NON-IFRS MEASURES

We have disclosed our EBITDA in this Form 6-K, which is a non-IFRS financial measure.

EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to profit /(loss) for the period or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to the most comparable IFRS measure profit /(loss) for the period, see “Item 3. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

SIFY TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In Millions of Rupees, except share, per share data and as stated otherwise)

1.	Reporting entity

Sify Technologies Limited (“Sify” or the “Company”) is a Company domiciled in India. The address of the Company’s registered office is 2nd Floor, TIDEL Park, 4, Rajiv Gandhi Salai, Taramani, Chennai – 600113, India. The Company and its subsidiaries Sify Technologies (Singapore) Pte. Limited, Sify Technologies North America Corporation, Sify Data and Managed Services Limited, Sify Infinit Spaces Limited (SISL), Sify Digital Services Limited (SDSL) and SKVR Software Solution Private Limited (are together referred to as the ‘Group’ and individually as ‘Group entities’). The Group offers converged ICT solutions comprising Network Services, Data Center Services and Digital Services which includes cloud and managed services and applications integration services. The Company was incorporated on December 12, 1995 and is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of Sify Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries.

2.	Basis of preparation

a.	Statement of compliance

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on October 25, 2025.

b.	Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each Group entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Indian rupee is the functional currency of Sify and its Indian subsidiaries. US dollar is the functional currency of Sify’s foreign subsidiaries located in the US and Singapore.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees which is the Group’s presentation currency. All financial information presented in Indian Rupees has been rounded up to the nearest millions except where otherwise indicated.

Commencing with this Form 6-K, management elected to change the presentation of the Company's financial statements and accompanying footnote disclosures from thousands to millions. The change in presentation had no material impact on previously reported financial information, but certain amounts reported for prior periods may differ by insignificant amounts due to the nature of rounding relative to the change in presentation. In addition, historical percentages and per share amounts presented may not add to their respective totals or recalculate due to rounding.

Convenience translation: Solely for the convenience of the reader, the financial statements as of and for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2025 have been translated into United States dollars (neither the presentation currency nor the functional currency of the Group) based on the reference rate in the City of Mumbai on September 30, 2025 for wire transfers in Indian rupees as published by the Reserve Bank of India which was ₹ 88.7923 per $1.00. No representation is made that the Indian rupee amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into United States dollar at such a rate or at any other rate on September 30, 2025 or at any other date.

c.	Use of estimates

The preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period of change and future periods, if the change affects both and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

3.	Material accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Basis of consolidation

The financial statements of the Group companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Thus, the Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has all the following:

(a) power over the investee;

(b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

Generally, there is a presumption that majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of voting of similar rights of an investee, the group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company

Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for annual periods beginning after April 1, 2025 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that could have potential impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company are:

IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries without Public Accountability:

On May 9, 2024, International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS 19- Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures. The standard defines that a subsidiary without public liability may provide reduced disclosures when applying IFRS Accounting Standards in its financial statements. The standard is optional for eligible subsidiaries and establishes the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries that choose to apply it.

* The Company had earlier disclosed certain assets which are in the nature of Plant and Machinery along with Buildings. These assets are depreciated over the estimated useful life of Plant and Machinery in accordance with the accounting policy consistently applied by the Company. The Company believes that it is more appropriate to disclose such Assets as part of Plant and Machinery rather than as part of Buildings. Hence, the cost of such Assets and the accumulated depreciation thereon, as on April 1, 2025 has been transferred to the Plant and Machinery for a better presentation.

Legal proceedings

a) Proceedings before Department of Telecommunications

Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR):

Sify Technologies Limited (Sify) was issued with Unified License (non-access/non-mobile license) pursuant to which Sify provides ISP, NLD & ILD services to enterprise customer and continues to comply and pay a license fee on the licensed activities.

DoT demanded a license fee on the non-telecom business revenue on both mobile license holders and non-mobile license holders, including Sify. The demand made by DoT was challenged by mobile (access license) operator and the Supreme Court held that mobile operators have to pay the license fee on the gross revenue as they were using spectrum and had opted for migration package. The Supreme Court later clarified that this judgement was not applicable to non-access/non-mobile operators.

The Supreme Court had by its order dated June 10, 2020, accepted the stance of the DoT that the licenses of PSUs are different and the judgement of October 24,2019 could not be made the basis for raising demands against PSUs as they are not in the actual business of providing Mobile Services to the General Public.

DoT had also issued a demand notice to Sify and to other non-mobile operators seeking to charge a license fee on the non-telecom revenue. Sify challenged the demands before Madras High Court in 2013 and the demands were stayed. Meanwhile one of the non-access and non- mobile license holder, similar to the license held by Sify, challenged the demand made by DoT before TDSAT, Delhi. TDSAT vide its Order dated February 28, 2022 quashed the demands made by DoT seeking license fee, interest on license fee, penalty and interest on penalty on the revenue accruing from other business revenue (i.e. non-telecom) other than the licensed based activities.

DoT issued a demand notice on August 22, 2013 to the Company demanding license fee on the non-telecom revenue against which the Company filed petitions before Hon’ble Madras High Court. After finally hearing the parties, the Hon’ble Madras High Court vide its judgement dated April 30, 2024 quashed the 18 demands made by DoT and held that DoT cannot claim license fee on the non-telecom revenue.

DoT has appealed before the Madras High Court challenging the judgement dated April 30, 2024 and the Madras High Court had stayed the judgement dated April 30, 2024 and this was challenged by Sify before the Madras High Court and the order was passed in favour of Sify that no coercive action to be taken by DoT pending disposal of the Writ Appeal.

On May 22, 2025, DoT invoked the bank guarantee submitted by Sify without any notice or intimation, claiming that Sify has failed to pay the license fee on “Other Income” for the FY 2020-21, 2021 - 22 and 2023 – 24 and encashed a sum of ₹68.70 million despite several requests and objections submitted by Sify.

Sify submitted its objection and sought clarification on the invocation of bank Guarantee. Further a representation was also submitted to Member Finance and Joint Controller of DoT on the invocation of BG. However, no workings were provided by DoT till date. By letter dated May 28, 2025 and June 11,2025, DoT called upon Sify to replenish the BG for a sum of ₹68.70 million and informed to take further action. Sify accordingly replenished the BG under protest and without prejudice to rights.

On July 10,2025, Sify filed writ petitions with the Hon’ble Madras High Court challenging the order of invocation of BG and sought for refund of the encashed amount. The Hon’ble Madras High Court granted interim injunction against DoT and tagged the petitions along with the Writ Appeals. The Writ petitions are pending for final arguments along with the Writ Appeal.

License fee on Pure Internet:

DoT migrated the licenses of few service providers, whose licenses expired in 2013 to UL regime and demanded license fee on pure Internet only from those migrated service providers without providing level playing field on pure internet services. However, the Company through Internet Service Providers Association of India (ISPAI) challenged the said condition before TDSAT. TDSAT by its order dated October 18, 2019 set aside the demand made by the DoT and held that license fee is not chargeable on the Internet Service Providers. DoT has filed appeal before Supreme Court and the appeal is pending for final hearing.

