Bajaj Auto Announces Buyback of 46.94 Lakh Shares & Re-appointment of Director
Bajaj Auto is seeking shareholder approval for a buyback of up to 46.94 lakh equity shares at ₹12,000 per share, for a total of ₹5,632.80 crore. Additionally, Shri Pradeep Shrivastava is proposed for re-appointment as Executive Director for five years from April 1, 2026. E-voting will take place from May 18 to June 16, 2026.
A significant share buyback program can directly impact the company's stock price and financial ratios. The re-appointment of a key director also has implications for corporate governance and future strategy.
The announcement of a share buyback indicates a positive outlook from the company regarding its financial health and a commitment to returning value to shareholders. The re-appointment of a director also suggests stability and continuity in leadership.
Bajaj Auto Limited has initiated a postal ballot process to seek shareholder approval for two significant proposals. The first is a buyback of up to 46,94,000 equity shares, representing approximately 1.68% of the total equity share capital. The buyback will be conducted through the "Tender Offer" route at a price of ₹12,000 per share, with an aggregate amount of up to ₹5,632.80 crore. This buyback size is within the statutory limit of 25% of the company's aggregate fully paid-up equity share capital and free reserves as of March 31, 2026. The company has engaged KFin Technologies Limited for the e-voting facility, which will commence on May 18, 2026, and conclude on June 16, 2026.
The second item on the agenda is the re-appointment of Shri Pradeep Shrivastava as Whole-time Director, designated as Executive Director, for a period of five years effective from April 1, 2026, until March 31, 2031. This re-appointment is subject to the approval of the shareholders and is in accordance with the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI regulations.
The notice for the postal ballot, along with the explanatory statement, was dispatched via email to members as of the cut-off date, May 8, 2026. The results of the postal ballot are expected to be declared by June 18, 2026.
