Crisis-hit Unitech has appointed Hemangi Dhir as an additional non-executive independent director of the company.

With the appointment of Dhir, the company said it was complying with the mandatory provisions of Sebi (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, regarding the combination of directors with at least one woman director.

In a regulatory filing, Unitech said the appointment has been made with effect from October 3, 2018, for a term of five years.
