Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited (ISIN INE647O01011) proposed issuing 312,950,000 stock options, equal to 2.50 percent of fully diluted equity, under its Employee Stock Option Scheme 2026. The postal ballot notice dated October 3, 2026 was reported by ScanX.

What does the ESOP proposal add?

The proposed scheme would allow options equal to 2.50 percent of paid-up equity on a fully diluted basis. Voting opened on October 4, 2026 and closes on November 2, 2026, while results are due by November 4, 2026, according to ScanX. The proposal therefore links the near-term corporate calendar to a potentially larger employee ownership pool.

Three recent corporate steps

On September 17, 2026, Aditya Birla Digital Fashion Ventures bought the remaining 15.62 percent of Imperial Online Services, lifting ownership from 84.38 percent to 100 percent. Franchise India reported that Imperial posted turnover of INR 1.2 billion in fiscal year 2026, compared with INR 779.3 million in fiscal year 2025. On October 3, 2026, ABFRL issued the postal ballot notice, followed by a September 30, 2026 quarter-end compliance certificate listed on the company investor page on October 8, 2026, according to Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail.

Dates for shareholders

The next stated dates are November 2, 2026, when postal-ballot voting closes, and November 4, 2026, when the results are due. The company investor calendar also places the quarter and six-month reporting period ending September 30, 2026 in the October and November 2026 window, according to Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail.

Revenue growth meets a loss

StockFin reported revenue of INR 20.3 billion and a net loss of INR 2.2 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, with the figures updated on October 19, 2026. The contrast keeps operating execution and profitability central to the stock story, even as the ESOP vote adds a governance milestone.
