Ceeta Industries Ltd informed BSE in a filing dated October 3, 2026, that its independent director, Bal Krishna Bhalotia, had passed away on October 1, 2026. The company said it received intimation of his death on October 3, two days after his passing.

The disclosure described his death as sudden and expressed sorrow over the loss. Bhalotia had served as an independent director since August 14, 2019, giving him a tenure of more than seven years on the company's board.

Ceeta Industries submitted the information under Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The exchange announcement identifies the company by its BSE scrip code 514171.

Board tenure and company tribute

In its filing, Ceeta Industries said Bhalotia had played a significant role in the company's strategic growth and governance during his tenure. It described his unexpected demise as an irreparable loss to the company.

The company's directors and employees expressed deep sympathy, sorrow and condolences to his family. The disclosure focused on his service as an independent director and the formal reporting of his death to the exchange.

The accompanying annexure identified Bhalotia by Director Identification Number 00049850. It recorded death as the reason for the board change and specified October 1, 2026, as the date of cessation. That date is distinct from October 3, when the company said it learned of his passing and submitted its disclosure.

Details submitted to BSE

The annexure provided the director-change particulars with reference to Regulation 30 and the SEBI circular dated January 30, 2026, cited in the filing. It marked the brief profile and disclosure of relationships between directors as not applicable; both fields were identified as relating to a director's appointment.

Smally Agarwal, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, signed the communication on behalf of Ceeta Industries. The company enclosed the annexure with its letter and requested BSE to take the information on record.
