral in an auction process conducted by the state government. The preferred bidder, decided through the
auction process shall receive a letter of intent from the state government, conveying its intention to grant the

148
bidder with a mining lease. Upon completion of the conditions mentioned under the Mineral Auction Rules, which
include, the payment of first and second instalment of the bid amount, furnishing performance security, the
submission of a mining plan to the state government and its subsequent approval, the bidder will be considered
‘successful’. Thereafter, a mining lease deed is executed in favour of such bidder by the state government.

Mineral (Other than Atomic and Hydro Carbons Energy Minerals) Concession Rules, 2016

The Mineral Concession Rules, 2016 (the “Mineral Concession Rules”) lay down the procedures to be followed

Each state government may enact rules in respect of registration and operation of factories. In order to commence
operations as a factory, prior approval for the plan of the factory is required. Once the factory plan has been
approved by the state inspector of factories, the factory is required to register itself with the respective state factory
department. On receipt of the factory plan and subsequent registration, an application for a license to work a
factory must be made to the state factory department. The Factories Act provides that an occupier of a factory, i.e.
the person who has ultimate control over the affairs of the factory and in the case of a company, any one of the
directors, must ensure the health, safety and welfare of all workers. There is a prohibition on employing children
below the age of 14 years in a factory. The Factories Act also provides for imposition of fines and imprisonment
of the manager and occupier of the factory in case of any contravention of the provisions of the Factories Act.

Environmental laws
The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 read with Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 aims to protect and
improve the environment and provide rules for prevention, control and abatement of environment pollution and
impose obligations for proper handling and disposal of hazardous wastes.
The Environment Impact Assessment Notification S.O. 1533(E), 2006
The Environment Impact Assessment Notification S.O. 1533(E), 2006 (the “EIA Notification”) issued under the
Environment Protection Act, 1986 and the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986, as amended, provides that the
prior approval of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, GoI, for mining operations, or the
State Environment Impact Assessment Authority, for manufacturing operations, is required for the establishment
of any new project and for the expansion or modernisation of existing projects specified in the notification. In
terms of the EIA Notification, the process of obtaining an environmental clearance has a maximum of four stages,
i.e., screening, scoping, public consultation and appraisal.
An application for obtaining an environmental clearance is made after the identification of prospective site(s) for
the unit and/or activities to which the application relates but before commencing any construction activity, or
preparation of land, at the site by the applicant. Cement manufacturing projects which require approval from the
State Environment Impact Assessment Authority do not require an Environment Impact Assessment Report.
However, mining projects which require preparation of an Environment Impact Assessment Report, involve
public consultation, which include both public hearing and written response, and is conducted by the state
pollution control board. The appropriate authority makes an appraisal of the project only after a final Environment
Impact Assessment report is submitted addressing the questions raised in the public consultation process.
The prior environmental clearance granted for a project or activity is valid for a maximum period of 30 years for
mining projects and five years in the case of all other projects and activities, including cement manufacturing
units. This period of validity may be extended by the concerned regulatory authority by a maximum period of five
years.
Further, in the event of expansion or enhancement of capacity for the mining and manufacturing operations, as
applicable, environmental clearance is required to be sought from the relevant authority. However, at the time of
renewing a mining lease, environmental clearance is not required so long as there is no increase in the originally
sanctioned lease area and/or production.
The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act,
1974 and the Hazardous Wastes (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016
These laws aim to prevent, control and abate pollution. The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981
(the “Air Act”), stipulates that no person shall, without prior written consent of the relevant state pollution control
board, establish or operate any industrial plant which emits air pollutants in an air pollution control area, as notified
by the state pollution control board. The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 (the “Water
Act”) aims to prevent and control water pollution and to maintain or restore the wholesomeness of the water and
any person intending to establish any industry, operation or process or any treatment and disposal system which
is likely to discharge sewage or trade effluent into a water body is required to obtain prior consent of the relevant
state pollution control board.
Therefore, in order to commence construction on any project, including, a manufacturing and mining unit, prior
consent in the form of a consent to establish is required from the state pollution control board under the Air Act
and Water Act. Upon receipt of the consent to establish, in order to commence operations at the establishment, a
consent to operate must be obtained from the state pollution control board under the Air Act and Water Act.
The Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 (the “Hazardous
Waste Rules”) regulate the management, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste by imposing an

Proposed scheme of demerger

Our Board and the board of directors of Emami Power Limited (“Emami Power”), one of our Group Companies
and member of our Promoter Group, pursuant to resolutions dated February 26, 2018 and March 5, 2018,
respectively have approved a scheme of demerger under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act 2013 (the
“Demerger Scheme” and such demerger, the “Proposed Demerger”). The Demerger Scheme contemplates that
the solar power business of the Company comprising a (i)10MW solar power plant located at Plot No. 95 and 96,
Gujarat Solar Park, Taluka 96, Santalpur, District Patan, Gujarat, India and (ii) 3 MW solar power plant located
at Village Perunali, Taluka Kamuthi, District Ramanathpuram, Tamil Nadu, India including all its properties,
assets, liabilities, duties, obligations, debts, tenancy rights, approvals and registrations will be demerged and
transferred to and will vest with Emami Power as a going concern (the “Solar Power Business”) . The Demerger
Scheme provides that the transfer of the Solar Power Business will become effective from the appointed date,
being April 1, 2018, or such other date as may be decided by the board of directors of our Company and Emami
Power and as may be directed or approved by the National Company Law Tribunal, Kolkata, India (the
“Appointed Date”). The Demerger Scheme states that it has been drawn up to comply with the conditions relating

stand modified to the extent required for compliance. Our Company and Emami Power have filed the Demerger
Scheme before the National Company Law Tribunal, Kolkata, India on July 9, 2018.

Rationale for the Demerger Scheme

Our Company is primarily engaged in and focused on the business of cement manufacturing. The Solar Power
Business is a small ancillary business activity that has been undertaken by the Company. In Fiscal 2018, the
revenues from the Solar Power Business accounted for ₹ 266.85 million, constituting 2.65% of our revenues for
Fiscal 2018. Accordingly, Proposed Demerger is being undertaken with a view to consolidate the power
production business in Emami Power while allowing our Company to focus on its cement manufacturing
operations, and facilitating, among others, focused strategy, operational efficiency, synergistic benefits,
economies of scale and scope for independent expansion for our Company and Emami Power.

(a) Basis of Preparation

The Restated Financial Information have been prepared by the management in connection with the proposed listing of equity shares

March 2016, 31st March 2017, 31st March 2018 and 30th June, 2018 , which is to be filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Board of India ("SEBI"), the Registrar of Companies, West Bengal at Kolkata, and the concerned Stock Exchanges in
accordance with the requirements of:

a) Section 26 of the Companies Act, 2013; and

(b) The SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2009 issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India
("SEBI") on August 26, 2009, as amended from time to time read along with the SEBI circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL/CIR/P/2016/47
dated March 31, 2016 (together referred to as the “SEBI Regulations”).

c) Guidance Note on Reports in Company Prospectuses (Revised 2016) issued by the ICAI.

These Restated Financial Information and Other Financial Information have been extracted by the Management from the Audited
Financial Statements and :-

there were no audit qualifications on these financial statements,

• there were no changes in accounting policies during the years of these financial statements,
• material amounts relating to adjustments for previous years in arriving at profit/loss of the years to which they relate, have been
appropriately adjusted,
• adjustments for reclassification of the corresponding items of income, expenses, assets and liabilities, in order to bring them in line
with the groupings as per the Audited Financial Statements of the Company as at June 30, 2018 and the requirements of the SEBI
Regulations, and
• the resultant tax impact on above adjustments has been appropriately adjusted in deferred tax in the respective years and the impact
of current tax in respect of short/excess income tax arising out of assessments, appeals, revised income tax returns, etc., has been
adjusted in the current tax of respective years to which they relate.
• the Restated Financial Information is presented in Indian Rupees, rounded off to nearest million, except per share data, Face value
of Equity Share and expressly stated otherwise.

212
Compliance with Ind AS
The financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended by companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment) Rules, 2016, the
relevant provisions of Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees and all values are rounded to the nearest millions, except otherwise indicated.

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
(i) Derivative Financial Instruments measured at fair value

(ii) Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments) and
(iii) Employee’s Defined Benefit Plan as per actuarial valuation.

(b) Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or
transfer the liability takes place either:

In the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset
or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by
using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best
use.

The company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value
hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or
indirectly observable

Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the company determines whether transfers
have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period or each case.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

This note summarizes accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.
Disclosures for valuation methods, significant estimates and assumptions.
Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy.
Investment in unquoted equity shares.
Financial instruments.

213
(c) Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as
current when it is:
· Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
· Held primarily for the purpose of trading
· Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
· Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:
· It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

· It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

· It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

· There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The
Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

Recognition

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortization and impairment, if any. Freehold land is
disclosed at cost less impairment, if any. Cost comprises of purchase price and directly attributable cost of acquisition/ bringing the
asset to its working condition for its intended use (net of credit availed, if any).

Capital work in progress, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if
any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects
if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company
depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised
in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and
maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the
decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are
met. Material items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and service equipment are classified as PPE when they meet the definition
of PPE as specified in Ind AS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment.

De-recognition

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognized upon disposal or when no
future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as
the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the
asset is derecognized.

Mining Development

The costs of mining properties, which include the costs of developing mining properties and mineral rights, are capitalised as
property, plant and equipment under the heading “Mining Development” in the year in which they are incurred.

When a decision is taken that a mining property is viable for commercial production (i.e. when the company determines that the
mining property will provide sufficient and sustainable return relative to the risks and the company decided to proceed with the mine
development), all further pre-production primary development expenditure other than land, buildings, plant and equipment is
capitalised as part of the cost of the mining property until the mining property is capable of commercial production.

214
Exploration and evaluation assets are recognized as assets at their cost of acquisition, subject to meeting the commercial production
criteria as above and are subject to impairment review on annual basis, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist.

The stripping cost incurred during the production phase of a surface mine is deferred to the extent the current period stripping cost
exceeds the average period stripping cost over the life of mine and recognized as an asset if such cost provides a benefit in terms of
improved access to ore in future periods and certain criteria are met. When the benefit from the stripping costs are realised in the
current period, the stripping costs are accounted for as the cost of inventory. If the costs of inventory produced and the stripping
activity asset are not separately identifiable, a relevant production measure is used to allocate the production stripping costs between
the inventory produced and the stripping activity asset. The Company uses the expected volume of waste compared with the actual
volume of waste extracted for a given value of ore production for the purpose of determining the cost of the stripping activity asset.

Deferred stripping cost are included in mining properties within property, plant and equipment and disclosed as a part of mining
properties. After initial recognition, the stripping activity asset is depreciated on a unit of production method over the expected useful
life of the identified component of the ore body.

In circumstance, where a property is abandoned, the cumulative capitalized costs relating to the property are written off in the same
period.

(e) Depreciation

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of PPE over its useful life and is provided on a straight-line basis
over the useful lives as prescribed in Schedule II to the Act or as per technical assessment.

Depreciable amount for PPE is the cost of PPE less its estimated residual value. The useful life of PPE is the period over which PPE
is expected to be available for use by the Company, or the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the
asset by the Company.

The Company has componentised its PPE and has separately assessed the life of major components.

