Siti Networks Files FY25 Financials Without AGM Amid Ongoing Insolvency Process

🔴 NEGATIVE ⭐ 7/10

REGULATORY 📅 25 Feb 2026, 06:40 PM

Siti Networks Limited has submitted its audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for FY 2024-25 without holding an Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Resolution Professional (RP) cited technical and legal hurdles, including the ROC's stance that the IBC does not explicitly require RPs to conduct AGMs as shareholders are treated as creditors under the waterfall mechanism. The company remains under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) following a 2023 NCLT order regarding a default of ₹148.83 crore to IndusInd Bank. This procedural filing highlights the continued suspension of normal corporate governance and board powers.

Audited financial results for FY ended March 31, 2025, filed without convening a mandatory AGM.
Company has been under CIRP since February 22, 2023, due to a ₹148.83 crore default to IndusInd Bank.
ROC rejected initial extension requests, stating IBC lacks explicit provisions for RPs to call shareholder meetings.
Management powers remain vested in Resolution Professional Rohit Mehra, with the Board of Directors suspended.
The company continues to operate as a going concern under the supervision of the Committee of Creditors (CoC).

💡 Investors should remain extremely cautious as the company is in deep financial distress and shareholder rights are effectively secondary to creditor claims under CIRP. The inability to hold an AGM further limits transparency and shareholder participation in the company's future.
