Shareholders of Vellora Impact Limited have rejected both resolutions proposed in its recent postal ballot, including a special resolution to rescind a previous capital increase.
The company, formerly known as Pratiksha Chemicals Limited, disclosed the voting results on September 5, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 44 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The postal ballot process concluded on September 4, 2026.
Voting Outcome
Two resolutions were put before the members for approval via remote e-voting. Neither resolution secured the requisite majority to pass.
Resolution 1: Rescinding Previous Capital Increase
This special resolution sought to rescind an ordinary resolution passed at the Extra Ordinary General Meeting held on February 20, 2026, which had increased the authorised share capital and altered Clause V of the Memorandum of Association.
| Category | Votes Polled | In Favour | Against | % In Favour | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Public-Non Institutions | 12,1915 | 4,8210 | 7,3705 | 39.54% | Not Passed |
| Promoters/Institutions | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.00% | Not Passed |
Only public non-institutional shareholders cast votes for this resolution. Promoters and institutional investors did not participate in the voting process.
Resolution 2: Increase in Authorised Share Capital
The second resolution was an ordinary resolution proposing an increase in authorised share capital and a consequent amendment to Clause V of the Memorandum of Association.
| Category | Votes Polled | In Favour | Against | % In Favour | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Public-Non Institutions | 12,1915 | 4,8185 | 7,3730 | 39.52% | Not Passed |
| Promoters/Institutions | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.00% | Not Passed |
Similar to the first resolution, voting participation was limited to public non-institutional shareholders. The promoter group, holding 17,4029 shares as on the record date, abstained from voting on both agendas.
Scrutinizer Report
A. Shubhangi & Associates, Practising Company Secretaries, served as the scrutinizer for the postal ballot. The firm confirmed that the remote e-voting facility was provided by NSDL and remained open from August 6, 2026, at 9:00 am until September 4, 2026, at 5:00 pm.
The scrutinizer’s report noted that no invalid votes were recorded across any shareholder category. The total number of shareholders on the record date of July 31, 2026, stood at 6,925.
What the Numbers Show
The rejection of both resolutions highlights a significant divergence between promoter interest and public shareholder sentiment. While the promoter group held approximately 31% of the outstanding shares (17,4029 out of 55,70340 total shares), their complete absence from the voting process left the outcome entirely dependent on retail and non-institutional investors. With only 2.18% of outstanding shares polled, the low participation rate suggests limited engagement among the broader shareholder base regarding these structural capital changes.

How will the failure to rescind the previous capital increase impact Vellora Impact Limited's immediate ability to raise funds or execute planned strategic expansions?
What steps might the promoter group take to re-engage with public shareholders and address the concerns that led to the 60% rejection rate in this ballot?
Could the low voting participation rate (2.18%) trigger regulatory scrutiny from SEBI regarding corporate governance practices or shareholder communication strategies?
