Mitsu Chem Plast shareholders approved a substantial increase in the company's borrowing capacity and a comprehensive restructuring of its top management during its 38th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on July 31, 2026. The Mumbai-based plastics manufacturer secured unanimous or near-unanimous support for all 12 resolutions, signaling strong backing for its strategic financial and governance shifts. The approval to raise borrowing limits from ₹200 crores to ₹500 crores provides the company with greater financial flexibility for future expansion and working capital needs.

Of these, 6 promoters and 38 public shareholders attended through video conferencing.

Board Restructuring and Appointments
A significant portion of the agenda focused on reshuffling the leadership team. Jagdish Liladhar Dedhia, who retires by rotation, was reappointed but with a change in designation from Chairman & Whole Time Director to Non-Executive (Non-Independent) Chairman. His remuneration for FY27-28 was also approved. Concurrently, Sanjay Mavji Dedhia’s role evolved from Managing Director to Executive Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, accompanied by an increase in remuneration. Manish Mavji Dedhia saw a variation in his term of appointment as Managing Director and CFO, along with remuneration adjustments.
New faces were also added to the board. Ajit Eledath Venugopalan was appointed as an Independent Director, while Hasmukh Bhavanji Dedhia was re-appointed to the same position. Pankaj Janardan Gharat was appointed as an Executive Director (Non-Independent). These appointments were passed as special resolutions, requiring higher thresholds for approval.
Financial Resolutions and Voting Details
Beyond governance changes, shareholders approved the adoption of financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, and the declaration of a final dividend.

What the Numbers Show
The voting data reveals distinct patterns in shareholder engagement based on the nature of the resolution. Routine matters such as the adoption of financial statements and the increase in borrowing limits received near-total support, with over 9.6 million votes cast in favor and zero or minimal dissent. This indicates broad consensus on the company's financial direction and operational stability.
However, resolutions involving specific executive designations and remuneration—particularly those affecting promoter-group members like Jagdish Liladhar Dedhia and Sanjay Mavji Dedhia—saw significantly lower turnout in terms of votes polled relative to total shares held. For instance, only approximately 5.9 million votes were polled for Jagdish Liladhar Dedhia’s designation change, despite the promoter group holding over 9.2 million shares. This suggests that while the promoter group supported these moves (as indicated by their voting records), a portion of the public shareholder base may have abstained or not voted on these specific special resolutions, possibly due to the complexity of the changes or lack of direct material impact on their immediate returns.
