Jajodia & Associates was re-appointed as Secretarial Auditor for 5 years (till FY 2030-31), M/s. AMS & Co. as Internal Auditor for FY 2025-26, and M/s.

Additionally, Mr. Kishor Patel, a Mechanical Engineer with 38 years of industry experience (previously with Colgate Contract Fillers and PGI), was appointed as Additional Non-Executive Independent Director for 5 years starting 22nd August 2025, subject to shareholder approval. None of the appointees have disclosed relationships with existing directors.
This is a routine governance update with new statutory auditor and an independent director joining the board. No negative signals — these are fresh appointments to strengthen audit oversight and board independence, generally neutral to slightly positive for governance quality.
