Talwalkars Better Value Fitness Limited has issued a comprehensive corporate intimation regarding several key administrative and regulatory changes approved during its Board Meeting held on April 14, 2026. The notice outlines a strategic shift in the company’s registered office address within Mumbai and the formal appointment of a new Statutory Auditor to address pending financial statements. Additionally, the company announced a transition in its secretarial and compliance leadership, alongside the appointment of new internal and secretarial auditors to ensure regulatory adherence following recent legal proceedings.
The Board approved the relocation of the registered office from Bandra West to a new facility at Signature (By Lotus) in Andheri West, Mumbai, effective immediately. M/s. SK Bhavsar & Co. was appointed as the Statutory Auditor for the financial year 2026-27, with the mandate to finalize and sign financial statements that remained pending during the company’s proceedings before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) up until February 26, 2026. Furthermore, the company appointed M/s Pooja M Patel & Associates as Secretarial Auditor for a five-year term and M/s. Kishan Patel & Associates as Internal Auditor for FY 2026-27. In a significant leadership update, Mr. Kamlesh Laxmanbhai Bachani was appointed as the Company Secretary and Compliance Officer following the resignation of Ms. Pooja Jain.
Talwalkars Better Value Fitness Limited operates one of the largest chains of health centers in India, providing a diverse range of fitness services including gyms, spas, aerobics, and health counseling. In 2025, the company was heavily involved in legal restructuring under the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). Significant progress was made in early 2026 following an NCLT order dated February 26, 2026, which led to a complete board reconstitution and the appointment of Mr. Arvind Pradhan Bhanushali as the new Managing Director. These updates represent a “significant transformation” as the company works to resolve its past regulatory and financial bottlenecks while under new leadership.
According to recent financial data available through 2025, the company has faced significant challenges, with reports indicating a poor sales growth of approximately -16.9% over the past five years and a low interest coverage ratio. Historical revenue figures show sharp fluctuations, such as a drop from ₹229.22 Crores in 2016 to ₹49.34 Crores in 2017. In 2025, the company’s debt instruments, specifically its non-convertible debentures, were rated ‘D’ by CARE Ratings, indicating a default or expectation of default. The current shareholding pattern shows public ownership at approximately 66.81%, while promoters hold 32.89%. Notable institutional presence remains minimal, and as of 2025, no major “famous” individual investors were prominently listed in the top shareholding disclosures due to the ongoing restructuring and NCLT proceedings.
