Affordable Robotic & Automation Limited has submitted newspaper advertisement copies of its postal ballot notice to BSE and NSE, confirming the electronic dispatch of voting materials to shareholders. The company issued a comprehensive postal ballot notice seeking member approval for significant corporate restructuring and related party transactions through remote e-voting.

Regulatory Compliance and Advertisement Submission

The company submitted newspaper advertisement copies to stock exchanges pursuant to Regulation 30 and Regulation 47 of SEBI LODR Regulations. The advertisements were published in Financial Express (English nationwide) and Loksatta (Marathi, Pune edition), confirming the dispatch of postal ballot notice through electronic mode.

Key Resolutions for Member Approval

The postal ballot encompasses three major business items requiring shareholder approval through remote e-voting from April 30 to May 29, 2026:

Subsidiary Shareholding Dilution

The most significant proposal involves the company's material subsidiary, ARAPL Raas Private Limited. Currently, Affordable Robotic & Automation holds 83.54% equity stake (74.56% on fully diluted basis) in the subsidiary. The proposed securities issuance to Sai Green Projects Private Limited for ₹48 crores will substantially dilute this holding.

This dilution will result in the cessation of control over ARAPL Raas Private Limited, requiring special resolution approval under Regulation 24(5) of SEBI LODR Regulations.

Related Party Transaction Approvals

The company seeks member approval for substantial related party transactions for FY 2026-27. The proposed transactions with ARAPL Raas Private Limited include sale of goods, loans, advances, and financial assistance up to ₹100 crores. Additionally, the company seeks approval for borrowings up to ₹50 crores from promoter entities to meet business requirements and liquidity needs.

The company has engaged INSTAVOTE platform for remote e-voting facility, with CS Deepti Maheshwari (Membership No. 9435, CP No. 12214) appointed as Scrutinizer to conduct the postal ballot process in a fair and transparent manner.

The postal ballot notice complies with Section 110 of the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI LODR Regulations. The notice is being distributed electronically to members whose email addresses are registered with the company or depositories as of the cut-off date.
