| Effective From: | February 4, 2019 |

Objective and Scope
The Code is designed to ensure timely and adequate disclosure of UPSI that may impact the price of the company's securities, while maintaining uniformity, transparency, and fairness in dealings with all stakeholders. It also aims to preserve the confidentiality of UPSI and prevent its misuse. The Code applies to all persons within the organisation who may come into possession of price-sensitive information.
Key Norms for Fair Disclosure
The amended Code sets out a comprehensive framework of norms governing the handling and dissemination of UPSI. The principal requirements include:
- Prompt public disclosure of UPSI that would impact price discovery, as soon as credible and concrete information comes into being
- Uniform and universal dissemination of UPSI to all Stock Exchanges and on the company's official website to avoid selective disclosure
- Restricted external communication, with only designated Authorised Spokespersons permitted to discuss company matters with media, investors, and the investment community
- Prompt remediation in cases where UPSI is disclosed selectively or inadvertently, through immediate dissemination to Stock Exchanges and the company's website
- Fair and appropriate responses to queries on news reports and requests for verification of market rumours from regulatory authorities
- Need-to-know basis handling of all UPSI within the organisation
Authorised Spokespersons
Unless otherwise approved by the Managing Director, only individuals in the following designated positions are authorised to communicate company matters externally:
- Chairman
- Managing Director
- Chief Financial Officer
- Chief Business Officer
- Head – Investor Relations, M&A and Organization Growth Strategy
- Chief People Officer
Analyst Interactions and Record-Keeping
The Code specifies that the company shall provide only public information to analysts, research personnel, investor groups, and institutional investors. At least two Authorised Representatives are required to be present at all meetings and conference calls with analysts to prevent misquoting or misrepresentation. Transcripts and recordings of such meetings are to be uploaded on the company's website in accordance with applicable laws.
Confidentiality Safeguards and Legitimate Purpose Policy
Persons privy to UPSI are required to adopt specific safeguards to preserve confidentiality, including maintaining secure physical files, password-protected computer access, and deletion or destruction of confidential files after use. The Code also incorporates a Policy for Determination of Legitimate Purpose, framed under Regulation 3(2A) of the SEBI Insider Trading Regulations. This policy outlines factors to assess whether sharing of UPSI in a given instance constitutes a legitimate purpose, including whether the sharing is in the ordinary course of business, in the best interests of the company, or required to fulfil legal or contractual obligations. A structured digital database is to be maintained internally—with time stamping and audit trails—recording the nature of UPSI shared and the identities of persons involved, including their Permanent Account Numbers or other authorised identifiers.
