The Board of Directors approved the re-appointment of Mr. Shyam Lal Diwan as the Internal Auditor for FY27 and onwards until the Board decides. Additionally, the Board accepted the withdrawal of resignation from Ms. Surbhi Gupta, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer. Consequently, she will continue in her existing capacity, and the earlier proposed cessation date stands nullified.
Operational Updates
Subsequent to the financial year-end, on May 16, 2026, the company suspended operations at its manufacturing facility in Haryana due to critical supply shortages of industrial gas and fuel and severe escalations in utility pricing. The duration of this suspension remains uncertain, and the Board has initiated a strategic review of the company’s asset footprint. During the year, the company allotted 20,00,000 fully convertible warrants, raising ₹2.81 crore, which remains outstanding as of March 31, 2026.
