The full read
Gallantt Ispat, a ₹17,159 cr steelmaker with trailing revenue growth of 12.4% and low debt, has moved to shore up governance. Statutory auditor Maroti & Associates resigned, citing the growing scale and complexity of the audit plus commercial factors, but cited no disputes. The board immediately appointed Singhi & Co. as the new auditor. Separately, the CFO vacancy left by Pradyumna Kumar Satpathy's resignation has been filled internally. Amit Jalan, who has been with the company since incorporation and most recently served as Chief Accounts Officer, takes over. These are low-drama changes. They resolve two open governance questions without throwing up any red flags. For a company of this size (with ₹1,205 cr in quarterly sales from the March 2026 quarter), an auditor upgrade and an internal CFO handoff signal stability more than surprise.
