Announcement under Regulation 30 (LODR)-Amendments to Memorandum & Articles of Association
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Shareholders of the company approved four key items at the 34th AGM held on February 12, 2026. First, the company's name has been officially changed from 'RCI Industries & Technologies Limited' to 'JTL Defence Limited', reflecting a likely strategic focus on the defence sector. Second, M/s Rajeev Bhambri & Associates, a peer-reviewed firm of Company Secretaries with 35 years of experience, has been appointed as Secretarial Auditors for a 5-year term covering FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30. Third, the company adopted Table F of Schedule I of the Companies Act, 2013 as its new set of Articles of Association, replacing the existing ones. Lastly, the Object Clause of the Memorandum of Association was altered, presumably to align with the company's new defence-focused business direction.
The renaming to 'JTL Defence' signals a clear strategic pivot toward the defence sector, which may shape how investors perceive the company's future growth prospects. The MOA and AOA changes are housekeeping steps required to formally support this new business identity, while the long-term secretarial auditor appointment adds governance continuity.
