The Board of Directors sought member consent for these appointments during its meeting held on June 11, 2026, citing compliance with Sections 108 and 110 of the Companies Act, 2013, and Regulation 44 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Manish Maheshwari, a practicing company secretary based in Indore, was appointed as the scrutinizer to ensure a fair and transparent voting process. Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) facilitated the remote e-voting platform for eligible members whose names appeared in the register as of the cut-off date, May 29, 2026.
The voting window opened on June 13, 2026, at 9:00 A.M. IST and closed on July 12, 2026, at 5:00 P.M. IST. Both independent director re-appointments received identical voting outcomes, reflecting strong shareholder confidence in the board’s composition.
