Asahi Songwon Colors has fixed September 23, 2026, as the record date for its final dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share for FY26. The 15% payout requires shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

The Board of Directors recommended the dividend during its meeting on May 26, 2026. The company scheduled its 36th AGM for September 30, 2026, to be conducted via video conferencing or other audio-visual means.

Director Appointments

The primary agenda includes the adoption of standalone and consolidated financial statements for FY26. Shareholders will vote on the final dividend declaration for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

The Board proposes the appointment of Mr. Sanjay Srivastava as an independent director for five years. He joins from a background in public administration and law enforcement.

Mrs. Paru M. Jaykrishna seeks reappointment as Chairperson and Managing Director for three years starting August 1, 2026. Mr. Gokul M. Jaykrishna is also up for reappointment as Managing Director for a similar tenure.

Mr. Mitesh N. Patel will be reappointed as Executive Director for three years commencing October 25, 2026. The resolutions require special approval by members.

Financial Performance

The company reported standalone total revenue of ₹35,463.39 lakh for FY26. Profit after tax stood at ₹3,121.71 lakh. Earnings per share were recorded at ₹19.05.

In FY25, revenue was ₹39,815.27 lakh with a profit after tax of ₹2,548.87 lakh. EPS for that period was ₹21.62. The dividend recommended for both years is 15%.

What the Numbers Show

Revenue declined approximately 11% in FY26 compared to FY25. However, net profit increased by roughly 22% over the same period. This divergence suggests improved cost management or margin expansion despite lower top-line growth.
