Chaman Lal Setia Exports has submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, detailing its operational performance and ESG compliance under SEBI regulations.

The Amritsar-based rice exporter reported a total turnover of ₹13,999.91 crore for FY26. Profit after tax stood at ₹1,147.79 crore. Exports contributed 91% of the total turnover, underscoring the company’s heavy reliance on international markets across more than 95 countries.

Financial Overview

The company’s net worth was reported at ₹75,799.17 lakh, excluding revaluation reserves. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending accounted for 3.15% of the profit after tax. The entity operates on a standalone basis with no subsidiaries, holding companies, or joint ventures.

What the Numbers Show

The data reveals a significant divergence between revenue scale and related-party transaction volume. While total sales reached nearly ₹14,000 crore, sales to related parties amounted to only ₹484.96 crore, representing just 3.46% of total sales. This is a notable reduction from 7.69% in FY25, suggesting a deliberate shift toward independent market channels or a restructuring of internal supply dynamics.

Stakeholder Engagement

The company resolved all 17 shareholder complaints received during the year, with none pending at year-end. One employee grievance was also addressed satisfactorily. The board comprises eight directors, with women holding 37.5% of the seats. Key Management Personnel includes one female member, indicating full gender representation at that level.

Environmental Metrics

Total energy consumption from non-renewable sources was 93,703.65 million joules, while renewable sources contributed 35.09 million joules. Scope 1 emissions totaled 179.86 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent, and Scope 2 emissions were 2,227.31 metric tonnes. The company generated 198.85 metric tonnes of waste, primarily plastic, all of which was recycled through authorized vendors.

Water withdrawal increased to 16,236.61 kiloliters from ground sources, up from 10,904.5 kiloliters in the previous year. The company asserts it does not operate in ecologically sensitive areas and complies with all applicable environmental laws.

Chaman Lal Setia Exports reported a 48% year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹319.87 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by a 13% rise in total income from operations to ₹3,459.20 lakh. The growth underscores sustained demand for its flagship Maharani Basmati Rice brand and efficient cost management during the period. This performance marks a significant improvement from the previous year’s quarter, where net profit stood at ₹216.45 lakh.

The company filed its unaudited standalone financial results with the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange on August 08, 2026, under Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The results were also published in the newspapers Business Standard and Jag Bani on the same date. Rajeev Setia, Joint Managing Director & CFO, signed off on the financial statement dated August 06, 2026.

Financial Performance

Total income from operations decreased 19% quarter-on-quarter from ₹4283.70 lakh in Q4FY26 but remained significantly higher than the ₹3072.65 lakh recorded in Q1FY25. The net profit before tax stood at ₹427.47 lakh, compared to ₹515.37 lakh in the preceding quarter. Equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹99.45 lakh.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between the quarterly revenue decline and the strong year-on-year profit growth highlights seasonal variations typical in the agricultural export sector. While Q4FY26 saw peak operational income, likely due to harvest cycles or export shipment schedules, the current quarter’s profitability remained robust against the prior year’s baseline. The consistent earnings per share trajectory, rising from ₹4.35 in Q1FY25 to ₹6.44 in Q1FY26, indicates improved capital efficiency despite lower sequential revenues.
