Howard Hotels shareholders approved all three resolutions at its 37th Annual General Meeting held on September 4, 2026. The key agenda item was a special resolution to shift the company’s registered office from Delhi to Uttar Pradesh.

The meeting, conducted via video conference, also saw the adoption of audited financial statements for FY26 and the re-appointment of director Shrikant Mittal. All resolutions passed with overwhelming support from both promoter and public shareholders.

Of the 6,721 shareholders on record as of August 28, 2026, only 66 attended the meeting virtually—four from the promoter group and 62 from the public category. No shareholders were present in person or through proxy.
