Shri Basant Kumar Birla Chairman Strong Foundation Sustained Growth Proven Leadership 2009-10 ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS Message of the CHAIRMAN Dear Fellow Shareholders: W hereas the Global economy was slowly limping back to normalcy, 2009 – 10 was a landmark year for Kesoram. The turnover of your company has crossed the Rs 5000 crore mark for the first time. Your company’s core business segments – Cement and Tyre – have shown impressive growth. The cement units have posted the highest ever production figures. The Tyre section has shown commendable growth in domestic sales and exports – with an increase in market share. Another significant achievement has been the scheduled completion of expansion projects. At Vasavadatta Cement, the 4th Unit and a Thermal Power Plant started commercial production in August 2009 and your Company’s world-class Greenfield facility for Tyres at Haridwar, Uttarakhand, started commercial production of Truck/Bus Radial Tyres and Motor Cycle/ LCV Tyres during the year. Your company has also faced challenges very successfully. The surplus capacity in the Indian Cement Industry via-a-vis the growth rate in infrastructure has put pressure on profits. Steep increase in raw material prices in last two quarters of the year adversely affected the Tyre Industry. All the above indicates that your Company is now poised to reap the benefits of oncoming economic growth in the country. Steady Government thrusts on infrastructure, increased spending on social measures as well as on employment generation are all factors that will provide further impetus to the growth of the Indian economy. I extend my thanks to my colleagues and all employees and other stakeholders who have made what Kesoram is today and will be taking it to the next higher level tomorrow. I sincerely thank my fellow shareholders for their continuous support. Basant Kumar Birla 1 91 st & ANNUAL REPORT ACCOUNTS Registered Office 2009-10 8th Floor, Birla Building 9/1, R.

Regarding the paragraph 3.19 of the Report, the neccessary security or charge pending to be created in respect of Short-term Debentures will be created within the stipulated time provided by law if not redeemed before. Further, the immovable properties of Birla Tyres, a Section of the Company at Uttarakhand, could not be created due to continuing verification of search report of the said properties by the empanelled lawyer of the Lead Banker, State Bank of India. The Short-term Debentures issued during the year were redeemed before the security could have been created within the stipulated period provided by law. Further, paragraph 4(f) referred to by the Auditors’ in its Report is self-explanatory and requires no explanation. GENERAL REVIEW During the year under review our turnover for the first time crossed Rs.5,000 Crore. This has been primarily due to the increase in sales of Tyre Section from Birla Tyres Unit-II at Laksar, Haridwar. Birla Tyres Unit-III and Unit-IV related to Truck / Bus Radial and Motor Cycle / LCV tyres started Commercial Production in March, 2010 and October, 2009 respectively. Capacity at Vasavadatta Cement was also increased which started Commercial Production in August, 2009. The total benefit in top line and bottom line for all these expansions will get reflected in the coming year. The profitability of the Company during the year has also increased due to good results of Cement Sections and enhanced capacity of Tyre Sections besides good treasury management and cost control effected throughout the Company. Rayon Section also showed higher profitability due to strong domestic demand. Work at Spun Pipe Section continues to be under suspension. CEMENT SECTIONS Vasavadatta Cement Your Directors are pleased to report that the expansion undertaken at this section by setting up the 4th Unit comprising of Cement capacity of 1.65 million ton per annum and thermal power plant of 17.5 MW has been completed. After completion of trial run, commercial production of Cement has started from 7th August, 2009. Operational performance of this section continues to be good and it has achieved highest ever production of Clinker as well as Cement during the year. Production figures of this section given hereunder include 1,29,300 metric ton of clinker and 76,610 metric ton of cement produced during trial run of the 4th Unit: 15 Production 2009-10 2008-09 (Metric Ton) (Metric Ton) Clinker 42,98,390 34,41,496 Cement 42,03,373 39,24,589 Cement dispatches were adversely affected due to non-availability of adequate wagons and as a result clinker to the extent of 4,52,045 metric ton was sold during the year. The Section has achieved higher production despite several challenges such as substantial build-up of new capacity by other companies in the industry, lack of corresponding pickup in demand, shortage of rail wagons for movement of cement, coal and raw materials and unsatisfactory coal availability