The full read
Gallantt Ispat's Q1 revenue came in at ₹1,145.7 crore, a slight dip from the previous quarter's ₹1,205 crore, while net profit held nearly flat at ₹123.7 crore. But the headline news is governance. After the previous CFO quit on July 15, the board moved quickly: on July 27 it appointed Amit Jalan, the company's long-serving chief accounts officer, as the new CFO. Jalan brings 25+ years of internal experience. Separately, statutory auditor Maroti & Associates resigned citing the company's increased scale and complexity; the board has named Singhi & Co., a larger Indian firm, subject to shareholder approval. Two governance uncertainties from July have now been addressed — one with an insider promotion, the other with a potential upgrade. That's a fast reset.
