Key Resolutions for Shareholder Approval
The company has proposed three resolutions for shareholder consideration through the postal ballot process:
| Resolution | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Cost Auditor Ratification | Ordinary Resolution | Ratification of remuneration for FY 2025-26 |
| MOA Amendment | Special Resolution | Alteration of Main Objects Clause III(A) |
| Director Re-appointment | Special Resolution | Re-appointment of Dr. Pawan Goenka as Independent Director |
Cost Auditor Remuneration Details
The first resolution seeks ratification of the remuneration payable to M/s. Narasimha Murthy & Co., Cost Accountants (Firm Registration No. 000042), who have been appointed as Cost Auditors for the financial year 2025-26. The proposed remuneration stands at ₹31,26,000 per annum plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses and applicable taxes. This ratification is required under Section 148(3) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014.
Memorandum of Association Amendment for Renewable Energy
The second resolution proposes to amend the company's Memorandum of Association by inserting a new Clause (1B) under Clause III (A) – Main Objects. This amendment will enable the company to undertake power generation activities through various renewable energy sources including hydro, solar, nuclear, and other non-conventional energy sources. The proposed change aligns with the company's sustainability goals and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, allowing it to establish captive power plants and potentially sell surplus power to the grid.
