Shareholders also approved special resolutions to change the company’s name and shift its registered office from Gujarat to West Bengal. Additionally, an ordinary resolution authorized material related-party transactions with Tandhan Power Technologies Private Limited under Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013. A special resolution granted approval under Section 185 for advancing loans, giving guarantees, or providing security.
Voting Dynamics
The voting process was scrutinized by MR & Associates, with Bigshare Services Private Limited facilitating remote e-voting. Out of 1,097 shareholders on the record date of July 10, 2026, only 23 members cast votes electronically. No physical ballot forms were received.
For resolutions where promoters were interested (director appointments and related-party transactions), promoter votes were excluded. In these cases, public non-institutional shareholders holding 3,527,985 shares provided the entire voting base, passing the resolutions with near-unanimous support. For other resolutions, all 19,413,022 shares were eligible to vote, with promoters casting their full stake in favor.
What the Numbers Show
The voting data reveals a distinct bifurcation in shareholder participation based on promoter interest. For the six resolutions where promoters had no conflict of interest, the entire shareholding base of 19.4 million shares voted, with promoters contributing 15.9 million shares. Conversely, for the four interested resolutions, the promoter block of 15.9 million shares was entirely excluded, leaving only 3.5 million shares from public non-institutional investors to determine the outcome. Despite this reduced base, the resolutions passed with over 99% support from the eligible public voters, indicating strong alignment between the promoter-led agenda and the minority shareholder base.
