Announcement under Regulation 30 (LODR)-Change in Management
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
At its 34th AGM held on February 12, 2026, shareholders of the company approved four key items. First, M/s Rajeev Bhambri & Associates, Company Secretaries, were appointed as Secretarial Auditors for a 5-year term (FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30), effective January 6, 2026. Second, the company formally changed its name from 'RCI Industries & Technologies Limited' to 'JTL Defence Limited', with a corresponding update to the Name Clause of its MOA. Third, new Articles of Association were adopted (Table F of Schedule I of the Companies Act, 2013), replacing the existing AOA. Lastly, the Object Clause of the MOA was altered, likely to reflect the company's pivot toward the defence sector.
The name change and altered object clause signal a strategic shift into the defence business under the new JTL Defence identity, which could be positive for long-term positioning if the pivot gains traction. The appointment of a reputed secretarial auditor for a long term is routine and reflects good governance compliance.
