Mr. Prem Narain Varshney resigned as Managing Director of Rathi Steel & Power Ltd effective May 9, 2025, citing health and medical issues as the reason. In the same board meeting, Mr. Mahesh Pareek was appointed as the new Managing Director (Additional Director) for a 5-year term, bringing around 40 years of industry experience across marketing, accounts, secretarial work, and strategic planning. Additionally, Ms. Surbhi Pareek was redesignated from Independent Director to Non-Executive Non-Independent Director due to a change in her independence status. The resignation and appointments are subject to shareholder approval.
The MD transition appears orderly with an experienced replacement already in place, though the outgoing MD's health-related exit may raise minor governance questions. Shareholders should note the family connection between incoming MD Mr. Mahesh Pareek and existing director Ms. Surbhi Pareek (uncle-niece), which results in a related-party board composition.
