Transport Corporation of India Limited secured overwhelming shareholder approval for its FY26 financial results and a final dividend of Re. 1 per equity share at its 31st Annual General Meeting (AGM) on July 30, 2026. The meeting, held via video conferencing, also saw the reappointment of Chander Agarwal and Urmila Agarwal as directors, with both resolutions passing with more than 99.7% support from voting shareholders. This outcome confirms strong promoter backing and institutional confidence in the company’s governance and financial direction.
The consolidated voting results, submitted to the BSE and NSE under Regulation 44 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, reveal high engagement from promoter and institutional investors. Vasanth Kumar Bajaj of V K Bajaj & Associates served as the scrutinizer, confirming compliance with Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 20 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014. Dharmpal Agarwal, Chairman & Managing Director, presided over the proceedings.

Of the 48,610 shareholders on the record date of July 23, 2026, only 85 attended the meeting via video conferencing (11 promoters and 74 public shareholders). However, remote e-voting drove significant participation, with 6,41,53,395 votes polled out of 7,68,31,142 shares held across all resolutions, representing an 83.5% turnout rate. Promoter and Promoter Group shareholders, holding 5,27,49,590 shares, voted unanimously in favor of all resolutions.

Institutional investors also showed strong support, with 100% approval for the financial statements and dividend. Slightly lower margins were recorded for director reappointments due to dissenting votes from a small number of public non-institutional shareholders. Specifically, 1,62,714 institutional votes opposed Chander Agarwal’s reappointment, while 1,04,059 opposed Urmila Agarwal’s.
Governance and Compliance
The statutory audit was conducted by Brahmayya & Co., while Vinod Kothari & Associates served as secretarial auditors. Both reports were unqualified. Hansa Sharma, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, oversaw the process, ensuring that all statutory registers were available for inspection and electronic copies of the annual report were dispatched. The remote e-voting window was open from July 27, 9 AM to July 29, 5 PM. Live e-voting was available during the meeting and for 15 minutes post-conclusion. The votes were unblocked in the presence of two independent witnesses not employed by the company, as per regulatory requirements.
