FMCG firm Henkel India has received shareholders’ nod to rechristen itself as Jyothy Consumer Products Ltd, following merger with Jyothy Laboratories Ltd.

The shareholders of the company have through a postal ballot overwhelmingly passed a special resolution for changing the name of the company from Henkel India Ltd to Jyothy Consumer Products Ltd, Henkel India said in a filing to BSE.

Out of the total number of votes polled, 99.93 votes were in favour of the resolution while 0.07% were against the resolution. Results of the postal ballot were declared on July 11, it added.
