Jai Balaji Industries Limited has been assigned an ESG rating of 53 for FY26 by ESG Risk Assessments and Insights Limited. The rating reflects the company's performance on environmental, social, and governance parameters as assessed by the independent agency.

Independent assessment methodology

The ESG report was independently prepared by the agency based solely on information available in the public domain. This distinction highlights that the score is an external observation rather than a result of a commissioned audit or detailed internal data submission.

The disclosure serves to inform exchanges and investors of the external evaluation without implying a formal partnership or contractual engagement between the company and the rating provider.
