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 Hemant Bakshi as CEO Designate from October 13, 2025 and as Managing Director and Global CEO from January 1, 2026 for five years, subject to shareholder approval. Anand Kripalu will retire as MD and Global CEO on December 31, 2025, remain an executive director through March 31, 2026, then serve as a non-executive, non-independent director from April 1, 2026, subject to shareholder approval.
The handover supports continuity, and Bakshi's consumer industry experience may aid growth. Shareholders must approve his five-year term.
