11 August 2017 As per the provisions of Companies Act, 2013, if articles authorized the board of directors, they do have the power to appoint additional director, alternate director in the board meeting. whereas if a company wants to appoint as director, it can only be done through general meeting.

if your query specifically related with additional director, then the answer is NO, he/She can be appointed in the board meeting if authorises by articles.
