Benara Bearings & Pistons Limited has scheduled a book closure period from September 22, 2026, to September 28, 2026, for its upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). The company’s Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed during this window to finalize the list of shareholders eligible to attend and vote at the meeting.

The intimation was issued on August 19, 2026, by Vivek Benara, Managing Director of the company. The move ensures that only shareholders registered within the specified dates are considered members for the purpose of the AGM.

Regulatory Compliance

The book closure details were communicated to BSE Limited in compliance with Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This regulation requires listed entities to disclose the dates of book closure for general meetings well in advance.

Shareholders holding equity shares as of September 28, 2026, will be eligible to participate in the AGM. The company has requested stakeholders to take note of these dates for their records.

Benara Bearings has finalized the logistics for its 36th Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduling the event for Monday, September 28, 2026, at 2:30 PM IST via Video Conferencing or Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM). In its board meeting held on August 7, 2026, the company also approved the Directors' Report for FY25-26 and recommended several key governance changes to shareholders, including the regularization of two new independent directors and the appointment of a secretarial auditor.

The Board, led by Managing Director Vivek Benara, focused on ensuring regulatory compliance and leadership continuity. A primary agenda item was the recommendation for the re-appointment of Mr. Panna Lal Jain (DIN: 00204869), who retires by rotation under Section 152(6) of the Companies Act, 2013. Being eligible, Mr. Jain has offered himself for re-appointment at the ensuing AGM.

Additionally, the Board sought shareholder approval to regularize the appointments of two Non-Executive Independent Directors who were initially appointed for a five-year term effective March 19, 2026. These include Mr. Harvendra Kumar Singh (DIN: 11610068) and Ms. Sunidhi Jain (DIN: 11610101). This regularization is a standard procedural step required when directors are appointed between annual general meetings.

Governance and Audit Appointments

The company appointed M/s. Kriti Daga, practicing Company Secretaries, as Secretarial Auditors for a five-year term, subject to member approval at the AGM. This appointment aligns with Regulation 24A of the SEBI LODR Regulations, 2015, and Section 204 of the Companies Act, 2013. The Board also approved the Secretarial Audit Report issued by M/s. Kriti Daga for FY25-26.

For the upcoming AGM, M/s. Kriti Daga was also appointed as the Scrutinizer to monitor E-voting and physical voting through OAVM, ensuring a fair and transparent process. The Board fixed the book closure period for the 36th AGM, determining the record date for shareholders eligible to vote and receive dividends.
