wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

B) Transfer of businesses/subsidiaries:

I. Scheme of Arrangement between Larsen &
Toubro Limited ("Transferor Company") and
L&T Realty Properties Limited ("Transferee
Company") and their respective shareholders
and creditors under Section 230 to 232 of the
Companies Act, 2013:

As a step towards phased consolidation of the
real estate assets and undertaking, the Board at
its meeting held on December 8, 2025, approved
Scheme of Arrangement between the Company,
L&T Realty Properties Limited, a Wholly Owned

Subsidiary, and the respective shareholders and
creditors, pursuant to the provisions of Sections
230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the
Companies Act, 2013. The Scheme,
inter-alia,
provides for the transfer and vesting of the Realty
Undertaking of the Company into L&T Realty
Properties Limited, as a going concern. This
enables your Company to create a unified, future-
ready real estate entity capable of capitalizing
on India's real estate growth. The consolidation
would position L&T Realty to lead transformation
with renewed scale, agility and financial strength.

The consideration of such transfer, in accordance
with Sections 230 to 232 and other relevant
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, shall be
discharged by L&T Realty Properties Limited by
issuing 3,93,53,93,685 fully paid-up equity shares
of the face value of ?10 each to the Company,
at a premium of ^6 per share. The Scheme is
subject to the approval of the requisite majority
of the members and creditors of the respective
companies and sanction by the Hon'ble National
Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench.

II. Transfer of SuFin business to a wholly owned
subsidiary:

During the year under review, the Company
executed a Business Transfer Agreement with
SuFin Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, for the transfer of its e-commerce
platform business pertaining to industrial and
construction goods ("SuFin Business"), on a going
concern basis. The SuFin business was transferred
to SuFin Limited, on April 1, 2026, for a total
consideration of ^42.9 crore (subject to post
closing adjustments).

SuFin operates with a startup-like model,
characterised by continuous innovation, smaller
transaction sizes, and a large and diverse
counterparty base. Its sales approach and
employee skill requirements differ significantly
from those of the Company. Accordingly, SuFin's
growth potential would be best realised by
operating as an independent subsidiary rather
than as a division of the parent company.

III. Sale of stake in Nabha Power Limited

Keeping in view with your Company's broader
strategy to exit power development business,
during the year under review, L&T Power
Development Limited ("LTPDL"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company entered into a
definitive agreement with Torrent Power Limited
for the divestment of 100% of the equity share

capital and convertible instruments held in Nabha
Power Limited ("NPL"), for a consideration of
^3,661 crore. The proposed transaction is subject
to receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and
fulfilment of customary closing conditions.

IV. Divestment of L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad)
Limited

Your Company has executed a Share Purchase
Agreement on April 29, 2026, with Hyderabad
Metro Rail Limited, a Government of Telangana
Enterprise, to divest its entire equity stake in its
subsidiary L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited
["LTMRHL"], for a consideration of ^1,461.47
crore. The transaction is subject to satisfaction
of customary conditions and expected to get
completed in FY2026-27. Upon completion,
LTMRHL would cease to be a subsidiary of your
Company. This is in line with your Company's
broader strategic direction of exiting the
development projects portfolio and redeploying
capital into our core engineering and technology-
led businesses, where greater opportunities for
growth and value creation could be leveraged.
