The Board also accepted resignations of two Independent Directors (Mrs. Seema Singh, Mr. Manjit Singh Kochar), one Non-Executive Director (Mr. Dinesh Kumar Mehtani), the CFO (Mr. Navneet Gupta), and the Company Secretary (Mr. Sumit Sushil Jain), while appointing M/s Lal Ghai & Associates as Secretarial Auditor for five years and M/s Jatin Sharma & Co. as Cost Auditor for FY26.

Likely market impact

This is a deeply negative filing for shareholders: the company is loss-making, revenue has collapsed, and the auditor has formally questioned whether the business can continue operating. The combination of going concern uncertainty, defaulting on bank loans, plants largely shut, and a mass exit of directors and KMPs signals serious financial distress and elevated risk of insolvency proceedings.
