Cosco (India) Limited has filed its annual report for the financial year 2025-26 with the Bombay Stock Exchange, confirming the convening of its 47th Annual General Meeting. The filing serves as the formal submission of audited financial statements and corporate governance disclosures for the year ended March 31, 2026.

The company will hold its AGM on September 30, 2026, at 12:00 noon via video conferencing. Shareholders on record as of September 23, 2026, are eligible to participate and vote. The Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from September 24 to September 30, 2026, inclusive.

Meeting Agenda and Director Reappointments

The AGM agenda includes the adoption of audited financial statements for FY26. Special resolutions seek the reappointment of 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. Mr. Neeraj Jain also retires by rotation and offers himself for reappointment.

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.

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.

Mr. Arun Jain, Mr. Manish Jain, and Mr. Pankaj Jain each received a base salary of ₹49,20,000 in FY25-26. Mr. Neeraj Jain also received ₹49,20,000 as base salary during the same period.

Cosco (India) Limited reported a strong start to FY27, with revenue and profitability expanding significantly compared to the previous fiscal year. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the company logged total income from operations of ₹5,515.88 lakh, up from ₹5,022.07 lakh in Q1FY25. This represents a 9.8% year-on-year growth in topline figures.

The bottom line saw even sharper improvement. Net profit before tax stood at ₹99.01 lakh, marginally higher than the ₹97.97 lakh recorded in the same quarter last year. After accounting for taxes, net profit for the period reached ₹89.95 lakh, a substantial jump from ₹54.99 lakh in Q1FY25. This translates to a 63.6% year-on-year increase in net profit after tax.

Financial Highlights

Earnings per share (basic and diluted) rose to ₹1.68 per equity share of face value ₹10 each, compared to ₹1.32 in the corresponding quarter of FY26. Total comprehensive income for the period was ₹73.47 lakh, up from ₹55.71 lakh in Q1FY25.

What the Numbers Show

While revenue grew by nearly 10%, the pre-tax profit remained relatively flat at just over 1% growth. However, the significant divergence between pre-tax profit stability and the 63.6% surge in post-tax profit suggests a favorable tax impact or lower tax burden in the current quarter compared to the prior year. This efficiency gain allowed a larger portion of operating profits to flow through to the bottom line.

The Board of Directors approved the standalone unaudited financial results during a meeting held on August 14, 2026. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee beforehand. In compliance with Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the company published the results in English and Hindi dailies on August 15, 2026.
