4) REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
A. ENERGY:
Divestment of FSRU Vasant-1' A Strategic Exit from
O_shore Operations:
As part of its strategic capital reallocation and risk mitigation
initiative, Swan Energy Limited ("SEL"), through its wholly owned subsidiary
Triumph O_shore Private Limited ("TOPL"), has completed the sale of its Floating
Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), Vasant-1', for a total consideration of
approximately USD 399 million.
This divestment was driven by the ongoing volatility in global LNG
markets, particularly following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which led to an unprecedented
surge in LNG prices. These market dynamics adversely impacted the operational viability of
offshore regasification models. Recognizing the shifting landscape, the Company
proactively exited the FSRU asset to redeploy capital more efficiently and align with
long-term growth opportunities in the energy infrastructure segment.
Onshore LNG Terminal at Jafrabad Nearing Completion:
Parallel to the divestment, SEL is progressing steadily towards the
commissioning of its onshore LNG terminal at Jafrabad, Gujarat. This landmark
infrastructure project will significantly enhance the country's LNG handling capacity
and marks a pivotal development in SEL's energy portfolio.
The terminal is at an advanced stage of completion and is expected to
be operational in the near future.
Positioning for India's New Energy Transition:
With global LNG prices expected to stabilize and India moving steadily
towards a gas-based economy, Swan Energy is well-positioned to play a crucial role in the
nation's clean energy transition. The onshore terminal will serve as a vital import
gateway, reinforcing energy security and contributing to the country's climate and
sustainability goals.
These developments reflect the Company's clear vision to emerge as
a leading player in the New Energy space, supported by prudent capital allocation,
infrastructure readiness, and long-term strategic partnerships.
B. REAL ESTATE:
Cardinal One Project Successfully Completed with Strong Sales:
Swan Energy Limited, through its wholly owned subsidiary Cardinal
Energy and Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. (CEIPL), has successfully completed its flagship
residential project, Cardinal One, located in Yeshwanthpur, Bengaluru. The project
received its Occupation Certificate (OC), marking a key operational milestone. With over
90% of the 120 premium 3 & 4 BHK apartments sold, the strong response underscores
market confidence in the Company's execution and quality standards.
Strategic Land Bank and Asset Monetization in Progress:
The Company continues to maintain a robust land bank across Southern
India and is actively exploring monetization opportunities to unlock value. In line with
this strategy, SEL successfully completed the sale of its Mangalore land parcel in the
previous financial year. These actions reflect the Company's focus on capital
optimization and long-term value creation within its real estate portfolio.
C. SHIPBUILDING:
Revitalization of India's Largest Shipyard through NCLT
Acquisition:
Swan Energy Limited, through its step-down subsidiary Swan Defence and
Heavy Industries Limited (SDHI) [BSE: 533107 : NSE: SWANDEF], has made significant strides
in reviving India's largest integrated shipyard, formerly known as Reliance Naval and
Engineering Limited. Acquired through a resolution plan approved by the National Company
Law Tribunal (NCLT), the shipyard has undergone a transformational revival.
Backed by strategic capital deployment, infrastructure modernization,
and the induction of an experienced leadership team, the facility has been converted into
a fully operational and modern shipbuilding complex, aligned with India's defence and
maritime ambitions.
Commencement of Operations and On-Time Execution for Indian Coast
Guard:
During the financial year, SDHI successfully recommenced operations at
the shipyard, marking a key milestone in its turnaround journey. Demonstrating its
operational readiness and project execution strength, the Company completed three refit
orders for the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) all delivered ahead of schedule.
This achievement reinforces the shipyard's capabilities to execute
complex naval and commercial marine projects with precision, reliability, and adherence to
timelines critical factors in establishing long-term credibility in the
shipbuilding sector.
5) QIP PROCEEDS:
Capital Infusion through QIP and Strategic Debt Reduction:
Swan Energy Limited ("SEL"), in line with its long-term
strategic vision, successfully completed a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP), raising
approximately 3,32,000 Lakhs at an issue price of 670 per equity share. The capital
raised through this QIP has been prudently allocated towards significant debt reduction
across the Group entities. This initiative has not only strengthened the consolidated
financial position of the Company but has also enhanced its operational flexibility and
capacity to undertake future growth opportunities.
