Apt Packaging has announced the book closure period for its 46th Annual General Meeting (AGM). The company’s Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from September 17, 2026, to September 21, 2026.

The AGM is scheduled for September 21, 2026. The meeting will address matters pertaining to the financial year 2025-26. Only shareholders registered in the company’s records as of the close of business on September 21, 2026, will be eligible to attend and vote at the meeting.

Regulatory Disclosure

The intimation was issued pursuant to Regulation 42 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Jyoti Suresh Bajpai, Company Secretary of Apt Packaging Limited, signed the disclosure on August 27, 2026.

Key Dates

Apt Packaging reported a sharp turnaround in its financial performance for FY26, with net profit surging nearly fivefold compared to the previous year. The company posted a net profit of ₹160.63 lakh for the year ended March 31, 2026, up from ₹30.58 lakh in FY25. This represents a year-on-year increase of 494.69%.

Revenue from operations grew by 65.47% to reach ₹2,250.11 lakh, up from ₹1,359.79 lakh in the prior fiscal year. The improvement in profitability was supported by better operational efficiency and higher capacity utilization, as noted in the management discussion and analysis report.

Financial Highlights

The company’s total income stood at ₹2,284.65 lakh, including other income of ₹34.54 lakh. Total expenses rose to ₹2,124.02 lakh from ₹1,399.77 lakh in FY25, driven primarily by increased cost of materials consumed, which jumped to ₹997.41 lakh from ₹527.12 lakh.

Capital Raise and Balance Sheet

During the year, Apt Packaging completed a preferential allotment of 65.50 lakh equity shares at a premium of ₹20 per share. The funds raised were utilized for working capital requirements, expansion, and modernization initiatives. The Board stated that this capital infusion has turned the company’s net worth positive, significantly improving its financial health.

Consequently, finance costs declined to ₹42.69 lakh from ₹68.90 lakh in FY25, reflecting reduced interest burden following debt repayment. The authorized share capital remained unchanged at ₹15 crore, while the paid-up capital increased to ₹11.81 crore.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth and finance cost reduction highlights the impact of the equity raise. While material costs scaled up in line with production volume, the absolute reduction in interest expense contributed directly to the margin expansion. The company did not recommend any dividend for FY26, opting instead to conserve resources to strengthen its financial position.

Corporate Actions

The 46th Annual General Meeting is scheduled for September 21, 2026. Shareholders will vote on the adoption of financial statements, ratification of statutory auditors M/s Gautam N and Associates, and re-appointment of Director Sandeep Machhar. A special resolution seeks approval for related-party transactions with Raila Industrial Corporation Limited, involving corporate borrowing up to ₹50 lakh for working capital purposes.

The statutory auditors issued a qualified opinion on the standalone financial statements. The qualification relates to a GST liability of ₹20.70 lakh for FY19-20, which the company has appealed, and non-provisioning of doubtful debts amounting to ₹11.45 lakh.
