Mayur Uniquoters Limited shareholders rejected the re-appointment of Arun Bagaria as Whole Time Director designated as Executive Director during its 33rd Annual General Meeting held on September 18, 2026. The special resolution required a 75% majority but secured only 70.44% support, failing to pass.
The meeting, conducted via video conferencing from Jaipur, saw participation from 124 members, including five promoters and 119 public shareholders. Chairman and Managing Director Suresh Kumar Poddar was unable to speak due to health reasons; Arun Bagaria addressed the meeting on his behalf.
Key Resolutions Passed and Rejected
Shareholders approved five of the six resolutions placed before them. These included the adoption of standalone and consolidated audited financial statements for FY26, the declaration of a ₹6 final dividend, and the ratification of the cost auditor’s remuneration for FY27. Vinod Kumar Haritwal was appointed as an Independent Director.

| Special | Appointment of Vinod Kumar Haritwal | Approved | 99.38% |

Mr. Bagaria was re-appointed as a director retiring by rotation under an ordinary resolution, which passed with 70.40% support. However, the separate special resolution to designate him as Executive Director w.e.f. August 1, 2027, failed despite receiving 19.76 million votes in favour.
