JTL Defence Limited approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for FY26 at its 35th Annual General Meeting held on September 23, 2026. The meeting also ratified key governance changes, including the appointment of two whole-time directors and alterations to the company's object clause to expand defence and space capabilities.
The AGM, conducted via audio-visual means, confirmed the re-appointment of Pranav Singla (DIN: 07898093) as a director liable to retire by rotation. Singla brings over five years of experience in capital markets, accounting, finance, production management, and strategic planning. He is also a cousin of existing director Dhruv Singla.
Director Appointments and Governance
The shareholders approved the appointment of Deevesh Bhojia (DIN: 09148090) as Whole-time Director for a term of five years. Bhojia possesses diverse professional experience in accounts, finance, distribution, and manufacturing operations, including exposure to injection moulding and pharmaceutical manufacturing units. Like Singla, he is a cousin of Dhruv Singla.
Both appointments were recommended by the Board on August 29, 2026, and subsequently approved by members. The company confirmed that neither appointee is debarred from holding office by any SEBI order or other authority.
Expansion of Business Scope
A significant portion of the agenda focused on altering the Object Clause of the Memorandum of Association. Shareholders approved the insertion of new sub-clauses (23 through 27) to formalize and expand the company's operational scope in high-value sectors.
| New Sub-Clause | Primary Focus Area |
|---|---|
| 23 | Defence and Space sector engineering, including rocket, missile, electronic warfare, naval systems, and drones |
| 24 | Electro Magnetics Shielding solutions (EMI/EMC, EMP, IEMI) |
| 25 | Trade and manufacture using special metals like Titanium, Copper, and Aluminium Bronze |
| 26 | Explosives, ammunition, propellants, and pyrotechnic articles for defence and industrial use |
| 27 | Defence and military equipment, weapon systems, arms, ammunition, and combat vehicles |
These amendments signal a strategic pivot towards comprehensive defence manufacturing and allied industries, moving beyond the company's legacy focus on copper and alloys.
Other Approvals
The AGM also ratified the remuneration of cost auditors for FY27 and approved material related party transactions. The detailed disclosures regarding these items were submitted to BSE Limited in compliance with SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
