Board Meeting Details and Regulatory Compliance

The company has formally notified the National Stock Exchange Limited and BSE Limited about this corporate development pursuant to Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Investment and Financial Structure

The company will invest Rs. 37.66 lakh (equivalent to 150,000 AED) as cash consideration for the subsidiary formation. This wholly owned subsidiary will hold 100% capital contribution from Hind Rectifiers Limited, ensuring complete control over the international holding structure.

Strategic Purpose and Business Function

The proposed subsidiary will not undertake any direct business activities and will function solely as a holding company for all existing and future overseas subsidiaries of Hind Rectifiers Limited.