Subsequently DoT notified level playing field for all the telecom licensed operator and accordingly the company has started paying AGR on pure internet effective as of April 1, 2022 pursuant to the notification issued by DoT.

b) Online Exam case:

(i)The Company has conducted online examination for more than a decade using its platform (I-Test) and delivered large volume online examinations for several reputed clients including Staff Selection Commission (“SSC”) (customer), and is certified on quality and security for CMMI Level 5 and CERT-in. After technical evaluation, the Company was awarded a contract dated April 12, 2016 for a period of 2 years and accordingly Sify had successfully conducted 15 such Pan India online examination under the supervision of customer for more than 20 million candidates with 40,000 unique questions. In one of the combined group level examinations dated February 21, 2018, screenshots of a few of the questions appeared on social media. The Company brought to the notice of the Chairman of the customer and the said question paper was cancelled and the candidates were asked to redo the examination with different set of question paper within couple of hours. Further at the request of customer, re-examination was also conducted after couple of weeks. Hence there was no damage to the sanctity of the examination as immediate action was taken jointly by the Company and customer. However, some parties provoked candidates and continued to claim that the question paper was leaked and insisted customer to cancel the entire examination process. As few candidates continued to protest, the Govt of India directed the investigating authority to conduct an enquiry into the allegations. A PIL was also filed before the Hon’ble Court for cancellation of the examination process. However, the Hon’ble Court appointed a high level technical committee to conduct enquiry and submit a report to the Court.

A detailed report was submitted by the committee and investigating team before the Hon’ble Court, which held that there was no evidence to show that the examination process was tainted and hence the PIL stood dismissed. Accordingly, SSC released all the payments to Sify for the examination. In 2018, the investigating authority filed its final report stating that one of the candidate along with her husband engaged in malpractice with a sole intention to cancel the examinations uploaded few questions in the social media. There was no allegations against Sify or its employee. After 4 years, the investigating authority chose to file 3 additional supplementary chargesheet naming the company and one of its employee for not following the standard operating procedure. The Company believes that it had successfully delivered the examination in terms of RFP and the consideration was released by customer after receiving the report from the Committee.

The investigating agency choose to name the Company and one of its employees in the chargesheet filed before the CBI Court. Three CBI cases were listed for arguments on admission of charges.

(ii) The Department of Education, Bihar issued an order of blacklisting, after the Company had conducted several online examinations, alleging deficiency without taking into account the deficiency of the agency responsible for the questions, SCERT. A representation was made by the Company along with all the required documents seeking revocation of the Order of blacklisting. While the Company’s representation for revocation of the order was pending for consideration, the Company was advised to file a petition before Hon’ble High Court, Patna. Accordingly, the petition filed by Sify to revoke the order of blacklisting was set-aside by Hon’ble Chief Justice of Patna High Court by its order dated April 16, 2025 on merits after hearing both the parties and in the same order the Patna High Court had remitted the matter back to the concerned authority for renewed consideration of the reasons provided by the Company. Subsequently, the Department of Education conducted a meeting on July 8, 2025 as per the direction of the Patna High Court and had issued an order on July 21, 2025 debarring the Company from participating in education tenders in Patna until March 31, 2026. The Company challenged the debarment order before the Patna High Court and on a hearing before the Patna High Court on October 8, 2025, both the Company and the Department of Education presented their arguments. On14.10.2025 the Patna High Court had passed orders dismissing the writ petition filed by the Company. The Company is in the process of finalizing its next course of action in consultation with its lawyers.

C) Others:

The company is party to additional legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on the available information as at September 30, 2025, the Company believes that it has adequate legal defences for these actions and that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

The Company has received an order passed under section 7A of the Employees Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 from Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) claiming provident fund contribution aggregating to ₹ 6.4 million on special allowances paid to employees. The company has filed a writ petition before High court of Madras and obtained the stay of demand. In February 2019, the Supreme Court held, in a similar case, that Special allowances paid by the employer to its employee will be included in the scope of basic wages and subject to provident fund contribution. However, the Supreme Court has not fixed the effective date of order.

During the financial year 2019-20, Directorate General of Goods and Services Tax Intelligence (DGGI) performed an inspection based on the analysis of service tax returns filed by the company in the past. The Company has been categorizing services relating to e-Learning and Infrastructure Management Services provided to foreign customers billed in convertible foreign currency under OIDAR services while filing its half-yearly service tax return. However, based on the Place of Provision of Services Rules then applicable under the Finance Act, 1994, Service Tax has to be paid for OIDAR services provided to foreign customers even if the conditions for qualifying as export of services are met. Hence, the DGGI contended that Service Tax should be paid on the services classified as OIDAR services in the returns. The total contended during the period April 2014 to November 2016 of Service Tax was ₹ 161.8 million and the Interest & Penalty as applicable. The company believes that the services relating to e-learning and infrastructure management services will not fall under OIDAR services and also the activities covered under E-learning and IMS does not meet the conditions for taxation under the provisions applicable as OIDAR and hence there is no liability. However, during the investigation, the Company has paid ₹ 64.6 million under protest to continue the proceeding with the relevant adjudicating authorities. Thereafter, the DGGI has issued Show Cause Notice and the Company has replied on the same. The matter is pending with the Adjudicating Authority. The company believes that no provision is required to be made against this demand. The amount of ₹ 64.6 million paid under protest is accounted as Balance with Service Tax authorities and disclosed under “Other assets” Note.10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sri Devara Suri Appa Rao and four others have initiated a Writ Petition before the High Court of Andra Pradesh, Amaravati bench challenging the allotment of land measuring approximately 0.25 acres by the State Government of Andhra Pradesh in Sy No.134 of Paradesipalem village in favour of Sify Infinit Spaces Limited (SISL) by way of G.O.Ms.No.29 dated August 1, 2025 as illegal, arbitrary and violative of the petitioner's right. The Petitioners claim to be the legal heirs of the late Sri Devara Appaya who was granted patta on March 03,1905. In 2007, the Vishakapatanam Urban Development Authority attempted to take possession of the property by classifying the property as Banjar Dry (uncultivated land). The petitioner had filed a revision petition before the Director of Survey and Settlement Mangalagiri and such is pending adjudication.

Risk management systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the risk management framework. The Group Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

Credit risk: Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables, treasury operations and other activities that are in the nature of leases.

Trade and other receivables

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Management considers that the demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk. The Group is not exposed to concentration of credit risk to any one single customer since the services are provided to and products are sold to customers who are spread over a vast spectrum. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of the customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of the business.

Cash and cash equivalents and other investments

In the area of treasury operations, the Group is presently exposed to counter-party risks relating to short term and medium-term deposits placed with public-sector banks, and also to investments made in mutual funds.

Guarantees

The Group’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only to subsidiaries.

The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for monitoring the counterparty credit risk and has been vested with the authority to seek Board’s approval to hedge such risks in case of need.

Liquidity risks: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. Typically, the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, servicing of financial obligations. In addition, the Group has concluded arrangements with well reputed Banks and has unused lines of credit that could be drawn upon should there be a need. The Company is also in the process of negotiating additional facilities with Banks for funding its requirements.

Market risk: Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings or fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables. The Group is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk (currency risk), interest rate risk and the market value of its investments. Thus, the Group’s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.

Currency risk: The Group’s exposure in USD, Euro and other foreign currency denominated transactions gives rise to Exchange Rate fluctuation risk. The Group’s policy in this regard incorporates:

Forecasting inflows and outflows denominated in US$ for a twelve-month period

Estimating the net-exposure in foreign currency, in terms of timing and amount

Determining the extent to which exposure should be protected through one or more risk-mitigating instruments to maintain the permissible limits of uncovered exposures.

Carrying out a variance analysis between estimate and actual on an ongoing basis and taking stop-loss action when the adverse movements breach the 5% barrier of deviation, subject to review by Audit Committee.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Industry Overview

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services play a crucial role in driving digital transformation across various sectors. Organizations are increasingly leveraging these services to enhance operational efficiency, improve customer experiences, and foster innovation. ICT services enable digital transformation, emphasizing the opportunities they create, the demand for skilled manpower, the breadth of appropriate tools, and the importance of sound infrastructure.

The advent of ICT has unlocked numerous opportunities for businesses and institutions, allowing them to adapt and thrive in the digital age.

Key opportunities include:

Enhanced Efficiency: Automation of routine tasks through ICT services reduces manual intervention, leading to increased productivity. For instance, cloud computing enables organizations to streamline their operations and access resources on-demand, minimizing downtime and operational costs.

