Financial Limits and Business Rationale
The proposals aim to increase the aggregate borrowing and investment limits to ₹500 crore or the aggregate of the paid-up share capital, securities premium, and free reserves, whichever is higher. This represents an increase from the previous borrowing limit of ₹175 crore approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on July 19, 2024. The company stated that the enhanced limits are necessary to support its operations across 263 stores in ten states, where revenue from operations rose to ₹1,840.87 crore in FY26 from ₹972.65 crore in FY24.
Remuneration Approval
Shareholders will also vote on an ordinary resolution to approve the remuneration of Mr. Avishek Prasad, Head – General Merchandise. The proposal seeks approval for a maximum remuneration not exceeding ₹10,00,000 per month. Mr. Avishek Prasad is the son of Mr. Bhagwan Prasad, Whole-time Director of the company, and is classified as a related party. The company has engaged MUFG Intime India Private Limited as the Registrar and Transfer Agent to facilitate the e-voting process.
