Garware Hi-Tech Films shareholders approved all four ordinary resolutions at the company's 69th Annual General Meeting, held on September 23, 2026. The meeting, conducted at the registered office in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, saw unanimous support for key items including the final dividend and director re-appointments.
The compliance filing submitted to stock exchanges confirmed that voting results were finalized by the scrutinizer, CS Mannish L. Ghia. The process included both remote e-voting via NSDL and physical ballot voting at the venue. No invalid votes were recorded across any of the resolutions presented to the members.
Voting outcomes for financial statements and dividend
The first resolution concerned the adoption of audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026. This item received overwhelming support, with 14,980,586 votes cast in favor against just 3 votes against. Similarly, the declaration of the final dividend on equity shares for FY26 was approved with nearly identical margins, securing 14,980,589 affirmative votes.

| Adoption of Financial Statements | 14,980,586 | 3 | 99.99% |
| Declaration of Final Dividend | 14,980,589 | 3 | 99.99% |

Director re-appointment and auditor ratification
Ms. Sonia Garware, who retired by rotation under Section 152(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, was re-appointed as a director. While this resolution passed comfortably, it attracted slightly more dissent than other items, with 5,274 votes cast against her re-appointment. The promoters abstained from voting on this specific item as they were interested in the agenda.
The fourth resolution, regarding the ratification of the remuneration of cost auditors, also passed with requisite majority. Public institutions and non-institutional shareholders participated actively through remote e-voting, while a small number of attendees voted physically at the meeting.
What the Numbers Show
A distinct pattern emerges when comparing voter turnout across different categories. Promoter and promoter group holdings, which constitute a significant portion of the total share capital, voted in near-unanimous support for financial statements and dividends, casting 12,994,650 votes in favor with zero opposition. However, for the re-appointment of Ms. Sonia Garware, promoters abstained entirely from voting, shifting the weight of the decision to public institutional and non-institutional shareholders. Despite this absence, the public vote still ensured a strong 99.73% approval rate, indicating robust confidence among minority shareholders despite the slight uptick in dissenting votes compared to routine administrative resolutions.
