Rama Petrochemicals Limited has scheduled its 40th Annual General Meeting for August 6, 2026, to seek shareholder approval for a significant increase in its borrowing and investment powers. The meeting, to be held through video conferencing, will propose a special resolution to authorize the Board to grant loans, provide guarantees, and make investments up to an aggregate limit of ₹300 Crores. This limit is sought over and above the existing statutory cap of 60% of the paid-up share capital and free reserves or 100% of free reserves and securities premium, whichever is higher.

The Board recommends the resolution to support the company's business plans, which require sizeable loans, investments, and guarantees to be made from time to time. The company stated that none of the Directors or Key Managerial Personnel are financially interested in this resolution, other than their shareholding in the company.

Related Party Transactions

Shareholders will also vote on an ordinary resolution to approve material related party transactions for the financial year 2026-27. The company proposes to enter into transactions with four promoter group entities—Rama Phosphates Limited, Rama Industries Limited, Blue Lagoon Investments Private Limited, and Trishul Mercantile Private Limited—for an aggregate value not exceeding ₹31 Crores. These transactions involve the sale, purchase, or supply of goods and materials, as well as unsecured loans and advances.

The transactions are proposed to be conducted on an arm's length basis and in the ordinary course of business. Promoters Mr. Haresh D. Ramsinghani and Mrs. Nilanjana H. Ramsinghani, along with their relatives, are interested in these resolutions and will abstain from voting.

The AGM will also transact ordinary business, including the adoption of the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026. Additionally, Mrs. Nilanjana H. Ramsinghani, who retires by rotation, is proposed for re-appointment as a Director.

The remote e-voting period will begin on August 3, 2026, at 9.00 a.m. and end on August 5, 2026, at 5.00 p.m. The record date for determining shareholder eligibility is July 30, 2026. The facility for appointing proxies will not be available as the meeting is conducted via virtual mode.
