Dear Sir/Madam,
Pursuant to the provisions of Regulation 30 read with Para A of Part A of Schedule III and other
applicable provisions of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure

Exchanges that ICRA ESG Ratings Limited (“ICRA ESG”) has upgraded [ICRA ESG] Impact Rating
to ’80 (Outstanding)’ from ’76 (Good)’. The Rating Letter along with the rationale letter issued by ICRA
ESG are enclosed herewith.
As part of its review, ICRA ESG undertook a comprehensive evaluation of the Company's
Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) framework based on, inter alia, disclosures made in the
Company's Annual Report, publicly available information, various policies and codes, internal
processes, management practices and ESG approach, environmental stewardship, social responsibility
initiatives, corporate governance practices including internal controls and risk management systems.
Based on the assessment, ICRA ESG has assigned the following scores to the Company:
• Environmental Pillar: Score of 78 – “Good”, reflecting the Company's low environmental
footprint, improved climate disclosures, value-chain sustainability assessment/initiative, and
ESG Vision 2030 commitments.
• Social Pillar: Score of 83 – “Outstanding”, recognising the Company's strong employee welfare
practices, customer protection framework, learning and development initiatives, and expanded
community impact.
• Governance Pillar: Score of 80 – “Outstanding”, supported by enhanced Board diversity and
independence, robust governance practices, transparent disclosures, and strengthened Board-level
ESG oversight.
The Company believes that this independent ESG rating reaffirms its commitment to strong
governance, responsible business conduct and sustainable value creation, and provides additional
comfort to investors regarding the robustness of its ESG practices.

Material Event
Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited (MOFSL) released its FY2026 Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report
(BRSR) in June 2026. The report also marked the transition from standalone to consolidated ESG reporting along with the
introduction of the Group-level ESG Vision 2030. Accordingly, the BRSR covered performance of the flagship entity Motilal
Oswal Financial Services Limited along with three material subsidiaries Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company Limited
(MOAMC), Motilal Oswal Finvest Limited (MOFL), and Motilal Oswal Home Finance Limited (MOHFL).

Impact of Material Event
ICRA ESG reviewed the updated FY2026 disclosures and received inputs from the management. Consequently, the ESG
Impact rating was upgraded to 80 (Outstanding) from 76 (Good). The environmental profile benefited from the
commencement of value-chain ESG assessments, adoption of ESG Vision 2030 with specific targets and broader climate-
related disclosures. The governance profile was supported by the efforts made by the company to improve board level
independence, diversity, and strengthening of board-level sustainability oversight through introduction of formal ESG
commitments. The social profile remained broadly stable, supported by improved gender pay parity, higher CSR outreach,
and employee development initiatives, although elevated attrition levels, and rising income inequality remain monitorable.
78 (Good)
Environment
revised from 72 (Good)
The environmental score was revised upwards from 72 (Good) to 78 (Good) after factoring in the progress in MOFSL’s ESG
journey with improvements in environmental indicators including GHG emissions, air emissions and value chain
sustainability profile. During FY2026, the company transitioned from standalone to consolidated ESG reporting, resulting in
an increase in reported energy consumption, emissions, water consumption and waste generation. However, the impact of
the expanded reporting boundary was largely offset by higher revenues, resulting in resource and emissions intensity
metrics remaining broadly stable or improving across key parameters. Energy intensity improved to 4,472 MJ per Rs. crore
of revenue in FY2026 from 5902 MJ per Rs. crore in FY2025, while water intensity improved marginally to 10.6 KL per Rs.
crore of revenue from 10.8 KL per Rs. crore alongside GHG emission intensity improving to 0.90 tCO e per Rs. crore of
revenue in FY2026 from 1.19 tCO e per Rs. crore of revenue. The company continues to implement various resource-
efficiency initiatives including LED lighting, occupancy sensors, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air-conditioning systems,
thermal glazing solutions, server virtualisation and paperless workflows
The company’s overall low resource intensive profile is factored favorably in its environmental score. In FY2026, MOFSL
reported renewable energy consumption, through its Malad office operation. This currently represents only ~0.3% of the
overall energy mix, however, it marks the company's progress towards its stated decarbonisation ambitions. Substantial
growth in renewable energy adoption would be crucial for its energy management score. Further, the company has
articulated a formal environmental strategy under its ESG Vision 2030, including a target to reduce carbon intensity by 20%
and expand renewable energy adoption at key locations. Meaningful progress against these targets remains crucial.
Climate-related disclosures strengthened materially during FY2026. Following the transition to consolidated reporting and
expansion of reporting boundaries, MOFSL’s Scope 1 emissions increased to 203.46 tCO₂e from 6.76 tCO₂e, while Scope 2
emissions increased to 8,205.83 tCO₂e from 6,369.77 tCO₂e, primarily reflecting broader coverage of group operations. The
company also significantly expanded its Scope 3 reporting boundary, with Scope 3 emissions increasing to 29,480 tCO₂e
from 11,116 tCO₂e in FY2025 due to inclusion of additional categories such as purchased goods and services, capital goods,
leased assets and employee commuting. While ICRA ESG does not directly evaluate the absolute magnitude of Scope 3
emissions, the enhanced disclosure framework and formalisation of a carbon-intensity reduction target indicate increasing
climate governance maturity.