In case of certain classes of PPE, the Company uses different useful lives than those prescribed in Schedule II to the Act. The useful
lives have been assessed based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the PPE and the estimated usage of the asset on
the basis of management’s best estimation of obtaining economic benefits from those classes of assets.

Depreciation on additions is provided on a pro-rata basis from the month of installation or acquisition and in case of Projects from the
date of commencement of commercial production. Depreciation on deductions/disposals is provided on a pro-rata basis up to the
month preceding the month of deduction/disposal.

Useful Life of tangible assets

Class of Assets Useful life of the asset (Years)
Leasehold land 87 to 99
Buildings 3 to 60
Plant&Machinery 0 to 40
Motor Vehicles 03 to 15
Furniture and Fixture 01 to 15
Office Equipment 03 to 20
Mining Development 05 to 25
Computers Software 06
Mining rights 50

215
(f) Intangible assets
Recognition
Intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life or units of production method and assessed for
impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of
each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits
embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in
accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss
unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

Computer Software

The Company has capitalised computer software in the nature of software licenses as intangible assets and the cost of software is
amortized over the license period of six years, being their expected useful economic life.

Mining rights

Costs associated with acquiring mining rights are capitalised as incurred. Mining rights controlled by the company are recognised as
intangible assets.

Amortisation methods and periods

The company amortises mining rights with a finite useful life using the straight line method over the period of 50 years as per
agreement dated 8th September, 2009 entered into with the Chhattisgarh Government.

The company amortises software licenses with a finite useful life using the straight line method over the period of 6 years.

On the other hand, Company amortises the mines development cost on the basis of units of production method. The method is applied
consistently from period to period unless there is a change in the expected pattern of consumption of those future economic benefits.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

(g) Expenditure during construction period

Expenditure/ Income during construction period (including financing cost related to borrowed funds for construction or acquisition of
qualifying PPE) is included under Capital Work-in-Progress, and the same is allocated to the respective PPE on the completion of
their construction. Advances given towards acquisition or construction of PPE outstanding at each reporting date are disclosed as
Capital Advances under “Other non-current Assets”.

(h) Impairment of Non-financial assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. If any
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value
in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely
independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable
amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

216
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs
of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model
is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other
available fair value indicators.

The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each
of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period
of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To
estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the Company extrapolates cash flow
projections in the budget using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an increasing rate can be justified. In any
case, this growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the market in which the asset is used.

Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the statement of Profit and Loss,
except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation surplus taken to OCI. For such properties, the impairment is recognised
in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation surplus.

After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

The impairment assessment for all assets is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously
recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or CGU’s
recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to
determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying
amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit
or loss.

(i) Inventories

Inventories are valued as follows:

Raw materials, fuel, stores & spare parts and packing materials:

Valued at lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV). However, these items are considered to be realisable at cost, if the finished
products, in which they will be used, are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

Work-in- progress (WIP), finished goods, stock-in-trade and trial run inventories:
Valued at lower of cost and NRV. Cost of Finished goods and WIP includes cost of raw materials, cost of conversion and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of inventories is computed on weighted average
basis.

Waste / Scrap:
Waste / Scrap inventory is valued at NRV.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.

(j) Borrowing costs

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset
are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale and borrowing
costs are being incurred. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended
use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is
deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are
incurred.

217
(k) Government Grant

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and
the company will comply with all attached conditions there to.

Government grant relating to income are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the
costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.

Government grants relating to purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and
are credited to profit or loss on the basis of depreciation policy followed by the company for the related assets and presented within
other income.

(l) Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not
recognised for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation
at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is
recognised as interest expense.

A present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle
or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are also disclosed
when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non -
occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.

Claims against the Company where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent
liabilities.

Contingent assets are not recognised in financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be
realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognised.

(m) Mining Restoration Provision

An obligation for restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs arises when environmental disturbance is caused by the
development or ongoing extraction from mines. Costs arising from restoration at closure of the mines and other site preparation work
are provided for based on their discounted net present value, with a corresponding amount being capitalised at the start of each
project. The amount provided for is recognised, as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. These costs are charged to the
Statement of Profit and Loss over the life of the operation through the depreciation of the asset and the unwinding of the discount on
the provision. The cost are reviewed periodically and are adjusted to reflect known developments which may have an impact on the
cost or life of operations. The cost of the related asset is adjusted for changes in the provision due to factors such as updated cost
estimates, new disturbance and revisions to discount rates. The adjusted cost of the asset is depreciated prospectively over the lives of
the assets to which they relate. The unwinding of the discount is shown as a finance cost in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(n) Foreign currency transactions

Items included in the financial statements of each of the company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (₹), which
is Emami Cement Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss.

218
Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the statement of profit and loss, within
finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit and loss on a net basis within other
gains/ (losses).

Under previous GAAP, from accounting periods commencing on or after 1 April 2011, exchange differences arising on translation/
settlement of long‐term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the acquisition of a depreciable asset were adjusted to the cost
of the asset. In accordance with MCA circular dated 09 August 2012, exchange differences adjusted to the cost of Property, plant &
equipment are total differences, arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the acquisition of a depreciable
asset, for the period. In other words, the Company does not differentiate between exchange differences arising from foreign currency
borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost and other exchange difference. Such exchange
differences arising on translation/ settlement of long term foreign currency monetary items and pertaining to the acquisition of a
depreciable asset were amortised over the remaining useful lives of the assets. The Company has elected to continue with the said
policy on exchange differences arising on long term foreign currency monetary items existing on 31 March 2016 as allowed under Ind
AS 101.

(o) Revenue recognition

The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits
will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the company’s activities as described below. The company bases
its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and specifies of each
arrangement.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivables. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of
excise duty and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, value added taxes and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Timing of recognition – The Company manufactures and sells Clinker and Cement and generates Solar Power which are sold and
referred to as products. Sales are recognised when products are delivered to the customers. Delivery occurs when the products have
been shipped to the special location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to customers, and either the customers
has accepted the products in accordance with the sales arrangements.

Measurement of revenue – The Products are often sold with discounts and customers have a right to return faulty products. Revenue
from sales is based on the current prevailing prices at the time of sales, net of the discounts and returns.

Interest Income

For all debt instruments measured either at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is
recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts
over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial
asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected
cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar
options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of profit and
loss.

Interest income on fixed deposits is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the
applicable interest rate.

Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised at the time when right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when the shareholders
approve the dividend.

(p) Leases

At the inception of a lease, the lease arrangement is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease, based on the substance of
the lease arrangement.

219
1) Finance Lease

Leases of property, plant & equipment where the Company, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property. The
corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings or other financial liabilities as appropriate. Each
lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period
so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

2) Operating Lease

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified
as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the
lease unless the payments are structured to increase in the line with the expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s
expected inflationary cost increases.

(q) Income Tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable
income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities (including MAT) attributable to
temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that
have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred
income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting
date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and
when the deferred tax balances relate to same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a
legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Tax credit is recognized in respect of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in terms of section 115 JAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961
based on convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax within statutory time frame and the same is reviewed at
each balance sheet date.

(r) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call
with the financial institutions, other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less (except the
instruments which are pledged) that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

(s) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less provision for impairment.

220
(t) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instruments.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement: Financial Assets

The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income
(“FVOCI”) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) on the basis of following:
• entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and
• contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Amortised Cost

A financial asset shall be classified and measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
• financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows
and
• contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on
the principal amount outstanding.

Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income

A financial asset shall be classified and measured at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met:

• financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling
financial assets and
• contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on
the principal amount outstanding.

Fair Value through Profit or Loss

A financial asset shall be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortised cost or at fair
value through OCI.

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the
classification of the financial assets.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement: Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or ‘other financial liabilities’.

Financial Liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is held for trading or are designated upon initial recognition
as FVTPL:

Gains or Losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Other Financial Liabilities

Other financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense
over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees
and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts)
through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial
recognition.

221
Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. The
Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial asset. In case of trade receivables, the Company follows
the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 – Financial Instruments for recognition of impairment loss allowance. The
application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. The Company calculates the expected
credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix on the basis of its historical credit loss experience.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers
the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither
transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company
recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial
asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the
consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on
disposal of that financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Company retains an option to repurchase part of a
transferred asset), the Company allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise
under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of
the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the
consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in
other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss
on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated
between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of
those parts.

(u) Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments viz. foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign
exchange rate risks. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured
to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

(v) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right
to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.

(w) Employee benefits

(i) Short term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the
end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of
the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented
as current employee benefits obligations in the balance sheet.

222
(ii) Compensated absence

Liability in respect of compensated absences becoming due or expected to be availed within one year from the balance sheet date is
recognised on the basis of undiscounted value of estimated amount required to be paid or estimated value of benefit expected to be
availed by the employees. Liability in respect of compensated absences becoming due or expected to be availed more than one year
after the balance sheet date is estimated on the basis of an actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary using the projected
unit credit method. The Company presents the entire leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, since it does not have an
unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date.

(iii) Post-employment obligations

The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined
benefit obligations at the end of the reporting period. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the
projected unit credit method.

Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the
period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of
changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised
immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

(iv) Defined contribution plans

The company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The company has
not further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution
plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an
asset to the extent that a cash refund or reduction in the future payments is available.

(x) Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur
expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions for
which discrete financial information is available. Based on the management approach as defined in Ind AS 108, the chief operating
decision maker evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators
by business segments and geographic segments.

(y) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of financial year which are
unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within the credit period allowed. Trade and other payables are presented as
current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. Long term trade payables are recognised
initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(z) Borrowings

Borrowings are measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption
amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using effective interest method. Fees paid on the
establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the
facility will be drawn down. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down,
the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the reporting period. Where there is a breach of a material provision of a long-term loan arrangement on or
before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on the reporting date, the entity
does not classify the liability as current, if the lender agreed, after the reporting period and before the approval of the financial
statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach.

223
(aa) Measurement of EBITDA
The Company has elected to present earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as a separate line item on
the face of the statement of profit and loss. The Company measures EBITDA on the basis of profit/ (loss) from continuing operations.
In its measurement, the company does not include depreciation and amortization expense, finance income, finance costs, and tax
expense.

(bb) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
· The profit attributable to owners of the company
· By the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity
shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
· The after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
· The weighted average number of additional equity shares that would been outstanding.

Description of Risk Exposures

Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework which may vary overtime. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit
which are as follows:

Interest Rate Risk: The interest rate used for discounting of obligations may vary consequent to which the obligations will increase on reduction of interest rates and vice versa.

Liquidity Risk : This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity payouts. This may arise due to non-availability of enough cash / cash equivalent or holding of liquid assets not being sold in time
to meet the liabilities.

Salary Escalation Risk : The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future used to determine the present value of
obligation will have a bearing on the company's liability.

Demographic Risk : The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the
assumption.

Regulatory Risk : Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act , 1972(as amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts
(e.g. Increase in the maximum limit on gratuity of ₹ 20,00,000).

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The Company has established the following fair value hierarchy that categorises the values into 3 levels. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of financial instruments are:

Level 1 : Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes mutual funds and derivatives that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the
stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing Net Asset Value.