Improved Customer Engagement: Digital platforms facilitate real-time interaction with customers. Through social media, mobile applications, and chatbots, businesses can engage with their customers more effectively, tailoring their services to meet specific needs and preferences.

Data-Driven Decision Making: ICT services enable organizations to gather, analyze, and interpret vast amounts of data. This data-centric approach empowers businesses to make informed decisions, predict market trends, and personalize offerings, ultimately driving revenue growth.

Global Reach: With ICT services, companies can easily expand their operations beyond geographical boundaries. E-commerce platforms and digital marketing strategies allow businesses to reach a global audience, opening new markets and increasing their customer base.

Innovation and Agility: ICT fosters a culture of innovation by providing tools and platforms for rapid prototyping and agile development. Organizations can quickly adapt to changing market conditions, launching new products and services faster than ever before.

As organizations embark on their digital transformation journeys, the demand for skilled manpower has surged. The integration of ICT services requires professionals who can navigate the complexities of digital technologies.

This demand manifests in several ways:

Specialized Skills: Professionals with expertise in areas such as cloud computing, data analytics, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence are increasingly sought after. These skills are essential for implementing and managing ICT services that drive digital transformation.

Continuous Learning: The rapid evolution of technology necessitates ongoing education and training. Organizations are investing in upskilling their workforce to keep pace with technological advancements and maintain a competitive edge.

Interdisciplinary Knowledge: The convergence of ICT with other fields, such as finance, healthcare, and education, calls for professionals who possess a blend of domain-specific knowledge and ICT skills. This interdisciplinary approach enhances problem-solving capabilities and fosters innovation.

Leadership and Change Management: As organizations adopt digital strategies, there is a growing need for leaders who can guide teams through the transformation process. Effective change management skills are crucial to address resistance and ensure successful adoption of new technologies.

Breadth of Appropriate Tools:

The digital transformation journey is heavily reliant on a diverse array of ICT tools that cater to different organizational needs. The breadth of these tools provides businesses with the flexibility to choose solutions that align with their specific goals.

Key categories of tools include:

Cloud Services: Cloud computing offers scalable infrastructure and services, enabling organizations to reduce costs and improve accessibility. Tools like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure allow businesses to deploy applications quickly and efficiently.

Collaboration Tools: Platforms such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom facilitate remote work and enhance collaboration among teams. These tools enable seamless communication and project management, fostering a culture of teamwork regardless of physical location.

Data Analytics Platforms: Tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Google Analytics empower organizations to analyze data and gain actionable insights. This capability is vital for informed decision-making and optimizing business strategies.

Cybersecurity Solutions: As digital transformation increases exposure to cyber threats, robust cybersecurity tools are essential. Solutions such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption software protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with regulations.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Systems: Platforms like Salesforce and HubSpot help organizations manage customer interactions effectively. These systems enable personalized marketing, sales tracking, and customer service enhancements.

Sound Infrastructure:

The backbone of successful digital transformation lies in a sound ICT infrastructure. Without a robust infrastructure, organizations may struggle to implement and leverage ICT services effectively.

Key components of a sound infrastructure include:

Network Reliability: A strong and reliable network is fundamental to ensuring uninterrupted access to ICT services. High-speed internet connectivity and resilient networking solutions are critical for seamless operations.

Data Storage Solutions: As data generation continues to rise, efficient data storage solutions are essential. Organizations need scalable storage options, such as cloud storage and data warehouses, to manage and analyze large volumes of data securely.

Integration Capabilities: Effective digital transformation often requires the integration of various ICT tools and platforms. A well-designed infrastructure should support interoperability between systems, enabling data sharing and streamlined processes.

Scalability: Organizations must invest in scalable infrastructure that can grow with their needs. This flexibility allows businesses to adapt to changes in demand and technological advancements without incurring significant costs.

Security Measures: Robust security measures are crucial to protecting organizational data and maintaining customer trust. This includes implementing firewalls, encryption, and regular security audits to safeguard against potential breaches.

ICT services are integral to enabling digital transformation, presenting a multitude of opportunities for organizations to innovate and grow. However, the successful adoption of these services necessitates a skilled workforce, a diverse range of appropriate tools, and a sound infrastructure. As businesses continue to navigate the complexities of the digital landscape, investing in these areas will be crucial for achieving sustainable transformation and remaining competitive in the market. By embracing ICT services, organizations can unlock their full potential and pave the way for a more connected and efficient future.

Strategy

Our foremost objective is to enable the digital transformation for our customers and equip them with the necessary tools, infrastructure and connectivity for such. In doing so, we seek to deliver value to all our stakeholders; be they employees, suppliers, environment, shareholders and the society at large.

In year 2025, our strategy was enhanced to advance the portfolio of services around “digital@core” to “AI@core”. AI is redefining the landscape of our current capabilities, enabling us to deliver advanced solutions that support our customers in accelerating their digital transformation journeys. Building on the foundation of our cloud-centric approach—where we successfully facilitated cloud migration, adoption, and scalable infrastructure—we are now expanding our strategy to integrate AI across our offerings. This evolution allows us to transform not only IT infrastructure but also applications and business processes, delivering greater value and impact. Our previous investments have laid a strong foundation, and we will continue to invest in expanding our capabilities and resources. At the same time, we are enhancing our internal operations through automation technologies to drive efficiency and innovation. Our AI-augmented solutions are being productized to meet the evolving needs of both domestic and global markets, aligning with the broader industry shift towards intelligent and automated digital ecosystems.

Key highlights of our strategy execution during fiscal year 2025 are as follows:

1. Continued Investments in Future-Ready Infrastructure and Technologies

We are actively expanding our hyperscale network footprint with deployments underway and augmenting of our core networks in the major cities. To address the rising network demand in Tier-2 cities—driven by deeper mobile penetration and the need for lower-latency access—we have initiated the development of Edge Data Centers (Edge DCs) closer to end users.

Our investment in Data Center capacity also continued this year, with total capacity now close to 200 MW. In alignment with our ESG commitments, we have signed long-term power purchase agreements for renewable energy, of which 99 MW was operational as of September 30, 2025. Looking ahead, we plan to construct additional Data Center facilities on greenfield sites, subject to evolving market demand.

2. Driving Scale Through Standardized Solutions

We have made significant progress in standardizing our solution portfolio, enabling us to serve a broader customer base with greater consistency and efficiency. This has enhanced our ability to deliver integrated solutions involving multiple service components, while also improving the overall customer experience. To further strengthen our offering, we have built a marketplace for all our services. This elastic platform enables the commoditizing of our services and customers can enable any of our services with minimum human intervention.

3. Advancing Automation and Intelligence Through Technology Investments

We are continuously investing in advanced tools and technologies to automate business processes across functions. These investments are focused on streamlining operations, enhancing customer engagement, and leveraging analytics derived from large volumes of data. Our goal is to optimize business performance while enabling more intelligent, data-driven decision-making across the organization.

4. To reskill our employees

We have invested in reskilling of our employees through our Learning and Development (L&D) programs. The training enablement is done through various modes like ILT, VLT, eLearning and Webinars. Around 4,350 associates have taken advantage of the eLearning platforms of Sify L&D. Around 297 (211 courses + 86 assessments) learning solutions have been internally created and 35,885 courses in Percipio (online third-party portal collaboration with our company) amounting to an aggregate duration of more than 118,157 hours including compliance and induction.

In line with specific business needs, certification programs are organized with a twin objective of meeting business goals and providing associates with an opportunity to strengthen their conceptual, functional and technical expertise.

Technology and Network Infrastructure

Geographic coverage:

Our network today reaches more than 1700 towns and cities and among them have more than 125,000+ links. This network is completely owned giving us complete control over its technology, traffic and speed. These points of presence, or primary nodes, reside at the core of a larger Internet protocol network with a star and meshed topology architecture thereby building in redundancy at every point and translating into minimum downtime for customers.

