A special resolution seeks the re-appointment of Mr P R Ramesh (DIN: 01915274) as Independent Director for a second 5-year term from 1st July, 2026 to 30th June, 2031, including continuation beyond age 75.

This is a routine governance announcement representing a planned leadership succession.

The leadership transition has been flagged as part of structured succession planning, which is generally viewed positively by investors. Stock price impact is expected to be neutral.
