Zuari Industries Limited has published the notice for its postal ballot process in newspapers on 30 May 2026. The publication appeared in Business Standard (All India editions, English) and Lokmat Goa (Regional language newspaper). The notice seeks shareholder approval for four key resolutions, including the re-appointment of Mr. Alok Saxena as Executive Director and an increase in the company's borrowing powers.
The remote e-voting facility is scheduled to commence on 30 May 2026 and conclude on 28 June 2026, with the results expected to be announced on or before 30 June 2026. The Board has proposed the re-appointment of Mr. Alok Saxena (DIN: 08640419) as Whole Time Director and Key Managerial Personnel designated as Executive Director for a further period of two years, effective from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028.

The proposed resolution authorizes the Board to borrow monies exceeding the aggregate of the paid-up share capital, free reserves, and securities premium, up to a limit of ₹2,100 crore.
