HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 DATED JANUARY 30, 2026 1. Formation: The joint venture will be formed as a private limited company (JVCo.) incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, with its registered office at Kochi, Ernakulam, Keralam. The JVCo. is not proposed to be listed on any stock exchange. 2. Purpose of JVCo.: For owning, operating and managing the International Ship Repair Facility (ISRF) of CSL at Willingdon Island, Kochi for undertaking dry-docking, maintenance, repair and overhaul of commercial and naval vessels below 130 meters of length and 6,000-tonne weight. Further, the joint venture also envisages capacity augmentation of the ISRF through the addition of ten workstations. 3. About ISRF: ISRF has been developed over an area of around 30 hectares, comprising both land and water areas, at Willingdon Island, Kochi, leased from the Cochin Port Authority for a period of 60 years. The facility can handle vessels of up to 130 metres in length and was constructed at a cost of Rs. 970 Crores. It has a 6,000-tonne capacity ship lift and transfer system, six workstations and around 1,400 metres of berthing space. The facility can undertake repair of up to six vessels simultaneously and has an annual throughput capacity of up to 82 ships. The facility was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, on January 17, 2024 and the commercial operations commenced on August 12, 2024. The ISRF reported revenue of Rs. 207.33 Crores during the financial year 2025-26, which is about 4.81% of the total revenue from operations of CSL. The value of the ISRF arrived at based on third party independent valuations is Rs. 1,800 Crores, which is about 30.55% of CSL’s net worth of Rs. 5,892.83 Crores as on March 31, 2026. 4. Shareholding and Board of JVCo.: Both CSL and DDW will be equal partners in the JVCo. holding 50% each in the share capital of the JVCo. The JVCo. shall be managed by a Board of Directors consisting of five directors, with DDW entitled to nominate three Directors and the Senior Management Personnel like CEO, CFO and COO, as applicable, and CSL entitled to nominate two Directors. 5. Significant terms of the joint venture agreement: All rights as are customary in similar transactions including transfer, restrictions, information rights etc. 6. Consideration: As part of the proposal, the ISRF shall be transferred to the JVCo. on a slump sale basis as a going concern for a consideration of not less than Rs. 1,800 Crores. CSL shall receive 50% of the consideration in cash and the remaining 50% in the form of shares of the JVCo. 7. Rationale and benefits of the proposal: The joint venture is proposed to leverage the complementary strengths, expertise and capabilities of CSL and DDW in the ship repair sector. It is expected to create synergies between the two entities and facilitate the adoption of global best practices, advanced technologies and efficient processes in the domestic ship repair ecosystem, thereby improving the quality, efficiency and turnaround time of ship repair services. It is also expected to augment ship repair capacity in the country, strengthen the domestic ship repair infrastructure and enhance India’s capability to undertake complex and high-value ship repair projects. The initiative is also aligned with the objectives of Maritime India Vision 2030 (MIV 2030) and Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047 (MAKV 2047) and supports the Government of India’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat by promoting self-reliance in the maritime sector. 8. Approvals required: The materialisation of the proposal would require the approval of the Cochin Port Authority, the Government of India (Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (Administrative Ministry) and Department of Investment and Public Asset Management, Ministry of Finance) and the Shareholders of the Company. CSL is in the process of approaching the relevant authorities to obtain the necessary approvals for the proposal. 9. Whether a Related Party Transaction: CSL and DDW are not related parties and hence, the transaction does not fall within the ambit of related party transactions. Further, the promoter/ promoter group/ group companies of CSL do not have any interest in DDW. However, since the transfer of ISRF will be to the JVCo., wherein CSL will hold a 50% shareholding, the business transfer transaction will qualify as a related party transaction and is being undertaken at arm’s length basis. CSL shall procure the shareholders’ approval as per the applicable requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI LODR Regulations. 10. Definitive agreements: CSL and DDW have finalised the agreements viz., Joint Venture Agreement, Shareholders Agreement, Business Transfer Agreement and the License Agreement. The Joint Venture Agreement is proposed to be signed on September 11, 2026 and the other agreements will be signed upon incorporation of the JVCo. and receipt of all requisite approvals. The proposal is expected to be implemented prior to the end of the current financial year. Further updates with respect to the proposal will be intimated in due course. 11.
