Financial Performance Update

For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, Ajanta Soya reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹837.53 crore, a significant decline from ₹2,714.56 crore in the previous year. Total income stood at ₹1,31,464.41 crore, compared to ₹1,33,849.22 crore in FY25.

The decline in profitability was primarily driven by increased total expenditure despite a marginal dip in revenue. The company's reserves and surplus increased to ₹14,575.88 crore from ₹13,738.35 crore in the previous year.

Key AGM Resolutions

The AGM agenda includes several key resolutions:

• Re-appointment of Mr. Arun Tyagi as a Director.
• Ratification of remuneration for Cost Auditors for FY27.
• Approval for related party transaction regarding remuneration for Ms. Prachi Goyal.
• Re-appointment of Mr. Sushil Kumar Goyal as Managing Director and Mr. Abhey Goyal as Whole Time Director.

Ajanta Soya reported a standalone net profit of ₹783.14 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY26), reversing the net loss of ₹119.09 lakh posted in the previous quarter. The company’s total income from operations was ₹33,039.69 lakh, showing modest growth compared to ₹31,207.69 lakh in the corresponding period of FY25.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results in a meeting held on August 13, 2026. The results were subsequently published in Financial Express (Mumbai and Delhi editions) and Jansatta on August 14, 2026, in compliance with Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Financial Performance

Total income from operations increased slightly to ₹33,039.69 lakh from ₹31,207.69 lakh in Q1FY25. For the full fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, total income stood at ₹1,30,767.05 lakh.

Net profit before tax rose to ₹1,030.14 lakh in Q1FY26, compared to ₹223.68 lakh in the same quarter last year. After-tax net profit climbed to ₹783.14 lakh from ₹177.99 lakh year-on-year. Earnings per share (basic and diluted) were ₹0.97 each, up from ₹0.22 in Q1FY25.

Reserves (excluding revaluation reserve) stood at ₹15,187.84 lakh as on March 31, 2026, an increase from ₹14,274.47 lakh as on March 31, 2025. Equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹1,609.66 lakh.

What the Numbers Show

The sharp recovery in profitability is notable given the near-flat revenue growth. While total income grew by approximately 5.9% year-on-year, net profit before tax expanded by over 360%. This divergence suggests significant improvement in operating margins or cost efficiencies during the quarter, allowing the company to convert stable top-line performance into substantially higher bottom-line gains compared to the prior year period.
