The Board also approved a revised list of Key Managerial Personnel authorized to determine materiality and make disclosures to the stock exchanges, effective August 26, 2026.
Furthermore, the company approved the divestment of its entire investment in Oban Fashions Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary.
