Ms. Pallavi Joshi Bakhru has resigned as Independent Director effective April 30, 2026. Her resignation is due to her association with Grant Thornton Bharat LLP and the proposed appointment of Walker Chandiok & Co LLP as statutory auditors for Vedanta Group companies—both firms are part of Grant Thornton International. She confirmed no other material reasons for her exit. In replacement, Dr. Aruna Sharma, a retired IAS officer from the 1982 Madhya Pradesh cadre and former Secretary Ministry of Steel, has been appointed as Additional Independent Director for a one-year term from May 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027, subject to shareholder approval.
The board refresh maintains independence compliance but signals a smooth transition with a seasoned ex-bureaucrat. The resignation due to audit firm independence rules suggests no governance concerns beyond regulatory compliance.
