GK Energy Ltd announced on April 7, 2026, that its Board of Directors has approved the regularization of Mr. Subhash Vasant Ghaisas as a Non-Executive Independent Director. The appointment is effective retroactively from February 13, 2026, and is for a five-year term concluding on February 12, 2031.

Strengthening Corporate Governance
The regularization of an independent director is a key step in strengthening GK Energy's corporate governance structure. Such appointments ensure independent oversight and contribute to robust decision-making, which is essential for maintaining shareholder confidence and the company's long-term operations.