Today we offer the following services to our enterprise and consumer customers using our network.

	·	Internet access services,
	·	IP/ MPLS Virtual private networks
	·	SD WAN services
	·	Cloud Interconnect
	·	Internet based Voice services
	·	Layer 1 / Layer 2 networks
	·	Data center / cloud interconnections

Each point of presence contains data communications equipment housed in a secure facility owned, leased or operated on an infrastructure co-location basis by our Company. The last mile connecting to the customer can be a leased line, ISDN or point-to-multipoint radio link that we have licensed from the Wireless Planning Commission. We also use certain frequency radios, which do not require an operating license, in some locations. Our larger corporate customers access the point of presence directly through leased lines or wireless links.

Network Architecture

We ensure network reliability through several methods and have invested in proven technologies. We use routers to route traffic between nodes interconnected using a high-speed interface. Most of our applications and network verification servers are manufactured by market leaders in telecom equipment.

The primary nodes on the backbone network are connected by multiple high-speed fiber optic lines that we lease from long distance operators. The secondary nodes are connected by lower speed leased lines. A number of nodes are accessible from at least two other nodes, if not, by two long distance operators, allowing us to reroute traffic in the event of failure on one route. We reduce our exposure to failures on the local loop by usually locating our points of presence within range of service providers switching equipment and purchasing connectivity from multiple providers. To further maximize our network uptime, we are almost completely connected on fiber optic cables to the switching points of our service providers from our POPs.

In addition to a fundamental emphasis on reliability and security, our network design philosophy has focused on compatibility, interoperability, scalability and quality of service. We use Internet protocol with Multi-Protocol Label Switching, or MPLS, to transmit data, thus ensuring that our network is completely interoperable with other networks and systems and that we may port any application onto our network. The modular design of our network is fully scalable, allowing us to expand without changing the network design or architecture.

Network Operations Center: We maintain a network operation center located in Chennai (Madras) and a backup facility in Mumbai (Bombay) and Hyderabad. The Chennai facility houses our central network servers as well as our network staff who monitors network traffic, service quality and equipment at all our points of presence to ensure a reliable network. These operation centers are staffed 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week. We have backup power generators and software and hardware systems designed to prevent network downtime in the event of system failures. In the future, we may add additional facilities to supplement or add redundancy to our current network monitoring capability.

Data Center Infrastructure. We operate 14 concurrently maintainable Internet Data Centers, of which seven are located in Mumbai and two are located in Noida (UP) and Chennai and one each at Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kolkata. We offer managed hosting, security and infrastructure managed services from these facilities. These Data Centers are completely integrated with our IP / MPLS network which provides seamless connectivity for our customers from their premise to their applications hosted in the Data Centers.

Competition

The market we operate in is extremely competitive as the technology landscape is rapidly changing. While we compete with large incumbent players, we also face competition from smaller niche technology companies. We go through the process of Request for Proposals (RFP) from customers. Our ability to operate across the spectrum of ICT has enabled us to win many customers for ala carte integrated solutions. We foresee competition to further intensify with the digital revolutions giving rise to many smaller companies and also due to the trend of insourcing technology services by our customers.

Given our wide range of services, our competition is also extensive and varied. As the markets in India for corporate network/data services, Internet access services and online content expand, we will continue to see the entry of newer competitors and those with greater resources.

Individually, we expect to see competition intensify from established players like Reliance Jio, TATA Communications and Bharti for telecom services, Ctrl S, STT, Nxtra and Net Magic for Data Centers, proprietary leaders like IBM and localized players like Ramco for Cloud services, traditional software majors like Infosys, HP, Wipro and TCS for Applications Integration services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and commissions for sales and marketing personnel, salaries and related costs for executive, financial and administrative personnel, sales, marketing, advertising and other brand building costs, travel costs, and occupancy and overhead costs.

Depreciation and amortization

We depreciate our tangible assets on a straight-line basis over the useful life of assets, ranging from 3-8 years and, in the case of buildings, 28 years. System Software is amortised over a period of 1-3 years, Undersea cable capacity is amortised over a period of 12 years and other intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over 3-5 years.

Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or group of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Corporate assets for the purpose of impairment testing are allocated to the cash generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or group of units on a pro rata basis.

Inventories

Inventories comprising traded hardware and software are measured at the lower of cost (determined using first-in first-out principle) and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and associates to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill, as the same is not deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. Deferred Tax assets in respect of deductible temporary differences are recognised only to the extent of deferred tax liabilities on taxable temporary differences. MAT credit entitlement has been recognised as a deferred tax asset.

Deferred tax arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates is recognized except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred taxation arising on the temporary differences arising out of undistributed earnings of the equity method accounted investee is recorded based on the management's intention. If the intention is to realize the undistributed earnings through sale, deferred tax is measured at the capital gains tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse. However, when the intention is to realize the undistributed earnings through dividend, the Group’s share of the income and expenses of the equity method accounted investee is recorded in the statement of income, after considering any taxes on dividend payable by the equity method accounted investee and no deferred tax is set up in the Group's books as the tax liability is not with the group.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations largely through cash generated from operations, equity issuance and bank borrowings. Our liquidity requirements are for meeting working capital needs and capital expenditure required to upgrade and maintain our existing infrastructure.

The following table summarises our cash flows for half years presented:

	Half year ended September 30, 2025			Half year ended September 30, 2024			Half year ended September 30, 2025
	₹ In million			₹ In million			US $ in million

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		-			4			-
Net increase / (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		(2,173	)		189			(23	)

As at September 30, 2025 we had a negative working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of ₹ 3,490 and as at September 30, 2024, we had working capital of ₹ 2,287 million, respectively, which includes cash and cash equivalents of ₹ 2,498 million and ₹ 3,807 million, respectively. We believe that with cash from operations, existing lines of credit and capital availability from our promotor group, we have sufficient resources to meet our liquidity requirements.

Our short-term borrowings to finance working capital requirements are primarily financed by cash credit facilities with banks. Borrowings for capital expenditures are financed through capital leases and long term loans.

We have borrowings of ₹ 38,392 million (including lease liability to the extent of ₹ 3,909 million) as of September 30, 2025 out of which ₹ 8,168 million will be repaid within a period of 12 months. Interest outflow on existing borrowings for next year is expected to be ₹ 2,889 million. We have utilized working capital facility of ₹4,160 million out of limit of ₹ 5,990 million during fiscal 2025. We have unutilized non fund limit of ₹ 5,130 million as of September 30, 2025.

Our ongoing working capital requirements are significantly affected by the profitability of our operations and we continue to periodically evaluate existing and new sources of liquidity and financing. We are taking steps to improve the cash position to meet our currently known requirements at least over the next twelve months. In light of the highly dynamic nature of our business, however, we cannot assure you that our capital requirements and sources will not change significantly in the future.

The Group has opted to transition to SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) from LIBOR. The Group entered into interest rate swaps in order to hedge the cash flows arising out of the interest payments of the underlying external commercial borrowing. The period of the swap contract is coterminous with the period of the underlying external commercial borrowing. As per the terms of the arrangement, the Company shall pay fixed rate of interest (8.9%) and receive variable rate of interest equal to SOFR + 2.5% on notional amount.

Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of ₹2,567 million, ₹ 4,477 million, in bank accounts and ₹ 1,582 million, ₹ 3,096 million in the form of bank deposits as of September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, out of which cash deposits in the form of margin money is restricted for use by us amounting to ₹ 1,582 million and ₹ 427 million respectively.

Tax Matters

Given below is the summary of tax implications for holders of ADSs and equity shares, upon withdrawal of such equity shares, who are not resident in India, whether of Indian origin or not. These tax provisions are governed by the Income-tax Act, 1961 (the “Act”) read with the Issue of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds and Equity Shares (through Depository Receipt Mechanism) Scheme, 1993 (the “1993 Scheme”) and the Depository Receipts Scheme, 2014, as amended.

