Ramkumar Babulal Panjari, Executive Director and CFO, retires by rotation and seeks reappointment.
Material Related Party Transactions
The company seeks approval for recurring transactions with three related entities, exceeding the materiality threshold under Regulation 23 of the SEBI Listing Regulations. These transactions are conducted at arm’s length and are essential for operational continuity.
| Related Party | Proposed Limit (FY26-27) | Nature of Transaction | Interest Disclosure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amar Food Products | ₹15 crore | Purchase/sale of goods/services | MD & ED are partners |
| Amarsagar Seafoods Pvt Ltd | ₹15 crore | Purchase/sale of goods/services | MD & ED are members |
| Pesca Marine Products Pvt Ltd | ₹3 crore | Purchase/sale of goods/services | MD & ED are members |
Rajeshkumar Babulal Panjari and Ramkumar Babulal Panjari, who are brothers, are interested parties in these resolutions and will abstain from voting. The Audit Committee has reviewed and approved these transactions, confirming they are in the ordinary course of business.
Financial Performance and Auditor Remuneration
Vistar Amar’s financial results show a recovery trajectory. Total income rose to ₹158.62 million in FY2025-26 from ₹27.11 million in FY2024-25. The company approved remuneration of ₹4 lakh for its statutory auditors, S A R A & Associates, for FY2026-27. The CSR obligation remains below ₹50 lakh, allowing the Board to discharge CSR functions directly without a separate committee.
