SML Isuzu Limited has issued a postal ballot notice seeking shareholder approval for the appointment of Mr. Yasushi Nishikawa (DIN 11027072) as Director and Managing Director & CEO. The Board had already appointed him as Additional Director and MD & CEO with effect from April 17, 2025, and now needs shareholder nod within three months as required by SEBI's Listing Regulations. Mr. Nishikawa, aged 61, is a graduate from Osaka University and brings over 38 years of experience with Sumitomo Corporation across Japan and Mexico, including senior roles such as President of Sumitomo Corporation de Mexico and Executive VP & CFO of Mazda Motor Manufacturing de Mexico. His term is for five years with a starting monthly salary of Rs. 5.77 lakh (extendable up to Rs. 8 lakh), plus 1% net profit commission and standard perquisites. Remote e-voting runs from June 14 to July 13, 2025, and results will be announced by July 15, 2025.
The appointment brings a senior Sumitomo Corporation executive (the Japanese joint venture partner) to lead the company, which may strengthen strategic alignment with the foreign partner. For shareholders, the postal ballot is procedural and the outcome is likely to be a formality given the Board's recommendation.
