Suvidha Infraestate Corporation has appointed Haresh Jagdishbhai Assanani as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective July 24, 2026, replacing Abhijeet A. Goswami who resigned from the role due to pre-occupation and personal commitments. Goswami continues in his capacity as a Non-Executive Director. Simultaneously, the Board noted the resignation of Independent Director Hemang S. Yagnesh, effective July 24, 2026, citing pre-occupation elsewhere. The company confirmed that its independent director requirements remain fulfilled without immediate replacement, avoiding regulatory urgency for a new appointment.
The changes were approved during a Board meeting held on July 24, 2026, which also convened the 34th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 19, 2026. The AGM will be conducted via Video Conferencing/Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM) in compliance with the Companies Act, 2013, MCA Circular No. 03/2025 dated September 22, 2025, and SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Shareholders will approve the appointment of Secretarial Auditors during this meeting.
Key Appointments and Resignations
The Board acted on recommendations from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC) and the Audit Committee. Haresh J. Assanani, who holds CA Intermediate and CFA Level 1 credentials with over 15 years of experience in financial strategy, assumed the CFO role immediately. Additionally, the Board approved the engagement of M/s. Kashyap R. Mehta & Partners, Practising Company Secretaries, as Secretarial Auditors for a term of five consecutive years, spanning financial years 2026-27 to 2030-31, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.

Committee Reconstitution
Following the departures and appointments, the Board reconstituted its statutory committees effective July 24, 2026. Ms. Parul K. Gajjar serves as Chairperson for the Audit, Nomination & Remuneration, and Stakeholders Relationship Committees. Mr. Dharmendra Champaneri is a member across all three committees. Mr. Kishore K. Goswami, Managing Director, serves as a member of the Audit and Stakeholders Relationship Committees, while Mr. Abhijeet A. Goswami joins the Nomination & Remuneration Committee as a member.
What the Numbers Show
The simultaneous resignation of the CFO and an Independent Director, coupled with the immediate appointment of a new CFO, indicates a targeted leadership refresh rather than a broader governance crisis. The retention of Abhijeet A. Goswami as a Non-Executive Director suggests continuity in strategic oversight despite his exit from day-to-day financial operations. The company’s confirmation that independent director quotas remain met avoids the regulatory urgency typically associated with such vacancies, allowing for a measured approach to any future board composition adjustments.
