The Board of Directors had initially approved the proposal for the issue of warrants to promoters and non-promoters on March 11, 2026. Subsequently, the shareholders approved the issue through a postal ballot on April 22, 2026. The company received the In-Principle Approval from the NSE on May 6, 2026, vide letter Ref.
