Physical Community Meeting – 21 February 2026

Every plot holder invested hard-earned money in BBCL with one simple expectation: to receive a properly developed plot. Today, many of us are asking a serious question — why is there still no visible progress? This article explains, in simple language, why restructuring the Board of Directors is not about conflict, but about survival of the project.

👉 No one will protect your land more than you. No outside authority will fight for your investment if you do not.

Silence maintains deadlock. Participation creates progress. Choose wisely.

21st February is observed as Language Day — a day that reminds us how people once stood united to protect their right to speak in their mother tongue. It symbolizes courage, voice, and collective awareness. On this meaningful day, we are gathering not for protest, but for responsibility. Just as language represents identity, our land represents our future security. This is an opportunity to speak your mind, to move beyond silence, and to participate consciously in decisions that protect your investment. History teaches us that silence delays progress — participation shapes it.

Why Reconstructing the Board of Directors Is the Only Way Forward?

A public limited company cannot function without an active Board.

If the Board is:

  • Not communicating,
  • Not executing,
  • Not expanding leadership,
  • Not building momentum,

Then the company slows down. And when a company slows down near a Court deadline, the risk increases.

This is not about blaming anyone.

This is about facing reality before it is too late.


A Short Background: How We Reached Here

During the insolvency process, 25 plot holders approached the NCLT court on behalf of 632 plot holders. They requested that the land be handed over to the plot holders so that we could complete development ourselves.

On 02.08.2023, the NCLT passed an order:

  • The land would be developed by the plot holders.
  • A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) would be formed.
  • A timeline of 3 years was given.
  • The project must be completed by 01.08.2026.

Following this order, a public limited company — Baruipur Bloomfield City Limited (BBCL) — was formed as the SPV.

Nine directors were appointed to run the company. From that point onward:

  • The 25 applicants became ordinary plot holders.
  • The Directors became the only legally authorised decision-makers.

This is important to understand: In a public limited company, only the Board of Directors can take official decisions.


Where Are We Now?

Nearly two and a half years have passed since the NCLT order.

Many plot holders feel:

  • Development work has not started.
  • Communication is irregular.
  • Share issuance and compliance are incomplete.
  • There is no clear roadmap with timelines.

After the August 2025 General Meeting, the Board reduced from nine directors to five.

Since then, visible progress has slowed further.

This has created a deadlock.

Deadlock does not mean bad intention. It means lack of movement.

But when a court deadline is approaching, lack of movement becomes a risk.


Why Time Matters Now

We have only a few months left before the court deadline of 01.08.2026.

If we later approach the court for extension, the court will ask:

  • What work has been completed?
  • What progress has been shown?
  • What governance structure is active?

If we cannot show measurable action, extension becomes difficult.

This is not fear. This is practical reality.


Why Restructuring the Board Is Necessary

Restructuring does not mean attacking anyone.

It means:

  • Adding active members.
  • Increasing energy and manpower.
  • Sharing responsibility.
  • Restoring confidence.

A public limited company must have:

  • An active Board.
  • Regular communication.
  • Clear decisions.
  • Documented action.

If some directors are busy or unable to devote sufficient time, the responsible solution is to expand the Board and include new active members.

Many plot holders have already expressed willingness to serve.

Without Board approval, nothing moves.

That is why restructuring is not emotional — it is structural.


What Happens If We Do Nothing?

If the Board remains small and inactive:

  • No major decision can be executed.
  • No formal agreements can be signed.
  • No compliance can be completed.
  • No development can start.

In that case, the company becomes legally paralysed.

And paralysis under a court deadline is dangerous.


What Is the Proposed Path?

  1. Propose inclusion of 6–7 active plot holders as new directors.
  2. Request the current Board to approve this expansion.
  3. If required, seek guidance from the Monitoring Authority.
  4. If no cooperation is received, explore lawful remedies as a last option.

Legal action is not preferred. We are future neighbours.

But safeguarding 632 families’ investments must come first.


Why Silent Majority Must Now Decide

Most plot holders do not attend meetings. Most do not speak in groups.

But silence is also a choice.

If you remain silent:

  • Others will decide for you.
  • You must accept the outcome.

If you participate:

  • You protect your investment.
  • You strengthen your collective voice.

This is not about personalities. It is about governance.


Upcoming Physical Meeting

📍 Saturday, 21 February 2026 (Time and venue will be shared shortly)

Agenda:

  • Land excavation concerns
  • Restructuring of the Board
  • Clear 30-day action plan before the next meeting on 14 March 2026

This meeting is important.

While online meetings continue to be our preferred format for regular discussions, this particular situation calls for a physical meeting to ensure clear understanding, collective alignment, and responsible decision-making.


Final Thought

No one will protect your land more than you.

No outside authority will fight for your investment if you do not.

Reconstructing the Board is not rebellion. It is responsibility.

We have a deadline. We have legal control. We have willing members.

What we need now is action.

The decision belongs to the majority.

Silence maintains deadlock. Participation creates progress.

Choose wisely.

Closing Note

All plot holders are encouraged to participate constructively and share their views calmly. Collective discussion and mutual understanding are essential for moving forward together as a community.