Level 2 : The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity
specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Level 3 : If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset
included in level 3.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

(a) The fair values of the units of mutual fund schemes are based on net asset value at the reporting date.

(b) The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is calculated as the present value determined using forward exchange rates of the respective currencies.

(c) The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to short term nature.

(d) The fair values for loans, retention money and security deposits were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to
the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

(e) The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowings rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs,
including own credit risk.

Note-42. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations and to support its operations. The

currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a
financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market
interest rates relates primarily to the long term debt obligations and Buyer’s credit obligations with floating interest rates. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve

changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the foreign currency borrowings, import of fuels, raw materials, spare parts and capital expenditure.

When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure.

The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions. The Company follows established risk management policies and standard operating procedures. It uses derivative instruments like
forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.

Note-43 : Capital Management
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the
Company’s capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may
adjust the return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing
loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital
structure requirements.

Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current
period.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the period/years ended 30th June 2018, 31st March 2018, 31st March 2017 and 31st March 2016.

Notes to first-time adoption:

Note : 1 Borrowings
Under INDIAN GAAP, transaction costs incurred in connection with borrowings are amortised upfront and charged to profit or loss for the period. Under Ind AS, transaction cost are included in initial recognition amount of
financial liability and charged to profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Note : 2 Security Deposits

Under the previous GAAP, interest free security deposits (that are refundable in cash on completion of the term) are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial assets are required to be recognised at fair
value, Accordingly, the Company has fair valued these security deposits under Ind AS. Difference between the fair value and transaction value of the security deposit has been recognised as prepaid rent. Consequent to this
change, the amount of security deposits decreased by ₹ 8.83 million as at 31st March, 2016 (1st April, 2015: ₹ 8.89 million). The prepaid rent increased by ₹ 8.21 million as at 31st, March 2016 (1st April, 2015: ₹ 8.42
million). Total equity decreased by ₹ 0.47 million as on 1st April, 2015. The profit for the year and total equity as at 31st March, 2016 decreased by ₹ 0.15 million due to amortisation of the prepaid rent of ₹ 0.83 million
which is partially off-set of the notional interest income of ₹ 0.68 million reconised on security deposits.

Note : 3 Fair value of investments

Under the previous GAAP, investments in mutual funds were classified as long term investments based on the intended holding period and realisablity. Long-term investments were carried at cost less provision for other than
temporary decline in the value of such investments. Under Ind AS, these investments are required to be measured at fair value. The resulting fair value changes of these investments have been recognised in the profit or loss
for the year ended 31st March 2016.

Note : 4 Forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments

Under the previous GAAP, the company has applied the requirements of Accounting standard 11 The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates to account for forward contracts entered for hedging foreign exchange risk
related to recognised borrowings. At the inception of forward contract, the forward premium was separated and amortised as expense over the tenure of forward contract. The underlying borrowing and the forward contract
were restated at the closing spot exchange rate.

Under Ind AS, derivatives which are not designated as hedge instruments are fair valued with resulting changes being recognised in profit or loss. The fair valuation of forward resulted in a gain and increase of equity of ₹
4.59 million as at 31st March 2016 (1st April 2015: ₹ 54.12 million). The unamortised premium amounting to as at 31st March, 2016 ₹ 44.38 million was adjusted against pre-operative expenses.

Note : 5 Defined benefit liabilities

Both under INDIAN GAAP and Ind AS, the Company recognised costs related to its post-employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. The entire cost, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to profit or
loss. Under Ind AS, remeasurements (comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets
excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through Other Comprehensive
Income.Thus the employee benefit cost is reduced by ₹ 0.28 million and Remeasurement gains/ losses on defined benefit plans has been recognized in the Other Comprehensive Income net of tax.

Note : 6 Operating lease on Land

Lease amount capitalised for land under an operating lease has been recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term as the another systematic basis is not more representative of the time pattern of the
user's benefit even if the payments to the lessors are not on that basis and on the other hand the same land has been derecognised from the portfolio of assets.

Note : 7 Finance lease on Land

At the commencement of the lease term, Company has recognised finance leases as assets and liabilities in their balance sheets at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or if lower, the present value of the
minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The discount rate is used in calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments is the average borrowing rate.

Notes to Restated Financial Statement as per IND AS - Other Information

Note-58 : Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the
accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or
liabilities affected in future periods.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Operating lease commitments – Company as lessee

The Company has taken certain offices and depots on long term lease basis. The Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not
constituting a major part of the economic life of the property and the fair value of the asset, that it does not have all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as
operating leases.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using other valuation techniques.
The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs
such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
Fair value measurement of financial instrumentsWhen the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using
Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of
disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in
use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future
investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the
growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

Allowance for doubtful debts

The allowance for doubtful debts reflects management’s estimate of losses inherent in its credit portfolio. This allowance is based on Company’s estimate of the losses to be incurred, which derives from past
experience with similar receivables, current and historical past due amounts, write-offs and collections, the careful monitoring of portfolio credit quality and current and projected economic and market conditions.
Should the present economic and financial situation persist or even worsen, there could be a further deterioration in the financial situation of the Company’s debtors compared to that already taken into consideration in
calculating the allowances recognised in the financial statements.

Useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic
obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software, IT equipment and other plant and equipment.

Defined benefit obligation (DBO)

Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these
assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised.

Contingent liabilities
The Company is the subject of legal proceedings and tax issues covering matter (Refer note 36), which are pending in various jurisdictions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such matters, it is difficult to predict the
final outcome of such matters. The cases and claims against the Company often raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to many uncertainties, including but not limited to the facts and
circumstances of each particular case and claim, the jurisdiction and the differences in applicable law. In the normal course of business, management consults with legal counsel and certain other experts on matters
related to litigation and taxes. The Company accrues a liability when it is determined that an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

 SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following information is included for analytical purposes and should be read in conjunction with our
“Financial Statements” on page 196 as well as “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 128 and 301, respectively.

Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other statistical information relating to our operations and
financial performance have been included in this section and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We
compute and disclose such non-GAAP financial measures and such other statistical information relating to our
operations and financial performance as we consider such information to be useful measures of our business and
financial performance, and because such measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others
to evaluate the operational performance of cement manufacturing businesses, many of which provide such non-
GAAP financial measures and other statistical and operational information when reporting their financial results.
However, note that these non-GAAP financial measures and other statistical information relating to our
operations and financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is
applicable across the industry and therefore may not be comparable to financial measures and statistical
information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other cement manufacturing
companies. Such non-GAAP financial measures should be read together with the nearest GAAP measure.

EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings (or profit/ (loss)) before finance cost, finance income, income taxes, and depreciation
and amortization expense. EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted financial indicator of a cement
company’s operational and financial performance. However, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative
to revenues from operations or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as determined under
Ind AS or India GAAP, as applicable. EBITDA should not be considered as an indication of a company’s operating
performance or as a measure of liquidity. Management’s discretionary use of funds depicted by EBITDA may be
limited by working capital, debt service and capital expenditure requirements and by restrictions related to legal
requirements, commitments and other uncertainties.

revaluation of assets, etc.” on page 156. As a result, we provide below our EBITDA for our cement and solar
businesses separately.

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

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our Restated Financial Statements as of and for the
three months ended June 30, 2018, and fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, including the related
annexures. These Restated Financial Statements have been prepared under Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind
AS”) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 read with Section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 to the extent applicable.

Our fiscal year ends on March 31 of each year. Accordingly, all references to a particular Fiscal are to the 12-
month period ended March 31 of that year.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and reflects our current
view with respect to future events and financial performance. Actual results may differ from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements as a result of factors such as those set forth under “Forward-looking
Statements” and “Risk Factors” on pages 15 and 16, respectively.

The industry-related information contained in this section is derived from the CRISIL Report. We commissioned
the CRISIL Report for the purposes of confirming our understanding of the industry in connection with the Offer.
Neither our Company, nor any other person connected with the Offer, including the BRLMs, has independently
verified the information in the CRISIL Report or other publicly available information cited in this section.

Overview

We are among the leading cement manufacturing companies in Eastern India. (Source: CRISIL Report) We
established an installed manufacturing capacity of 5.60 million metric tonne per annum (“MMTPA”) in our first
two years of commercial operations, making us one of the fastest growing cement companies to achieve such feat
amongst cement manufacturers operating in Eastern India. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we had a
market share of 5% in terms of cement sales volume, while our installed cement manufacturing capacity
represented 6% of the total installed capacity in Eastern India (including North East) in Fiscal 2018. (Source:
CRISIL Report) We currently operate three manufacturing plants and are in the process of setting up another plant,
which subject to receipt of necessary approvals is expected to result in an aggregate installed capacity of 9.30
MMTPA of cement and 3.20 MMTPA of clinker by April 2019.

We have an integrated cement manufacturing plant situated at Risda in Chhattisgarh, which has an installed
capacity of 3.20 MMTPA of clinker and 2.50 MMTPA of cement (the “Risda Manufacturing Plant”). We
commenced commercial production at this plant in December 2016. Our other operational plant is a cement
grinding plant at Panagarh in West Bengal, which has an installed capacity of 2.50 MMTPA of cement (with
current approvals for production up to 2.00 MMTPA) (the “Panagarh Manufacturing Plant”) and we
commenced commercial production at this plant in December 2017. In September 2018, we acquired a cement
grinding unit with an installed capacity of 0.60 MMTPA in Bhabua, Bihar (the “Bhabua Manufacturing Plant”)
and we are currently in the process of increasing its installed capacity to 1.80 MMTPA. We commenced
commercial production at this plant in September 2018 and plan to increase its capacity to 1.80 MMTPA by March
2019.

We are currently in the process of setting up a cement grinding plant at Kalinganagar, Odisha, which will have an
installed capacity of 2.50 MMTPA and subject to the receipt of necessary approvals, we expect this plant to
commence commercial operations by April 2019 (the “Kalinganagar Manufacturing Plant”).

Our manufacturing plants are strategically located in close proximity to the raw materials that we require for our
operations and are well connected to our key markets by rail and road. We have a limestone mining lease adjacent
to our integrated Risda Manufacturing Plant (the “Risda Mining Unit”), where we operate a fully mechanized
open cast mine and are able to extract sufficient quantities of limestone for our current clinker production
requirements. At our Risda Manufacturing Plant, we have a 30 MW captive coal based power plant and a 9 MW
waste heat recovery system (with provisions to scale up the generation of power up to 12 MW, subject to the
receipt of necessary approvals), which cater to our energy requirements. With a view to expand our geographic
presence in India, we secured limestone reserves in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh (the “Guntur Mining Unit”) by
obtaining a mining lease. Further, we participated in non-coal auction and won two limestone blocks in Nagaur,
Rajasthan and are awaiting execution of the mining leases. For further details of our mines, see “Business -Raw
301
Materials and Utilities - Limestone Supply and Reserves” on page 139.

We have a wide portfolio of products which includes Portland Pozzolana Cement (“PPC”), Portland Slag Cement
(“PSC”), 43 and 53 Grade Ordinary Portland Cement (“OPC”) and composite cement. We primarily sell our
cement to retail and institutional customers in the states of West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar,
Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the sale of OPC and blended cement
(comprising PPC and PSC) constituted 17.93% and 82.07% of our total cement sales volume, respectively, while
for Fiscal 2018, they comprised and 21.12% and 78.88% of our total cement sales volume, respectively.

