Keto Motors Limited (formerly Taaza International Limited) has appointed Aarthi Consultant Private Limited as its new Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA), replacing Niche Technologies Private Limited. The Board of Directors approved the change on July 24, 2026, citing improved operational efficiency and better administrative interaction as key drivers for the transition. This move aims to streamline share transfer processes for investors while ensuring continuity through a structured data migration period. The appointment is subject to the execution of definitive agreements, with the effective date to be intimated to stock exchanges after procedural formalities are completed.

The Board meeting, held at the company’s registered office in Secunderabad, Telangana, also addressed significant governance updates. Directors approved the adoption of a new set of Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA). These documents require subsequent approval from members to ensure full compliance with the Companies Act, 2013, replacing provisions based on the erstwhile Companies Act, 1956. The filing was made under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read with SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/CFD-PoD-1/P/CIR/2023/123 dated July 13, 2023.

Key Changes in Corporate Governance

The adoption of new MOA and AOA is procedural, aimed at aligning the company’s constitutional documents with current statutory requirements. The filing states there is no change in the main objects of the company. Key modifications include re-aligning object and liability clauses with Table A of Schedule I of the new Act and restructuring the AOA based on "Table-F" for companies limited by shares.

RTA Transition Details

Aarthi Consultant Private Limited, a Hyderabad-based SEBI-registered RTA (Regn No. INR000000379), will assume responsibilities once definitive agreements are executed. Niche Technologies Private Limited will continue to serve as the RTA until the completion of data transition, shifting of electronic connectivity, and receipt of confirmations from NSDL and CDSL. The exact effective date will be intimated to stock exchanges after these procedures are finalized.

What the Numbers Show

This appointment reflects a strategic move towards localized administrative support, given that Aarthi Consultant is based in Hyderabad, closer to Keto Motors’ registered office in Secunderabad compared to the previous Kolkata-based provider. The simultaneous update of MOA and AOA indicates a broader effort to modernize corporate governance structures, ensuring no regulatory friction arises from outdated statutory references. Shareholders should monitor future communications for the specific date when the new RTA becomes operational.

Keto Motors Limited (formerly known as Taaza International Limited) has initiated a postal ballot process to seek shareholder approval for the adoption of a new Memorandum of Association (MOA), a new Articles of Association (AOA), and the appointment of Avula Venkata Narayana Reddy as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director.

This corporate action aims to align the company’s constitutional documents with the Companies Act, 2013, and update its board composition.
