NEW DELHI:

Opposition from Damani, who owns nearly a third of India's third largest cigarette maker, marks a rare episode of opposition from the investor who holds more than 1% shares in 11 publicly listed companies.

BAT, the promoter of VST Industries with 32.16% shareholding, first appointed its executive Naresh Kumar Sethi as director on the board of the Hyderabad-based cigarette maker in November 2018.
