Paramount Communications held its 32nd Annual General Meeting on September 26, 2026, where shareholders approved all proposed resolutions. The meeting was conducted through Video Conferencing and Other Audio-Visual Means.
The company submitted the Consolidated Scrutinizer's Report to BSE and NSE under Regulation 44 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The report confirmed that remote e-voting facilities were available from September 23 to September 26, 2026. Shareholders holding shares as of the cut-off date, September 19, 2026, were eligible to vote.
Voting results on key resolutions
The scrutinizer, CS Abhishek Mittal of Abhishek Mittal & Associates, certified the voting process. The table below summarizes the outcome for the three ordinary resolutions passed during the meeting.
| Resolution | Votes in Favour | % of Valid Votes | Votes Against | % of Valid Votes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adoption of FY26 Financial Statements | 17,04,13,479 | 99.99% | 28,309 | 0.01% |
| Re-appointment of Sandeep Aggarwal | 2,03,00,798 | 99.86% | 28,309 | 0.14% |

What the Numbers Show
A significant divergence appears in shareholder participation across the agenda items. For the adoption of financial statements and cost auditor remuneration, nearly 17.04 crore votes were cast as valid. However, for the re-appointment of director Sandeep Aggarwal, valid votes dropped sharply to 2.03 crore, with approximately 15.01 crore votes recorded as invalid or abstained. This suggests that a large portion of the voting base did not actively participate in or invalidated their vote for the specific director re-election resolution, despite high engagement on other items.