We market all our products under the ‘Emami Double Bull’ brand. Our OPC, PPC and PSC are sold as ‘Emami
Double Bull’, our premium PPC offering is sold under the brand ‘Emami Double Bull MASTER’, while our
premium PSC offering is sold under the brand ‘Emami Double Bull Subh’. We sell our products to institutional
customers directly under the ‘PROCEM’ brand. We have set up regional marketing offices in Raipur, Patna,
Dhanbad, Bhubaneshwar and Kolkata to improve our market share in such markets. We serve our retail clients
through a distribution network that comprised over 2,200 dealers and over 5,000 retailers enabling us to sell our
products in approximately 160 districts in India, as of June 30, 2018. In addition, we have set up 110 warehouses
cum sale depots at strategic locations to ensure the efficient distribution of our products. We also sell our products
to institutional clients, which include companies such as Simplex Infrastructures Limited, Nuvoco Vistas
Corporation Limited and Bengal Shapoorji Housing Development Private Limited. For the three months ended
June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018 and 2017, sales to retail customers accounted for 63.19%, 61.00% and 66.50% of
our total cement sales, respectively, while sales to institutional customers accounted for 36.81%, 39.00% and
33.50% of our total cement sales, respectively.

Our Company was awarded the ‘Brand of the Decade 2018’ award in the cement category by ERTC Media and
the ‘Brand of the Year – Cement Segment’ award for excellence in building and construction at the National
Awards for Marketing Excellence by the Times Network in 2018.

We are a part of the Emami group, which was founded by Dr. Radhe Shyam Agarwal and Dr. Radhe Shyam
Goenka. The Emami group has an established presence in the Indian market, and has diversified its presence
across varied sectors such as consumer goods, newsprint and packaging boards manufacturing, edible oil and
biodiesel, real estate, ballpoint tip manufacturing, pharmacy stores, cement, solar power and contemporary art.

Significant Factors Affecting our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by a number of important factors including:

Demand and Supply for Cement in Eastern India

Our sales volumes and results of operations are affected by the demand for and supply of cement in eastern India,
since our operations are concentrated in this region. We currently operate three manufacturing plants, our Risda,
Panagarh and Bhabua Manufacturing Plants. We are also in the process of setting up a cement grinding plant at
Kalinganagar, Odisha. Since our manufacturing plants are located in east India, our business and results of
operations are dependent on the economic growth in this region. The level of economic activity is influenced by
a number of factors, including political and regulatory policy, funding received for housing and infrastructure
projects from the central and state governments and climatic conditions such as monsoon and drought.

According to the CRISIL Report, cement demand in Eastern India (including North East), which accounted for
17% of the total demand in India in Fiscal 2013, accounted for 22% of total demand in India in Fiscal 2018. In
the long-term, cement demand in Eastern India (including North East) is expected to outpace most other regions
and grow at a CAGR of 7.5% to 8.5% between Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2023. This would be largely backed by
Government spending on infrastructure projects. Industrial demand is also expected to be healthy on account of
investments by the Government and private entities in the information technology, railway, power and steel
sectors. (Source: CRISIL Report) However, any slowdown in the economy in East India or the overall Indian
economy, and in particular in the demand for housing and infrastructure could adversely affect our business and
results of operations.

In addition, a majority of our revenue is from customers who are in industries and businesses that are cyclical in
nature and subject to changes in general economic conditions. For example, many of our customers operate in the
construction industry. The level of construction activity in local and national markets is inherently cyclical and
any adverse developments in such industries could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
302
Cost and Availability of Raw Materials

Our cost of materials consumed constitutes the largest component of our cost structure. For the three months ended
June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018 and 2017, our cost of materials consumed (net of change in inventories of finished
goods and work-in-progress) was ₹ 956.57 million, ₹ 1,397.11 million, and ₹ 247.40 million, or expressed as a
percentage of our revenue from operations (net of excise duty expenses, if any) was 21.08%, 14.34% and 14.90%,
respectively. As we continue to grow our operations, we would need to procure additional volumes of raw
materials. For the manufacture of cement, we grind clinker, which is produced from limestone. We obtain
limestone from our Risda Mining Unit which is adjacent to our Risda Manufacturing Plant. We currently produce
clinker only at this plant, which is consumed at our Risda Manufacturing Plant and then transported to our other
grinding units as well. Consequently, any disruption in the mining of limestone or the production of clinker could
affect our business and results of operations.

In addition to limestone, the principal raw materials that we require for our operations are iron ore, gypsum, fly
ash, slag, coal and pet coke. While we have entered into agreements for the purchase of fly ash and coal, we do
not have any contractual arrangements for the purchase of our other raw materials. We typically source such
materials from third-party suppliers or the open market. We are thus exposed to fluctuations in availability and
prices of our raw materials and we may not be able to effectively pass on all increases in cost of raw materials to
our customers, which may affect our margins, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the use of pet coke
has been previously banned by the Supreme Court of India, which was subsequently lifted. If such prohibitions
are enacted in the future, we may have to source alternate materials and our costs could change. For further details
see, “Risk Factors - Internal Risk Factors - If we are unable to source adequate amounts of raw materials
and at acceptable cost, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected”
on page 20.

Our Expansion Plans

We are in the process of implementing certain projects to increase our manufacturing capacities and improve our
operational efficiencies. We are currently setting up a grinding unit at Kalinganagar, Odisha with an installed
capacity of 2.50 MMTPA of cement. In September 2018, we acquired a grinding unit with an installed capacity
of 0.60 MMTPA in Bhabua, Bihar and we are in the process of increasing its installed capacity to 1.80 MMTPA.
As of June 30, 2018, we had incurred capital expenditure of ₹ 4,112.12 million for these two plants. Our Risda
Manufacturing Plant currently has an installed capacity of 3.20 MMTPA of clinker, which we intend to expand
to 5.00 MMTPA in the near future. In addition, we commissioned our railway siding at our Panagarh
Manufacturing Plant in September 2018, are in the process of setting up a railway siding at our Risda
Manufacturing Plant, and as of June 30, 2018, we had incurred capital expenditure of ₹ 1,095.54 million for such
efficiency optimization projects. We also intend to set up a rail siding at our Bhabua Manufacturing Plant. We
expect that our expansion plans will allow us to meet the anticipated increase in cement demand in the future,
enable us to supply growing markets more efficiently and drive growth. However, in the event that there is an
oversupply of cement in the markets in which we operate, we may be required to reduce production volumes and
may not be able to realize the benefits of expanding our manufacturing capacities.

Further, we expect that our expansion plans will result in an increase in our finance costs and as our new plants
and other facilities become operational, we expect an increase in our demand for power, fuel and electricity, which
costs were ₹ 884.64 million, ₹ 2,560.15 million and ₹ 633.57 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018
and Fiscals 2018 and 2017, respectively. We currently source almost all of our electrical energy requirements for
our Risda Manufacturing Plant from our captive power plant and waste heat recovery system, which enables us
to reduce our energy expenses. However, we will source electricity for our other plants from state electricity grids,
which may result in an increase in our energy expenses. See “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors - Delays in
the construction of new manufacturing plants and the expansion of our existing plants may adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition” on page 21.

Our Distribution Network

We have set up an extensive sales and distribution network for the sale of our products and we also make sales to
certain institutional customers directly. We constantly seek to grow our product reach to under-penetrated
geographies, increase the penetration of our products in markets in which we are currently present and widen the
portfolio of our products available in those markets by growing our distribution network. We may, however, not
303
be successful in appointing new distributors to expand our network or effectively manage our existing distribution
network. We may also be required to offer our distributors sustainable business opportunities for them to sell our
products over those of our competitors. Further, we may also face disruptions in the delivery of our products for
reasons beyond our control, including poor handling of our products by third parties, transportation bottlenecks,
natural disasters and labour issues, railway wagon ability, which could lead to delayed or lost deliveries. If our
distributors fail to distribute our products in a timely manner, or if our distribution arrangements are terminated,
or if the terms of our distribution arrangements are modified, our business and results of operations may be
affected. For further details, see “Risk Factors - Internal Risk Factors - Our inability to expand or effectively
manage our distribution network may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition” on page 27.

Competition and Pricing Pressure

The cement industry in India is highly fragmented and competitive and we compete with domestic cement
companies, as well as companies that operate as joint ventures with international cement companies. We have a
relatively short operating history as we commenced commercial production of cement in December 2016 and as
such some of our competitors are larger than us, are more diversified, with operations across India, may have
greater financial resources than we do, may have access to a cheaper cost of capital and may be able to produce
cement more efficiently or invest larger amounts of capital into their businesses. Our competitors may also make
strategic acquisitions or establish co-operative relationships among themselves or with third parties, including
dealers of cement, thereby increasing their ability to address the needs of our target customers. We depend on the
strength of the “Emami” brand to sell our products, which brand is relatively new in the cement industry and our
competitors may have products with greater brand recognition than ours. In order to increase our sales volumes,
we intend to continue to use various media channels to promote our brand including placing advertisements and
commercials on television, newspapers, hoardings and on digital media. However, such initiatives may not be
successful. We will be required to compete effectively with our existing and potential competitors, to maintain
and grow our market share and in turn, our results of operations.

An increase in competition may also lead to lower cement prices and profit margins. Our pricing policy is based
on several factors including the cost of operations and raw materials, our competitive position and the pricing of
certain products in the markets. In addition, the manufacture and sale of cement in India is largely regional in
nature on account of significant transport costs involved, which limits our ability to sell our products in markets
that are far from our manufacturing plants. The farther cement or clinker have to be transported, the higher the
transportation costs. Therefore, we follow a split grinding strategy which allows us to transport clinker in bulk at
lower freight costs and manufacture cement in plants closer to our end markets. We commissioned a railway
siding at our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant in September 2018 and are in the process of setting up a railway siding
at our Risda Manufacturing Plant. Our ability to transport raw materials and cement is also subject to the timely
availability of railway wagons and trucks. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018 and 2017,
our transport and handling expenses were ₹ 1,488.02 million, ₹ 3,073.82 million and ₹ 396.66 million, or 32.79%,
31.56% and 23.89% of our revenue from operations (net of excise duty expenses, if any), respectively. We seek
to offset the effect of this pricing pressure by sourcing raw materials from vendors in proximity to our plants and
increasing the efficiency of our manufacturing operations. If we are unable to increase the prices of our products
to compensate for higher transportation costs in the future, our margins may be reduced.

Seasonal Variations

Our business is subject to seasonal variations on account of lower demand for building materials during the
monsoon season. Consequently, our revenues recorded during the months of June to September could be lower
compared to other periods. During the monsoons, construction activity is curtailed and we generally plan major
repairs of our plants and equipment during such times, to take advantage of the reduced demand, so as to ensure
that plants and equipment are working efficiently when the demand usually picks up subsequent to the monsoons.
During the monsoons, we may continue to incur operating expenses and our revenue from the sale of our products
may be delayed or reduced. Consequently, seasonal variations and adverse weather conditions may adversely
affect our manufacturing and sales volumes and could therefore have a disproportionate impact on our results of
operations during the relevant period.

