8. The Authorised, Issued, Subscribed and Paid-Up Share Capital of the Applicant
Company as on 31.03.2026 is as under:
Particulars Amount (in Rs.)
Authorised Share Capital
5,80,00,000 Equity Shares of INR 10/- each 58,00,00,000/-
1,10,00,000 6.5% Non-cumulative Redeemable 1,10,00,00,000/-

Preference Shares of INR 100/- each
Total 1,42,21,95,320
9. The Ld. Counsel for the Applicant further submits that the rationale for Capital
Reduction is that:
a) The Company has, over the years, incurred losses in its paper business,
resulting in an erosion of its net worth. As per the limited reviewed financial
statements for the six months period ended on 30'h September, 2025, the
accumulated losses stand at Rs. 2,78,39,19,643/- (Rupees Two Hundred
Seventy-Eight Crores Thirty-Nine Lakhs Nineteen Thousand Six Hundred
and Forty-Three Only). Consequently, the existing share capital no longer
reflects the true financial position and performance of the Company. At
present, the Company does not have any major business operations. The
management is, however, evaluating and considering new business
opportunities, including the commencement of real estate-related activities.
In order to support this proposed transition and to ensure that the financial
statements present a true and fair view of the Company's financial position.

b) The Company's existing equity share capital no longer reflects the economic
realities given its current financial conditions. In addition, the Company has
outstanding redeemable preference shares amounting to Rs.
110,00,00,000/- (Rupees One Hundred and Ten Crores only) carrying a
dividend rate of 6.5% and given the Company's current financial condition,
reduced business operations and significant accumulated losses, the
Company will not have adequate profits, reserves or liquidity to redeem its
preference shares in the foreseeable future;
c) In light of the foregoing and with a view to rationalising and reorganising the
capital structure of the Company, the Board of Directors have proposed to
undertake a reduction of share capital in accordance with Section 66 read
with Section 52 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013,
subject to requis
