  • RESOLVED THAT the Audited Financial Statements of the Company for the Financial Year ended 31st March, 2026, together with the report of the Board of Directors, the Auditor’s Report thereon and the Comments of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, be and are hereby approved and adoptedMoreLess
    Against Angel One Mutual Fund, DSP Mutual Fund, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund
    • Angel One Mutual FundGovernance Concern: Default in payment of loans and interests; Non-Compliant Audit Committee at the time of approval of financial statements. Absence of a compliant Audit Committee casts serious doubts over the integrity/ accuracy of the financial statements.
    • DSP Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual FundWe have relied upon the auditors’ report, which has raised emphases of matter highlighting the NCLT-approved resolution plan for FACT-RCF Building Products Ltd (FRBL), the company's joint venture, which cancels FRBL's share capital and cancelled the company's dues. The company has appealed the plan before the NCLAT, since it includes land leased by the company to FRBL, and has discontinued equity accounting for FRBL. Subsequently, on 18 May 2026, FACT terminated the tenancy and took possession of the leased land. Pending adjudication, FACT continues to carry its existing investment and outstanding dues from FRBL, both of which are fully impaired, and has retained a Rs. 2.4 mn provision relating to its gypsum supply obligation. The auditors have not modified their opinion on the same. Based on the auditors’ report, which is unqualified, the financial statements are in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies and Indian Accounting Standards (IND-AS). We raise concern that the company has not constituted an audit committee in line with regulations and did not have sufficient independent directors on the board when the FY26 audited financial results were approved. We do not support the resolution.
    • Edelweiss Mutual FundUnqualified Financial Statements.

    Against Axis Mutual Fund, HDFC Mutual Fund
    • Axis Mutual FundThe current approved borrowing limit of the company is Rs. 35.0 bn. The company has stated that the outstanding Government of India loan along with the interest accrued as on 31 March 2025, has exceeded Rs. 35.0 bn. Considering this and in view of the company's expansion plans and to meet other financial requirements, if any, in future the company seeks approval to increase the borrowing limits to provide sufficient flexibility to the board in arranging funds. As on 31 March 2025, as per regulations, the automatic borrowing limit was Rs. 12.1 bn, debt was Rs 36.8 bn and debt to equity was at ~2.7x on a standalone basis. The company seeks approval for a borrowing limit of Rs. 50.0 bn over and above paid-up capital, free reserves and securities premium. We do not favour rolling limits linked to net worth and recommend that companies seek approval for a fixed quantum. We do not support the resolution.

She is serving on the board since 1 September 2020 as a nominee of Government of India. She attended three out of four board meetings (75%) held in FY24. We are unable to support Aparna Sharma’s directorship since the board composition is not compliant with regulations on independent director representation – three out of nine or 33% of the board is independent, against the regulatory requirement of 50%.
