The meeting, chaired by Mr. Ankan Gupta, saw the adoption of audited financial statements for FY26 and alterations to the Articles of Association. While four of the five resolutions passed, the rejection of Mr. Darak’s reappointment stands out as the most contentious item on the agenda. The Consolidated Scrutinizer’s Report, issued by Shiva Nishad of Krishan Rakesh & Co., confirmed these results on August 27, 2026.

Key Resolutions Passed

Mr. Ramanuj Murlinarayan Darak retired by rotation as per regulatory requirements. However, his reappointment was not approved by the members. Only 0.04% of votes were cast in favour of his reappointment. The Board appointed M/S. Krishan Rakesh & Co., Chartered Accountants, as Statutory Auditors for a tenure of five consecutive years.

Governance Updates

The most significant corporate action was the change in Mr. Ankan Gupta’s designation from Executive Director to Chairman cum Managing Director.
