man infraconstruction shareholders approved a combined final dividend of ₹0.90 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, during its 24th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on August 12, 2026. The meeting, conducted via Video Conferencing and Other Audio Visual Means (VC/OVAM), also addressed significant changes to the Board of Directors, including the retirement of Chairman Berjis Desai and the appointment of new independent oversight.
The AGM was chaired by Mr. Berjis Desai, who commenced the proceedings at 11:00 A.M. after confirming the quorum. The company complied with regulations issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), allowing remote e-voting under Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013, and Regulation 44 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015. Remote voting was available from August 9, 2026, at 9:00 A.M. to August 11, 2026, at 5:00 P.M., with additional e-voting facilities provided during the live meeting.
Key Resolutions Passed
Shareholders voted on six ordinary resolutions. The financial statements for FY26 were adopted without qualification, as both the Statutory Auditors' Report and Secretarial Auditors' Report contained no adverse comments or observations that would materially affect the company's functioning. The key outcomes included:
| Resolution No. | Description | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Adoption of Audited Standalone and Consolidated Financial Statements for FY26 | Passed |
| 2 | Confirmation of Final Dividend of ₹0.90 per equity share (₹0.45 interim + ₹0.45 interim) | Passed |
| 3 | Re-appointment of Ashok M. Mehta as Director | Passed |
| 4 | Retirement of Berjis Desai; vacancy not filled | Passed |
| 5 | Ratification of remuneration for Cost Auditors Shekhar Joshi & Co. | Passed |
| 6 | Appointment of Rajiv N. Sheth as Independent Director for 5 years | Passed |
Board Composition Changes
The most notable structural change involves the departure of Mr. Berjis Desai, who retires by rotation. He did not offer himself for reappointment due to his new role as a Member of the National Commission on Minorities, appointed by the Government of India. Consequently, the vacancy created by his exit will not be filled immediately.
To maintain independent oversight, the shareholders approved the appointment of Mr. Rajiv N. Sheth (DIN: 00539774) as an Independent Director for an initial term of five years. Additionally, Mr. Ashok M. Mehta (DIN: 03099844), who was retiring by rotation, successfully sought reappointment to the Board.
Auditor and Compliance Updates
The company ratified the payment of remuneration to M/s. Shekhar Joshi & Co., Cost Accountants, serving as the Cost Auditors for the financial year ending March 31, 2027. The Chairman noted that the Annual Report 2025-26 and statutory registers were available for electronic inspection during the meeting. The voting results, along with the Scrutinizer's Report, are scheduled to be communicated to the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited within two working days of the AGM's conclusion.
