Voting Results Overview

The promoter group, which holds 655,284,311 shares, cast votes in favor of all resolutions except the related-party transaction with State Bank of India, where they abstained as required by regulation. Public institutional investors also voted unanimously in favor of all items. Retail participation remained minimal but supportive.

Key Resolutions Passed

Adoption of Financial Statements

Shareholders considered and adopted the audited financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. This included the reports of the Board of Directors and Auditors, along with comments from the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG). No promoters were interested in this resolution.

Auditor Remuneration

The Board was authorized to fix the remuneration or fees of the Statutory Auditors for FY27. These auditors are appointed by the CAG. The resolution received unanimous support from voting shareholders.

Interim Dividend

The meeting confirmed the payment of an interim dividend of ₹2.50 per equity share of face value ₹10 each for FY26. This represents a dividend payout of 25%. The Board had previously declared this amount, and shareholders ratified it during the AGM.

Related-Party Transactions

The final resolution involved the approval of material related-party transactions with State Bank of India. As per regulatory norms, the promoter group abstained from voting on this item. The resolution was passed by public shareholders, with public institutions casting 237,955,925 votes in favor. Public non-institutional shareholders voted 23,604 in favor and 2,133 against.

What the Numbers Show

The voting data highlights a distinct divergence in engagement between institutional and retail shareholders. While the promoter group and public institutions showed near-total alignment with management proposals (100% approval rates), public non-institutional shareholders exhibited slightly higher dissent. Approximately 8% of votes cast by non-institutional public shareholders were against the resolutions, particularly regarding the auditor remuneration and related-party transactions. However, given their small shareholding base (37,051,393 shares), this dissent did not impact the passage of any resolutions.
