On June 2, the annual general meeting held the agenda had to turn down the company’s asset monetisation plan as per shareholder of Reliance Power (RPower).

On June 4 (Monday), the AGM result was disclosed that 78 per cent of shareholders had voted in favour of a special resolution to monetise its assets. The rest, 28 per cent, had voted against the resolution.

Yet, the resolution did not get through because a special resolution requires 75 per cent of shareholders to vote in its favour, according to proxy advisory firms. Last month, a report by Institutional Investor Advisory Services (IiAS) said the company defaulted on loans to the tune of Rs 3,561 crore as of March 31, 2022.
