Prime Fresh Limited will hold its 19th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on August 19, 2026, to approve a significant increase in its borrowing limits to ₹240 crore under Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013. The meeting, conducted via Video Conferencing (VC) and Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM), also addresses the appointment of new statutory auditors and the ratification of material related party transactions (RPTs) for FY26-27. This mandate is critical for supporting business expansion and strategic investments.
The Board of Directors has proposed the appointment of M/s Keshri & Associates, Chartered Accountants (FRN: 310006E), as statutory auditors for a five-year term ending at the 24th AGM. This follows the completion of a ten-year tenure by the outgoing auditors, M/s O.P. Bhandari & Co. The proposed remuneration for Keshri & Associates is ₹2.5 lakh per annum plus GST. Additionally, shareholders will vote on the re-appointment of Mr. Gurmeet Singh Bhamrah as a Non-Executive Director and the appointment of Mr. Sanjiv Swarup as an Independent Director for a five-year term commencing July 15, 2026.
A critical component of the agenda involves omnibus approvals for RPTs with subsidiaries and associates, including Florens Farming Limited (FFL) and Florens Fresh Supply Solutions Private Limited (FFSSPL). Prime Fresh holds a 53.8% stake in FFL and a 43.81% stake in FFSSPL. The company seeks approval for transactions involving the purchase and sale of goods, loans, advances, and guarantees.

The company also seeks shareholder consent for personal guarantees from Managing Director Mr. Jinen Ghelani and Whole-Time Director Mr. Hiren Ghelani to secure corporate borrowings. These promoters collectively hold 50.75% of the company’s shares. Under Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Board requests authority to provide loans, guarantees, or securities up to ₹240 crore, over and above existing limits.
Remote e-voting will be facilitated by National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) from August 16 to August 18, 2026. The record date for determining voting eligibility is August 12, 2026.
