The board, at its meeting on March 18, 2026, approved the appointment of Mr. Surinder Kalra (DIN: 10779178) as Internal Auditor under Section 138 of the Companies Act. Notably, Mr. Kalra already serves as the company's Whole-Time Director, raising a conflict-of-interest concern. In the same meeting, the board also allotted 11,49,998 equity shares to non-promoters at INR 14 per share (raising about INR 1.61 crore in cash) and issued 44,14,285 shares on conversion of a INR 6.18 crore loan. Additionally, 72,49,998 convertible warrants were allotted to non-promoters at INR 14 each, potentially raising another INR 10.15 crore. Mr. Arvinder Singh Kohli was appointed as an Additional Non-Executive Independent Director. Post-allotment, the company's paid-up capital rises to about INR 10.78 crore.
For shareholders, the appointment of a sitting Whole-Time Director as Internal Auditor is a governance red flag worth watching, as it blurs oversight lines. The large preferential allotments and warrants will dilute existing shareholders significantly if fully converted, but bring in fresh capital (about INR 1.61 crore now and potentially INR 10.15 crore later).
