Unitech Limited: Nominee Director Mrs. Uma Shankar Resigns
Mrs. Uma Shankar, a Nominee Director at Unitech Limited, has resigned from the board effective March 7, 2026, due to personal reasons. Her appointment was made by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs following a Supreme Court order.
The resignation of a single non-executive nominee director, especially one appointed by a government body, is unlikely to have a significant immediate impact on the company's operations or financial performance.
The resignation of a director is a routine event and does not inherently indicate positive or negative performance or outlook for the company. The reason cited is personal.
Unitech Limited has announced the resignation of Mrs. Uma Shankar, a Nominee Director (Non-Executive), from its Board of Directors. Her resignation is effective from March 7, 2026, citing personal reasons. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), which had appointed Mrs. Shankar to the board in compliance with a Supreme Court order, was formally notified of her resignation by an order dated March 25, 2026.
Mrs. Shankar was appointed as a Nominee Director by the MCA on October 19, 2022, following a Supreme Court directive on December 18, 2019, and January 20, 2020, for the appointment of an independent management for Unitech Limited. The company has confirmed that there are no other material reasons for her resignation beyond personal grounds.
Mrs. Uma Shankar also holds directorships in other listed entities: she is an Independent Director at The Karnataka Bank Limited and NCC Limited, where she serves on various board committees, including the Audit Committee and the Stakeholders Relationship Committee. The company has expressed regret for the delayed filing of this disclosure to the stock exchanges, attributing it to an unintentional oversight and assuring timely future filings.
