Premier Energies Ltd held a Board meeting on May 15, 2026 where multiple business items were approved. The company reported strong FY26 financials with revenue of Rs 78,243.74 million (up 20% from Rs 65,187.45 million in FY25) and net profit of Rs 15,096.89 million (up 61% from Rs 9,371.32 million). Mr. Ravella Sreeenivasa Rao resigned as Company Secretary and Compliance Officer due to an internal transition and realignment of responsibilities within the group structure, effective close of business hours on May 15, 2026. He was replaced by Mr. Hitesh Kumar Jain, a seasoned professional with over 25 years of experience in corporate governance, compliance and legal affairs, previously holding leadership roles at Stellantis India and ONGC Mangalore Petrochemicals. The Board also approved raising funds up to Rs 5,000 crores via QIP or other permissible modes, and re-appointed Deloitte Haskins & Sells as Statutory Auditors for another 5-year term.
The resignation and immediate replacement of the Company Secretary represents routine KMP transition as part of internal restructuring. The strong financial performance showing 61% profit growth is positive for shareholders. The planned Rs 5,000 crore fund raise indicates potential expansion or deleveraging plans.
