Mcleod Russel India informed the exchanges about two key decisions taken at its board meeting on April 27, 2026. First, the board appointed Mr. Pradip Bhar as an Additional Director and Whole-Time Director designated as CFO for three years, effective the same date. Mr. Bhar, 68, was already the company's Senior VP & CFO since 2020, so this represents an internal elevation rather than a new external hire. Second, the company signed three MoUs to sell its Nya Gogra, Rupajuli, and Boroi tea estates in Assam for a combined expected value of about Rs. 88.85 crore, to be used for part-payment of debt as part of a restructuring plan approved by NARCL (acting through IDRCL) on April 2, 2026. The three estates together contributed roughly 6% of the company's turnover in FY25. The buyers — Bengal Tea & Fabrics, Khona Tea Estate LLP, and Jatinga Agro-Tech — are not related to the promoter group. Definitive sale agreements are expected by May 30, 2026, subject to shareholder and other approvals.
The asset sales are a positive step toward reducing the company's debt burden under the NARCL-led restructuring, which should strengthen the balance sheet. Continuity in financial leadership with the CFO's elevation provides stability during this debt resolution phase. Shareholders should watch for shareholder approval under Regulation 37A and the final completion of the sales by end-May 2026.
