Outcome of Board Meeting
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Grand Foundry Ltd's board, which met on 15th January 2026 from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM, accepted three key resignations: statutory auditor M/s Ashwani & Associates (effective 6th Jan), internal auditor M/s Ajay Kanjhlia & Associates (effective 6th Jan), and company secretary Ms. Nalini Singh (effective 8th Jan). To fill the vacancies, the board recommended M/s ANSK & Associates as new statutory auditor (subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming EGM) and directly appointed M/s Goyal Mittal & Associates LLP as the new internal auditor. Most notably, the board approved adding new objects to the company's Memorandum of Association to enter the telecom, broadband, internet services, leased line, and digital communication business — a major diversification away from its current foundry/steel operations. An Extra-Ordinary General Meeting has been scheduled for 10th February 2026 via video conferencing, with 3rd February 2026 set as the e-voting cut-off date, to seek shareholder approval for these changes.
The proposed entry into telecom, broadband and internet services marks a sharp business pivot from the company's foundry/steel roots and could be a significant re-rating catalyst if approved by shareholders. However, the cluster of resignations across auditors and the company secretary in early January may raise governance concerns worth monitoring. Investors should track the EGM on 10th February for the final outcome of the new auditor appointment and the diversification proposal.
