REC Limited held its 57th Annual General Meeting on August 25, 2026. The virtual meeting concluded with shareholders approving the adoption of audited financial statements for FY26 and several key board appointments.
The meeting was chaired by Jitendra Srivastava, Chairman & Managing Director. Statutory auditors Kailash Chand Jain & Co. and SCV & Co. LLP provided an unqualified report on the standalone and consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026. The Comptroller & Auditor General of India issued 'Nil' comments on the audited figures.
Board Appointments
Shareholders approved the appointment of several directors during the special business segment. The resolutions included:
- Thangarajan Subash Chandira Bosh as Director (Projects)
- Rajesh Kumar as Director (Finance)
- Rajesh Kumar Agarwal as Nominee Director of Power Finance Corporation Limited
Three independent directors were also appointed via special resolutions: Dr. Anil Kumar Gupta, Dr. Kanchiappan Ghayathri Devi, and Smt. Poonam Chauhan. Shri Shashank Misra was re-appointed as a Government Nominee Director upon retiring by rotation.
Governance Observations
Secretarial auditors noted that the Board composition did not comprise the requisite number of Independent Directors for certain periods during FY26. Management clarified that as a Government Company, director appointments vest with the President of India through the Ministry of Power, limiting the company's direct role in these selections.
Other Business
The Chairman released the company's third ESG report for FY26. Shareholders engaged with management on topics including the proposed merger with Power Finance Corporation Limited, CSR initiatives, and borrowing strategies. The meeting concluded at 12:07 pm.
