The Board granted in-principle approval for the merger of TPL Plastech Limited (Transferor Company), a 74.86% subsidiary listed on BSE and NSE, with Time Technoplast Limited (Transferee Company). The appointed date for the merger is April 1, 2026, pursuant to Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Rationale: The merger aims to consolidate the group structure, rearrange manufacturing units and product lines to enable distinct product categories to be handled by dedicated units within TTL. This is expected to drive product development, innovation, and improve manufacturing and operational efficiency. Pooling financial, managerial, and technical resources is expected to enhance competitive strength, reduce costs, and generate operational and financial synergies.

Approval Conditions: The approval is subject to:

  • Appointment of a consultant to draft the Scheme of Amalgamation
  • Appointment of a registered valuer and merchant banker for valuation report and fairness opinion
  • Determination of fair share exchange ratio (Swap Ratio) based on independent valuation

Financial Snapshot (as of March 31, 2026):

  • Time Technoplast Limited: Turnover ₹263,841 lakhs, Net Worth ₹106,892 lakhs, Net Profit ₹11,478 lakhs

Regulatory Status: While the companies are related parties (TTL holds 74.86% of TPL), the transaction is exempt from Section 188 requirements per MCA General Circular No. 30/2014 dated July 17, 2014. The Swap Ratio and consequent shareholding pattern changes are yet to be determined. Further disclosures will be made upon finalization.

2. Decision Not to Proceed with Acquisition of Ebullient Packaging Private Limited

In continuation of the company's earlier intimation dated September 06, 2025, regarding a Memorandum of Understanding for acquiring a 74% stake in Ebullient Packaging Private Limited (EPPL), the Board decided not to proceed with the acquisition. The MoU period has expired.

The company had appointed an independent consultant for comprehensive due diligence covering financial, operational, legal, and commercial aspects, and monitored EPPL's performance quarterly. However, due to global geopolitical developments including the West Asia conflict and consequent changes in business environment, demand, and growth prospects, the Board decided to discontinue the proposal after evaluating business viability and strategic considerations. No financial loss will result from this discontinuation.

3. Approved Investment in Time Intercontinental Limited

The Board approved an investment of up to ₹50 crores in one or more tranches to subscribe to equity shares of Time Intercontinental Limited (TICL) at face value. TICL was incorporated on February 20, 2025, to trade, import, export, process, and distribute various polymers including PE, PP, PVC, and other synthetic raw materials for industrial, commercial, agricultural, and domestic use.

Investment Structure: TTL will subscribe up to 65% of TICL's paid-up share capital, with the remaining 35% to be subscribed by Promoters/Promoter Group Companies at face value. Post-investment, TICL will become a subsidiary of TTL.

Company Details: TICL has authorized share capital of ₹5,00,00,000 and paid-up share capital of ₹51,25,000. The company is promoted by Promoters/Promoter Companies of TTL and is professionally managed by Mr. Sureshkumar P.T., who has over 33 years of experience in petrochemicals including tenure with Reliance Industries Limited.

Rationale: The investment is expected to enable bulk purchase discounts on polymer procurement for the group through volume-based pricing benefits. It will create business synergy, strengthen raw material sourcing capabilities, and enhance overall profitability.

Regulatory Status: This constitutes a related party transaction as TICL is promoted by TTL's Promoters/Promoter Companies. The transaction has been approved by the Audit Committee on an arm's length basis. No governmental approvals are required beyond Companies Act and SEBI LODR regulations. The investment is expected to be completed within 12 months through one or more tranches.
