The appointment of T R Chadha & Co. LLP is effective from the conclusion of the 19th AGM until the conclusion of the 24th AGM. The firm, established in May 1946, brings over seven decades of expertise in audit, tax, risk, and advisory domains. The resolution regarding the re-appointment of Chairman Rajiv Rattan, who was liable to retire by rotation, received support from both promoter and public shareholders.
Shareholder participation details
The scrutinizer's report detailed the participation levels across different shareholder categories. For the adoption of financial statements, promoters voted in favor of the resolution with 100% of their shares polled. Public institutional shareholders also voted unanimously in favor. Public non-institutional shareholders showed slight dissent on certain items, such as the re-appointment of directors and auditor appointments, but the overall majority remained secure.
For the appointment of Dhruv Rattan Nashier as Vice President, a significant portion of promoter shares abstained from voting or were not polled, while institutional investors voted overwhelmingly against the resolution. Despite this, the resolution passed due to the high concentration of promoter votes in favor relative to the total votes cast for that specific item.
The results were declared in compliance with Regulation 44(3) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, ensuring transparency in the corporate governance process.
