Ganga Papers India Limited shareholders approved the continuation of Ramesh Kumar Chaudhary as a Non-Executive Director beyond the statutory age limit of 75 years. The approval was granted during the company's 42nd Annual General Meeting held on Monday, September 28, 2026.

The decision complies with Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Chaudhary, who currently serves as Chairman and Director, will attain the age of 75 on July 23, 2027. The board recommended this continuation to ensure leadership stability given his extensive experience in business planning and management.

Director profile and tenure

Chaudhary has been associated with the company since April 3, 2006. He holds a graduate degree and a postgraduate degree in Politics. His expertise spans business development and overall corporate management. A notable governance disclosure highlights that he is the father of Amit Chaudhary, the company's Chief Financial Officer.

Governance implications

The approval allows Chaudhary to continue in his non-executive capacity despite crossing the standard age threshold for independent or non-executive directors under current listing norms. This move underscores the board's preference for retaining long-standing institutional knowledge within the governance structure. The disclosure was filed with BSE Limited as part of the company's compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI listing regulations.
