The company fixed June 20, 2025, as the cut-off date for the purpose of reckoning the names of members entitled to receive a postal ballot notice and voting rights.
The remote e-voting will commence on June 24 and end on July 23.
As the company is under capacity expansion mode, a major portion of its capital expenditure requirements has to be funded by debt, the notice explained.
The company borrows in the form of NCDs, rupee term loans from banks and financial institutions, foreign currency borrowings, foreign currency bonds, etc.
The NCDs are raised by the company under the public issue route or through a private placement basis.
In addition to the capital expenditure requirement, the company needs to borrow to meet its working capital requirement and other general corporate purposes, which is partly proposed to be met through the issuance of NCDs.
