OBCL Limited has scheduled its 31st Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 11:00 am. The meeting will be held in physical mode at the company’s corporate office in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Shareholders on record as of September 9, 2026, are eligible to vote via remote e-voting or ballot paper.
Key Agenda Items
The primary focus of the AGM includes the adoption of the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Beyond routine business, the Board has proposed several special resolutions aimed at strengthening the company’s capital structure and governance framework.
Enhancement of Borrowing Powers
A critical resolution seeks to enhance the company’s borrowing limits under Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013. The Board proposes authorizing total outstanding borrowings of up to ₹250 crore. This limit applies to monies borrowed apart from temporary loans obtained from bankers in the ordinary course of business. The funds are intended for capital expenditure, working capital requirements, asset acquisitions, refinancing existing debt, and other general corporate purposes.
Concurrently, the company seeks approval under Section 180(1)(a) to create mortgages, charges, hypothecation, or pledges on its movable and immovable assets. This security creation is capped at an aggregate amount of ₹250 crore, aligning with the enhanced borrowing limit. These resolutions are designed to provide the Board with the flexibility to secure financial assistance as needed for future expansion and operational needs.
Director Reappointments
The AGM will also see the reappointment of two key board members:
- Mrs. Shakuntala Devi Agrawal: Retiring by rotation, she offers herself for reappointment as a Non-Executive Director. The Board has also recommended payment of commission to her, subject to shareholder approval, within the limits prescribed under Section 197 of the Companies Act, 2013.
- Mr. Ashish Dakalia: The Independent Director is eligible for reappointment for a second term of five consecutive years, commencing October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2031. He meets the independence criteria under Section 149(6) of the Act and SEBI LODR Regulations.

Shareholders can cast their votes electronically through the Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) platform. The remote e-voting period begins on Friday, September 11, 2026, at 11:00 am and concludes on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at 5:00 pm.
