The Board seeks shareholder approval to reappoint Mr. Arun Jain, Mr. Manish Jain, Mr. Pankaj Jain, and Mr. Neeraj Jain as Whole Time Directors for a three-year term effective from October 1, 2026. Additionally, Mr. Neeraj Jain retires by rotation and offers himself for reappointment as a director.
Financial Performance in FY26
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, Cosco reported revenue from operations of ₹18,856.08 lakh, an increase from ₹17,334.37 lakh in the previous year. Total revenue stood at ₹18,978.21 lakh, compared to ₹17,408.13 lakh in FY25.
| Metric | FY26 (₹ in Lakhs) | FY25 (₹ in Lakhs) |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue from operations | 18,856.08 | 17,334.37 |
| Other income | 122.13 | 73.76 |
| Total expenses | 18,897.01 | 17,228.89 |
| Profit before tax | 81.20 | 119.24 |
| Profit after tax | 100.49 | 78.15 |
Profit before tax declined to ₹81.20 lakh from ₹119.24 lakh in the prior year. However, profit after tax rose to ₹100.49 lakh from ₹78.15 lakh, aided by lower total tax expenses of (₹19.29 lakh) against (₹41.09 lakh) previously.
What the Numbers Show
While pre-tax profits contracted, the company reported a higher net profit due to a significant reduction in tax outflows. Total tax expenses improved by approximately ₹21.80 lakh year-on-year, driven largely by higher deferred tax credits of ₹36.13 lakh in FY26 compared to ₹16.22 lakh in FY25. This tax benefit offset the decline in operating profitability.
Director Remuneration Details
The proposed remuneration for the reappointed Whole Time Directors includes a monthly salary of ₹4,40,000 for the year ending March 31, 2027, rising to ₹4,70,000 from April 1, 2027. Allowances will be capped at 50% of the salary. Perquisites include medical coverage, car facilities, and club fees up to ₹1 lakh per annum.
