Nilachal Refractories Ltd. will convene a Board meeting on July 22, 2026, in Kolkata to evaluate and approve the monetization, transfer, or disposal of its assets, which may include the sale of substantially the whole of the undertaking. The proposed transaction encompasses movable assets such as plant and machinery, equipment, inventories, and scrap, potentially executed through structures like a Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) or slump sale.
