- Resignation letter cites personal reasons and other pre-occupations.
Why this matters

- Progress on the demerger plan after an earlier setback.
- Whether profitability rebounds after the 56% trailing PAT decline.
The full read
Routine. Pithelis Raj Santhanamarian is stepping down as whole-time director of Maharashtra Seamless effective 30 June 2026, but he isn't leaving the board; he'll stay as a non-executive director. The resignation letter submitted to exchanges cites personal reasons and confirms no material dispute. For a mid-cap steel pipe maker, a non-C-suite director quitting an executive role while keeping a board seat is hardly disruptive. The event pales beside the company's recent 56% profit slide, promoter share purchases, and a demerger plan sent back for more review — all far more material for shareholders.
Questions answered
