Bazel International held its 44th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on September 30, 2026, approving key corporate actions including the implementation of a new employee stock option plan and the appointment of statutory auditors.
The meeting, conducted at the company’s registered office in New Delhi, saw members adopt both standalone and consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The Chairman noted that there were no qualifications or adverse remarks in the reports of the Statutory Auditors, Krishan Rakesh & Co., or the Secretarial Auditors, Meenu G. & Associates.
Resolutions Passed
Members voted to appoint M/S G. Anshul & Associates, Chartered Accountants, as the new Statutory Auditor of the company. Additionally, Ms. Sriparna Upadhyay was re-appointed as a Director retiring by rotation under the articles of association.
A significant governance update involved the introduction of an equity-linked incentive scheme. The shareholders approved the "Bil Employee Stock Option Plan 2026" (BAZEL ESOP 2026) through a trust route. This plan authorizes the granting of employee stock options to employees and directors of the company, as well as employees of subsidiary companies.
Board Changes and Withdrawn Items
The AGM addressed changes in the board composition. Mr. Mayank Ahuja was appointed as a Non-Executive, Non-Independent Director. However, a proposed resolution for the appointment of Mr. Kawal Singh as a Non-Executive Independent Director was withdrawn. The Chairman informed members that Mr. Singh had resigned from his directorship effective September 28, 2026, prior to the meeting date. Consequently, votes cast on this item were disregarded by the scrutinizer.
Members also ratified increases in the authorized equity share capital and approved further increases within limits previously sanctioned by shareholders.
