Ashima Ltd. Seeks Shareholder Approval via Postal Ballot for Director Appointment and RPT Increase
Ashima Limited is conducting a postal ballot for shareholders to approve Mr. Malay Jayendra Dalal's appointment as an Independent Director for five years from May 1, 2026. Shareholders will also vote on increasing the annual limit for related party transactions between its subsidiary ACML and Saumya Construction Private Limited to ₹6.50 crore. Remote e-voting is open from May 29 to June 27, 2026.
The appointment of an independent director is a governance-related event. The increase in RPTs, while within limits and on an arm's length basis, does involve a related party and a significant financial value that requires shareholder approval, thus having a medium impact.
The announcement pertains to routine corporate governance processes like director appointments and related party transaction approvals, which are standard procedures and do not inherently indicate positive or negative performance.
Ashima Limited has initiated a postal ballot process to seek shareholder approval for two key resolutions. The first resolution concerns the appointment of Mr. Malay Jayendra Dalal as an Independent Director for a term of five years, from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2031. Mr. Dalal, a Fellow Chartered Accountant with over 35 years of experience, was initially appointed as an Additional Director on May 1, 2026.
The second resolution seeks approval to increase the aggregate value of related party transactions (RPTs) between Ashima Capital Management Limited (ACML), a wholly-owned subsidiary, and Saumya Construction Private Limited. The proposed annual limit for these transactions is increased to ₹6,50,00,000 (Rupees Six Crore Fifty Lakhs only) per year for the financial years 2026-27, 2027-28, and 2028-29. This is an enhancement from the previously approved limit of ₹6,00,00,000 (Rupees Six Crore only) per year. The company assures that these transactions will be conducted on an arm's length basis and in the ordinary course of business.
The postal ballot process involves remote e-voting, which commenced on May 29, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. IST and will conclude on June 27, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. IST. The cut-off date for determining eligible shareholders was May 22, 2026. CDSL has been engaged to provide the remote e-voting facility. The results of the postal ballot will be declared within two working days of the e-voting end date.
