Bhartiya International has confirmed the schedule for its 39th Annual General Meeting (AGM), set for September 28, 2026. The meeting will be held via video conferencing to approve a significant increase in borrowing powers and other governance matters.

Borrowing Powers Enhanced

The Board seeks shareholder approval to increase the company’s borrowing limit from ₹700 crore to ₹1,200 crore. This enhancement aims to support business expansion, working capital requirements, and capital expenditure plans.

Shareholders will also be asked to authorize the creation of mortgages and charges on company assets to secure these borrowings. The existing borrowing limit was approved in September 2014.

Director Appointments and Reappointments

Several director-related resolutions are on the agenda:

  • Mr. Snehdeep Aggarwal retires by rotation and offers himself for reappointment as Non-Executive Chairman.
  • The Board recommends continuing Mr. Deepak Bhojani’s directorship beyond the age of 75 years.
  • Mr. Deepak Bhojani, Mr. Navkiran Singh Ghei, and Mr. Vivek Kapur seek reappointment as Independent Directors for a second five-year term starting August 11, 2027.

Consultant Appointment

The company proposes engaging Mr. Robert Burton Moore Jr. as a consultant for sales advisory and marketing. His professional fees are capped at USD 135,000 for the period from July 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027. This amount represents approximately 0.095% of the company’s annual consolidated turnover.

Meeting Logistics and Book Closure

The AGM is scheduled for September 28, 2026, at 11:00 am IST. The cut-off date for determining eligible members is September 21, 2026. The Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from September 22, 2026, to September 28, 2026.
