Material Related Party Transactions with MINVEN Solar Entities
The board has approved acquisition of a 49% equity stake in MINVEN Solar 01 Private Limited, MINVEN Solar 02 Private Limited, and MINVEN Solar 03 Private Limited (collectively, "MINVEN Companies"), with the acquisition in MINVEN Solar 01 still under process. Consequent to these acquisitions, the MINVEN Companies are or will become associate companies and related parties of MITCON Consultancy. The company proposes to provide one-time corporate guarantees of up to Rs. 50 Crores each to secure loans proposed to be availed by each of the three MINVEN Solar entities for their main business operations. Each proposed guarantee transaction exceeds the materiality threshold of 10% of consolidated turnover for FY 2025-26 under SEBI Listing Regulations, representing 43.38% of the listed entity's annual consolidated turnover for the immediately preceding financial year, and accordingly requires prior approval of members by way of an Ordinary Resolution. The guarantees will create a legally binding obligation only upon invocation, and no provision is made in the books of account. The issuance of these guarantees, along with existing loans, investments, and guarantees, would remain within the financial limit of Rs. 500 Crores approved by shareholders pursuant to Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013, vide Special Resolution passed on April 30, 2025. These transactions are in addition to the material related party transactions with the MINVEN Companies approved at the 43rd Annual General Meeting held on September 26, 2025.
The financial performance of the three MINVEN Solar entities, all incorporated in December 2024, is presented below:
| Particulars: | MINVEN Solar 01 – FY 2025-26 | MINVEN Solar 01 – FY 2024-25 | MINVEN Solar 02 – FY 2025-26 | MINVEN Solar 02 – FY 2024-25 | MINVEN Solar 03 – FY 2025-26 | MINVEN Solar 03 – FY 2024-25 |

| Net Worth: | -16,28,547 | 79,105 | -5,44,644 | 79,105 | -5,45,539 | 79,105 |
The Audit Committee reviewed and approved all three related party transactions at its meeting held on April 29, 2026, and the Board of Directors recommends the same for shareholder approval. The Audit Committee has confirmed that the transactions are not prejudicial to the interests of public shareholders and will be carried out on the same terms and conditions as would be applicable to any non-related party. None of the directors or key managerial personnel have any direct or indirect interest in these transactions.

Historical Stock Returns for MITCON Cons. & Engg.
| 1 Day | 5 Days | 1 Month | 6 Months | 1 Year | 5 Years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +0.39% | -3.22% | -4.40% | +7.82% | -4.22% | +147.52% |
Given that all three MINVEN Solar entities have negative net worth and are reporting losses in FY 2025-26, how might shareholder opposition to the Rs. 50 Crore corporate guarantees impact MITCON's ability to expand its solar energy portfolio?
With the corporate guarantees representing approximately 43% of MITCON's consolidated annual turnover, what credit rating or balance sheet risks could materialize if the MINVEN Solar entities fail to achieve operational profitability within the next 2-3 years?
How might Dr. Prakash Vaidya's expertise in energy transition and carbon footprint reduction influence MITCON's strategic direction and future investments in renewable energy beyond the current MINVEN Solar ventures?
