SKP Bearing Industries Limited has scheduled an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on June 30, 2026, to seek shareholder approval for the appointment of Mr. Gautam Ganguli as an Independent Director. The meeting will be held through Video Conferencing and Other Audio-Visual Means (VC/OAVM) at 4:00 p.m. IST. The resolution also seeks approval for Mr. Ganguli’s continuation in office after he attains the age of 75 years, ensuring his tenure extends until March 31, 2031.
Mr. Gautam Ganguli was initially appointed as an Additional Director in the category of Non-Executive Independent Director effective April 1, 2026. Under Section 161(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, his tenure as an Additional Director is valid up to the date of this EGM. The company has received the necessary consents and declarations from Mr. Ganguli, including confirmation of his independence and that he is not disqualified from being appointed as a director.
The Board of Directors recommends the appointment, citing Mr. Ganguli's qualifications and extensive experience in finance and compliance. He is a qualified Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary with nearly five decades of experience, having previously served as the Company Secretary of Kesoram Industries Limited. He currently serves as the Chairman of the Audit Committee, Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and Stakeholders' Relationship Committee.
In accordance with Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, a special resolution is required to appoint or continue a non-executive director who has attained the age of 75 years. Mr. Ganguli is currently 73 years old and will turn 75 during the proposed term. Consequently, the EGM will vote on a special resolution to approve both his appointment and his tenure extension.
