Kritika Wires' board, at its 30 July 2025 meeting, accepted the resignations of two Non-Executive Independent Directors — Mr. Shiv Kumar Saraff (health and personal reasons) and Mr. Niraj Jindal (other preoccupations) — both effective the same day. The board also approved Q1 FY26 unaudited results, with revenue from operations at Rs. 20,685.62 lakh (vs Rs. 16,830.05 lakh in Q1 FY25, but down from Rs. 23,914.77 lakh in Q4 FY25). Profit after tax fell to Rs. 137.61 lakh from Rs. 217.37 lakh a year earlier, with EPS of Rs. 0.05. Additionally, the cost auditor was re-appointed for FY 2025-26, and the board authorised LME-related transactions and opened a Kotak Mahindra Bank account for the same.
Two independent directors exiting on the same day may raise short-term governance concerns and could pressure the stock, though both cited personal reasons. Investors should watch for timely replacement of these directors and the Q1 profit decline (~37% YoY) for signs of margin pressure.
