What the numbers show
The voting data reveals a stark contrast between promoter and institutional sentiment regarding the company's FY26 financial performance. For Resolution 1 (Adoption of Financial Statements), promoters and promoter group voted 100% in favour. However, Public-Institutions cast 94.32% of their votes against the resolution, amounting to 1,20,23,541 votes against versus only 7,24,390 in favour. Despite this heavy institutional opposition, the resolution passed due to the overwhelming weight of promoter votes (13,77,19,454 in favour).
In contrast, the Final Dividend declaration (Resolution 2) received near-unanimous support across all categories, with Public-Institutions voting 98.43% in favour. This suggests that while institutional investors may have concerns regarding the accounting or reporting standards reflected in the FY26 financial statements, they remain aligned with the board's capital return policy.
