RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY:

The Risk Management Committee has formulated a Risk Management Policy pursuant to Section 134(3)(n)
which has been approved by the Board, which envisages the following:

• Identification of areas of Risk

• Assessing the impact of Risks

• Steps taken to mitigate the Risk.

The Major Segments of operations of the Company are Sugar and Chlor Alkali.

The major aspects of concern for the Sugar Sector are:

In respect of Sugar Segment inspite of our efforts in mechanization of Cane Harvesting through Sugar Cane
Harvesters development and development of high yielding varieties through Cane breeding programmes, Farmers

are still not coming forward for Cane Plantation due to higher income from other alternative crops compared to
Sugar Cane.

The Chlor Alkali segment is power intensive where Power constitutes a major input cost. Restricted power
supply and increased power costs have become a cause of concern. To mitigate this impact, a Solar Power
Plant has been commissioned at Kovvur. At Saggonda a 33 MW Coal Based Captive Power Plant has been
operative. This improves the power availability to the Chemical Plants at Saggonda. Increasing imports and
volatile market conditions constitute a major risk factor for the segment.
