Gabriel India Limited has scheduled its 64th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Wednesday, August 19, 2026, primarily to seek shareholder approval for the acquisition of a 28.99% stake in HL Mando Anand India Private Limited (HMAI). The transaction, valued at up to ₹2,231.03 crore, marks a strategic expansion into steering, braking, and suspension systems, consolidating the Anand Group’s automotive investments under the listed entity. The meeting will also address leadership restructuring, including the appointment of Mahendra K. Goyal as Group CEO and Managing Director.
The acquisition from promoter Asia Investments Private Limited (AIPL) involves purchasing 4,81,34,427 equity shares of HMAI. The consideration will be discharged through a combination of preferential allotment and cash. Gabriel India will issue 1,44,04,204 equity shares at ₹1,305.89 per share, aggregating to ₹1,881.03 crore, with the balance of ₹350 crore paid in cash.

Concurrently, the company seeks approval to adopt new Articles of Association aligned with the Companies Act, 2013, replacing those adopted under the 1956 Act.
Leadership Restructuring
Mahendra K. Goyal, currently a Non-Executive Director, will be redesignated as Executive Director and appointed Group CEO and Managing Director for five years starting July 21, 2026. His annual salary is set at ₹40 million. Atul Jaggi will be redesignated from Managing Director to Managing Director (Ride Control), retaining his tenure until October 17, 2029, with no change in remuneration. These changes reflect the expanded scope of operations following the recent Composite Scheme of Arrangement.
Financial and Governance Updates
The Board proposes reappointing Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP as Statutory Auditors for a second term of five years, with proposed fees of ₹94 lakh per annum for FY2026-27. Cost auditor M/s. Dhananjay V. Joshi & Associates has been appointed for FY2026-27 with remuneration ratified at ₹2,00,000 plus taxes. Shareholders will also vote on enhancing borrowing limits to ₹1,600 crore and investment limits to ₹4,000 crore to support future growth and acquisitions.
What the Numbers Show
The ₹2,231 crore acquisition represents approximately 48% of Gabriel India’s consolidated turnover of ₹46,669.33 crore for FY2025-26, indicating a significant capital allocation toward vertical integration. By acquiring HMAI, which reported a profit after tax of ₹388 crore and turnover of ₹5,425 crore in FY2024-25, Gabriel India aims to capture synergies in ride control and safety systems. The use of equity shares for 84% of the consideration conserves cash resources, though it dilutes public shareholding from 36.45% to 33.71%, remaining above the 25% regulatory threshold.
