Key AGM Proposals
The agenda for Havells India's 43rd Annual General Meeting (AGM) on June 19, 2026, centers on key financial and governance matters. Shareholders will be asked to approve the audited financial statements for FY 2025-26, alongside the proposed final dividend of ₹6.00 per equity share. The meeting will also cover the re-appointment of retiring directors and M/s Price Waterhouse & Co Chartered Accountants LLP as statutory auditors. These proposals follow the company's reported financial results for the fiscal year 2025-26.
Focus on Shareholders and Employees
The proposed dividend represents a direct return of value to Havells India's shareholders. Additionally, the company plans to introduce the Havells Employees Stock Purchase Scheme 2026 (ESPS 2026), which aims to incentivize employees and potentially enhance retention. Re-appointments of directors and auditors signal a focus on board continuity and established governance practices.
