The Members of the Company, by way of Postal Ballot held on November 2, 2019, had appointed Mr. Dinesh Lal (DIN:00037142) as an Independent Director of the Company for the first term of five years from August 1, 2019 to July 31, 2024, not liable to retire by rotation, pursuant to the provisions of Section 149 and Schedule IV of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act’) read with the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014 and the applicable regulations of SEBI (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (‘Listing Regulations’). The first term of Mr. Dinesh Lal as an Independent Director of the Company was up to July 31, 2024.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 149(10) of the Act, an Independent Director shall be eligible for re-appointment for second term on passing of a special resolution by the Company. Further, a new sub-regulation 17(1A) of the Listing Regulations mandates that no listed entity shall appoint a person or continue the directorship of any person as a Non-Executive Director who has attained the age of seventy-five years, unless a special resolution is passed to that effect.
The Company has received notice in writing from a Member of the Company under the provisions of Section 160(1) of the Act as amended by the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017, proposing the candidature of Mr. Dinesh Lal for the office of Director of the Company.

Accordingly, based on the recommendation of the NRC, the Board of Directors of the Company have approved the re-appointment of Mr. Dinesh Lal as an Independent Director of the Company for the second term of three years from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, subject to the approval of the Members of the Company, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 149, 150, 152 and all other applicable provisions read with Schedule IV of the Act and the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014 and the Listing Regulations.
