Pursuant to Regulation 32(1) of Securities and Exchange Board of India

deviation/variation in the spending of the Rights Issue proceeds, beyond the objects of
the issue mentioned in the Prospectus dated 5th October 2023 (with reference to the
modification mentioned in the letter dated 30th May 2024) filed with the Registrar of
Companies, Rajasthan at Jaipur for the purpose of raising money through the Rights Issue,
to an extent of 13.70 Crore
The object of the Rights Issue from the cost of 'Purchase/Building of
Warehouses' to finance the expenditure for the construction of Warehouses, to reallocating
this amount towards a new object "Working Capital of the Company.
As per the disclosure submitted under Regulation 32 of SEBI (LODR),
2015 concerning the utilization of the Rights Issue proceeds, an amount of 13.70 crore was
initially allocated for the construction of a warehouse. However, due to unforeseen
challenges in project execution, the contract for warehouse construction has been
withdrawn. The reasons for the withdrawal include:
The chosen land location for the warehouse was found to be unsuitable
due to logistical and accessibility constraints. Efficient transportation and connectivity
are crucial for warehouse facilities, and the selected site failed to meet these
requirements, making long-term operations impractical.
Additionally, regulatory and environmental approvals proved to be a
major obstacle, with extensive documentation and compliance with zoning laws leading to
delays. Infrastructure deficiencies in outer Jaipur, such as underdeveloped roads,

20.00 Lakh was deducted by the contractor for cancellation charges. As a result, the
company is reallocating the 13.50 crore towards the new object of working capital to
optimize fund utilization and ensure maximum shareholder value
