RITES Limited has informed the stock exchanges about the appointment of two Non-Official Independent Directors, as approved by the Ministry of Railways, Government of India. Dr. Dineshananda Goswami has been re-appointed as an Independent Director for one year with effect from July 7, 2025; he had previously served on the board from November 2021 to October 2024. Ms. Purnima Kerketta has been newly appointed as an Independent Director for three years with effect from July 13, 2025, and brings over 18 years of experience at The Urban Co-operative Bank in Rourkela, Odisha. The board approved both appointments on July 15, 2025, and confirmed that neither director is debarred by SEBI or any other authority.
This is a routine governance update common in government-owned companies; independent directors are appointed by the Ministry of Railways, so the appointments are administrative in nature and are unlikely to materially affect the stock price. Shareholders should note the strengthened independent oversight on the board.
