Mr. Jhaveri is not related to any other directors of the company.

Item 4: Continuation of Bahubali Shantilal Shah

A special resolution approved the continuation of Mr. Bahubali Shantilal Shah (DIN: 00347465) as Non-Executive Director post age 75.

Item 6: Related party transactions

Approval was granted for related party transactions with Lok Prakashan Limited. 81,71,400 votes were cast in favour, with 100% approval among valid votes.

What the numbers show

The data reveals a distinct pattern in promoter engagement across different resolutions. While promoters voted enthusiastically on general matters like financial statements and WTD reappointment (voting ~79% of their holding), they significantly abstained or invalidated votes on specific director-related items. For Item 4 (Shah continuation), promoters invalidated 40,36,100 votes, and for Item 5 (Jhaveri regularization), they invalidated 46,03,300 votes. This suggests strategic non-participation or procedural abstention on specific governance appointments, despite overall unanimous support from those who voted.

What specific regulatory or governance concerns prompted the significant volume of invalid or abstained promoter votes on director reappointments?

How might the continued involvement of a 75-year-old Non-Executive Director impact GCCL's long-term succession planning and board refreshment strategies?

Will the approved related party transactions with Lok Prakashan Limited influence GCCL's future capital allocation or project financing decisions?

GCCL Infrastructure & Projects Limited has scheduled its 32nd Annual General Meeting for September 30, 2026. The company announced a book closure period from September 24 to September 30 to determine shareholders eligible for the meeting.

The gathering in Ahmedabad focuses on governance matters, including the adoption of FY26 financial statements and specific director appointments. Management enclosed the Notice of AGM along with the Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2026.

Governance Agenda

Shareholders will address three primary items during the session. The first involves receiving and adopting the audited financial statements for FY26, accompanied by the reports of the Board of Directors and auditors.

The second item concerns the reappointment of Sheila Bharat Shah (DIN: 02406793). She retires by rotation at this meeting and offers herself for reappointment as a Director liable to retire by rotation.

Director Action DIN
Sheila Bharat Shah Reappointment by rotation 02406793
Dhirendra Ansukhlal Avashia Continuation post age 75 05145925

The third resolution seeks approval for Dhirendra Ansukhlal Avashia (DIN: 05145925) to continue as a Non-Executive Independent Director after attaining the age of 75 years. This aligns with Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Voting and Record Dates

The company mandates remote e-voting for all resolutions. The voting period runs from September 27, 2026, at 9:00 am to September 29, 2026, at 5:00 pm.

Pursuant to Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from September 24, 2026, to September 30, 2026. This closure determines the members entitled to attend the AGM.

For e-voting eligibility, the company fixed September 23, 2026, as the cut-off date. Individual shareholders holding shares in demat mode can access voting through CDSL or NSDL platforms. Physical shareholders must use the CDSL e-Voting system. Those who vote electronically before the meeting date cannot vote at the venue.

Board Participation

Exhibit data shows varying board engagement levels for the directors involved in these resolutions. Ms. Shah attended two board meetings in FY26 and two in FY27 up to the notice date. Mr. Avashia attended eight meetings in FY26 and three in FY27.

Both directors hold no shareholding in the company as of the notice date. Neither receives remuneration from GCCL Infrastructure & Projects Limited.

How might the reappointment of Sheila Bharat Shah and the continued tenure of Dhirendra Ansukhlal Avashia influence GCCL's strategic direction and governance stability in the coming fiscal year?

Given that both directors hold no shareholding and receive no remuneration, what incentives or governance mechanisms are in place to ensure their alignment with shareholder interests?

What specific financial performance metrics from the FY26 audited statements are investors likely to scrutinize most closely during the AGM adoption process?