position in absence of adequate coal linkage arrangements. However, quality of its products, established brand image and proper logistic management have enabled the section to achieve good performance in a year characterized by continued slowdown in the construction sector and weak monsoon. Due to surplus capacity, cement prices were not able to keep pace with rising costs for major part of the year resulting in pressure on margins. Stimulus measures undertaken by the Government, particularly reduction in excise duty, encouragement to infrastructure development and improving liquidity in the economy have however, helped to maintain the growth momentum. Captive power generation was 445.07 million KWH during the year under review as against 338.12 million KWH during the previous year. Captive power generation catered to about 98% of the total power requirement of the section. 54.15 million KWH being 12.17% of the power generated from the power plants was sold to Gulbarga Electricity Supply Company Ltd. The unit is also exploring the possibilities of power generation from Waste Heat Recovery System which will give considerable advantage in cost of power generation. Further, the Company is also exploring possibilities of further expansion or a Green field unit in nearby area. As a part of corporate social responsibility, the unit has undertaken various social welfare and community development activities such as construction of water tank and children’s park, plantation of trees, water conservation, health camps, distribution of agricultural implements to the villagers, vocational training and skill development activities, etc. in its surrounding areas. In the year 2009-10, the Section received two prizes in the ‘Mines Safety Week’ under the aegis of DGMS - Drilling & Blasting First Prize and Method of Working 2nd Prize. Also in the various safety competitions conducted on the occasion of ‘Gulbarga Region Industrial Safety Day 2010’ (GRISD) celebration, our employees bagged various prizes. Apart from the above, seven Scout & Guide students of our School - Vasavadatta Vidya Vihar have won recently, the coveted Award of ‘Rashtrapati Puraskar’. Industrial relations with the employees were good during the year. Kesoram Cement Production figures of this Section are as under: Production 2009-10 2008-09 (Metric Ton) (Metric Ton) Clinker 11,61,200 10,97,175 Cement 13,78,833 15,11,615 This Section also has achieved highest ever production of Clinker. However, Cement production and dispatches were adversely affected due to Telangana agitation and paucity of Railway wagons for movement of cement. Consequently, the Section had to sell 55,024 metric ton of clinker. There was substantial capacity expansion also in Andhra Pradesh, which had put pressure on sales realizations and profitability of the Section. However, from the month of March 2010, cement prices are improving and are expected to improve further in coming months. The unit has built-up an excellent brand image of its blended cement “BIRLA SHAKTI” and was able to market about 81% of its total output in PPC cement segment. There has been substantial increase in cost of raw materials and coal. However, Management has taken various control measures to keep the cost of cement under control. 16 2009-10 ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS Captive Thermal Power Plant of this Section generated 113.29 million KWH of power, out of which 0.03 million KWH were supplied to APTRANSCO. In this Section, about 82% of the power requirement of the cement plant is met from the Captive generation and balance power was purchased from APTRANSCO. Captive Power Plant plays a vital role in improving the cost competitiveness and providing quality power to the Section. In view of this, the Section is considering the feasibility of power generation by Waste Heat Recovery System. The suit challenging the validity of imposition of Electricity Duty on captive power generation @ 25 paise per Unit from 17.07.2003 by the Government of Andhra Pradesh is still pending before the Hon’ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh. This Section bagged the FAPCCI (Federation of Andhra Pradesh Chambers of Commerce & Industry) Award of EXCELLENCE IN WORKERS’ WELFARE for the year 2008-09, which was presented by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Sri K. Rosaiah on 5th April 2010. Basantnagar Limestone Mines of this Section bagged two 1st prizes for “Environmental & Health Management” and “Maintenance and Operation of Heavy Earth Moving Equipments” and 2nd prize for “Drilling and Blasting” from the Director General of Mines Safety, Hyderabad during the Mines Safety Week celebrations. As a part of corporate social responsibility, the Section is continuing the rural and community development and welfare activities in nearby villages by running of Agricultural Demonstration Farm, Model Dairy Farm, Vocational Training Centre for