wires & fabriks has authorized specific Key Managerial Personnel (KMPs) to determine the materiality of events and make mandatory disclosures to stock exchanges, a move that streamlines its compliance workflow under SEBI regulations. The authorization becomes effective on August 14, 2026, allowing designated executives to act swiftly in disclosing price-sensitive information without requiring prior board approval for every instance, provided the information meets the materiality threshold defined by the regulations.
The company filed the disclosure with BSE Limited on August 11, 2026, citing Regulation 30(5) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This regulatory provision permits listed entities to delegate the responsibility of assessing materiality and making disclosures to KMPs, thereby enhancing operational efficiency while maintaining regulatory compliance. The filing was signed by Bishwajit Singh, the Company Secretary.
Two executives have been granted this authority:

| 2 | Pramod Agarwal | Chief Financial Officer |

Regulatory Context
Regulation 30 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, mandates immediate public disclosure of price-sensitive information. Sub-regulation (5) specifically allows the Board of Directors to authorize KMPs to determine whether an event or information is material and to make the necessary disclosures to the stock exchanges. This delegation is common among listed companies to ensure timely compliance with market disclosure norms.
By formalizing this authorization, Wires & Fabriks ensures that its governance structure aligns with SEBI’s expectations for transparency and timely communication with investors. The company, known for manufacturing paper machine clothing, continues to maintain its ISO 9001:2015 certification, reflecting its commitment to quality management systems alongside regulatory adherence.
