Additionally, the remuneration of Cost Auditors for FY27 was ratified, passing with negligible opposition.
The audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, were adopted. The voting results indicate strong promoter alignment, with promoters and promoter group holding 137,259,146 shares and casting 100% of their votes in favor of all routine items.
Related Party Transactions
Two material related party transactions were approved, though they faced notable dissent from institutional investors. The first involved transactions with KNRHC Baidyanath Banhardih Coal Mine Private Limited, a subsidiary. The second covered transactions with KNR-SIML (JV), a related party.
In both cases, institutional public shareholders voted against approximately 22% of the valid votes cast. Promoter group votes were excluded from the validity calculation for these specific resolutions as per SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.

What the Numbers Show
A distinct divergence appears between routine governance items and related party transactions. While routine resolutions enjoyed near-unanimous support from institutional investors (100% in favor), institutional opposition to the two material related party transactions was significant, reaching 22.0793% of valid votes cast. This suggests that while institutional confidence remains high in general management, there is specific caution regarding the scale or nature of dealings with the coal mine subsidiary and the joint venture.