Youth, Distribution of agricultural implements, Sewing Machines, Tri-cycles for physically challenged people, Animal Health Camps, Blood Donation Camps, Pulse Polio Programs and promotion of Self Help Groups of women for their economic development etc. Industrial relations were cordial during the year. BIRLA TYRES SECTIONS The gross turnover of the Section this year has been Rs.2,849.62 Crore as compared to Rs.1,947.23 crore showing an increase of about 46.34% compared to last year. In spite of stiff competition, we have been able to increase our market share from 15% to 18%. The export sales for the year under review amounted to Rs 361.48 crore as against Rs 240.41 crore in the previous year. Though the Section has recorded commendable sales growth but due to sharp increase in raw material prices particularly of rubber in quarter III and quarter IV, profitability has been adversely affected. The Company’s world class Green field facility for production of Motor Cycle/LCV and Truck/ Bus Radial tyres started commercial production in October, 2009 and March, 2010 respectively. The board has approved further expansion of capacity to produce Truck/Bus Radial tyres by 85 MT/day at Haridwar and for Passenger Car Radial tyres of 80 MT/day at Balasore involving capital outlay of Rs. 350 Crore and Rs. 450 Crore respectively. The civil construction for the above expansions is in full swing and order for the major machineries and equipments have already been placed. The commercial productions in both the projects are likely to commence by March, 2011. The Section continues to have the distinction of being certified for ISO-9001, TS-16949, ISO-14001, SA-8000, OSHAS-18001 and TPM. Relations with employees have been cordial and conducive to growth during the year. RAYON & TRANSPARENT PAPER SECTIONS Amidst challenging environment, performance of VFY (Viscose Filament Yarn) business is satisfactory. Strong domestic demand and higher penetration in export market led to substantial growth in volumes, coupled with reduction in the cost of all the major raw materials – pulp and sulphur, the Section’s operating margin improved in spite of the steep hike in coal & electricity costs. Margins in future, are likely to decline from current level due to upward trend in pulp and sulphur prices. Export demands are also likely to be impacted due to stiff competition from China and the imposition of Anti-dumping duty by the Government has not been of much help in arresting cheap imports in the country. The exports were 612 M.T. against 521 M.T. of previous year. The T.P (Transparent Paper) business continues with unfavourable market environment resulting into poor realization mainly due to competition with cheaper imports & substitutes. As a result of the above, again the production capacity of this Section could not be fully utilized. The exports were 293 M.T. against 306 M.T. of previous year. The recent hike in the rate of Excise Duty will further impact the demand and profitability of this product. The performance of Section’s chemical business was satisfactory despite the prevailing global economic conditions and cheap imports. Relations with the employees were cordial during the year. 17 SPUN PIPES SECTION The factory of this Section continues to be under suspension of work on and from 2nd May, 2008. The blockade and barricade in front of the factory gate is continuing, as a result finished goods and other material lying inside the factory could not be removed. All finished goods outside the factory have been sold. During the year Rs 4.53 crore were recovered against old outstanding while sale was of Rs.0.35 crore only. HINDUSTHAN HEAVY CHEMICALS SECTION The production figures of the Section were as under : Production 2009-10 2008-09 Caustic Soda Lye 11,663 MT 11,737 M.T. Sulphuric Acid 19,061 MT 19,139 M.T. Hydrogen Gas 7,53,453 M 8,18,882 M3 3 Demand for Caustic Soda was subdued during the year due to slow down in Aluminium sector. However, there was improvement in demand for joint products – Chlorine and Hydrochloric Acid – towards the end of the year. Production of Caustic Soda was affected due to frequent breakdowns and power trippings. Production of Hydrogen Gas was lower due to lesser demand from Vanaspati Industry in the first half of the year but improved considerably towards end of the year. The Section continues to enjoy certificates for Quality and Environment management under ISO-9001-2000 and ISO-14001-2004. The Section takes various measures on its own and also in collaboration with various government agencies for improving awareness of environment and safety. Relations with employees continue to be cordial. EXCISE DUTY During the year under review a sum of Rs 289.98 crore (Rs 414.35 crore in 2008-09) was paid on account of Excise Duty on various products manufactured and sold by your Company. INSURANCE Appropriate Insurance cover has been taken for the properties of the Company.

