solar industries shareholders approved a final dividend of ₹11 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, during the company’s 31st Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on August 11, 2026. The meeting also saw the reappointment of Milind Deshmukh as a Whole-time Director. While the special resolution for the appointment of Reena Jha Tripathi as an Independent Director did not secure the requisite majority, she was deemed appointed under Regulation 25(2A) of the SEBI Listing Regulations. The special resolution seeking approval for alterations to the Articles of Association (AOA) failed.

The AGM commenced at 11:30 am and concluded at 12:40 pm, conducted via Video Conference/Other Audio Visual Means (VC/OAVM). Satyanarayan Nuwal, Chairman and Non-executive Director, chaired the proceedings. As on the record date of August 4, 2026, the company had 1,18,272 shareholders. A total of 65 shareholders participated in the meeting via video conference, comprising three from the promoter group and 62 from the public category. No shareholders attended in person or through proxies.

Voting Results and Resolutions

Remote e-voting was facilitated through National Securities Depositories Limited (NSDL), commencing on August 8, 2026, at 9:00 am and ending on August 10, 2026, at 5:00 pm. Tushar Pahade of T S Pahade & Associates served as the scrutinizer. Of the 90,490,055 shares held by shareholders on the record date, approximately 93.2% were polled across various resolutions.

The promoter group, holding 66,191,271 shares, voted uniformly against all resolutions, casting 60% of their votes in favor of none. In contrast, public institutional holders showed strong support for most agenda items, particularly the dividend declaration and cost auditor ratification, where they voted unanimously in favor.

Note: The resolution failed to get the requisite majority but was deemed passed under SEBI Regulation 25(2A) as votes in favor exceeded votes against, and public shareholder support outweighed opposition.
