DIVIDEND

Considering the loss incurred during the year, the Board of Directors has not recommended any dividend for the
financial year.

SHARE CAPITAL

Your Company's total paid up Equity Share Capital continues to stand at Rs. 21,95,75,330/- as on 31st March 2026
comprising of 2,19,57,533 nos. of Equity Shares of face value of Rs. 10/- each. During the year, your Company has not

daily financial needs with operational cash flow and regularly monitors forecasts to ensure adequate liquidity. Excess
cash is held as cash and cash equivalents or invested in interest-bearing term deposits and highly marketable debt

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Your Company's fleet as on 31st March, 2026 stands 12 vessels (with a total capacity of 2,79,962 MT GRT and 3,62,413
MT DWT) comprising 10 container vessels (22,046 TEUs) and 2 dry bulk vessels (69,402 MT DWT), being India's one
of the largest container tonnage owning Company. The current container ship tonnages are rightly sized and priced
to suit the coastal trade. A detailed fleet profile forms part of this Annual Report.

The shipping market in FY 2025-26 continued to experience volatility, though with some signs of stabilization
compared to the pronounced disruptions of the previous year. The imbalance between supply and demand persisted,
albeit at a moderated pace, as the after-effects of fleet overexpansion in 2023 continued to ripple through the market.
The Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) surged over 150% YoY, fueled by early shipments ahead of U.S.
tariffs on China. Global container volumes rose 5.1% to 210M TEU, with Asia-North America and Asia-Europe routes
up 15.2% and 6.8%, respectively. Suez Canal disruptions forced rerouting via the Cape of Good Hope, tightening
effective capacity. By October 2024, Asia-Europe fleet deployment jumped 27% to 7.4M TEU, constraining overall
fleet growth. Dry Bulk fleet is expected to grow 5.2% between end 2024 and end 2026.

As reported last year, our vessel M.V. SSL Brahmaputra had experienced an Engine Room fire on 1st January 2024 at
the Gujarat coast to Jebel Ali-Sohar, UAE. All crew members were safe, with no pollution reported. The vessel was
taken out of operation for repairs. The incident was promptly reported to insurers. Repairs were completed at Jebel
Ali by 9th April 2024, after which the vessel was returned to the Charterers. There has been six cargo claims brought
on vessel M.V. SSL Brahmaputra. These matters are currently pending before the relevant courts. The Company does
not expect any liability to arise from these potential cargo claims, as it is adequately insured against such risks. The
details are included in this Report and Financial Statements.

CREDIT RATING

In recognition of our financial health and disciplined approach to risk management, CRISIL Ratings Limited has
reaffirmed our long-term credit rating at 'CRISIL A-/Watch Developing' for our long-term bank facilities.

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION, FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND
OUTGO

Sustainability drives our operations; delivering responsible shipping that creates value for business, people, and the
planet. While full decarbonization infrastructure evolves, we maximize every efficiency opportunity today through
voyage optimization, improvement in fleet performance, and smart operational practices.

In alignment with our commitment to sustainable maritime operations and IMO's decarbonization roadmap, we
prioritize energy efficiency across our fleet. Key steps include fuel efficient hull coatings, propeller modifications,
ESD and voyage optimization, yielding a reduction in fuel consumption YoY

Conservation of Energy

Energy conservation is embedded in our core operations via approved Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plans
(SEEMP Part III) for CII monitoring and improvement across all vessels. Key measures include LED lighting retrofits,
energy-efficient appliances, energy saving retrofits, advanced anti-fouling hull coatings, monitoring of hull condition,
weather routing, real-time digital platforms tracking fuel use, generator optimization, and predictive maintenance.

Energy Transition Initiatives

All vessels run on VLSO. We are exploring use of blended biofuels on our vessels. We collaborate with maritime
partners on alternative fuels, maintaining IMO DCS compliance (Regulation 22A) with RO-verified annual reporting
of fuel, distance, and hours.

IMO Data Collection System (IMO DCS) Compliance

In compliance with Regulation 22A of MARPOL Annex VI (mandatory since 1 January 2019 for vessels above 5,000
GT), the Company collects and reports annual fuel consumption, distance travelled, and sailing hours to the respective
Flag State. Data is verified and submitted to the IMO to support GHG reduction policymaking. The Company has
maintained robust, Recognized Organization (RO)-approved data collection systems.

GHG Reporting Framework

Comprehensive Scope 1-3 emissions tracked since FY22 via GHG Protocol, reported in BRSR and aligned with SASB
(Marine Transportation), GRI (climate disclosures), and UNGC principles.

EEXI and CII Compliance

In compliance with the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) regulations (effective 1 January 2023), the
Company has completed EEXI calculations and equipped all applicable vessels with Engine Power Limitation (EPL)
systems to restrict maximum engine output and reduce carbon emissions.

For Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) compliance, a digital analytics platform monitors fuel consumption and CII
performance in real time.

Operational measures implemented include:

• Weather routing

• Hull cleaning

• Trim and ballast optimization

• Cargo planning

• Engine Power Limitation (EPL)

Through SEEMP Part III vessel-specific CII reduction plans and continued use of VLSO, the Company proactively

identifies underperforming vessels and implements corrective actions to maintain favourable CII ratings. Full fleet¬
wide CII assessment is a near-term target.

The RightShip Rating Score is utilized as an independent benchmark for safety and environmental performance,

supporting continuous improvement across the fleet.”

responsible use of AI in daily operations. Employees are trained on approved AI tools, safe prompt engineering
practices, data classification awareness. The objective is to enable productivity gains through AI usage.

• Quarterly Phishing simulation email campaigns conducted for TSLL employees. :- Quarterly phishing
simulation campaigns are conducted to proactively assess and enhance the organization's resilience against
social engineering attacks. These controlled simulations mimic real-world phishing scenarios, including malicious
links, fake attachments, and impersonation emails, to evaluate employee behaviour in a safe environment. The
outcomes help identify vulnerable users, departments with higher risk exposure, and common attack vectors.
Based on the results, targeted “just-in-time” training is delivered to employees who interact with suspicious
content, ensuring immediate corrective action. This continuous testing approach significantly improves threat
detection capabilities, reduces click rates over time, and fosters a vigilant workforce.

security audit has been conducted by a newly onboarded specialist vendor aligned with ISO 27001 standards. The
audit involved an in-depth assessment of TSLL's IT infrastructure, systems, applications, policies, and controls to
evaluate their effectiveness against globally recognized information security benchmarks. The audit identified
critical gaps, control weaknesses, and improvement opportunities, providing a clear roadmap for remediation.
This initiative ensures alignment with industry best practices, enhances governance, and strengthens the
organization's compliance posture.

• POC of Vessel cyber security software for visibility of security posture on the vessels. A Proof of Concept
(POC) has been initiated for specialized maritime cybersecurity software aimed at enhancing visibility and control
over onboard vessel systems. This solution is designed to provide real-time monitoring of the vessel's IT and
OT environments, identifying vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential cyber threats across navigation,
communication, and operational systems. The POC evaluates the tool's capability to deliver centralized risk
insights, anomaly detection, and actionable intelligence tailored for maritime operations. The objective is to
assess feasibility, integration capabilities, and effectiveness in improving cyber risk management for vessels,
ultimately supporting safer and more secure maritime operations.
