On the reaction day the stock moved 0.2 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and in line with its Packaging peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
EPL's board approved a leadership transition. Anand Kripalu will retire as managing director and global CEO on December 31, 2025, serve as an executive director until March 31, 2026, and join as a non-executive, non-independent director from April 1, subject to shareholder approval. Hemant Bakshi joins as CEO Designate on October 13 and will become managing director and global CEO on January 1, 2026 for five years, subject to shareholder approval.
Smooth succession may reassure shareholders, but strategy and performance will now depend on the incoming CEO, subject to shareholder approval.
