Cords Cable Industries shareholders approved a final dividend of ₹1.20 per equity share for FY26 during the 35th Annual General Meeting held on September 28, 2026.
The meeting, conducted at the ISKCON Temple in New Delhi, saw members adopt the audited financial statements and reports of the Board and Auditors for FY26. The statutory auditors' report and secretarial audit report were taken as read, as they contained no qualifications or adverse remarks requiring specific explanation.

- Adoption of audited financial statements for FY26.
- Declaration of a final dividend of ₹1.20 per equity share (face value ₹10).
- Re-appointment of Pawan Kumar Maheswari as Whole-time Director.
- Appointment of GVKN & Associates as Statutory Auditors.
- Ratification of remuneration for Cost Auditors S Chander & Associates.

Scrutinizer's report highlights
The consolidated scrutinizer's report confirmed that all resolutions except those related to Dearness Allowance for the two Vice Presidents were passed with the required majority. For the rejected resolutions, promoters and related parties abstained from voting as they hold offices of profit in the company. The voting on these items saw significant opposition from public institutional shareholders, who voted against the proposals.
