Bemco Hydraulics has closed its trading window for equity shares starting October 1, 2026. The restriction remains in effect until 48 hours after the declaration of financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

This action is taken pursuant to the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, and the company's adopted Code of Conduct. The closure applies to all officers and designated employees as defined within the code, preventing them from trading in the company's securities during this blackout period.

Regulatory Compliance and Timeline

The company notified BSE Limited of this development in a letter dated September 28, 2026. The trading window closure is a standard compliance measure to prevent insider trading during the sensitive period leading up to the announcement of quarterly financial performance.

The specific date for the Board meeting to declare the Q2FY27 results will be intimated separately in due course. Once the results are declared, the trading window will reopen after a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period to ensure fair market access to information.

Key Details of the Closure

The company, registered in Belgaum, Karnataka, is an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified entity. The notice was signed by Amruta Tarale, Company Secretary, confirming adherence to regulatory norms regarding insider trading prevention.

Bemco Hydraulics Limited shareholders approved all 10 agenda items at its 68th annual general meeting (AGM) held on August 13, 2026. The meeting covered routine matters such as the adoption of standalone and consolidated financial statements for FY26, dividend declarations, and director reappointments, alongside special resolutions regarding management remuneration and related-party transactions.

S. R. Deshpande, Company Secretary in Practice, served as the scrutinizer for the e-voting and poll process. The voting window opened on August 9, 2026, and concluded after the physical meeting ended. A total of 54 members voted in favor of the adoption of financial statements, casting 3,49,62,447 votes, which accounted for 99.99% of valid votes cast.

Key Resolutions Approved

The shareholders passed six ordinary resolutions and four special resolutions. All items received overwhelming support, with dissenting votes limited to just 40 votes (0.01%) across most agenda items.

Ordinary Resolutions

The following ordinary resolutions were approved:

• Adoption of audited standalone financial statements for FY26
• Adoption of audited consolidated financial statements for FY26
• Declaration of dividend on equity shares for FY26
• Confirmation of dividend paid on 300,000, 11% Cumulative Redeemable Preference shares for the period April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026
• Re-election of Vijay Kumar Mohta as a director retiring by rotation
• Re-election of Jyoti Mohan Dalmia as a director retiring by rotation

Special Resolutions

Four special resolutions required higher thresholds for approval but also passed with strong backing:

• Ratification of increase in remuneration of the Managing Director
• Approval of remuneration for Mr. Anirudh Mohta for office or place of profit in subsidiary companies
• Approval of related-party transactions with subsidiary Bemco Fluidtechnik LLP
• Lease of undertaking under Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013

Voting Analysis

The e-voting platform provided by Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) recorded significant participation. For the adoption of financial statements, 1,05,88,069 votes were cast via e-voting and 2,43,74,378 votes via physical mode.

Notably, one corporate member abstained from voting on Special Resolutions 8 and 9 due to related-party status. The scrutinizer report confirmed that no invalid votes were recorded for any resolution.

What the Numbers Show

The voting pattern reveals a clear distinction between retail/institutional participation via e-voting and promoter/block holder participation via physical voting. While e-voting volumes ranged between 22.78 lakh and 1.05 crore votes depending on the resolution, physical voting remained consistently high at 2.43 crore votes for ordinary resolutions. This suggests that large block holders, who typically vote physically, drove the majority of the vote count for standard corporate governance items, while e-voting participation was more variable for complex special resolutions involving related-party transactions.
