Refex Renewables Infrastructure Limited shareholders have officially rejected the company's proposal to change its name to Ecosphere Sustainable Energy Limited, according to postal ballot results concluded on December 11, 2025. The company also reported continued financial losses for Q2 FY2026.

Postal Ballot Results

The postal ballot process, which concluded on December 11, 2025 at 5:00 PM IST, saw shareholders voting against the proposed name change from "Refex Renewables & Infrastructure Limited" to "Ecosphere Sustainable Energy Limited." Scrutinizer A. Mohan Kumar confirmed the results in his report dated December 12, 2025.

As per regulatory requirements under the Companies Act, 2013, the special resolution failed because the number of votes cast in favor was less than three times the number of votes cast against. The resolution stands disapproved and is deemed not passed.

Financial Performance Challenges

For Q2 FY2026, Refex Renewables Infrastructure reported deteriorating financial performance:

The half-year performance showed similar trends:

Going Concern Issues

The company's management noted that Refex Renewables Infrastructure has incurred losses in the current quarter, and its net worth has been completely eroded. This raises substantial doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. However, management is pursuing new business opportunities and has obtained a letter of support from a promoter shareholder to continue operations.

Corporate Actions Continue

Despite the name change rejection, the company continues with other strategic initiatives. The company allotted 1,381 equity shares under its Employee Stock Option Scheme, increasing the paid-up capital to ₹4.50 crores. Additionally, subsidiary Refex Green Power Limited divested its 74% stake in Flaunt Solar Energy Private Limited, while another subsidiary, Refex Sustainability Solutions Limited, acquired a 72.05% stake in Spectrum Renewable Energy Private Limited.

The rejection of the name change proposal indicates shareholder resistance to the company's proposed shift towards a more comprehensive sustainable energy identity, while the company continues to face significant financial challenges.

Refex Renewables Infrastructure (RRIL) has disclosed that its step-down subsidiary, Sherisha Solar LLP (SS LLP), is facing an insolvency petition filed by SILRES Energy Solutions Private Limited. The petition, filed under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, alleges a payment default of ₹34.24 crore.

Key Details of the Insolvency Petition

Company's Response

RRIL has informed that SS LLP, which is indirectly wholly-owned through Refex Green Power Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of RRIL), intends to "vigorously contest" the petition. This stance suggests that the company disputes the claims made in the insolvency application.

Potential Implications

The filing of an insolvency petition against a step-down subsidiary could have significant implications for Refex Renewables Infrastructure Limited. If the petition is admitted and proceeds to insolvency resolution, it may impact the financial structure and operations of the broader Refex group.

Disclosure Compliance

RRIL's prompt disclosure of this development aligns with Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This transparency allows investors and stakeholders to stay informed about material events that could affect the company's operations and financial health.

As the situation unfolds, stakeholders will likely be watching closely for updates on the proceedings at the National Company Law Tribunal and any potential resolutions between SS LLP and SILRES Energy Solutions Private Limited.
