Duke Offshore Limited passed all 12 resolutions proposed at its 40th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on September 30, 2026. The meeting was conducted through video conferencing and other audio-visual means.
The agenda included the adoption of audited financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. Shareholders also approved the regularisation of appointments for several directors, including Ashutosh Janak Kumar Thakar as Whole-Time Director and Aksha Mohit Kamboj as Director. Three non-executive independent directors were also regularised.
Key Approvals and Corporate Actions
Beyond governance matters, shareholders approved significant corporate actions. These included a change in the object clause of the Memorandum of Association and an increase in authorised share capital. The company also secured approval for the sale of fixed assets and material related party transactions under Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013.
The voting results indicated strong support for all proposals. For most ordinary and special resolutions, votes in favour exceeded 99.99% of the votes polled. The only resolution with a slightly lower margin was the approval of material related party transactions, where promoters abstained from voting as required by law.

What the Numbers Show
A distinct pattern emerges when comparing the voting turnout for standard corporate actions versus related party transactions. For 11 out of 12 resolutions, approximately 7.03 million shares voted, representing about 71.38% of the total outstanding shares. However, for the material related party transaction (Item No. 11), only 76,047 shares voted. This sharp drop is due to the mandatory exclusion of promoter group holdings, which constitute the majority of the shareholding base. Consequently, the outcome of this specific resolution relied entirely on the minority public shareholders, who overwhelmingly supported the transaction with 99.91% of their votes in favour.
