What the numbers show
A striking pattern emerges when comparing the voting turnout against the total shareholding structure. While the company had 15,51,68,000 outstanding shares, only 46,76,640 votes were polled across all categories. This represents a mere 3.01% of the total outstanding shares participating in the vote. Furthermore, the entire voting power exercised came from "Public-Non Institutions," as both Promoter Group and Public-Institutions recorded zero votes. This indicates that the decision-making authority for this preferential issue rested entirely with a small fraction of retail public shareholders.