Place: Kolkata Date: 28th April, 2010 For Price Waterhouse Firm Registration No. 301112E Chartered Accountants (S. K. Deb) Partner Membership No. 13390 30 2009-10 ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS ANNEXURE“B” REPORT ON MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS A. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT CEMENT Indian Cement Industry continues to be the second largest cement producer in the world with installed capacity of 244.69 million Ton. The Indian Cement Industry had a growth of 12% in the year under review as compared to 8% in previous year in spite of the global financial melt down affecting the entire world economy including India. During the year under review, Cement Industry has achieved capacity utilization of 85% as against 88% in preceding year, which has dropped mainly due to augmentation of new capacity. The cement production and consumption in India has recorded growth of 12% and 13% respectively over preceding year but the cement production and consumption in Southern Region, where both the cement Plants of the Company are situated have been only 9% & 5% respectively due to sizable addition of new capacity which has put pressure on Cement prices as well. TYRE The Indian Tyre Industry is mainly dominated by the organized sector and consists of five major players who together account for approximately 85% of the Industry’s turnover. These companies have a presence in all the major segments of the Tyre Industry – the replacement market, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) as well as export and consequently, offer the consumer a well diversified product mix. In the Indian Tyre Industry commercial vehicle tyres take the lead and account for approximately 65% of the Industry’s turnover. As a result, the growth of the entire Tyre Industry depends on primary factors like agricultural growth, overall GDP growth, industrial production, growth in vehicle demand and secondary factors like infrastructure development, prevailing interest rates and financing options. Another significant difference between the Indian and the global Tyre Industry is the extent of radialisation in the commercial vehicle tyres. Globally, commercial vehicle tyres are radialized to the extent of 70% as compared to India where the radialisation levels in this segment until last year was only 10%. However, this trend is gradually changing and it is expected that radialisation levels will go up to the extent of 20-25% in the next 2 years. The major domestic players have announced significant expansion plans to meet the growing demand for commercial vehicle radial tyres. RAYON & TRANSPARENT PAPER There is no growth in the production capacities in the country. The demand for Viscose Filament Yarn (VFY) is expected to be moderate in the short to medium term in view of the high competition with other fibres and increased imports in the country. Further, the Transparent Paper (TP) manufacturing is not viable due to high cost of inputs, cheap substitutes resulting into restricted demand. Looking to erratic demand of both the products, there does not appear to be any further scope of development. SPUN PIPES The Industry witnessed sluggish demand during the first half of the year under review. While demand for pipes has picked up but Cast Iron pipes continue to face very stiff competition from Ductile pipes. As the section is under Suspension of Work since 2nd May 2008, no comments are made under the heads “Opportunities & Threats, Segmentwise Performance, Outlook and Risks & Concerns.” HEAVY CHEMICALS The capacity utilization of Indian Caustic Soda Industry declined to around 67% during the year due to demand recession and huge import at dumping price. The Industry’s demand for imposition of safeguard duty – in addition to prevailing anti-dumping duty – has been favourably considered by the designated authority resulting in sharp decline in imports towards the end of the year. Capacity utilization in Sulphuric Acid Industry suffered in the first half due to import of the product at throwaway prices. However, the situation improved in the second half due to increase in prices of Sulphur and Sulphuric Acid in International Market. B. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS CEMENT In order to meet future demand for Cement, Industry has taken up large scale capacity expansion during the last three years and further substantial capacity addition is planned during next two years. 31 Creating world class road infrastructure for laying highways, road to rural connectivity, mass housing, urban development and projects for upliftment of rural economy etc. are some of the major thrust areas of Government and to achieve these objectives, Government has been increasing substantially its budget allocation in the last two years. Heavy augmentation in capacities by 70-80 million ton in next two to three years coupled with non-availability of good quality of coal and inadequate wagons for transportation are the main threats. TYRE The national thrust on road infrastructure, construction of expressways and national highways present a range of opportunities for the Tyre Industry. Creation of road infrastructure has given some fillip to surface transportation. Emphasis on making India an Auto Centre for small cars also augurs well for the Industry. The Tyre industry will continue to play an important role in this dynamic and evolving situation. The volatility in raw material prices is the biggest threat. RAYON & TRANSPARENT PAPER The curtailed production of VFY due to suspension of operations by few competitors created supply gap, which resulted in an opportunity to maintain the inventory. However, regular imports and stiff Chinese competition in International Market are the biggest threats to the VFY Industry. The TP segment is affected by slowdown in demand from ‘Fireworks’ Industry. Any increase in selling price due to increase in costs of inputs is threatened by diversion to cheaper alternatives. The volatility in raw material prices and imports from China, however, remains the biggest threat. HEAVY CHEMICALS Ongoing capacity addition and Greenfield projects in Aluminium sector in Eastern India will improve demand for Caustic Soda in the coming years. Lower production cost of larger capacity Caustic Soda Plants in Eastern India may affect competitiveness of the Unit. C. OUTLOOK CEMENT Even though, India is the second largest cement producer in the world, the per capita cement consumption is only 156 Kg., as against the world average of 396 Kg. Therefore, there is enormous opportunity for the growth of Cement Industry. This country has huge potential for cement consumption growth, considering major emphasis of the Government on infrastructure development and boost to housing sector through measures like easy finance, provision of tax incentives etc. TYRE Fortune of Tyre Industry is linked to the automobile & transportation sectors. Future looks bright due to various economic fillips by the government, large infrastructure spending and positive market