Demerger of Our Solar Power Business

Our Board and the board of directors of Emami Power Limited have approved a scheme of demerger (the
“Demerger Scheme”), pursuant to which our solar power business, comprising a 10 MW solar power plant in
304
Gujarat and 3 MW solar power plant in Tamil Nadu, including all properties, assets, liabilities, duties, obligations,
debts, tenancy rights, approvals and registrations pertaining thereto, will be demerged and transferred to and will
vest with Emami Power as a going concern. The Proposed Demerger is being undertaken with a view to
consolidate the power production business in Emami Power Limited, while allowing our Company to focus on its
cement manufacturing operations. Our Company and Emami Power have filed the Demerger Scheme before the
National Company Law Tribunal, Kolkata (“NCLT”) in relation to the demerger on July 9, 2018. This demerger
remains subject to certain approvals and consents, such as approval of the NCLT and compliance with any other
conditions imposed by the NCLT. The Demerger Scheme will also require consents from certain governmental
authorities and third parties, including lenders. For further details, see “History and Certain Corporate Matters -
Details regarding acquisition of business/undertakings, mergers, amalgamation, revaluation of assets, etc.” on
page 156. As a result of such demerger, our losses may increase in the future. The demerger also makes it difficult
to analyse and evaluate our future results of operations and financial condition based on our historical financial
statements.

Government Incentives

We are eligible to receive certain incentives pursuant to the West Bengal State Support for Industries Scheme,
2013. Pursuant to this scheme, we receive incentives in the form of state tax refunds for sales made within West
Bengal at the rate of 80% of the value added tax and central sales tax (currently known as state goods and services
tax) paid in the previous year, subject to a certain threshold. These incentives are available to us for a period of
nine years from December 2017. If such incentives are not available to us in the future, our tax liabilities may
increase, which could affect our results of operations.

Statement of Certain Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The Restated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of:

a) Section 26 of the Companies Act, 2013; and

b) The SEBI ICDR Regulations read along with the SEBI circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL/CIR/P/2016/47 dated
March 31, 2016; and

c) Guidance Note on reports in Company Prospectuses (Revised 2016) issued by the ICAI.

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
 Derivative financial instruments measured at fair value
 Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial
instruments); and
 Employee’s defined benefit plan as per actuarial valuation.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the
presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market
for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or
liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by us.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market
participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

305
We use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available
to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable
inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, we determine whether
transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period or each case.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, we have determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the
nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Current versus non-current classification

We present assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is
treated as current when it is:

 expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

 held primarily for the purpose of trading
 expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
 cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting period

All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when:

 it is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle

 it is held primarily for the purpose of trading
 it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
 there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting period.

We classify all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current
assets and liabilities.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and
cash equivalents. We have identified twelve months as our operating cycle.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Recognition

Property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortization and
impairment, if any. Freehold land is disclosed at cost less impairment, if any. Cost comprises purchase price and
directly attributable cost of acquisition/ bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use (net of
credit availed, if any).

Capital work in progress, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and
306
borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant
parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, we depreciate them separately based on their
specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount
of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and
maintenance costs are recognized in statement of profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost
for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition
criteria for a provision are met. Material items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and service equipment are
classified as PPE when they meet the definition of PPE as specified in Ind AS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment.

De-recognition

An item of PPE and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset
(calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included
in the income statement when the asset is derecognized.

Mining Development

The costs of mining properties, which include the costs of developing mining properties and mineral rights, are
capitalized as property, plant and equipment under the heading ‘Mining Development’ in the year in which they
are incurred.

When a decision is taken that a mining property is viable for commercial production (such as when we determine
that the mining property will provide sufficient and sustainable return relative to the risks and we decided
to proceed with the mine development), all further pre-production primary development expenditure other
than land, buildings, plant and equipment is capitalized as part of the cost of the mining property until the mining
property is capable of commercial production.

Exploration and evaluation assets are recognized as assets at their cost of acquisition, subject to meeting the
commercial production criteria as above and are subject to impairment review on an annual basis, or more
frequently if indicators of impairment exist.

The stripping cost incurred during the production phase of a surface mine is deferred to the extent the current
period stripping cost exceeds the average period stripping cost over the life of mine and recognized as an asset if
such cost provides a benefit in terms of improved access to ore in future periods and certain criteria are met. When
the benefit from the stripping costs are realized in the current period, the stripping costs are accounted for as the
cost of inventory. If the costs of inventory produced and the stripping activity asset are not separately identifiable,
a relevant production measure is used to allocate the production stripping costs between the inventory produced
and the stripping activity asset. We use the expected volume of waste compared with the actual volume of waste
extracted for a given value of ore production for the purpose of determining the cost of the stripping activity asset.
Deferred stripping cost are included in mining properties within PPE and disclosed as a part of mining
properties. After initial recognition, the stripping activity asset is depreciated on a unit of production method over
the expected useful life of the identified component of the ore body. In circumstance, where a property is
abandoned, the cumulative capitalized costs relating to the property are written off in the same period.

Depreciation

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of PPE over its useful life and is provided on
a straight-line basis over the useful lives as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, or as per
technical assessment. Depreciable amount for PPE is the cost of PPE less its estimated residual value. The useful
life of PPE is the period over which PPE is expected to be available for use by us, or the number of production or
similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by us. We have componentized our PPE and have separately
assessed the life of major components.

In case of certain classes of PPE, we use different useful lives than those prescribed in Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013. The useful lives have been assessed based on technical advice, taking into account the
nature of the PPE and the estimated usage of the asset on the basis of our management’s best estimation of
obtaining economic benefits from those classes of assets.

307
Depreciation on additions is provided on a pro-rata basis from the month of installation or acquisition and in case
of Projects from the date of commencement of commercial production. Depreciation on deductions/disposals is
provided on a pro-rata basis up to the month preceding the month of deduction/disposal.

The following table sets forth the useful life of tangible assets:

Class of Assets Useful life of the asset (Years)

Leasehold land 87 to 99
Buildings 3 to 60
Plant and Machinery 0 to 40
Motor Vehicles 3 to 15
Furniture and Fixture 1 to 15
Office Equipment 3 to 20
Mining Development 5 to 25
Computers Software 6
Mining rights 50

Intangible assets

Recognition

Intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life or units of production method and
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed
at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of
consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period
or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on
intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms
part of carrying value of another asset.

Computer Software

We have capitalized computer software in the nature of software licenses as intangible assets and the cost of
software is amortized over the license period of six years, being their expected useful economic life.

Mining rights

Costs associated with acquiring mining rights are capitalized as incurred. Mining rights controlled by us are
recognized as intangible assets.

Amortization methods and periods

We amortize mining rights with a finite useful life using the straight line method over the period of 50 years as
per the agreement dated September 8, 2009 entered into with the Chhattisgarh Government. We amortize software
licenses with a finite useful life using the straight line method over the period of six years.

On the other hand, we amortize the mines development cost on the basis of units of production method. The
method is applied consistently from period to period unless there is a change in the expected pattern of
consumption of those future economic benefits. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset
are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are
recognized in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
Expenditure during construction period

Expenditure/ Income during construction period (including financing cost related to borrowed funds for
construction or acquisition of qualifying PPE) is included under capital work-in-progress, and the same is
allocated to the respective PPE on the completion of their construction. Advances given towards acquisition or
construction of PPE outstanding at each reporting date are disclosed as Capital Advances under “Other non-current
Assets”.
308
Inventories

Inventories are valued as follows:

Raw materials, fuel, stores and spare parts and packing materials: Valued at lower of cost and net realizable
value (“NRV”). However, these items are considered to be realizable at cost, if the finished products, in which
they will be used, are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

Work-in- progress, finished goods, stock-in-trade and trial run inventories: Valued at lower of cost and NRV.
Cost of Finished goods and work-in-progress includes cost of raw materials, cost of conversion and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of inventories is computed on
weighted average basis.

Waste / Scrap: Waste / Scrap inventory is valued at NRV. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Borrowing costs

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production
of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for
its intended use or sale and borrowing costs are being incurred. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take
a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Government Grant

Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant
will be received and we will comply with all attached conditions there to. Government grant relating to income
are deferred and recognized in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they
are intended to compensate and presented within other income. Government grants relating to purchase of
property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit
or loss on the basis of depreciation policy followed by us for the related assets and presented within other income.

Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognized when we have a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably
estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the
present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific
to the liability. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

A present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will
be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability.
Contingent liabilities are also disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence
of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within our control.

Claims against us, where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as
contingent liabilities.

Contingent assets are not recognized in financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that
may never be realized. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a
contingent asset and is recognized.

309
Mining Restoration Provision

An obligation for restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs arises when environmental disturbance is
caused by the development or ongoing extraction from mines. Costs arising from restoration at closure of the
mines and other site preparation work are provided for based on their discounted net present value, with a
corresponding amount being capitalized at the start of each project. The amount provided for is recognized, as
soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. These costs are charged to the statement of profit and loss over
the life of the operation through the depreciation of the asset and the unwinding of the discount on the provision.
The cost are reviewed periodically and are adjusted to reflect known developments which may have an impact on
the cost or life of operations. The cost of the related asset is adjusted for changes in the provision due to factors
such as updated cost estimates, new disturbance and revisions to discount rates. The adjusted cost of the asset is
depreciated prospectively over the lives of the assets to which they relate. The unwinding of the discount is shown
as a finance cost in the statement of profit and loss.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic
benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of our activities as described
below. We base our estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of
transaction and specifies of each arrangement.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivables. Amounts disclosed as revenue
are inclusive of excise duty and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, value added taxes and amounts collected
on behalf of third parties.

Timing of recognition

We manufacture and sell clinker and cement and generate solar power which are sold and referred to as products.
Sales are recognized when products are delivered to the customers. Delivery occurs when the products have been
shipped to the special location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to customers, and either
the customers has accepted the products in accordance with the sales arrangements.

Measurement of revenue

Our products are often sold with discounts and customers have a right to return faulty products. Revenue from
sales is based on the current prevailing prices at the time of sales, net of the discounts and returns.

Interest Income

For all debt instruments measured either at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income,
interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (“EIR”). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the
estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period,
where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortized cost of a financial
liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, we estimates the expected cash flows by considering
all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar
options) but do not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in finance income in the
statement of profit and loss.

Interest income on fixed deposits is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount
outstanding and the applicable interest rate.

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized at the time when right to receive the payment is established, which is generally
when the shareholders approve the dividend.

Leases

At the inception of a lease, the lease arrangement is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease, based

310
on the substance of the lease arrangement.

Finance Lease

Leases of property, plant and equipment where we, as lessee, have substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s inception at the fair value
of the leased property. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings
or other financial liabilities as appropriate. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost.
The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Operating Lease

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to us as lessee are
classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line
basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in the line with the expected
general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases.

Income Tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based
on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
(including minimum alternate tax (“MAT”)) attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is
determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting
period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax
liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it
is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax
assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to same taxation authority. Current tax assets
and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on
a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, respectively.

Tax credit is recognized in respect of MAT paid in terms of section 115 JAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 based
on convincing evidence that we will pay normal income tax within statutory time frame and the same is reviewed
at each balance sheet date.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash
on hand, deposits held at call with the financial institutions, other short term, highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less (except the instruments which are pledged) that are readily convertible
to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using
the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

311
Derivative Financial Instruments

We enter into derivative financial instruments through foreign exchange forward contracts to manage our exposure
to foreign exchange rate risks. We do not hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are
subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is
recognized in profit or loss immediately.

Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realized the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Employee Benefits

Short term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within
12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect
of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid
when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefits obligations in the balance
sheet.

Compensated absence

Liability in respect of compensated absences becoming due or expected to be availed within one year from the
balance sheet date is recognized on the basis of undiscounted value of estimated amount required to be paid
or estimated value of benefit expected to be availed by the employees. Liability in respect of compensated
absences becoming due or expected to be availed more than one year after the balance sheet date is estimated on
the basis of an actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
We present the entire leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, since we do not have an unconditional right
to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date.

Post-employment obligations

The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present
value of the defined benefit obligations at the end of the reporting period. The defined benefit obligation is
calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in
retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are
recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Defined contribution plans

We pay provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations.
We do not have further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are
accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense
when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or reduction
in the future payments is available.

Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of ours that engages in business activities from which we may earn revenues
and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to make

312
decisions for which discrete financial information is available. Based on the management approach as defined in
Ind AS 108, the chief operating decision maker evaluates our performance and allocates resources based on an
analysis of various performance indicators by business segments and geographic segments.

Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to us prior to the end of the Fiscal
which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within the credit period allowed. Trade and
other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting
period. Long term trade payables are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Borrowings are measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and
the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using effective interest
method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the
extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. To the extent there is no evidence that
it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity
services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless we have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Where there is a breach of a material provision of a long-
term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes
payable on demand on the reporting date, the entity does not classify the liability as current, if the lender agreed,
after the reporting period and before the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as
a consequence of the breach.

Segmental Reporting

We have identified our business segments as our primary reportable segment comprising cement and solar power.
However, we are in the process of demerging our solar power business. For further details, see “History and
Certain Corporate Matters - Details regarding acquisition of business/undertakings, mergers, amalgamation,
revaluation of assets, etc.” on page 156.

for the period

Three months ended June 30, 2018

Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were particularly affected by the following
factors:

2018, our Risda Manufacturing Plant accounted for a full year of operations while our Panagarh
Manufacturing Plant commenced operations in December 2017; and

 during Fiscal 2018, we capitalized income and expenses for our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant till it
commenced commercial operations in December 2017 in accordance with Ind AS, whereas during the three
months ended June 30, 2018, such income and expenses were charged to our statement of profit and loss.

317
2018.

Excise duty expenses. Our excise duty expenses were nil for the three months ended June 30, 2018, since we had
transitioned to the Indian Goods and Services Tax regime.

Change in inventories of finished goods and work -in-progress. We had an increase in inventories of finished
goods and work-in-progress of ₹ 190.74 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Inventories increased
primarily due to an increase in production volumes of cement.

Employee benefit expenses. Our employee benefit expense was ₹ 161.76 million for the three months ended June
30, 2018, primarily comprising salaries and wages of ₹ 146.99 million, staff welfare expenses of ₹ 7.49 million

three months ended June 30, 2018.

Profit/loss for the period. We had a profit for the period of ₹ 179.42 million for the three months ended June 30,
2018.

Fiscal 2018 compared to Fiscal 2017

Our results of operations for Fiscal 2018 were particularly affected by the following factors:
 our integrated Risda Manufacturing Plant accounted for a full year of operations during Fiscal 2018, as
compared to approximately four months of operations during Fiscal 2017;

 we commenced the commercial production of cement at our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant in December
2017, until which time we capitalized expenses for this plant in accordance with Ind AS; and

 a change in tax regime wherein we paid excise duty during Fiscal 2017 and during Fiscal 2018, we paid excise
duty for the first quarter and thereafter transitioned to the Indian Goods and Services Tax regime.

Total Income

Our total income increased to ₹ 10,270.33 million for Fiscal 2018 from ₹ 1,896.78 million for Fiscal 2017, due to
an increase in revenue from operations and other income.

Revenue from Operations. Our revenue from operations increased to ₹ 10,055.48 million for Fiscal 2018 from ₹
1,879.63 million for Fiscal 2017, primarily due to:

 an increase in net cement sales to ₹ 9,559.74 million for Fiscal 2018 from ₹ 1,630.64 million for Fiscal 2017;
we sold 2,302,518 MT of cement during Fiscal 2018 as compared to 375,798 MT of cement during Fiscal
2017, primarily on account of a full year of operations at our Risda Manufacturing Plant in Fiscal 2018 as
compared to approximately four months of operations in Fiscal 2017, as well as the commencement of cement
production at our Panagarh Manufacturing Plant in December 2017; and

 and an increase in sale of clinker to ₹ 1,131.53 million for Fiscal 2018 from ₹ 252.23 million for Fiscal 2017;
we sold 411,725 MT of clinker during Fiscal 2018 as compared to 83,550 MT of clinker during Fiscal 2017.

318
Our increase in revenue from operations during Fiscal 2018 was partially offset by a decrease in the sale of solar
power to ₹ 269.45 million for Fiscal 2018 from ₹ 286.11 million for Fiscal 2017; we sold 20,490,873 MW of solar
power during Fiscal 2018 as compared to 21,591,763 MW of solar power during Fiscal 2017. In addition, we
offered rebates and discounts of ₹ 905.24 million for Fiscal 2018 as compared to ₹ 289.35 million for Fiscal 2017,
which was in line with the increase in the volume of cement sold by us.

Other income. Our other income increased to ₹ 214.85 million for Fiscal 2018 from ₹ 17.15 million for Fiscal
2017, primarily due to an increase in government grants in the form of state tax refunds for sales made in West
Bengal to ₹ 100.74 million for Fiscal 2018 from nil for Fiscal 2017, an increase in gain from fair valuation of
recurring derivative instruments carried at fair value through profit and loss to ₹ 57.29 million for Fiscal 2018
from nil for Fiscal 2017 and an increase in income from scrap sales to ₹ 28.88 million for Fiscal 2018 from ₹ 1.23
million for Fiscal 2017.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to various types of market risks during the normal course of business.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instruments will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: currency rate risk and interest rate risk.
Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments, payables,
derivatives financial instruments and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Foreign
currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of
changes in foreign exchange rates. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial
instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

Foreign currency risks

Foreign currency risk is the risk of impact related to fair value or future cash flows of an exposure in foreign
currency, which fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in foreign
exchange rates relates primarily to the foreign currency borrowings, import of fuels, raw materials, spare parts
and capital expenditure. When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, we negotiate the terms
of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure. We evaluate exchange rate exposure arising from
foreign currency transactions. We follow established risk management policies and standard operating procedures
and we use derivative instruments like forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge exposure to foreign currency
risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates
primarily to the long term debt obligations and buyer’s credit obligations with floating interest rates. We monitor
the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer
contracts leading to financial loss. We are exposed to credit risk from our operating activities (primarily trade
receivables) and from our investing activities including deposits with banks, mutual funds and financial
institutions and other financial instruments.

324
Trade receivables

We manage customer credit risk by each business location subject to our established policy, procedures and
control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed and individual credit
limits are defined in accordance with the assessment both in terms of number of days and amount. Wherever we
assess the credit risk as high, the exposure is backed by either letter of credit, security deposits or curtailed by
arrangement with third parties.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that we will not be able to settle or meet our obligations on time or at reasonable
price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the
availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. Our treasury
team is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies
related to such risks are overseen by senior management.

We monitor our risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning based on rolling forecasts of
expected cash flows. This process considers the maturity of both its financial investments and financial assets (i.e.
trade receivables, other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operations. Our objective is to maintain a
balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of working capital loans, letter of credit
facility, bank loans and credit purchases.

Seasonality of Business

Our business is subject to seasonal variations on account of lower demand for building materials during the
monsoon season. Consequently, our revenues recorded during the months of June to September could be lower

I. LITIGATION INVOLVING OUR COMPANY

A. Pending action by statutory or regulatory authorities against our Company

Our Company had purchased 64 units of land from various persons in 2007 and 2008, for the setting up of
the Risda Mining Unit, and our Company was entitled to avail exemption from payment of stamp duty in
relation to the agreements for purchase of such lands pursuant to a certificate of exemption dated February
12, 2008 issued by the Director, Department of Commerce and Industry (“Director, DCI”).

A letter dated July 20, 2016 was issued to us by the General Manager, District Commerce and Industrial
Center, Baloda Bazar directing us to deposit the stamp duty along with the applicable interest on the ground
that our Company had not fulfilled the necessary condition of starting commercial production at the Risda
Mining Unit within five years from the date of issuance of the certificate of exemption. Subsequently, the
Collector of Stamps, Baloda Bazar (“Collector”) registered 64 cases against us in respect of all the sale
deeds that had been entered into for the purchase of the aforementioned units of land and by orders dated
January 12, 2018, held that we are liable to pay the stamp duty amounting to an aggregate of ₹ 4.43 million
along with interest at 12.50% per annum.

330
 In the meanwhile, by an order dated October 17, 2015, the Secretary, Mines Department directed the refusal
of grant of the letters of intent that were issued by it on the grounds of lack of transparency. Further, the

to our Company, cancelled the LoI issued to the Company in furtherance of the order dated October 17,
2015. The Company filed a revision petition before the Central Government against the Cancellation Order.
The Cancellation Order was set aside by an order of the Central Government dated December 20, 2016 and
remanded the matter to the Government of Rajasthan for taking necessary action.

The Company by letter dated December 30, 2016 requested the Secretary-Mines, Department of Mines,
Government of Rajasthan to issue an amended LoI and subsequently, our Company filed a writ petition in
the High Court of Rajasthan, Jaipur (“Rajasthan High Court”) against the Union of India, through
Secretary, Ministry of Mines; State of Rajasthan through Secretary, Mines Department (“State
Government”); Joint Secretary, Mines (Group 2) Department (“Joint Secretary, Mines”); Controller
General, Indian Bureau of Mines (“IBM”) and others (“Respondents”) seeking directions to be issued to
the Respondents to: (i) issue an amended LoI for an area admeasuring 939.46 hectares; (ii) approve the
mining plan and the mine closure plan for the purposes of grant of mining lease based on the modified LoI;
(iii) issue an order for grant of mining lease and execute the mining lease before January 12, 2017; and (iv)
a declaration that the LoI shall not stand lapsed/rejected on account of time limit prescribed under the Mines
and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957.

Additionally, our Company filed an interim application in the Rajasthan High Court seeking to restrain the
Respondents from cancelling the LoI and directing the Respondents to grant the mining lease and execute
the mining lease agreement along with completing all formalities for modification of the LoI during the
pendency of the of the writ petition. The Rajasthan High Court, by an order dated January 11, 2017, has

Prohibition by the SEBI, the RBI or governmental authorities

None of our Company, our Promoters, members of our Promoter Group, natural persons behind each of our
corporate Promoters, our Directors or persons in control of our Company are prohibited from accessing or
operating in the capital market or restrained from buying, selling or dealing in securities under any order or
direction passed by the SEBI or any other regulatory or governmental authorities. Neither our Promoter, nor any
of our Directors or persons in control of our Company were or are a promoter, director or person in control of any
other company which is debarred from accessing or operating in the capital market under any order or directions
made by the SEBI or any other governmental authorities. Further, except as disclosed below, there have been no
violations of securities laws committed by any of them, proceedings in relation to which, are currently outstanding.