This section is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of the individual tax consequences to non-resident holders under Indian law for the acquisition, ownership, and sale of ADSs and equity shares. Personal tax consequences of an investment may vary for non-resident holders in various circumstances, and potential investors should therefore consult their tax advisors on tax consequences of such acquisition, ownership, and sale, including specifically the tax consequences under the law of the jurisdiction of their residence and any tax treaty between India and their country of residence. Each prospective investor should consult his, her or its own tax advisors with respect to Indian and local tax consequences of acquiring, owning, or disposing of equity shares or ADSs.

It is essential to determine residential status to figure out the taxability of income on transfer of ADSs.

Residential status of individuals

A person is said to be resident in India during any fiscal year if he or she stays in India in that year:

	·	For a period of at least 182 days or
	·	For a period of at least 60 days and, within the four preceding years has been in India for a period or periods amounting to at least 365 days.

However, in case a:

	·	citizen of India who leaves India in a previous year for the purposes of employment outside of India,
	·	citizen of India or a person of Indian origin living abroad who visits India

then, the second condition as mentioned above will be applicable only if the person stays in India for a minimum of 182 days as against 60 days in the relevant fiscal year.

Further, the Finance Act, 2020 has amended the provisions of residential status as below:

In case of Indian citizens or a person of Indian origin living abroad visiting India having total income, other than income from foreign source, exceeding ₹ 15 lakhs, the period of stay would be considered as 120 days as against 60/ 182 days as provided above. Further such person would be treated as Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident (RNOR) if his stay in India is less than 182 days.

Further, an Indian citizen would be deemed to be a Resident of India if his total income (not including foreign sourced income) exceeds ₹ 15 lakhs during the previous year and if he/she is not liable to income tax in any other country or territory by reason of his domicile or residence or any other criteria of similar nature. Such person who is deemed to be resident of India would be treated as RNOR.

Residential status of corporates

As per the provisions of the Act a Company is said to be resident in India if it is an Indian Company or if the control and management of its affairs is situated wholly in India. If none of the aforesaid conditions are satisfied, the Company is treated as a non-resident as per the Act.

However, the Finance Act, 2015 brought in a concept called Place of Effective Management (‘POEM’). Accordingly, the residential status of companies was redefined. A Company would be considered a resident if it is an Indian Company or if its POEM, in that year, is in India. POEM was defined as a place where key management and commercial decisions that are necessary for conduct of business as an entity, as a whole are, in substance, made. Thus, a foreign Company will become a resident of India if its POEM is in India.

POEM is a well-recognized concept in OECD & UN Model Tax Convention. OECD recognized POEM as a tie-breaker rule for determining residential status and hence most of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (‘DTAA’) with India recognize it as a tie-breaker rule.

The Finance Act, 2016 deferred the applicability of POEM by one year and accordingly POEM was applicable from fiscal year 2017 onwards. Ministry of Finance issued detailed guidelines for POEM compliances vide CBDT circulars dated January 24, 2017, and October 23, 2017. However, it was clarified vide CBDT Circular dated February 23, 2017, that the POEM provisions shall not apply to a company having turnover or gross receipts of ₹ 500 million or less in a fiscal year. Further, the Government of India also prescribed guidelines specifying the exceptions, modifications, and adaptations to the provisions of the Act relating to computation of total income, treatment of unabsorbed depreciation, set off or carry forward and set off of losses, collection and recovery and special provisions relating to avoidance of tax applicable to foreign companies having POEM in India vide CBDT Notification No. 29/2018 dated June 22, 2018. This could increase the burden of compliances for our subsidiary companies situated outside India.

Taxability in India of income earned by Non-residents:

Taxation of Distributions

There is a long history regarding taxability of dividend income. While initially, the dividend income was taxable in the hands of the shareholders and was subject to tax withholding by the company distributing dividends, a major shift was made regarding dividend declared, distributed or paid on or after June 1, 1997 wherein a domestic company declaring, distributing or paying dividend was required to pay dividend distribution tax (“DDT”) at the rate of 10% as increased by applicable surcharge and cess, and dividend income was made exempt from tax in the hands of the shareholders of such domestic company, whether resident shareholders or non-resident shareholders. The DDT rate was subject to change from time to time. This regime generally continued up to fiscal year 2019-2020 except for fiscal year 2012-2013.

The Finance Act, 2017 provided that, dividend income in excess of ₹1 million per annum is taxable at the rate of 10% (plus applicable surcharge and education cess) for non-corporate resident investors.

However, the Finance Act 2020 brought back the earlier provisions relating to taxability of dividends, wherein dividend income will be taxed in the hands of shareholders based on their respective taxation limits and provided that companies will not be required to pay DDT. Accordingly, it was also provided that companies are required to withhold taxes on the dividends paid to shareholders as per the relevant provisions of the Act also adhering to the provisions of DTAA.

In order to remove the cascading effect of taxes on the dividends paid on the same profits, the amendments also provided for reduction of dividends received from other domestic companies or foreign companies from total income of the company receiving dividend if the same is distributed as dividends by such company (i.e., dividend distributed out of the dividends received from their other domestic companies or foreign companies). Such reduction is available for dividends distributed by the company up to one month prior to the due date of filing Income Tax Return. Consequent amendment was also made to the provisions for deductions to be allowed against dividend income in the hands of the recipient. It was provided that no deduction shall be allowed from dividend income, other than the deduction on account of interest expense and such deduction shall not exceed twenty percent of the dividend income. However, no such deduction of interest expense is allowed to a non-resident who is taxed on dividend income on gross basis.

Where the ADSs comply with the conditions of section 115AC / 115ACA of the Act and the Depository Receipts Scheme, 2014, the amount of dividend on ADSs is taxable at the rate of 10%.

Capital gains earned by Non-residents:

To enable Non-residents to invest in Indian companies without having to be involved with the Indian capital market, the Government has come out with a scheme under which the Indian company issues shares or convertible debentures / bonds in foreign currency. The shares / bonds are issued in the official name of an Indian depository / custodian. Under a back- to-back arrangement, an overseas depository issues Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) to the non-resident investors. GDRs include American Depository Receipts (ADRs). These receipts are tradable on an overseas exchange.

In essence the investment is in shares or bonds of an Indian company, but through GDR mechanism. However, as they are independently tradable, they are like simple derivative instruments.

In 2008, the Government came out with “Foreign Currency Exchangeable Bonds Scheme 2008” (FCEB). Under this scheme, the FCEBs are issued by the Indian company to non-residents under the GDR mechanism. The non-resident can exchange the bond, with the equity shares of a listed company, which is held by the FCEB issuing company (the issuing company and the listed company have to belong to the same group). Thus, bonds are “exchanged” for shares. The strength of the listed company is used to raise funds by a group company.

Section 115AC deals with taxation of incomes earned on bonds of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), and GDRs purchased by non-residents out of foreign currency. The incomes covered are dividend (other than on which Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) has been paid), interest and long-term capital gain.

Capital gains related to GDRs

Scope

Section 5 of the Income-tax Act (“the Act”) provides for the scope of income taxable in India for non-residents. Section 5(2) of the Act provides that income which is received; accrues or arises; or is deemed to accrue or arise to a non-resident in India is taxable under the Act.

Charge of tax

Section 45 of the Act provides that any profits or gains arising from the transfer of a capital asset effected in the previous year shall be chargeable to tax under the head “Capital gains” and shall be deemed to be income of the previous year in which the transfer took place.

Source of income

A cumulative reading of the above provisions results in capital gains arising in the hands of a non-resident in India if the transfer of the capital assets happens in India.

