Additionally, Chandrahas Zaveri was appointed as an Independent Director on the Board. The company also obtained shareholder ratification for the remuneration of its Cost Auditors for the financial year ending March 31, 2027.
G. D. Apte & Co., Chartered Accountants, served as the statutory auditors, while P. Mehta & Associates acted as the Secretarial Auditor. The Chairman, Keval N.

What the Numbers Show
The near-unanimous approval rate of 99.9995% across all resolutions underscores robust alignment between the promoter group and public shareholders. The promoter group’s complete support (100% of polled votes) drove the overall outcome, while the minimal dissent from public non-institutional investors (two votes against per resolution) had negligible impact on the final tally. This high level of consensus suggests stable board composition and shareholder confidence in the current management structure, particularly regarding the retention of experienced directors like Utsav R. Kapadia and the appointment of new independent oversight through Chandrahas Zaveri.
