9 (1)(g) of Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of
Security Interest Act, 2002 and accordingly led listing application to BSE Limited, but
the Listing application led for 59,63,636 Equity shares by the Company to BSE Limited is
rejected because as per BSE, the Company had to take prior approval from the Shareholders
of the Company for allotment of shares to Rare Asset Reconstruction Pvt. Ltd. (now known
as "Rare Asset Reconstruction Limited). Against the same, Company had led an appeal
in Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT). The Company's appeal against the order of Stock
Exchange has also been rejected by Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT). Against the order
of SAT, the Company had led appeal with Supreme Court of India which is also dismissed by
the Supreme Court. Considering the dismissal of the appeal by the Supreme Court, the
necessary Special Resolution was passed by the Shareholders of the Company on 17th May,
2025 ratifying the allotment made on 2nd May, 2018 and the Company has led the fresh
application for listing of Shares with Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) which is still in
process/ pending with BSE.

ANNEXURE 'A' TO THE BOARD'S REPORT
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNING AND
OUTGO
[Section 134(3) (m) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 8(3) of the Companies
(Accounts) Rules, 2014]
A. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY:
O Installation of automatic power factor correction panels to reduce reactive power
losses. O Used energy ef cient motors & Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on pumps,
compressors etc. O Compressed Air System Optimisation by:
Regularly check for leakages.
Maintaining optimal air pressure to avoid over pressurising.
Shutdown of air compressor during ideal hours.
O Replaced conventional lighting with LED lighting.
O Installed automatic level sensors in all water storage tanks of the RO plant to
eliminate water over ow and minimise resource wastage.
B. TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION:
(a) Research & Development (R&D)
1. Speci c core areas in which R&D was carried out by the company: - Pumps and
Hydraulic turbines - Rotating Electrical Machines (Motors and Generators) - Pump as
Turbines (PAT)
2. Bene ts derived as a result of above R&D:
A new domain is added for our research which is Pump as Turbines (PAT). For PAT
development, we have utilized the combination of latest analytical tools and the existing
R&D lab facilities for testing. The testing results found satisfactory and R&D
focusing on continuous improvement of products. With the success of the current PAT
testing, R&D now focusing on the enquiries speci c to PAT to launch our products in
the market.
The Company has developed design for large pumps projects in few of the orders which
are manufactured and tested. A largest vertical turbine pump with rating of 4.7 MW is
designed and for which the model pump was also developed for studies. Also, high speci c
speed axial propeller pumps are designed during the year. The research work in new product
developments in pumps helped us to provide the best competent products in terms of the
product performance. A speci c care on cost optimization is already been taken for all new
developments.
3. Future Plan of Action:
The future R&D activities are focused on deriving new products by expanding the
product range. The development of Vertical Francis Turbine Pump is one of such example. It
is the rst time development and with this we can also aim for the vertical Francis
turbines of higher capacity. Apart from this, the focus on PAT designs to reach the market
requirement is also our focus of the year. This is apart from our regular focused R&D
in new product development as per the market requirements.
To achieve this, the combination of the latest numerical tools with advanced features
and the in-house
R&D testing lab facilities will be used with an aim to derive the methodology for
the product development with focus on reducing the design development time. For this, the
effective usage of the existing resources, latest state-of-the-art software like Pro/e,
CFX, ANSYS-Mechanical, CFTURBO, RMXprt, Maxwell and if possible acquiring technologies
from known external sources is planned. This plan is in line with our current business
potential and competitors' product range and market niche.

(b) Technology Absorption, Adaptation & Innovation
1. Efforts in brief, made towards technology absorption, adaptation and innovation.
a) During the year 2024-2025 for both 12kV, 40kA, 1250 Amp and 12kV, 40kA, 3150 Amp
Switchgear, balanced and additional type test that are over and above mandatory type tests
as per IEC 62271-100, IEC 62271-200 were completed. E.g. Seismic test as required by
client for speci c earthquake prone zones. Due to this in year 2023-24 we received orders
worth 4600 lakhs followed by orders worth 2100 Lakhs in 2024-25.
b) 12kV, 25kA, 1250 switchgear is further upgraded for higher internal arc capabilities
to 25kA for 1 sec as per IEC 62271- 200. The Company got encouraging response from many
clients. We have nalized one order worth 390 lakhs.
c) In the rotating machines group, major work was mainly directed towards indigenous
development of larger rating motors upto 3.8 MW and large irrigation. New product
development and cost reduction in the existing designs, processes and process-time
reduction in the existing products are also undertaken.
d) Successfully ushering in a new era of uid dynamics, our team has fully designed,
developed, and rigorously tested a groundbreaking vertical propeller pump (1800VP),
optimized for high ef ciency, low-NPSH operation, which achieved through advanced
CFD-driven impeller geometry and meticulously engineered diffuser casing, ensuring a ef
ciency exceeding 84%. Concurrently, also designed new high ow Vertical turbine PUMP
(1800VM).
e) In the turbine group, use of CFD Analysis software package for evaluation of
Hydraulic Performance and use of ANSYS-Mechanical software to evaluate structure design of
Kaplan and Francis Turbines enabling cost effective turbine geometry/arrangement.
2. Bene ts derived as a result of above efforts.
a. Medium Voltage Switchgear
For the Domestic market in the year 2024-2025 we have upgraded and certi ed our 12kv,
25kA
switchgear for highest level of certi cation (class 2) as per IEC 62271-100 & 200
e.g. for class E2,
C2. Based on this GETCO gave order for 750 lakhs to the Company in year 2023-24 which
was executed in 2024-2025. As a result company received further order of 2760 lakhs from
GETCO again in the year 2024-2025. This will continue in coming years also.
Apart from GETCO due to our efforts of re-certi cation orders from various prestigious
customers like IOCL Pipe Line and Re nery Plants, various Municipal Corporations orders
are received and executed..
