Ramkrishna Forgings Limited held its 44th Annual General Meeting on August 29, 2026. The gathering focused on governance approvals rather than new financial disclosures.

The meeting was conducted via video conferencing in compliance with Ministry of Corporate Affairs and SEBI regulations. Eighty members attended the session, which commenced at 11:30 am and concluded at 12:20 pm. Mr. Naresh Jalan served as Chairman for most resolutions, while Mr. Chetan Rameshchandra Desai chaired items where Jalan had a conflict of interest.

Governance Approvals

Shareholders passed several ordinary and special resolutions during the proceedings. Key outcomes included:

• Adoption of audited consolidated financial statements for FY26.
• Reappointment of Chaitanya Jalan and Miles Gandhi as directors by rotation.
• Ratification of cost auditor remuneration for FY27.

Leadership Changes

The company secured approval for the reappointment of Mr. Naresh Jalan as Managing Director for a three-year term from November 5, 2026, to November 4, 2029. Additionally, members approved changing the designation of Mr. Chaitanya Jalan from Whole Time Director to Joint Managing Director.

What the Numbers Show

The source document confirms the adoption of FY26 financial statements but does not disclose specific revenue or profit figures within the proceeding summary. The focus remains strictly on corporate governance actions and leadership continuity rather than operational performance metrics.

Ramkrishna Forgings has issued a postal ballot notice seeking shareholder approval for the reclassification of Maa Chandi Financial Advisory Services Private Limited (formerly Ramkrishna Rail and Infrastructure Private Limited) from the 'Promoter and Promoter Group' category to the 'Public' category. The move aims to adjust the company's shareholding pattern in compliance with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) listing regulations.

The outgoing promoter entity holds 65,00,000 equity shares of face value ₹2 each, representing 3.57% of the total paid-up equity share capital as on the cut-off date of August 14, 2026. On a fully diluted basis, this holding constitutes 3.49% of the equity share capital. The Board of Directors approved the reclassification request during its meeting on November 12, 2025, after verifying that the entity meets all conditions specified under Regulation 31A of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Regulatory Approvals and Voting Process

The company received no-objection letters from both BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited on August 5, 2026. In compliance with regulatory requirements, the postal ballot notice was dispatched electronically on August 20, 2026, to all members registered with the company or depository participants as on the cut-off date.

Remote e-voting for the resolution will commence on August 21, 2026, at 9:00 am and conclude on September 19, 2026, at 5:00 pm. KFin Technologies Limited has been engaged to facilitate the e-voting process. The results of the postal ballot are expected to be declared by September 22, 2026. Notably, the outgoing promoter and persons related to it are prohibited from voting on this resolution under Regulation 31A(3)(a)(vi) of the SEBI LODR Regulations.

Shareholding Pattern Impact

The reclassification will alter the company's shareholding structure without changing the total number of outstanding shares. The promoter group's holding will decrease, while the public shareholding will increase accordingly.

Note: Percentages are based on total paid-up equity share capital. Fully diluted figures include 34,00,000 warrants held by promoters and 3,13,632 outstanding ESOPs.

What the Numbers Show

The reclassification reduces the promoter group's consolidated stake from 43.39% to 39.82%, while boosting public holding from 56.41% to 59.98%. This shift ensures a broader distribution of ownership among the public, aligning with SEBI's requirements for enhanced market liquidity and transparency. The outgoing promoter has confirmed it does not exercise control over the company's affairs, hold special rights, or have representation on the board, satisfying the criteria for public categorization.

Related Party Disclosures

As per Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013, certain promoters and directors hold interests in the outgoing promoter entity. Riddhi Portfolio Private Limited holds the largest stake in the outgoing promoter with 11.72% in equity share capital and 78.41% in non-convertible preference share capital. Other interested parties include Naresh Jalan (Managing Director), Chaitanya Jalan (Whole Time Director), and Rashmi Jalan, who hold varying percentages in the equity and preference shares of Maa Chandi Financial Advisory Services Private Limited.
