STATE OF AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY

Over the past three decades, your Company has made
remarkable progress in establishing city gas infrastructure across
India’s most densely populated metropolitan area. Developing
such infrastructure and ensuring efficient gas distribution in the
nation’s commercial capital necessitate robust safety protocols,
flawless project execution capabilities and dependable
operations. The Company has built strong core competencies
that not only support the city's ongoing energy needs but also
position it to meet the growing demands of a rapidly expanding
urban landscape. With a vision to evolve into a diversified energy
enterprise, the Company has undertaken strategic initiatives
to both strengthen its core business and foray into emerging
sectors. These initiatives aim to unlock new revenue streams
and long-term growth. To realize this vision, the Company has
focused on targeted acquisitions, infrastructure development,
clean energy solutions and technological advancements.

Your Company has undertaken significant steps towards business
diversification by strategically investing in emerging energy
sectors. The acquisition of Unison Enviro Private Limited and entry
into the LNG retail segment through its joint venture Company
i.e. Mahanagar LNG Private Limited (‘
MLPL’), underscore its
commitment to strengthening its presence across the natural
gas value chain and capitalizing on growth opportunities. As a
part of this initiative, MLPL commissioned its first LNG dispensing
station in Aurangabad during the year, with plans to expand
across key strategic locations in Maharashtra and other regions.
This development is well aligned with the Government’s policy
direction to transition heavy-duty commercial vehicles from
diesel to LNG, thereby supporting India’s broader net-zero
emission goals.

Last year, your Company made a strategic entry into India’s
rapidly growing electric mobility sector through an investment
in 3EV Industries Private Limited, a manufacturer of electric
three-wheelers catering to both cargo and passenger segments.
Recognizing the increasing demand for lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells
in the mobility sector, the absence of large-scale domestic
manufacturing and the need to support India’s transition to
electric vehicles, your Company further strengthened its position
by committing to invest in Li-ion cell production through a Joint
Venture with International Battery Company, Inc. A 1 GWh cell
manufacturing facility is planned to be established in Bengaluru
in two phases. The plant will be technology-agnostic and will
initially produce prismatic NMC cells, primarily for the two¬
wheeler market. In subsequent phases, the facility will scale up
to 5 GWh capacity, incorporating LFP and other chemistries to
meet evolving market demands.

Your Company is also advancing in setting up Compressed Biogas
(‘
CBG’) plant and securing CBG sourcing from other producers,

aligning with the CBG blending mandate. This initiative will
enhance domestic biofuel production, promote sustainability and
reduce imports.

In line with its sustainability goals, your Company is actively
working towards meeting its captive energy requirements through
renewable sources. To this end, it is in the process of identifying
a suitable partner for the development of a solar power plant.
Beyond fulfilling its internal energy needs, the Company is
also exploring broader business opportunities in the rapidly
evolving renewable energy sector. These initiatives are aimed at
strengthening its long-term competitiveness, particularly in the
emerging green hydrogen space over the next 5 to 10 years. As
part of this strategy, the Company plans to establish a pilot green
hydrogen project to build operational experience and develop
practical use cases. This initiative will support future applications
such as hydrogen blending into the pipeline network and direct
dispensing into hydrogen-powered vehicles.

While actively expanding into new and emerging energy domains,
MGL remains firmly committed to its core business of city gas
distribution. The Company is pursuing strategic acquisitions and
partnerships to broaden its geographical presence and leverage
the growing demand for CNG. Looking ahead, MGL’s focused
investments in LNG, green hydrogen, electric mobility and
renewable energy are set to enhance its role in driving India’s
energy transition. These initiatives will not only support long¬
term growth but also reinforce the Company’s commitment to
sustainability and innovation.

DIVIDEND

Your Company takes pride in delivering consistent value to our
shareholders through regular dividend distributions. The Board
of Directors, at its meeting held on January 28, 2025, declared
an Interim Dividend of H 12/- per equity share of face value of H
10/- each for the financial year 2024-25, which was paid to the
members whose names appeared in the Register of Members/ List

of the reserves by the Company. The closing balance of the
Retained Earnings of the Company after appropriation for the
financial year 2024-25 was H 5,791 Crore.

MERGER OF WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY WITH
THE COMPANY

The Board of Directors of your Company at its meeting held
on October 24, 2024, had approved the composite Scheme of
Amalgamation of Company’s wholly owned subsidiary i.e. Unison
Enviro Private Limited (‘
Transferor Company’) with the Company
(‘
Transferee Company’) subject to various necessary approvals.
The appointed date of the amalgamation as per scheme was
February 1, 2024. The Company had filed Application/ First
Motion Petition before The Hon’ble National Company Law
Tribunal, Mumbai Bench (‘
NCLT’), during the year and the same
was admitted by NCLT on December 6, 2024. Subsequently, the
Company has filed the Second Motion Petition before the NCLT
on March 27, 2025. Currently the Company is awaiting the final
hearing before the NCLT for approval of the proposed Merger.

The Transferor Company, being a wholly owned subsidiary,
was acquired to expand geographic presence and strengthen
the business. The proposed merger will streamline operations,
reduce costs and enhance capital utilization, improving market
reach and competitiveness, while maximizing shareholder value
and reducing regulatory burdens. Since the Transferor Company
is a wholly owned subsidiary, no new equity shares will be
issued and the entire share capital of the Transferor Company
shall be cancelled and extinguished. The Scheme is available
