Poona Dal & Oil Industries Ltd's board underwent a complete overhaul of its independent directors on 19 May 2026. Three independent directors — Mr. Kewalchand Muthiyan, Ms. Ligy George, and Mr. Ajinkya Ghogardare — tendered their resignations, all citing completion of their respective terms. Muthiyan completed consecutive terms and was ineligible for reappointment, while both George and Ghogardare completed their first terms and expressed unwillingness to continue. In a simultaneous move, the Board appointed three new independent directors — Ms. Ankita Agrawal (Chartered Accountant with 9+ years in finance and automotive sectors), Mr. Rupesh Lohade (Chartered Accountant with 10+ years across finance and advisory), and Dr. Narhari Kadekar (40+ years in taxation, GST, and international trade). Additionally, Mr. Satyen Gattani was appointed as an Additional Executive Director. All appointments are subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing AGM.
All three outgoing independent directors cited routine term completion rather than governance disagreements, and the replacements appear professionally qualified. However, the simultaneous resignation of the entire independent director panel is unusual and warrants monitoring for underlying governance issues or management tensions.
