Arvind Limited shareholders adopted the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, and declared a final dividend on equity shares during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on September 22, 2026.

The meeting was conducted via Video Conferencing (VC) and Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM), commencing at 11:00 am and concluding at 11:52 am. The company facilitated remote e-voting for members from September 19 to September 21, 2026, alongside live e-voting for attendees.

Resolutions approved by shareholders

The AGM addressed several key corporate actions through ordinary and special resolutions. The adoption of the consolidated and standalone financial statements, along with the reports of the Directors and Auditors, formed the primary agenda item. The declaration of the final dividend for FY26 was also ratified by the members.

Key governance changes included the re-appointment of two directors retiring by rotation:

Punit Lalbhai
Kulin Lalbhai

Additionally, shareholders ratified the remuneration of M/s. Kiran J. Mehta & Co., Cost Accountants, for the financial year ending March 31, 2026. A special resolution was passed regarding the payment of commission to non-executive directors, capped at 1% of the company's net profits.

Voting results and shareholder participation

The company disclosed that there were 1,99,714 shareholders as of the record date, September 15, 2026. Due to the virtual format, physical attendance was not applicable. Participation through digital means was recorded as follows:

Participant Category	Number of Attendees

The Scrutinizer's Report confirmed the passage of all resolutions with requisite majorities. While routine items like financial adoption and dividend declaration saw near-unanimous support, the re-appointment of directors attracted dissenting votes from public institutional investors.

What the Numbers Show

A divergence in shareholder sentiment is visible between routine financial approvals and director re-appointments. While the adoption of financial statements and dividend declaration received over 99.99% support, the re-appointment of Kulin Lalbhai saw 2.49% opposition, primarily from Public Institutions who voted against him with 5.16% of their polled votes. In comparison, Punit Lalbhai’s re-appointment faced 1.15% overall opposition, with Public Institutions voting against at a rate of 2.38%. This suggests specific institutional concerns regarding Kulin Lalbhai’s board tenure or performance relative to his counterpart, despite both being part of the promoter group.
