Response to BSE Discrepancy Notice

Date: September 10, 2026

Recipient: BSE Limited Listing Compliance Monitoring Team

The company clarifies that the delayed submission of the corporate announcement was due to contractual obligations under a non-disclosure agreement with the counterparty. MRC Agrotech was required to obtain formal prior clearances and permissions regarding the text of the communication before public release. The coordination for these clearances, along with completion of technical protocols and internal verifications, extended the time required to finalize the disclosure.

The company has taken note of the communication and has aligned technical, legal, and reporting schedules to ensure future regulatory submissions are completed at the earliest possible instance. A fresh corporate announcement is being submitted through the BSE Listing Centre portal with reference to the earlier announcement.