SEBI has imposed a penalty of ₹ 0.80 million on Radhe Shyam Agarwal, one of our Promoters and also the
chairman of Emami Limited, for stating that Emami Limited is interested in buying the equity shares of a listed
company, Amrutanjan Healthcare Limited (“AHL”) to a journalist, without having discussed such intention with
the board of directors of Emami Limited, which was subsequently published in the Kolkata edition of a newspaper.
While SEBI, in its order dated Dated December 27, 2017, noted that no disproportionate gains or unfair advantage
was made by Radhe Shyam Agarwal or any specific loss suffered by investors as a consequence of such statement,
it was held that the trading price of the shares of AHL was impacted, which resulted in a violation of Regulations
3 and 4 of the SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices Relating to the Securities Market)
Regulations, 2003. Radhe Shyam Agarwal has filed an appeal against the order passed by SEBI before the
Securities Appellate Tribunal. For further details, see “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments”
on page 330.

Further, other than as disclosed below, there have been no violations of securities laws committed by any of them
in the past.

In 2001, SEBI initiated an action against Anand Rathi, one of our Independent Directors, who was the then
president of BSE, and certain of his associate entities, namely, Anand Rathi Securities Private Limited, Rathi
Global Finance Limited, Rathi Capital and Securities Private Limited and Navratan Capital and Securities Private
Limited for seeking some information from the Surveillance Department of BSE, in respect of the trading activities
of certain brokers and foreign institutional investors. As a consequence, SEBI passed an order restraining Anand
Rathi from holding any position of a director or trustee of any capital market related institutions/ entities for a
period of two years, with effect from March 12, 2001 and the registration allowing certain of such entities
undertaking stock broking business were suspended for a period of nine months, with effect from March 12, 2001.
Anand Rathi preferred an appeal before the Securities Appellate Tribunal challenging the SEBI order. The
Securities Appellate Tribunal, by an order dated February 28, 2002, modified SEBI’s order and restrained him
from holding any position as a member of the governing board or office bearer of any stock exchanges as well as
in any capital market related public institutions for a period of one year with effect from March 12, 2001.

Other than as disclosed below, none of our Directors are in any manner associated with the securities market,
including any securities market related business and no action has been taken by SEBI against our Directors or
any entity with which our Directors are associated.

One of our Independent Directors, Anand Rathi, is associated with certain entities registered with SEBI in the
capacity of a director and/or promoter. SEBI has imposed penalties on two such entities being (i) ₹ 3.00 million
on Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers Limited, a SEBI registered stock broker, for non-compliance with
statutory requirements and non-exercise of due skill and care in conducting its business; and (ii) ₹ 0.50 million on
Anand Rathi Advisors Limited, a SEBI registered merchant banker, for non-disclosure of material information in
the offer document filed in connection with the initial public offering by Dr. Datsons Labs Limited (formerly
known as Aanjaneya Lifecare Limited).

net offer to public, to qualified institutional buyers and to refund full subscription money if it fails to make the
said minimum allotment to qualified institutional buyers.”

We are an unlisted company not complying with the conditions specified in Regulation 26(1) of the SEBI ICDR
Regulations and are therefore required to meet the conditions detailed in Regulation 26(2) of the SEBI ICDR
Regulations.

We undertake to comply with Regulation 26(2) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, as at least 75% of the Net Offer
is proposed to be Allotted to QIBs and in the event that we fail to do so, the full application monies shall be
refunded to the Bidders, in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

number of Allottees under the Offer shall be not less than 1,000, failing which, the entire application money will

six Working Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date or within such timeline as prescribed by the SEBI, it shall
repay without interest all monies received from Bidders within the time period prescribed under the applicable
law, failing which interest shall be due to be paid to the Bidders at the rate of 15% per annum or as per applicable
law for the delayed period. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to applicable law, a Selling Shareholder shall not
be responsible to reimburse any expenses towards refund or pay interest for any such delay, except to the extent
such delay has been caused solely and directly by an act or omission attributable solely to such Selling
Shareholder.

Our Company is in compliance with conditions specified in Regulation 4(2) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations to the

Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividend, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Equity
Shares, until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

Working Day prior to the Bid/Offer Opening Date. QIBs may Bid at a price higher than the
Floor Price and the Allotment to the QIBs is made on a price priority basis. The Bidder with the
highest Bid Amount is allotted the number of Equity Shares Bid for and then the second highest
Bidder is Allotted Equity Shares and this process continues until all the Equity Shares have been
allotted. RIIs, NIIs and Employees are Allotted Equity Shares at the Floor Price and allotment
to these categories of Bidders is made proportionately. If the number of Equity Shares Bid for
at a price is more than available quantity then the Allotment may be done on a proportionate
basis. Further, the Issuer may place a cap either in terms of number of specified securities or
percentage of issued capital of the Issuer that may be Allotted to a single Bidder, decide whether
a Bidder be allowed to revise the bid upwards or downwards in terms of price and/or quantity
and also decide whether a Bidder be allowed single or multiple bids.

SECTION 6: OFFER PROCEDURE IN FIXED PRICE ISSUE

Applicants may note that there is no Bid cum Application Form in a Fixed Price Issue. As the Offer Price is
mentioned in the Fixed Price Issue therefore on filing of the Prospectus with the RoC, the Application so submitted
is considered as the application form.

Applicants may only use the specified Application Form for the purpose of making an Application in terms of the
Prospectus which may be submitted through the Designated Intermediary.

ASBA Applicants may submit an Application Form either in physical form to the Designated Intermediaries or in
the electronic form to the SCSB or the Designated Branches of the SCSBs authorising blocking of funds that are
available in the bank account specified in the Application Form only (“ASBA Account”). The Application Form
is also made available on the websites of the Stock Exchanges at least one day prior to the Bid/Offer Opening
Date.

In a fixed price Issue, allocation in the net offer to the public category is made as follows: minimum fifty per cent
to Retail Individual Investors; and remaining to (i) individual investors other than Retail Individual Investors; and
(ii) other Applicants including corporate bodies or institutions, irrespective of the number of specified securities
applied for. The unsubscribed portion in either of the categories specified above may be allocated to the Applicants
in the other category.

For details of instructions in relation to the Application Form, Bidders/Applicants may refer to the relevant section
of the GID.

SECTION 7: ALLOTMENT PROCEDURE AND BASIS OF ALLOTMENT

The Allotment of Equity Shares to Bidders/Applicants other than Retail Individual Investors and Anchor Investors
may be on proportionate basis. For Basis of Allotment to Anchor Investors, Bidders/Applicants may refer to
RHP/Prospectus. No Retail Individual Investor will be Allotted less than the minimum Bid Lot subject to
availability of shares in Retail Individual Investor Category and the remaining available shares, if any will be
Allotted on a proportionate basis. The Issuer is required to receive a minimum subscription of 90% of the Net
Offer (excluding any Offer for Sale of specified securities). However, in case the Offer is in the nature of Offer

404
for Sale only, then minimum subscription may not be applicable.

7.1 ALLOTMENT TO RIIs

Bids received from the RIIs at or above the Offer Price may be grouped together to determine the total
demand under this category. If the aggregate demand in this category is less than or equal to the Retail
Category at or above the Offer Price, full Allotment may be made to the RIIs to the extent of the valid
Bids. If the aggregate demand in this category is greater than the allocation to in the Retail Category at
or above the Offer Price, then the maximum number of RIIs who can be Allotted the minimum Bid Lot
will be computed by dividing the total number of Equity Shares available for Allotment to RIIs by the
minimum Bid Lot (“Maximum RII Allottees”). The Allotment to the RIIs will then be made in the
following manner:

(a) In the event the number of RIIs who have submitted valid Bids in the Offer is equal to or less
than Maximum RII Allottees, (i) all such RIIs shall be Allotted the minimum Bid Lot; and (ii)
the balance available Equity Shares, if any, remaining in the Retail Category shall be Allotted
on a proportionate basis to the RIIs who have received Allotment as per (i) above for the balance
demand of the Equity Shares Bid by them (i.e. who have Bid for more than the minimum Bid
Lot).

(b) In the event the number of RIIs who have submitted valid Bids in the Offer is more than
Maximum RII Allottees, the RIIs (in that category) who will then be Allotted minimum Bid Lot
shall be determined on the basis of draw of lots.

7.2 ALLOTMENT TO NIIs

Bids received from NIIs at or above the Offer Price may be grouped together to determine the total
demand under this category. The Allotment to all successful NIIs may be made at or above the Offer
Price. If the aggregate demand in this category is less than or equal to the Non-Institutional Category at
or above the Offer Price, full Allotment may be made to NIIs to the extent of their demand. In case the
aggregate demand in this category is greater than the Non-Institutional Category at or above the Offer
Price, Allotment may be made on a proportionate basis up to a minimum of the Non-Institutional
Category.

7.3 ALLOTMENT TO QIBs

For the Basis of Allotment to Anchor Investors, Bidders/Applicants may refer to the SEBI ICDR
Regulations or RHP / Prospectus. Bids received from QIBs Bidding in the QIB Category (net of Anchor
Portion) at or above the Offer Price may be grouped together to determine the total demand under this
category. The QIB Category may be available for Allotment to QIBs who have Bid at a price that is equal
to or greater than the Offer Price. Allotment may be undertaken in the following manner:

(a) In the first instance allocation to Mutual Funds for up to 5% of the QIB Category may be
determined as follows: (i) In the event that Bids by Mutual Fund exceeds 5% of the QIB
Category, allocation to Mutual Funds may be done on a proportionate basis for up to 5% of the
QIB Category; (ii) In the event that the aggregate demand from Mutual Funds is less than 5%
of the QIB Category then all Mutual Funds may get full allotment to the extent of valid Bids
received above the Offer Price; and (iii) Equity Shares remaining unsubscribed, if any and not
allocated to Mutual Funds may be available for allotment to all QIBs as set out at paragraph
7.4(b) below;

(b) In the second instance, allotment to all QIBs may be determined as follows: (i) In the event of
oversubscription in the QIB Category, all QIBs who have submitted Bids above the Offer Price
may be Allotted Equity Shares on a proportionate basis for up to 95% of the QIB Category; (ii)
Mutual Funds, who have received allocation as per (a) above, for less than the number of Equity
Shares Bid for by them, are eligible to receive Equity Shares on a proportionate basis along with
other QIBs; and (iii) Under-subscription below 5% of the QIB Category, if any, from Mutual
Funds, may be included for allocation to the remaining QIBs on a proportionate basis.

7.4 ALLOTMENT TO ANCHOR INVESTOR (IF APPLICABLE)

(a) Allocation of Equity Shares to Anchor Investors at the Anchor Investor Offer Price will be at

405
 the discretion of the issuer subject to compliance with the following requirements:

i. not more than 60% of the QIB Category will be allocated to Anchor Investors;

ii. one-third of the Anchor Investor Portion shall be reserved for domestic Mutual Funds, subject
to valid Bids being received from domestic Mutual Funds at or above the price at which
allocation is being done to other Anchor Investors; and

iii. allocation to Anchor Investors shall be on a discretionary basis and subject to:

 a maximum number of two Anchor Investors for allocation up to Rs.10 crores;

 a minimum number of two Anchor Investors and maximum number of 15 Anchor Investors
for allocation of more than Rs. 10 crores and up to Rs. 250 crores subject to minimum
allotment of Rs. 5 crores per such Anchor Investor; and

 a minimum number of five Anchor Investors and maximum number of 15 Anchor Investors
for allocation of more than Rs. 250 crores and an additional 10 Anchor Investors for every
additional Rs. 250 crores or part thereof, subject to minimum allotment of Rs. 5 crores per
such Anchor Investor.

