Secretarial Auditor

• M/s Akash & Co., Practicing Company Secretaries, has been appointed as Secretarial Auditor of the Company.
• The appointment is for five consecutive years, i.e. from financial year 2026-27 to financial year 2030-31.
• The appointment was made on the recommendation of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
• Mr. Akash Goel, proprietor of M/s Akash & Co., Company Secretaries, is a member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India with more than 7 years of experience in various laws including corporate laws and secretarial matters.

Independent Director

• Mr. Pankaj Bansal (DIN-10394872) has been appointed and regularised as an Independent Director of the Company.
• The approval was by way of a Special Resolution passed with requisite majority.
• The term is five (5) consecutive years, effective from the date of his initial appointment by the Board.

How the process moved

• The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on September 04, 2026, recommended the appointment of M/s Akash & Co. as Secretarial Auditor, subject to the approval of the members.
• The members subsequently approved that appointment at the 33rd AGM held on September 30, 2026.
• The details required for the Secretarial Auditor appointment were enclosed with the update as Annexure I.

What this means for investors

• A Secretarial Auditor examines the Company's secretarial and compliance records; this appointment carries a five-year term running from financial year 2026-27 to financial year 2030-31.
• An Independent Director is a board member who is not part of the promoter group or the management, and is expected to bring an outside view to board decisions.
• The Independent Director appointment was approved as a Special Resolution, which needs a higher level of shareholder support than an ordinary resolution.

Both changes are appointments at the board and auditor level, approved by the shareholders at the AGM.
