SSPDL Limited has disclosed the voting results of its 32nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on September 29, 2026. All three agenda items, including the adoption of FY26 financial statements and the re-appointment of director E. Bhaskar Rao, were approved by shareholders with the requisite majority.
The meeting, conducted via Video Conferencing, saw participation from 26 members representing a total of 65,45,688 votes polled out of 1,29,29,250 outstanding shares. The scrutinizer's report, submitted by CS Savita Jyoti of Savita Jyoti Associates, confirmed that no resolution was defeated.
Voting breakdown on key resolutions
The voting data reveals a distinct pattern in shareholder sentiment across the three agenda items. While the adoption of financial statements and director re-appointment received overwhelming support from promoters, the approval for a related-party loan facility faced significant dissent from public shareholders.
| Agenda Item | Resolution Type | Votes In Favour (%) | Votes Against (%) | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adoption of FY26 Financial Statements | Ordinary | 95.23% | 4.77% | Passed |
| Re-appointment of E. Bhaskar Rao | Ordinary | 95.23% | 4.77% | Passed |
| Revolving loan from Prakash Challa (RPT) | Ordinary | 54.88% | 45.12% | Passed |
For the first two items, promoter and promoter group shareholders cast 56,68,642 votes in favour, constituting 81.34% of their holding. Public non-institutional shareholders contributed an additional 5,65,021 votes in favour for the financials and 5,64,941 votes for the director re-appointment.
However, the third item, which involved approving a revolving loan facility from Chairman and Managing Director Prakash Challa, was classified as a material related party transaction. Consequently, promoter group shareholders abstained from voting on this item as per regulatory norms. The resolution was carried solely by public shareholders, with 3,79,609 votes in favour against 3,12,105 votes against.