sentiment. RAYON & TRANSPARENT PAPER The sales outlook of VFY appears positive owing to signs of revival in consumer off-take. However, focus will continue to be on increasing share of value added yarn and improving yarn quality. Realisations of TP are expected to be under pressure due to cheap imports and substitutes. The Government should consider to provide some incentives to encourage bio-degradability and eco-friendly attributes of this product. HEAVY CHEMICALS Improvement in demand for joint products – Chlorine, Hydrochloric Acid and Hydrogen Gas was witnessed during the second half of the year under review, which is expected to be sustained and is likely to result in better realization for the products. D. RISKS AND CONCERNS CEMENT Although cement demand is expected to grow with economic growth, large capacity additions may create surplus capacity in the short term. Any unexpected slow down in the economic activity or deferment of large infrastructure projects will aggravate the situation and affect margin adversely. Cement Industry is heavily dependent on coal for its fuel requirement. While cement capacity is increasing continuously whereas the allotment of coal against linkages is decreasing. As a result, Cement Industry’s fuel cost is increasing due to purchase of coal from open market, E-auction or import of coal. 32 2009-10 ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS Similarly, short supply of Railway Wagons is also a major bottleneck, affecting outward movement of cement and inward movement of raw materials like gypsum, coal etc. Alternate Road Transport, only add to the inward and outward transport costs. TYRE The volatility in all major raw material prices and the inverted duty structure between tyres and natural rubber puts further pressure on the Industry’s revenue and profitability. RAYON & TRANSPARENT PAPER The revenue is likely to be impacted due to increased competition and rising input costs in both VFY & TP segments. Exports are likely to be affected due to subdued demand. HEAVY CHEMICALS Steep increase in power cost caused by rise in price of coal is a major concern as power constitutes around 65% of cost of production in Caustic Soda Industry. E. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY The Company has proper and adequate systems of internal control, to safeguard all assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition. These systems also ensure that all transactions are authorized, recorded and reported correctly. Regular internal audits and checks are carried out to provide assurance that adequate systems are in place and that the responsibilities at various levels are discharged effectively. The Management continuously reviews the internal control systems and procedures to obtain comfort regarding orderly and efficient conduct of business. The review includes overseeing adherence to management policies, safeguarding the assets of the Company as well as ensuring the preparation of timely and accurate financial information. The emphasis on internal control prevails across functions and processes, covering the entire gamut of activities including finance, supply chain, sales and distribution, marketing and the like. A strong system of internal audit supported by Internal and External Auditors and effective & comprehensive reviews by the Audit Committee have strengthened the internal control within the organization. F. MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT IN HUMAN RESOURCES AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS Measures for safety of employees, training, welfare and development continue to get high priority at all levels, which are reflected in the improved quality and efficiency. Industrial relations have been cordial during the year under review except Spun Pipes Section, where the factory continues to be under suspension of work since 2nd May, 2008. G. The Company as a whole had 13,544 persons on its rolls as on 31.3.2010. H.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 3. As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003, as amended by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) (Amendment) Order, 2004, issued by the Central Government of India in terms of Section 227 (4A) of ‘The Companies Act, 1956’ of India (the ‘Act’) and on the basis of such checks of the books and records of the Company as we considered appropriate and according to the information and explanations given to us, we further report that : 3.1 (a) The Company is maintaining proper records showing full particulars (other than details regarding revaluations made during 1982-83) including quantitative details and situation of its fixed assets. (b) The fixed assets of the Company are physically verified by the Management according to phased programmes designed to cover all the items over a period of three years, which in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. Pursuant to such programmes [without any coverage for items of Company’s Spun Pipes & Foundries Unit (which is under suspension of work effective 2nd May, 2008 having year-end book value of Rs.4,09,93,039)], a portion of the fixed assets has been physically verified by the Management during the year and no material discrepancies between the book records and the physical inventory have been noticed. (c) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, a substantial part of fixed assets has not been disposed off by the Company during the year. 3.2 (a) The inventories [excluding stocks with third parties and pertaining to the aforesaid Spun Pipes & Foundries Unit (year-end book value Rs. 99,23,767)] have been physically verified by the Management during the year.

(b) In our opinion, the procedures of physical verification of inventories followed by the Management are reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the Company and nature of its business. (c) On the basis of our examination of the inventory records, in our opinion, the Company is maintaining proper records of inventories other than work-in-process. As in earlier years, work-in-process has been determined by the Management on the basis of physical verification as mentioned in paragraph 3.2 (a) above. The discrepancies noticed on physical verification of inventory as compared to book records were not material. 3.3 The Company has neither granted nor taken during the year any loans, secured or unsecured, to / from companies, firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under Section 301 of the Act. 3.4 In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, there is an adequate internal control system commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its business for the purchase of inventory, fixed assets and for the sale of goods.

Accordingly, the Company is currently not in a position to provide other related disclosures as required by the aforesaid AS 15 read with the ASB Guidance, however, having regard to the position of the Fund (for covered employees) and confirmation from the Trustees’ of such Fund there is no shortfall as at the year end.
