AGM Agenda and Corporate Governance Matters
The 39th Annual General Meeting scheduled for August 25, 2026, features several key resolutions requiring shareholder approval. These include the re-appointment of Mrs. Ishita Bose as Independent Director for a 5-year term, revision of remuneration for CFO Mr. Mukesh Bengani due to the company's inadequate profits despite the turnaround, and approval of material related party transactions with fellow subsidiary Bengal Energy Limited aggregating ₹500 crores for FY27. The board also recommends the appointment of M/s. Patangi & Co. as cost auditors for FY27.
Operational and Strategic Developments
The turnaround was driven by higher production volumes, improved plant efficiency, process improvements, sharper inventory management (reduced to 88 days from 102 days), and disciplined cost control. The company continues investing in raw material handling systems and waste heat recovery projects. CARE Ratings reaffirmed the credit rating at 'CARE BBB; Stable' for long-term facilities, reflecting the improved financial position.
Corporate Structure and Leadership
The board comprises Mr. Radhey Shyam Jalan (Chairman & Managing Director), Mr. Mukesh Bengani (Director (Finance) & CFO), and three independent directors. Mr. Bengani retires by rotation and is eligible for re-appointment. The company maintained strong corporate governance practices with four board meetings during the year and all auditor reports containing no qualifications.
Related Party Transactions and Compliance
Material RPTs with Bengal Energy Limited, which became a fellow subsidiary through an NCLT-sanctioned scheme in August 2025, provide operational synergies and supply chain efficiencies. These transactions, which include sale/purchase of raw materials and auxiliary services, represented significant volumes in FY26 (sales: ₹5,205.37 lakhs, purchases: ₹21,877.64 lakhs) and received proper audit committee approvals.
Forward Outlook
While the company has returned to profitability, it retains profits for working capital requirements and did not declare a dividend for FY26. The management remains focused on maintaining operational efficiencies, cost discipline, and strategic investments to sustain the turnaround momentum amid industry cyclicality and competitive pressures.
