Benares Hotels Limited (part of the Taj group, operating Taj Ganges in Varanasi) held its 54th Annual General Meeting on August 12, 2025 via video conferencing from 3:00 p.m. to 4:05 p.m. All four ordinary resolutions were passed with overwhelming shareholder approval. Resolution 1 (adoption of FY25 audited financial statements) passed with 760,655 votes (100%) in favour, and Resolution 2 (declaration of dividend for FY ending March 31, 2025) passed with 760,744 votes (100%) in favour. Resolution 3 (re-appointment of Mr. Beejal Desai as rotating director) and Resolution 4 (appointment of Secretarial Auditors) each passed with 760,740 votes in favour and just 4 dissenting votes (99.9995%). Out of 1,300,000 total outstanding shares, roughly 58.5% were voted, with 7,124 shareholders on record and 46 shareholders attending via VC. The Chairman described FY 2024-25 as a 'landmark year' with strong financial performance, noted that Taj was once again rated India's Strongest Brand, and paid tribute to the late Ratan N Tata.
Routine procedural filing — all resolutions including the FY25 dividend were approved with near-unanimous support, suggesting smooth governance and likely confirmation of the dividend for shareholders. The strong attendance and high approval margins indicate no significant shareholder dissent on key matters.
