The revised object clause covers manufacturing, assembly, import, export and distribution of solar modules, inverters, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and power conversion systems.
It also includes engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) activities for solar, wind, hybrid and other renewable energy projects, along with biogas and power generation businesses.
What changes now

However, these changes remain subject to shareholder approval through a postal ballot and any required regulatory approvals.
The company has appointed NSDL as the remote e-voting agency and Siddharth Sipani & Associates as the scrutinizer for the postal ballot process.
What to track next
Investors should monitor the outcome of the postal ballot, regulatory approvals and completion of the acquisition.
Future disclosures may provide additional details regarding integration of the subsidiary and execution of the company's renewable energy strategy.
