Sanathan Textiles Limited is seeking shareholder approval to reappoint promoter-directors Paresh Dattani, Ajaykumar Dattani and Anilkumar Dattani for five years from December 1, 2026. The board approved the three proposals on November 4, 2026, following a recommendation from its Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Results, valuation, peers and who's buying, in one view.
Why is Sanathan Textiles seeking three reappointments?
Sanathan Textiles is seeking the reappointments because the existing tenures of Paresh Dattani, Ajaykumar Dattani and Anilkumar Dattani are nearing completion. The board considered and approved the proposals at its November 4, 2026 meeting after receiving the Nomination and Remuneration Committee’s recommendation.
The company has described each proposed change as a reappointment rather than an appointment, resignation, removal or other board change. The November 4 decision therefore concerns continuity of the three existing promoter-directors, subject to the separate approval required from shareholders.
Sanathan Textiles has set one effective date, December 1, 2026, for all three proposals. Each proposed term is for five years commencing from that date, meaning the company has presented the three renewals as a common leadership-tenure decision rather than as staggered board actions.
The filing does not disclose a shareholder-meeting date, voting timetable or voting result for the three resolutions. It also does not state revised remuneration, equity holdings, committee assignments or any change to the scope of the directors’ disclosed responsibilities as part of the November 4, 2026 decision.
What term has Sanathan Textiles proposed for each director?
Sanathan Textiles has proposed a five-year reappointment from December 1, 2026 for each of the three directors. The same commencement date and five-year period apply to Paresh Dattani, Ajaykumar Dattani and Anilkumar Dattani under the annexure issued with the November 4, 2026 disclosure.
The proposed terms cannot take effect solely on the board’s November 4 approval because the company states that shareholder approval is required. The board approval and shareholder vote are therefore separate steps in the mechanism disclosed for the reappointments.
The common five-year structure means the filing presents no difference in tenure between the three promoter-directors. It does, however, describe different operating and administrative responsibilities for each person, including overall leadership, cotton-division operations, and corporate social responsibility and administration.
What responsibilities would Paresh Dattani continue to hold?
Paresh Dattani would continue as Chairman and Managing Director if shareholders approve the five-year reappointment from December 1, 2026. Sanathan Textiles says he oversees the company’s overall performance and operations and provides strategic direction and leadership.
The company’s profile says Paresh Dattani contributes to the formulation and implementation of strategies intended to strengthen performance and further long-term business objectives. It also says he provides leadership and guidance to key managerial personnel and senior management, facilitates coordination between functions, and supports the implementation of business plans and policies.
Paresh Dattani signed the unaudited consolidated financial-results notes as Chairman and Managing Director on November 4, 2026. Those results covered the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2026 and were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the board on the same date as the reappointment proposals.
The September 30, 2026 results identify Yarn Manufacturing as Sanathan Textiles’ single business operating segment for reporting under Indian Accounting Standard 108, Operating Segments. The filing does not assign Paresh Dattani a separate segment target, revenue target or capital-expenditure target alongside the proposed five-year term.

What work do Ajaykumar and Anilkumar Dattani oversee?
Ajaykumar Dattani is responsible for managing Sanathan Textiles’ cotton division operations and expansion, according to the company’s November 4, 2026 profile disclosure. The company also says he oversees the division’s business activities and operational performance.
Sanathan Textiles identifies finance, production and compliance as other key functions supervised by Ajaykumar Dattani. The company says this cross-functional involvement contributes to operational management and coordination and supports the implementation of business strategies and the achievement of operational and growth objectives.
Anilkumar Dattani is an Executive Director who contributes to the management and administration of Sanathan Textiles’ affairs, the company says. His disclosed responsibilities include oversight of corporate social responsibility and administration, rather than management of a separately reported operating segment.
The company says Anilkumar Dattani has developed an understanding of its operations, organisational structure and administrative requirements through his association with the business. It says his continued association is expected to support effective functioning, corporate objectives, and stability in management and administration, but the November 4 filing gives no quantified performance target for his proposed five-year term.
What does the filing disclose about the three promoters?
Sanathan Textiles identifies Paresh Dattani, Ajaykumar Dattani and Anilkumar Dattani as promoters of the company. This promoter disclosure appears with the proposed reappointment information dated November 4, 2026 and applies to all three directors.
The filing says none of the three is debarred from holding office by an order of the Securities and Exchange Board of India, or by any other authority, as required under the cited BSE and National Stock Exchange circulars. That statement addresses eligibility to hold office and does not set out any additional board qualification or tenure condition.
The relationship disclosure does not specify any family relationship among the three directors. It states only that Paresh Dattani, Ajaykumar Dattani and Anilkumar Dattani are promoters, while the proposed reappointment dates and five-year terms are identical.
Sanathan Textiles’ September 30, 2026 consolidated-results notes describe the group as the holding company and its two wholly owned subsidiaries. The same notes report a single Yarn Manufacturing operating segment, providing the reporting context for Paresh Dattani’s company-wide role and the other two directors’ disclosed functional responsibilities.
What should shareholders assess before the vote?
Shareholders are being asked to assess three five-year reappointments that would begin on December 1, 2026, rather than a proposal to add new directors. The board approved all three on November 4, 2026 after the Nomination and Remuneration Committee’s recommendation, but shareholder approval remains outstanding.
The disclosed roles differ across the three proposed terms. Paresh Dattani’s profile covers overall performance, operations and senior-management leadership; Ajaykumar Dattani’s profile centres on the cotton division, finance, production and compliance; and Anilkumar Dattani’s profile covers corporate social responsibility and administration.
The announcement does not include a revised compensation package, shareholding data, a board-composition comparison, or a shareholder-voting date. It also does not disclose whether any of the three directors would receive changed executive powers after December 1, 2026, beyond their stated responsibilities.
The available filing instead gives shareholders the board’s stated basis for the November 4, 2026 action: the nearing completion of the directors’ current tenures and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee’s recommendation. Any outcome will depend on the shareholder approvals specified in the disclosure.
Conclusion
Sanathan Textiles has proposed a coordinated five-year continuation of its three promoter-directors from December 1, 2026. The November 4, 2026 board action would retain Paresh Dattani in the Chairman and Managing Director role, preserve Ajaykumar Dattani’s disclosed cotton-division and cross-functional remit, and continue Anilkumar Dattani’s Executive Director responsibilities for corporate social responsibility and administration.
The next item to watch is shareholder approval of the three five-year reappointments, which Sanathan Textiles says is required before the terms can take effect. The November 4, 2026 filing does not disclose the date of the shareholder meeting, the voting process or a result, leaving those matters unresolved in the announcement.
