RHI Magnesita India Ltd. Appoints B S R & Co. LLP as New Statutory Auditors
RHI Magnesita India Limited has appointed B S R & Co. LLP as its new statutory auditors, replacing Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP. The new auditors are appointed for a five-year term starting from the conclusion of the 16th AGM in 2026 until the 21st AGM in 2031. This change aligns the company's auditors with its ultimate holding company.
A change in statutory auditors can have a medium-term impact on corporate governance and financial reporting processes, requiring a transition period and establishing a new working relationship.
The change in auditors is a routine corporate action and does not inherently suggest a positive or negative outlook for the company. The appointment is to align with the holding company's auditor.
RHI Magnesita India Limited announced a change in its statutory auditors following the resignation of Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP. The Board of Directors, at a meeting held on 14 August 2026, accepted the resignation of Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP from their roles as statutory auditors for the Company and its material wholly-owned subsidiary, RHI Magnesita India Refractories Limited (RHIMIRL). This change is to align the company's statutory auditor with that of its ultimate holding company, RHI Magnesita N.V.
Concurrently, based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board approved the appointment of B S R & Co. LLP as the new statutory auditors for both the Company and RHIMIRL to fill the casual vacancy. B S R & Co. LLP has been recommended as the statutory auditor for RHI Magnesita India Limited for a term of five consecutive years, commencing from the conclusion of the 16th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in calendar year 2026 until the conclusion of the 21st AGM in calendar year 2031, subject to shareholders' approval. Similarly, for RHIMIRL, B S R & Co. LLP has been recommended for a five-year term, starting from the conclusion of its 8th AGM in calendar year 2026 until the conclusion of its 13th AGM in calendar year 2031.
