Strategic Capitalization
The Board authorized increasing borrowing limits under Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013. The total amount borrowed shall not exceed ₹5,000 crore at any time. These funds are intended for working capital requirements and capital expenditure.
Additionally, the Board authorized investments, loans, guarantees, or securities up to ₹5,000 crore under Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013. Both authorizations are subject to necessary approvals.
Regulatory Filings
The company proposed altering the Object Clause in its MOA to expand its operational scope. This includes manufacturing edible oils, processing agricultural produce, and dealing in food products. The new MOA and AOA were adopted to align with current corporate governance requirements.
Dharti Proteins convened its 32nd Annual General Meeting for September 28, 2026, to seek shareholder approval for these changes. Mr. Kamlesh Mahendrabhai Shah was appointed as the scrutinizer for the e-voting process.