Deeming Provision

Section 9 of the Act further extends this scope by deeming certain incomes to arise in India. Capital gains that would be deemed to arise in India under Section 9 would be all income arising, whether directly or indirectly, through the transfer of a capital asset situated in India. It envisages taxability in a case where income may arise outside India due to transfer happening outside India but is still deemed to arise in India if the capital asset transferred is situated in India.

There can be three taxable events in case of GDRs. The taxability which can arise at each event is mentioned below:

On trading in GDRs

If the transfer happens outside India, there is no tax, provided that the transaction is between two non-residents. The scheme and Section 47(viia) clearly state this. Long-term gain & short-term gain – both are exempt from tax – on transfer of GDRs.

On conversion of GDR into underlying share

If the GDR is converted into shares by the investor, then it may amount to a gain on exchange. But the scheme is silent. It in fact proceeds on the assumption that only when the converted shares are sold, there is a tax.

On sale of underlying shares

The following provisions pertain to taxation of capital gains as per the provisions of the Act:

Effective fiscal year 2016-2017, shares (including shares issuable on the conversion of the ADSs) held by the non-resident investor for a period of more than 24 months are treated as long term capital assets. If the shares are held for a period of less than 24 months from the date of conversion, the same is treated as short term capital asset.

Taxable gain realized by a non-resident in respect of equity shares held for more than 24 months, or long-term gain, is subject to tax.

Finance (No. 2) Act, 2024, w.e.f. 23-7-2024 amended the Act to provide that Long Term Capital Gain exceeding ₹125,000 arising from sale of equity shares in a Company or a unit of an equity-oriented fund or a unit of a business trust will be taxable:

the amount of income-tax calculated on such long-term capital gains exceeding one lakh twenty-five thousand rupees –

at the rate of ten per cent for any transfer which takes place before the 23rd day of July 2024; and

at the rate of twelve and one-half per cent for any transfer which takes place on or after the 23rd day of July 2024 (excluding applicable surcharge and cess)

Taxable gain realized in respect of equity shares held for 24 months or less, or short-term gain, is subject to tax at variable rates with a maximum rate of 40.00% (excluding applicable surcharge and cess).

Any capital gain arising from the sale of Shares will be subject to relief, if any, available to the non-resident under an applicable DTAA subject to compliance with the relevant conditions.

Any capital gain tax paid by a non-resident on the transaction of sale of Shares may be eligible for tax credit in the home jurisdiction subject to the provisions of the domestic tax laws of the home jurisdiction read with the applicable tax treaty. The capital gains tax is computed by applying the appropriate tax rates to the difference between the sale price and the purchase price of the equity shares.

Withholding Tax on Capital Gains

Any taxable gain realized by a non-resident on the sale of ADSs or equity shares is to be subject to withholding of tax at source by the buyer. According to Sections 196C and 196D of the Act, where any income by way of interest or dividends in respect of bonds or global depository receipts referred to in section 115AC of the Act or by way of long-term capital gains arising from the transfer of such bonds or global depository receipts is payable to a non-resident respectively, the person responsible for making the payment shall, at the time of credit of such income to the account of the payee or at the time of payment thereof in cash or by the issue of a cheque or draft or by any other mode, whichever is earlier, deduct income tax thereon at the rate of ten per cent subject to any concession rate of tax provided as per DTAA of respective countries read along with applicable MLI. The concessional tax rate benefit as per DTAA would be available subject to providing various Tax forms including Tax Residency Certificate by non-resident shareholders. However, as per the provisions of Section 196D(2) of the Act, no withholding of tax is required from any income by way of capital gains arising to Foreign Institutional Investors as defined in Section 115AD of the Act on the transfer of securities defined in said section.

Buy-back of Securities

With effect from June 1, 2013, as per the provisions of section 115QA of the Act, a buy-back of shares by a domestic company (not being shares listed in a recognized stock exchange in India) was made subject to payment of share buy-back tax in the hands of such domestic company at the rate of 20% (as increased by surcharge at the rate of 12% and cess) on the amount of ‘distributed income’. The provisions of such share buy-back tax were extended to domestic companies whose shares are listed on a recognized stock exchange in India with effect from July 5, 2019. In such a case (i.e., where share buy-back tax is payable by the domestic company), the income arising to the shareholders, whether resident shareholders or non-resident shareholders, is exempt from tax in their hands under section 10(34A) of the Act, and thus, the same will not be subject to any tax withholding by such domestic company.

Further, the Taxation Law (Amendment) Act 2019 provided that the Tax on buy-back of shares would not apply to such buy-back of shares (being the shares listed on a recognized stock exchange), in respect of which public announcement has been made on or before the 5^th day of July, 2019 in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Buy-back of Securities) Regulations, 2018 made under the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (15 of 1992).

For the purposes of share buy-back tax under section 115QA of the Act, the expression ‘distributed income’ means the consideration paid by the company on buy-back of shares as reduced by the amount, which was received by the company for issue of such shares, determined in the manner as may be prescribed. Rule 40BB of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 has been prescribed in this regard and deals with various scenarios like shares issued under the employees’ stock option or as part of sweat equity shares, shares issued by the transferee company in case of amalgamation or demerger etc.

Further, the expression ‘buy-back’, for the purposes of share buy-back tax under section 115QA of the Act, has been defined to mean purchase by a company of its own shares in accordance with the provisions of any law for the time being in force relating to companies.

Applicability of GAAR:

The provisions of General Anti Avoidance Rule (GAAR) are contained in Chapter X-A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The GAAR provisions shall be effective from assessment year 2018-19 onwards, i.e., financial year 2017-18 onwards. The necessary procedures for application of GAAR and conditions under which it shall not apply, have been enumerated in Rules 10U to 10UC of the Income-tax Rules, 1962.

GAAR provisions apply with respect to the shares issued post 31st March 2017, on conversion of Compulsory convertible Preference shares (CCPS), Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs), Global Depository Receipts (GDRs), acquired prior to 1st April 2017 based on the circular No.7 of 2017 issued by the CBDT.

The GAAR provisions to deal with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project, of which India is an active participant, were applicable from fiscal year 2018. Pursuant to GAAR, an arrangement in which the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, is to obtain a tax benefit and may be declared as an “impermissible avoidance arrangement” if it also satisfies at least one of the following four tests. If any of our transactions are found to be impermissible avoidance arrangements under GAAR, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

a) The arrangement creates rights and obligations, which are not normally created between parties dealing at arm’s length.

b) It results in misuse or abuse of provisions of tax laws.

c) It lacks commercial substance or is deemed to lack commercial substance.

d) It is carried out in a manner, which is normally not employed for a bona fide purpose.

Grandfathering under Rule 10U(1)(d) will be available to investments made before 1st April 2017 in respect of instruments compulsory convertible from one form to another, at terms finalized at the time of issue of such instruments.

Significant Economic Presence : As part of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) measure, to address the tax challenges caused by the digital companies, India has introduced the Significant Economic Presence (SEP) provisions through the Finance Act 2018. An Explanation 2A to Section 9(1)(i) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (Act) was introduced, and the SEP is in addition to business connection. The provisions will apply to the Financial Year beginning on or after 01 April 2021. This amendment has increased the scope of taxation for non-resident in India. As per the amendment, if the non-resident carries out any transaction regarding goods, services, or property with a resident in India and exceeds the limit of INR 2 Crores, then a SEP is triggered.

Post introduction of SEP, the business connection under Section 9(1)(i) of the Income Tax Act are subject to three mutually exclusive categories:

Traditional business connection – based on the activity of the non-resident in India

Dependent Agent business connection – based on the activity of agent as per Explanation 2

SEP – based on Value and User threshold

Goods and Service Tax: Brokerage or commission paid to stockbrokers in connection with the sale or purchase of shares is subject to levy of the Goods and Services Tax at an effective rate of 18%.

