Director Resignation: Ms. Arati Saran, Non-Independent Non-Executive Director, resigned w.e.f. October 23, 2026
Committee Membership Ceased: Ceased to be a member of the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee with immediate effect
Reason for Resignation: Personal reasons

Ms. Arati Saran, a Non-Independent Non-Executive Director of Hindustan Hardy Ltd, has resigned with effect from October 23, 2026.
The company states that she has accordingly ceased to be a Director of the company with immediate effect.
As a consequence of the resignation, she has also ceased to be a member of the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee of the company with immediate effect.

The resignation letter is dated October 23, 2026 and is addressed to the Chairman and Managing Director.
The reason she gives is personal: she writes that for personal reasons she will no longer be able to continue to serve on the board, and wishes to resign her directorship with immediate effect.
She records her admiration for the work being done at the company and wishes it success in the years ahead.
She asks the company to take the necessary steps to give effect to the resignation and to intimate her accordingly, and says her digital signature may be affixed on the relevant forms to be shared with the MCA.

This is a board and management change intimation, not a financial or operational update. It does not change the company's products, plants or business activities by itself.
A Non-Executive Director is part of the board that oversees management; such a director is not part of the day-to-day executive running of the company.
The Corporate Social Responsibility Committee is the board committee that oversees the company's CSR spend and activities. One member stepping off that committee changes its composition.

Director resignations are disclosed because the board's composition matters to shareholders, who rely on the board to supervise management.
The stated reason here is personal. That is the explanation on record in the resignation letter.
What shareholders typically track after such an intimation is who is appointed in place of the outgoing director and how the board and its committees are re-constituted. That is the next step to watch for.

Ms. Arati Saran (DIN: 01157284) - Non-Independent Non-Executive Director, resigned w.e.f. October 23, 2026.
The letter is addressed to the Chairman and Managing Director of Hindustan Hardy Ltd.
The update is signed by Sunita Nisal, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer.
