Orient Ceratech Limited, formerly known as Orient Abrasives Limited and part of the Ashapura Group, has made significant announcements following its Board meeting on November 10, 2025. The company approved its unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and half-year ending September 30, 2025. Among the key decisions, the Board appointed Mrs. Akhila Agnihotri Samdaria as an Additional Non-Executive Independent Director for a five-year term, effective immediately, and re-appointed Mr. Manan Shah as Managing Director for a similar term starting April 12, 2026.

In addition to these appointments, the Board accepted the resignation of Mrs. Neeta Shah as Independent Director, effective the same day. The company expressed gratitude for her contributions during her tenure. Another major announcement from the meeting was the decision to establish a new plant for its foundry and resin coating line business. This facility will be set up by Orient Advanced Materials Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, and is projected to be operational by the end of Q4 FY 2025-26.

These developments underline Orient Ceratech's strategic focus on growth and expansion. The new plant in Baraya, Gujarat, is part of the company's broader business strategy to enhance its manufacturing capabilities in the coating industry. The Board's decisions reflect a commitment to strengthening governance through new appointments while also signaling a proactive approach to increasing production capacity to meet market demands.
