Asian Hotels (East) delays Q4FY26 results, reappoints director
Asian Hotels (East) Limited has deferred the approval of its audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and FY26 following advice from statutory auditors M/s Singhi & Co. The auditors identified matters regarding the company's investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary that require further examination, prompting the Audit Committee to withhold its recommendation. Consequently, the Board could not approve the results within the regulatory timeline. Separately, the Board reappointed Mr Sandipan Chakravortty as Independent Director for a second term of five years, effective from 10th August, 2026, subject to shareholder approval.
