Auditor Transition Details
M/s TRS & Associates, bearing Firm Registration Number (FRN) 141126W, will assume the role of statutory auditor immediately upon approval. This replaces M/s S. L. Patel & Co., Chartered Accountants (FRN: 119211W), who resigned from the position. The company did not disclose specific reasons for the resignation of the outgoing auditors in the filing, nor did it detail the tenure or fee structure for the incoming firm beyond the standard appointment resolution.
The e-voting facility was provided by Bigshare Services Private Limited, which assigned EVSN 1173 for this process.

What the Numbers Show
The near-unanimous support for the auditor appointment suggests no significant controversy surrounding the transition. With promoters casting all their polled votes in favor and public shareholders showing 99.9997% support, the governance risk associated with auditor changes appears minimal. The low voter turnout of 53.88% is typical for postal ballots but highlights that less than half of the total shareholding actively participated in this governance decision.
