Standard Capital Markets Limited convened its 39th Annual General Meeting on September 29, 2026, where shareholders adopted the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for FY26.
The meeting, held via Video Conferencing and Other Audio Visual Means, saw the approval of most agenda items, including director re-appointments and related party transactions. However, the voting process for the appointment of Krishnan as Managing Director could not be completed due to a technical failure in the electronic voting system.
Key resolutions passed
Shareholders transacted both ordinary and special business items during the session. The ordinary business included the adoption of financial reports and the rotation of directors, all of which were approved with overwhelming majorities.
- Adoption of audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026: Approved with 99.96% of valid votes in favour.
- Re-appointment of Ghanshyam Prasad Gupta (DIN: 00287019) as director retiring by rotation: Approved with 99.84% of valid votes in favour.
- Re-appointment of Krishnan (DIN: 07034128) as director retiring by rotation: Approved with 99.84% of valid votes in favour.
Special business approvals
The special business agenda focused on governance changes and related party dealings. Shareholders approved transactions with specific entities for FY27. However, the resolution regarding the change in designation for one of the key directors was not voted upon effectively.
- Approval of material related party transaction with Titanium Unlisted Assets Private Limited for FY27: Approved with 99.94% of valid votes in favour.
- Approval of material related party transaction with Titanium Holding India Private Limited for FY27: Approved with 99.94% of valid votes in favour.
- Appointment of Krishnan as Managing Director, changing his designation from Executive Director: Voting process failed; no votes recorded.
Voting results summary
The scrutinizer's report, submitted by Nitika G & Associates, detailed the vote counts for each resolution. The promoter group held a significant stake but participated minimally in voting for most items, except where they were interested parties.
| Resolution | Description | Votes in Favour | % in Favour | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Adopt FY26 Financial Statements | 221,135,926 | 99.96% | Passed |

Technical glitch impacts MD appointment
A significant procedural anomaly occurred during the voting on Item No. 6. The scrutinizer's report explicitly stated that "due to a technical glitch in the electronic voting facility, shareholders were unable to cast their votes in respect of Item No. 6." Consequently, no votes were recorded for the appointment of Krishnan as Managing Director, and the resolution was not passed. This contrasts sharply with the high participation rates seen in other resolutions, where over 221 million votes were polled.

The company disclosed attendance figures based on the record date of September 22, 2026. The meeting was conducted digitally in compliance with Ministry of Corporate Affairs and SEBI circulars.
