Kitex Garments Limited shareholders approved a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) for capital raising and a final dividend of ₹0.50 per equity share during the 34th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on September 25, 2026.

The meeting, conducted via Video Conferencing (VC) and Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM), saw the adoption of audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for FY26. The board also approved several material related party transactions involving subsidiaries and affiliates, including Kitex Apparel Parks Limited and Kitex Childrenswear Limited.

Key resolutions passed

Shareholders voted on ten agenda items, ranging from director appointments to significant corporate actions. The QIP proposal, which requires special resolution approval, aims to strengthen the company's capital structure. Additionally, Mr. Bijoy Philipose was appointed as an Independent Director, while Mr. K L V Narayanan was re-appointed following his retirement by rotation.

Auditor observations and compliance

The Company Secretary highlighted that the Independent Auditor's Report on Standalone Financial Statements contained qualifications. However, it was confirmed that the Consolidated Financial Statements did not contain any such qualifications. Observations in the Secretarial Audit Report were described as self-explanatory, with explanations provided by the Board indicating no material adverse effect on the company's functioning.

Voting and meeting logistics

Remote e-voting commenced on September 22, 2026, and concluded on September 24, 2026. CS Vincent P D of M/s. SVJS & Associates served as the scrutinizer. The e-voting results are to be reported to stock exchanges and placed on the company website within two working days of the meeting's conclusion.

What the Numbers Show

Detailed voting results reveal a significant divergence between promoter and institutional investor sentiment regarding the QIP proposal. While promoters voted 100% in favour, institutional investors cast 99.55% of their votes against the QIP, with only 0.45% in favour. This contrasts sharply with retail non-institutional public shareholders, who voted 99.97% in favour. Similarly, institutional investors expressed strong dissent on the adoption of FY26 financial statements, voting 80.73% against, despite the resolution passing overall due to overwhelming promoter support.
