Century Plyboards (India) Ltd has closed its trading window for all Directors, Designated Persons, and their immediate relatives effective July 1, 2026. The restriction is implemented to comply with SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 and the company's internal Code of Conduct to regulate, monitor, and report trading by Designated Persons. The window will remain shut until 48 hours after the Board of Directors announces the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The closure prevents insiders from trading in the company's securities during the period leading up to the financial results announcement. This is a standard procedural measure to ensure that no insider trading takes place when unpublished price-sensitive information is likely to be in circulation. The specific date for the Board Meeting to consider these financial results has not yet been announced and will be intimated in due course.

The company's Code of Conduct mandates that the trading window be closed during such periods to maintain market integrity. The reopening of the window is contingent upon the expiry of the 48-hour period following the results declaration, allowing sufficient time for the information to be assimilated by the market.

Century Plyboards (India) Ltd has scheduled a postal ballot to seek shareholder approval for the appointment of Dr. Rakesh Kumar Jain as an Independent Director. The resolution proposes a tenure of five years, concluding on May 21, 2031, subject to the approval of members through a special resolution. The company submitted newspaper publications to the exchanges on June 2, 2026, confirming the completion of dispatch for the Postal Ballot Notice and e-voting information in compliance with MCA and SEBI Circulars.