(b) A physical book is prepared by the Registrar on the basis of the Bid cum Application Forms
received from Anchor Investors. Based on the physical book and at the discretion of the issuer
in consultation with the BRLM, selected Anchor Investors will be sent a CAN and if required,
a revised CAN.

(c) In the event that the Offer Price is higher than the Anchor Investor Offer Price: Anchor
Investors will be sent a revised CAN within one day of the Pricing Date indicating the number
of Equity Shares allocated to such Anchor Investor and the pay-in date for payment of the
balance amount. Anchor Investors are then required to pay any additional amounts, being the
difference between the Offer Price and the Anchor Investor Offer Price, as indicated in the
revised CAN within the pay-in date referred to in the revised CAN. Thereafter, the Allotment
Advice will be issued to such Anchor Investors.

(d) In the event the Offer Price is lower than the Anchor Investor Offer Price: Anchor Investors
who have been Allotted Equity Shares will directly receive Allotment Advice.

7.5 BASIS OF ALLOTMENT FOR QIBs (OTHER THAN ANCHOR INVESTORS), NIIs AND
RESERVED CATEGORY IN CASE OF OVER-SUBSCRIBED ISSUE

In the event of the Offer being over-subscribed, the Issuer may finalise the Basis of Allotment in
consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

The allocation may be made in marketable lots, on a proportionate basis as explained below:

(a) Bidders may be categorized according to the number of Equity Shares applied for;

(b) The total number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to each category as a whole may be arrived at
on a proportionate basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for in that category
(number of Bidders in the category multiplied by the number of Equity Shares applied for)
multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio;

(c) The number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to the successful Bidders may be arrived at on a
proportionate basis, which is total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in that
category multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio;

(d) In all Bids where the proportionate Allotment is less than the minimum Bid Lot decided per
Bidder, the Allotment may be made as follows: the successful Bidders out of the total Bidders
for a category may be determined by a draw of lots in a manner such that the total number of
Equity Shares Allotted in that category is equal to the number of Equity Shares calculated in
accordance with (b) above; and each successful Bidder may be Allotted a minimum of such
Equity Shares equal to the minimum Bid Lot finalised by the Issuer;

406
 (e) If the proportionate Allotment to a Bidder is a number that is more than the minimum Bid Lot
but is not a multiple of one (which is the marketable lot), the decimal may be rounded off to the
higher whole number if that decimal is 0.5 or higher. If that number is lower than 0.5 it may be
rounded off to the lower whole number. Allotment to all bidders in such categories may be
arrived at after such rounding off; and

(f) If the Equity Shares allocated on a proportionate basis to any category are more than the Equity
Shares Allotted to the Bidders in that category, the remaining Equity Shares available for
allotment may be first adjusted against any other category, where the Allotted Equity Shares are
not sufficient for proportionate Allotment to the successful Bidders in that category. The balance
Equity Shares, if any, remaining after such adjustment may be added to the category comprising
Bidders applying for minimum number of Equity Shares.

7.6 DESIGNATED DATE AND ALLOTMENT OF EQUITY SHARES

on such terms and conditions and either at a premium or at par or (subject to compliance with the provisions
of Section 54 of the Act) at a discount and at such time as they may from time to time think fit with the sanction
of the company in the general meeting to give to any person or persons the option or right to call for any shares
either at par or premium during such time and for such consideration as the Directors think fit.”
Article 11 provides that “If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights
attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, subject to
the provisions of the Act, and whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied with the consent in
writing, of such number of the holders of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed
at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class, as prescribed by the Act.”
Article 12 provides that “The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or
other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be
deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.”
Article 13 provides that “Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Board shall have the power to issue or re-issue
preference shares of one or more classes which are liable to be redeemed, or converted to equity shares, on such
terms and conditions and in such manner as determined by the Board in accordance with the Act.”

Further issue of shares

Article 14 provides that “(1) The Board or the Company, as the case may be, may, in accordance with the Act and
the Rules, issue further shares to –
(a) persons who, at the date of offer, are holders of equity shares of the Company; such offer shall be made in
proportion, as near as circumstances admit, to the capital paid up on these shares at the date;
(b) by a notice specifying the number of shares offered limiting a time not less than thirty days from the date of
the offer and if not accepted, will be deemed to be declined.
(c) The offer aforesaid shall be deemed to include a right exercisable by the person concerned to renounce the
shares offered to them in favour of any other person and the notice referred to in sub-clause (b) hereof shall contain
a statement of the right to renounce. Provided that the directors may decline, without assigning any reason to allot
any shares to any person in whose favour any member may renounce the shares offered to him.
(d) After the expiry of the time specified in the aforesaid notice, or on receipt of earlier intimation from the person
to whom such notice is given that he declines to accept the shares offered, the Board of Directors may dispose off
them in such manner and to such person(s) as they may think in their sole discretion, fit.
Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-clause (1) thereof, the further shares aforesaid may be offered to any
persons, whether or not those persons include the persons referred to in in sub-clause 1 (a) above in manner
whatsoever, provided:
(a) If a special resolution to that effect is passed by the Company in General Meeting, or
Nothing mentioned in sub-clause 1 (c) hereof, shall be deemed:
(i) to extend the time within which the offer should be accepted or;
(ii) to authorize any person to exercise the right of renunciation for a second time on the ground that the person in
whose favour the renunciation was first made has declined to take the shares comprised in the renunciation.

upon the proceeds of sale thereof for all monies (whether presently payable or not) called or payable at a fixed
time in respect of such shares and no equitable interest in any share shall be created except upon the footing and
condition that this Article will have full effect. The Board may at any time declare any share to be wholly or in
part exempt from the provisions of this clause.
(2) The Company’s lien, if any, on a share (other than fully paid-up shares) shall extend to all dividends or interest,
as the case may be, payable and bonuses declared from time to time in respect of such shares for any money owing
to the Company.
(3) Unless otherwise agreed by the Board, the registration of a transfer of shares shall operate as a waiver of the
Company’s lien.”

Company has a lien:
Provided that no sale shall be made—
(a) unless a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable; or

the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for
the time being of the share or to the person entitled thereto by reason of his death or insolvency or otherwise.
To give effect to any such sale, the Board may authorise some person to transfer the shares sold to the purchaser
thereof.
(a) unless a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable; or
(b) until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing stating and demanding payment of such part of
the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for
the time being of the share or to the person entitled thereto by reason of his death or insolvency or otherwise.”

Calls on shares

Article 21 provides that “(1) The Board may, from time to time, make calls upon the members in respect of any
monies unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium) and
not by the conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed times.

of payment, pay to the Company, at the time or times and place so specified, the amount called on his shares.”

of one or more members as the Board may deem appropriate in any circumstances.

thereof.”

date to the time of actual payment at such rate as may be fixed by the Board.”
(2) The Board shall be at liberty to waive payment of any such interest wholly or in part.”
Article 25 provides that “Any sum which by the terms of issue of a share becomes payable on allotment or at any
fixed date, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, shall, for the purposes of
these Articles, be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date on which by the terms of issue such sum
becomes payable.”
Article 26 provides that “The Board may if it thinks fit, subject to provisions of Section 50 of the Act –
(a) may, if it thinks fit, agree to and receive from any member willing to advance the same, all or any part
of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him; and

416
(b) upon the amount all or any of the monies so paid or satisfied in advanced, or so much thereof from time to
time exceeds the amount of calls then made upon the shares in respect of which such advance has been made, the
Company may (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate
as the member paying such sum in advance and the Board agree upon, provided that money paid in advance of
calls may be fixed by the Board. Nothing contained in this clause shall not confer on the member (a) any right to
participate in profits or dividends or (b) any voting rights in respect of the moneys so paid by him; until the same
would, but for such payment, become presently payable by him.”

Article 28 provides that “All calls shall be made on a uniform basis on all shares falling under the same class.”

Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing and Disclosure Obligations) Regulations, 2015, shall be duly

Subject to the provisions of Section 58 of the Act and Section 22A of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act,
1956 the Board may at its absolute and uncontrolled discretion and by giving reasons, decline to register or
acknowledge any transfer of shares whether fully paid or not. The right of refusal by the Board, shall not be

the Directors shall within one month from the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged with the
Company, send to the transferee and transferor notice of the refusal to register such transfer.
Provided that registration of transfer shall not be refused on the ground of the transferor being either alone or
jointly with any other person or persons indebted to the Company on any account whatsoever except when the
Company has lien on the shares. Transfer of shares/debentures in whatever lot shall not be refused.”
Article 33 provides that “In case of shares held in physical form, the Board may decline to recognise any

holder, and his nominee or nominees or legal representatives where he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons
recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares.

share which had been jointly held by him with other persons.”

Article 38 provides that “(1) Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or insolvency
of a member may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time properly be required by the Board
and subject as hereinafter provided, elect, either –
(a) to be registered himself as holder of the share; or
(b) to make such transfer of the share as the deceased or insolvent member could have made.

(2) The Board shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as it would have
had, if the deceased or insolvent member had transferred the share before his death or insolvency.

(3) The Company shall be fully indemnified by such person from all liability, if any, by actions taken by the Board
to give effect to such registration or transfer.”

himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects.

417
(2) If the person aforesaid shall elect to transfer the share, he shall testify his election by executing a transfer of
the share.”

Article 40 provides that “A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or insolvency of the holder
shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the
registered holder of the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a member in respect of the share,
be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company:
Provided that the Board may, at any time, give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered
himself or to transfer the share, and if the notice is not complied with within ninety days, the Board may thereafter
withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the share, until the requirements
of the notice have been complied with.”

Forfeiture of Shares

Article 42 provides that “If a member fails to pay any call, or instalment of a call or any money due in respect
of any share, on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Board may, at any time thereafter during such
time as any part of the call or instalment remains unpaid or a judgement or decree in respect thereof remains
unsatisfied in whole or in part, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment or
other money as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and all expenses that may have been
incurred by the Company by reason of non-payment.”
Article 44 provides that “If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in
respect of which the notice has been given may, at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice
has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect.”
Article 49 provides that “(1) A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of
the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding the forfeiture, remain liable to pay, and shall pay, to the Company
all monies which, at the date of forfeiture, were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares.
(2) All such monies payable shall be paid together with interest thereon at such rate as the Board may determine,
from the time of forfeiture until payment or realisation. The Board may, if it thinks fit, but without being under
any obligation to do so, enforce the payment of the whole or any portion of the monies due, without any allowance
for the value of the shares at the time of forfeiture or waive payment in whole or in part.
(3) The liability of such person shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all
such monies in respect of the shares.”

Company providing for the allotment to them respectively, credited as fully paid-up, of any further shares or other
securities to which they may be entitled upon such capitalisation, or as the case may require, for the payment by
