FOCE India Limited's postal ballot process concluded with all seven resolutions treated as "Not Passed" after no valid votes were cast by shareholders during the remote e-voting period. The outcome, declared on July 18, 2026, impacts key proposals including the migration of equity shares from the National Stock Exchange of India Limited Emerge Platform to the Main Board and the re-appointment of its Managing Director. The failure to achieve a requisite majority stalls the company's planned transition to the main board and the extension of leadership terms.

As per the Scrutinizer's Report submitted by CS Brajesh Gupta of Brajesh Gupta & Co., none of the 516 shareholders entitled to vote exercised their rights. Consequently, the requisite majority prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 was not achieved for any resolution.