Stamp Duty and Transfer Tax: Upon issuance of the equity shares underlying our ADSs, companies will be required to pay a stamp duty of 0.1% per share of the issue price of the underlying equity shares. A transfer of ADSs is not subject to Indian stamp duty. However, upon the acquisition of equity shares from the depositary in exchange for ADSs, the non-resident holder will be liable for Indian stamp duty at the rate of 0.25% of the market value of the ADSs or equity shares exchanged. A sale of equity shares by a nonresident holder will also be subject to Indian stamp duty at the rate of 0.25% of the market value of the equity shares on the trade date, although customarily such tax is borne by the transferee. Shares must be traded in dematerialized form. The transfer of shares in dematerialized form is currently not subject to stamp duty.

Gift Tax: The Finance Act, 2017, inserted provisions related to tax on the receipts of any sum of money, by any person either without consideration or for an inadequate consideration for value exceeding ₹ 50,000 (Stamp duty value in case of immovable property) during the year. The same is exempt from tax if it is received from any relative, occasion of marriage, under a will or by way of inheritance, or in contemplation of death of the payer or donor.

Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”): The Company operates in various countries and any change in tax rates or tax laws of any country could have impact on taxes. There may be changes in tax rates in some countries as a result of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Pillar Two Blueprint of the Inclusive Framework on BEPS which has an objective of having a global minimum tax rate. There could be other changes in international tax laws and practices as a result of other pillars of BEPS (including tax on digital services) which may potentially impact our tax cost.

Prospective purchasers should consult their own tax advisors with respect to Indian and their local tax consequences of acquiring, owning, or disposing of equity shares or ADSs.

Material U. S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant with respect to the ownership and disposition of equity shares or ADSs and is for general information only. This summary addresses the U.S. federal income tax considerations of U.S. holders. For purposes of this discussion, “U.S. holders” are beneficial owners of equity shares or ADSs who or that are (a) individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (b) corporations (or other entities treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (c) estates, the income of which is includable in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, regardless of its source and (d) trusts having a valid election to be treated as “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) in effect under U.S. Department of the Treasury regulations (“U.S. Treasury Regulations”) or the administration of which a U.S. court exercises primary supervision and with respect to which a United States person has the authority to control all substantial decisions.

This summary is limited to U.S. holders who hold or will hold equity shares or ADSs as capital assets (generally property held for investment). In addition, this summary is limited to U.S. holders who are not residents in India for purposes of the Convention between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of India for the avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (the “Convention”).

This summary does not address any tax considerations arising under the laws of any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. jurisdiction, or tax considerations under any U.S. estate or gift tax or other non-income tax laws. In addition, this summary does not address tax considerations applicable to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, financial institutions, dealers in securities or currencies, tax-exempt entities, persons subject to alternative minimum tax, persons subject to special accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, persons that will hold equity shares or ADSs as a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging” or “conversion” transaction for tax purposes, persons holding ADSs or equity shares through partnerships or other pass-through entities and investors therein, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar or holders owning directly, indirectly or through the application of certain constructive ownership rules, 10% or more, by voting power or value, of the shares of our Company. This summary is based on the Code, the U.S. Treasury Regulations in effect or, in some cases, proposed, as of the date of this document, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations thereof available on or before such date and is based in part on the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below.

Changes in U.S. federal income tax laws or regulations, or the interpretation thereof, could materially impact the U.S. federal income taxation of the ownership and disposition of our equity shares or ADSs for U.S. holders. While this discussion reflects our current understanding of applicable U.S. federal income tax laws, it is possible that future legislation could be enacted that would significantly alter the tax consequences described herein. We cannot predict whether, when, or in what form such changes may occur.

If a partnership (or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the equity shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding equity shares or ADSs should consult its own tax advisor.

EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT HIS, HER OR ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE U.S. FEDERAL, U.S. STATE, U.S. LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUIRING, OWNING OR DISPOSING OF EQUITY SHARES OR ADSs

Ownership of ADSs. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders of ADSs generally will be treated as the owners of equity shares represented by such ADSs. Accordingly, the conversion of ADSs into equity shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Dividends. Subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules described below, the gross amount of any distributions of cash or property (other than, generally, distributions of our equity shares) with respect to equity shares or ADSs will generally be included in income by a U.S. holder as foreign source dividend income at the time of receipt, which in the case of a U.S. holder of ADSs generally should be the date of receipt by the depositary, to the extent such distributions are made from the current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles) of our Company. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction (“DRD”) generally allowed to corporate U.S. holders, other than certain corporate U.S. holders who own 10% or more of the equity in our Company (including ADSs). Such U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any DRD to which they are entitled. To the extent, if any, that the amount of any distribution by our Company exceeds our Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, such excess will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the equity shares or ADSs and thereafter as capital gain. However, because we do not intend to determine our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, any distribution will generally be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the PFIC rules described below, dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, may be eligible for a reduced rate of taxation if we are deemed to be a “qualified foreign corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and certain holding period requirements are met (including the requirement that the non-corporate U.S. holder holds the equity shares or ADSs for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date).

A qualified foreign corporation generally includes a non-U.S. corporation (1) with respect to any dividend it pays on its shares (or ADSs in respect of such shares) that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or (2) it is eligible for the benefits under a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States meeting certain requirements. In addition, a corporation is not a qualified foreign corporation if it is a PFIC (as discussed below) for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year. Our ADSs are traded on the NASDAQ, an established securities market in the United States as identified by Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidance. We may also be eligible for benefits as a result of the Convention. Each U.S. holder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the treatment of such dividends and such holder’s eligibility for a reduced rate of taxation.

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, Indian dividend withholding tax, if any, imposed upon distributions paid to a U.S. holder with respect to such holder’s equity shares or ADSs generally should be eligible for credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. Alternatively, a U.S. holder may claim a deduction for such amount, but only for a year in which a U.S. holder does not claim a credit with respect to any non-U.S. income taxes. The overall limitation on non-U.S. income taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, distributions on equity shares or ADSs generally will be income from sources outside the United States and will generally be “passive category income” for purposes of computing the U.S. “foreign tax credit” allowable to a U.S. holder. No foreign tax credit or deduction is allowed for taxes paid or accrued with respect to a dividend that qualifies for the DRD. The rules governing U.S. foreign tax credits are complex, and recent changes to such rules introduced additional requirements and limitations. Furthermore, the application of such rules depends on the particular circumstances of each U.S. holder. Therefore, each U.S. holder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor with respect to the availability of U.S. foreign tax credits to such U.S. holder’s particular circumstances.

If dividends are paid in Indian rupees, the amount of the dividend distribution included in the income of a U.S. holder will be in the U.S. dollar value of the payments made in Indian rupees, determined at a spot exchange rate between Indian rupees and U.S. dollars applicable to the date such dividend is included in the income of the U.S. holder, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Generally, gain or loss, if any, resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend is paid to the date such payment is converted into U.S. dollars will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss.

EACH U.S. HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE TREATMENT OF DIVIDENDS AND SUCH HOLDER’S ELIGIBILITY FOR REDUCED RATE OF TAXATION UNDER THE LAW IN EFFECT FOR THE YEAR OF THE DIVIDEND.

Sale or Exchange of Equity Shares or ADSs. A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale or exchange of equity shares or ADSs equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale or exchange and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the equity shares or ADSs, as the case may be. Subject to the discussion of the PFIC rules below, such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the equity shares or ADSs, as the case may be, were held for more than one year. Gain or loss, if any, recognized by a U.S. holder generally will be treated as U.S. source passive category income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. If capital gains realized by a U.S. holder upon the sale of equity shares or ADSs are subject to tax (including withholding tax) in India (see the “and “Withholding Tax on Capital Gains” discussion with respect to Indian taxes above), a U.S. holder may not be able to utilize any such taxes as a credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability due to certain limitations on U.S. foreign tax credits.

Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting. Any dividends paid, or proceeds on a sale of, equity shares or ADSs to or by a U.S. holder may be subject to U.S. federal information reporting, and U.S. federal backup withholding, currently at a rate of 24%, may apply unless the holder is an exempt recipient or provides such holder’s correct U.S. taxpayer identification number, certifies that such holder is not subject to backup withholding and otherwise complies with any applicable backup withholding requirements. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Additional Tax on Net Investment Income. U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds are subject to a 3.8% tax on certain net investment income, including, among other things, dividends on, and capital gains from the sale or other taxable disposition of, equity shares or ADSs, subject to certain limitations and exceptions.

Passive Foreign Investment Company. A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either:

•

75% or more of its gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or

•

50% or more of its assets (determined based on a quarterly average) by value, or, if it is not a publicly traded corporation and so elects or is a controlled foreign corporation, by adjusted basis, and including its pro rata share of the assets of any company in which it is considered to own 25% or more by value, produce or are held for the production of passive income.

We do not believe that we satisfy either of the tests for PFIC status for the taxable year ended March 31, 2025. However, because this determination is made on an annual basis and depends on a variety of factors (including, potentially, the value of our equity shares or ADSs), no assurance can be given that we were not considered a PFIC in a prior taxable year, or that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current taxable year and/or future taxable years. If we were to be a PFIC for any taxable year, U.S. holders would be required to either:

•

pay an interest charge together with tax calculated at ordinary income rates on “excess distributions,” as the term is defined in relevant provisions of the Code, including on any gain on a sale or other disposition of ADSs or equity shares;

•

if an election is made for us to be a “qualified electing fund” (as the term is defined in relevant provisions of the Code) in the first taxable year in which our Company is a PFIC during the period that the U.S. holders owns equity shares or ADSs, include in such U.S. holder’s taxable income their pro rata shares of undistributed amounts of our income and gain; or

•

if the equity shares are “marketable” and a “mark-to-market” (as such terms are defined in the Code) election is made, mark-to-market the equity shares each taxable year and recognize ordinary gain and, to the extent of prior ordinary gain, ordinary loss for the increase or decrease in market value for such taxable year.

If we are treated as a PFIC in any year, we do not plan to provide information necessary for U.S. holders to make the qualified electing fund election. As such, it is not expected that a U.S. holder will be able to make a qualified electing fund election with respect to our equity shares or ADSs.

If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder holds the ADSs or equity shares, we will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. holder holds the ADSs or equity shares, unless we were to cease to be a PFIC and the U.S. holder makes a “deemed sale” election with respect to the ADSs or equity shares.

In addition, certain U.S. federal information reporting obligations applicable to ownership of PFICs generally will apply to U.S. holders if we are determined to be a PFIC, such as annually filing an IRS Form 8621. Penalties may be imposed where applicable for failure to file IRS Form 8621.

Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets. Owners of “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year, or $75,000 at any time during the taxable year may be required to file information reports with respect to such assets with their U.S. federal income tax returns. Depending on your circumstances, higher threshold amounts may apply. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts maintained by non-U.S. financial institutions, as well as any of the following, but only if they are held for investment and not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in non-U.S. entities. Our equity shares and ADSs may be treated as specified foreign financial assets and you may be subject to this information reporting regime. Failure to file information reports may subject you to penalties. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding your obligation to file information reports with respect to the equity shares or ADSs.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. The U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) imposes, under certain circumstances, a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax on certain payments to certain non-U.S. entities that fail to comply with certain information reporting, account identification, withholding, certification and other FATCA-related requirements in respect of their direct and indirect U.S. shareholders and/or U.S. accountholders. To avoid becoming subject to FATCA withholding, we may be required to report information to the Government of India or the IRS regarding our U.S. holders. Each U.S. holder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the application of FATCA to an investment in our equity shares or ADSs.

The above summary is not intended to be a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to ownership of equity shares or ADSs. You should consult with your own tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular circumstances, as well as any additional tax consequences resulting from an investment in the ADSs or equity shares, including the applicability and effect of the tax laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction, and any estate, gift and inheritance laws.

GSTN Advisory Oct 8, 2025

No Change in Auto-Population of ITC

GSTR-2B will continue to be generated automatically on the 14th of every month, without any manual intervention by taxpayers or based on the actions taken by the taxpayers.

Taxpayers can take actions in IMS even after generation of GSTR-2B till filing of GSTR-3B and can regenerate GSTR-2B accordingly, if required.

Recipient taxpayers will have the option to keep a Credit Note or related document pending for a specified period.

On acceptance of Credit Note or related document, the recipient will also have the flexibility to reduce ITC only to the extent of its availment by adjusting the reversal amount manually.

GSTN Advisory Sep 23, 2025

New changes have been introduced in the Invoice Management System (IMS) to simplify the taxation system and reduce the compliance burden on the taxpayers. The following are the key updates

I-

Pending action for specified records: Taxpayers can keep specified records pending for a limited time period. For monthly taxpayers, this period is one tax period (months), for quarterly taxpayers also it is one tax period (quarter) only. The specified records which can be kept pending in the system are mentioned below

a. Credit notes, or upward amendment of Credit note

b. Downward amendment of CN where original CN rejected

c. Downward amendment of Invoice / DN only where original Invoice already accepted and 3B has been filed

d. ECO-Document downward amendment only where original accepted, and 3B has been filed

II- Declaring ITC reduction amount - It is clarified that, in cases where the recipient has not availed Input Tax Credit (ITC) in respect of the relevant invoice or document, no reversal of ITC shall be warranted. Further, in cases where ITC has been availed only partially, the obligation to reverse ITC shall be limited to the extent of such availment.

B. Other Significant Economic events for H1 FY 2025-26:

a) GDP Growth: India’s GDP at 7.80% in Q1 FY 2025-26 and 7.00% in Q2, marginally driven by services and construction sectors. While the estimated GDP for FY 2025-26 is at 6.80%.

b) Inflation & RBI's Monetary Policy: Inflation rose due to food, oil prices and global sentiments prompting Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) to steadily reduce the repo rate at 5.50% pa.

c) US Federal Reserve Tightening: Up to September 2025, the U.S.Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) reduced its base lending rate rage at 4.00% - 4.25% owing to global pricing and anticipating inflationary controls.

d) Rising Oil Prices: Global oil prices hovered around $85 per barrel in September 2025, exerting moderate pressure on India’s trade deficit and inflation, though the impact was partly offset by resilient service exports.

e) Government Infrastructure Push: As of 30th September 2025, robust public spending on infrastructure projects under the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) and PM Gati Shakti continued to bolster investment activity and support sustained economic growth.

f) Rupee Depreciation: The rupee weakened to ₹85-88/USD due to rising imports, global conditions, and RBI interventions. During the Half Year 2025-26 the rupee depreciated by 3.75 per cent against the USD (Concluding at ₹ 88.79 / USD) as on September 30, 2025

g) Banking Sector: As of September 2025, the banking sector maintained healthy credit growth driven by retail and infrastructure lending, while gross NPAs remained at multi-year lows.

Item 4. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, to fair values or to future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments, foreign currency receivables, payables and debt. Our exposure to market risk is a function of our investment and borrowing activities and our revenue generating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure of our earnings and equity to loss.

Please see Note 34 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 20 F for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Risk Management Procedures

We manage market risk through a corporate treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. Our corporate treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies which are approved by senior management and our Audit Committee. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, implementing hedging strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies, and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies on a daily basis.

As at September 30, 2025, our management, with the participation of our CEO and Managing Director and Executive Director and CFO, has carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and Managing Director and Executive Director and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding our required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Based on their evaluation, our CEO and Managing Director and Executive Director and CFO have concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in filings and submissions under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, and that material information related to us and our consolidated subsidiaries is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and Managing Director and Executive Director and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions about required disclosure
