The announcement pertains to the routine grant of employee stock options, which is a standard corporate practice and does not inherently indicate a significant positive or negative shift in the company's performance or outlook.

The exercise price for these options is set at ₹312.00 per option, which is the closing price on January 14, 2026, the trading day prior to the grant date, on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, chosen for its higher trading volume. These options will vest over three years, with 30% vesting at the end of the first year, another 30% at the end of the second year, and the remaining 40% at the end of the third year.
