Proposed Resolutions and Implications
Resolution 1: Appointment of Mr. Karan Bhatia as Independent Director
The company seeks approval for the appointment of Mr. Karan Bhatia (DIN: 11633574) as Non-Executive Independent Director for a term of five consecutive years from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2031. He was initially appointed as Additional Director by the Board on 1st April 2026 based on recommendations of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Mr. Bhatia has submitted a declaration of independence under Section 149(6) of the Companies Act and Regulation 16(1)(b) of SEBI Listing Regulations. He will be entitled to sitting fees for board meetings and committee meetings, plus commission as determined by the Board within shareholder-approved limits.
Resolution 2: Alteration of Memorandum of Association Object Clause
The company proposes to expand its business scope by adding Clause 3A in Clause III A of the Object clause of the MOA to include "the business of transmitting, manufacturing, supplying, generating, distributing and dealing in electricity and all forms of energy and power generated by any source whether nuclear, steam, hydro or tidal, water, wind, solar, hydrocarbon fuel or any other form, kind or description for captive use or for business purpose." This expansion aligns with the company's establishment of a solar power plant for captive use and its strategy to grow in the power generation segment. The alteration requires approval of the Registrar of Companies and other applicable authorities.
