JSW Dulux Limited (recently rebranded from Akzo Nobel India) held a board meeting on 23rd March 2026 with several key decisions. The board appointed Mr. Kaustubh Kulkarni (Group Head – Banking, M&A and Strategic Financing at JSW Steel) as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director, and Ms. Sutapa Banerjee (a veteran financial services leader with directorships at Eternal, Godrej Properties, Polycab, etc.) as an Independent Woman Director for a 3-year term. The board also approved the 'JSW Dulux Limited – Employee Stock Option Scheme 2026' (ESOP 2026) covering 3,75,124 equity shares, to be granted to employees of the company, its subsidiaries, and holding company at market price, with a vesting period of 1–5 years. A postal ballot (e-voting only) has been proposed for 8 special business items, including regularization of the new directors, alteration of Articles of Association, ESOP scheme approval, and secondary acquisition of shares through a Trust route.
Shareholders will soon get to vote on these changes via postal ballot. The new JSW Group-affiliated director signals stronger promoter oversight following the Akzo Nobel to JSW Dulux rebranding. The ESOP 2026 will result in a small equity dilution (up to ~3.75 lakh shares), aimed at employee retention and alignment with the new parent group's structure.
