      "FINDING 1 — Renewable energy share APPEARS LOW in BRSR Section C P6 Q1: 6,143.73 TJ renewable / 105,274.69 TJ total = 5.83%. HOWEVER BRSR narrative + corporate overview repeatedly state green ELECTRICITY share is 56.09% of power mix (and 'over 56% of energy mix' in MD letter). The 5.83% figure includes the kiln thermal-fuel denominator (which remains fossil-heavy with TSR only 2.41%); 56.09% applies to electricity only. ESG Data Book reportedly cites 65.65% — likely uses a different boundary. Recommend reporting BOTH BRSR-verbatim 5.83% (total energy basis) AND 56.09% (green electricity share) to avoid distortion in benchmark.",
      "FINDING 2 — Headline Scope 1+2 intensity per tonne cementitious = 546 kg/t (verbatim from BRSR table). Calculated per tonne cement (33.519 MT) = 648.5 kg/t. The 546 figure uses 'cementitious material' denominator which includes blended additions (fly ash + slag). Net Scope 1 intensity target disclosed as 0.51 tCO2/t cementitious by 2030 (vs FY 2024-25 actual 0.534 — already close to target).",
      "FINDING 3 — TSR (Thermal Substitution Rate) is LOW at 2.41% — likely among the lowest in the cement-major sample. Shree Cement's strategy is renewable-ELECTRICITY-led decarbonisation (56% green power, RE100 commitment), not alternative-FUEL-led (low TSR). Meaningful differentiator vs UltraTech / Dalmia who push TSR > 6%.",
      "FINDING 4 — Workforce numbers in task pre-fill (~14,256) DO NOT MATCH BRSR Section A: Total = 7,907 employees + 13,371 workers = 21,278. Verified BRSR figures used. (The 14,256 may have been a parser confusion between workers-only and total.)",
      "FINDING 5 — Worker turnover rate flagged at 71.58% (vs 8.89% prior FY). BRSR footnote explicitly states 'Increase in turnover is due to voluntary retirement by workforce.' Suspicious but disclosed verbatim — possible workforce restructuring event in FY 2024-25.",
      "FINDING 6 — Multiple FY 2023-24 restatements per 'FY25 ISF guidance on BRSR Core' (SEBI Industry Standards Forum guidance issued mid-2024). Affected fields documented in restatement_log_ref. Original first-disclosed values not retained in BRSR (restated only).",
