Burnpur Cement Limited has notified the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited regarding the book closure and record dates for its 40th Annual General Meeting (AGM). The company’s register of members will remain closed from September 16, 2026 to September 22, 2026, both days inclusive, to determine the shareholders eligible to attend and vote at the meeting scheduled for September 22, 2026.

The record date for determining eligible members to cast their votes through e-voting has been fixed as September 15, 2026. Shareholders holding shares on this date will be entitled to participate in the e-voting process ahead of the physical or hybrid AGM proceedings.

Key Dates for Shareholders

The intimation was issued under the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The notice was signed by Punam Kumari Sharma, Company Secretary of Burnpur Cement Limited, on July 30, 2026.

What This Means for Investors

During the book closure period, transfers of shares are not processed. Investors looking to buy shares during this window should note that they will not be eligible to vote in the upcoming AGM unless they hold shares before the record date. Conversely, those selling shares after the record date but before the book closure ends will still retain voting rights for this specific meeting.

Burnpur Cement Limited (BCL) reported a widened standalone net loss of ₹2,156.61 lakh for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to a loss of ₹1,896.04 lakh in the corresponding period of FY25. The deterioration in profitability stems from elevated finance costs of ₹2,114.90 lakh, which accounted for the majority of the total expenses of ₹2,156.61 lakh. With no revenue from operations recorded due to the cessation of production activities, the company’s financial position remains heavily dependent on managing debt obligations and exploring strategic alternatives.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results at a meeting held on July 30, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 and Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The results were reviewed by M/s. Bhagi Bhardwaj Gaur & Co., Chartered Accountants, the statutory auditors of the company. The board also scheduled the fortieth Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 22, 2026, to be conducted via Video Conferencing or Other Audio Visual Means.

Financial Performance Highlights

Operational Status and Going Concern

The company currently has no functional production units. In November 2023, UV Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (UVARCL) sold the entire immovable and movable operational assets of BCL’s Patratu unit to Ultratech Cement Limited through an auction process under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002. Consequently, BCL recorded zero revenue from operations for the quarter.

Management has assessed that it is not reasonably likely to meet its obligations in the normal course of business over the next 12 months. The statutory auditors have raised significant doubts about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, noting that necessary adjustments to asset and liability carrying amounts are not yet ascertainable. Management is exploring opportunities for mergers, acquisitions, or other strategic transactions to sustain the entity.
