The first two items were ordinary resolutions, while the appointment of Ms. Jorway was classified as a special resolution.

Public non-institutional shareholders showed higher dissent here, with only 39.73% voting in favor compared to 60.27% against.

Item 3: Appointment of Pooja Jorway

The special resolution to appoint Ms. Pooja Jorway as Whole Time Director and CFO received 18,284,850 votes in favor (99.94%) and 11,603 votes against (0.06%).

Governance and Attendance

All Executive Directors, Non-Executive Directors, Independent Directors, and the CFO were present at the AGM. Statutory Auditors M/s Dassani & Associates LLP, along with Secretarial Auditor and Scrutinizer M/s Agrawal Mundra & Associates, also attended the proceedings.

Mr. Dabkara addressed members regarding the company’s performance, business outlook, and future strategy. Shareholders were given an opportunity to ask questions, which were addressed by the Chairman.

What the Numbers Show

While promoter and institutional support was unanimous across all resolutions, dissent was concentrated among public non-institutional shareholders, particularly regarding the re-appointment of Ms. Priyanka Dabkara. Over 60% of the votes cast by this segment opposed her re-appointment, contrasting sharply with the near-unanimous support from the promoter group (holding ~66% of equity) and institutional investors. Despite this dissent, the promoter block’s overwhelming majority ensured the resolution passed with 99.88% of total polled votes.

Voting Process

The company provided remote e-voting facilities for all three resolutions. Members who participated in the virtual meeting but had not voted remotely could also cast their votes electronically during the session.

The meeting concluded at 11:38 am with a vote of thanks to the Board and members.

EKI Energy Services has expanded its global plastic and circular economy efforts with the launch of its first Verra-registered plastic initiative in Bangladesh. The development marks a significant step in the company's growing sustainability portfolio, extending its reach into plastic credit and circular economy solutions on an international scale.

Expanding into plastic credits and circular economy

The initiative represents Eki Energy Services' entry into the Verra-registered plastic credits space, a framework that provides verified standards for plastic waste reduction and circular economy projects. By registering its first plastic initiative under the Verra registry in Bangladesh, the company broadens its environmental services beyond carbon markets into the emerging plastic credit ecosystem.

The project is registered under Verra’s Plastic Waste Reduction Standard, a global framework established to support plastic waste collection and recycling activities while developing credible environmental markets for waste reduction. For EKI, this milestone reinforces its strategy of providing solutions that address climate change alongside broader environmental challenges.

Strategic significance of the Bangladesh initiative

Bangladesh, as the location for this first Verra-registered plastic initiative, positions Eki Energy Services within a region where plastic waste management and circular economy interventions carry considerable environmental relevance. The Verra registration lends credibility and international recognition to the initiative, aligning it with globally accepted standards for plastic waste reduction projects.

This initiative represents a strategic expansion into a major South Asian market. Through the project, EKI aims to implement structured approaches to plastic waste recovery, contributing to the development of more circular material flows. By adhering to Verra's rigorous monitoring, verification and certification processes, the project will generate Plastic Credits that help increase the collection of waste and the availability of recycled plastic feedstock, preventing valuable materials from entering landfills or leaking into the environment.

Manish Dabkara, Chairman and Managing Director of EKI Energy Services Limited, said: “The registration of our first plastic project in Bangladesh is an important milestone in EKI's journey of expanding environmental solutions across geographies. Plastic waste is a global challenge that requires structured systems for collection, recovery and recycling, supported by credible environmental markets. Our experience in developing a plastic project in India gave us valuable insight into the potential of this sector. Taking that experience into Bangladesh strengthens our ability to support the development of circular economy solutions while creating new opportunities for environmental finance.”
