Dish TV slides 10% as investors reject results, auditor appointment
The Hindu
Dish TV also adjourned its annual general meeting without a date
Shares of Dish TV fell as much as 10% on Tuesday, a day after shareholders of the broadcast satellite service provider rejected audited statements for the last two fiscals, appointments of a new auditor and an independent director.
The shareholders rejected appointments of Rakesh Mohan as an independent director as well as S.N. Dhawan & Co LLP, Chartered Accountants as the auditor of the company.
Dish TV also adjourned its annual general meeting without a date, the company said in a filing late on Monday, adding that the strength of the board had come down to two directors, below the minimum required strength of three.
Yes Bank, which holds an about 25% stake in Dish TV, has been pushing for a board reconstitution, citing corporate governance issues.
"As a largest shareholder, it looks like Yes Bank has voted against some of the proposals," said Shriram Subramanian, managing director of Bengaluru-based InGovern Research Services, a corporate governance advisory firm.
"Now, the ball is in Yes Bank's court. It should take it up to the next stage of appointing new directors and provide direction to the company."
Yes Bank did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.

The latest Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES) by MoS&PI reveals a transformative shift in India’s economic landscape. For the first time in over a decade, granular data on Monthly Per Capita Expenditure (MPCE) highlights a significant decline in the proportional share of food spending—a classic validation of Engel’s Law as real incomes rise. Between 1999 and 2024, both rural and urban consumption pivoted away from staple-heavy diets toward protein-rich foods, health, education, and conveyance. As Indian households move beyond subsistence, these shifting Indian household spending patterns offer vital insights for social sector policy, poverty estimation, and the lived realities of an expanding middle-income population.
