Update on the Fire Incident at the Company’s Fragrance facility located at Vashivali.

A fire incident occurred at the Company’s Vashivali facility in April 2024.

There was no loss of human life, and the safety of all personnel was ensured.

The Company has comprehensive insurance coverage including cover for loss
of profit.

The Company operates five manufacturing locations in India and, in response to the
incident, swiftly implemented a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) by shifting production
to alternate sites.

The new facility is projected to be re-established within 9 to 12 months.

All facilities are now operating in double/triple shifts, ensuring adequate capacity to
meet current and future customer requirements.

Recently commissioned Indonesia facility is ramping up production to cater to both
local and export orders, ensuring continuity and fulfilling commitments to overseas
customers.

An exceptional loss of ₹120 crore (net of tax) was recorded during the quarter due to
the fire, covering plant and machinery, building, and inventory. This loss is expected
to be fully offset by insurance reimbursement in FY2025.

The Company has filed a request for interim payment of Rs. 50 crore with the Insurance
Company. The Insurance company is carrying out the necessary procedure to process
the claim .
