Dhanlaxmi Cotex Limited reported a narrowed net loss of ₹51.99 lakhs for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), compared to a net loss of ₹74.59 lakhs in the corresponding period of the previous year. The improvement was driven by a significant surge in revenue from operations, which rose to ₹584.17 lakhs from ₹158.45 lakhs in Q1FY26, reflecting heightened activity in its trading segments. This performance marks a step toward stabilizing the company’s operational efficiency, although it continues to operate at a net loss.

Total income for the quarter stood at ₹596.40 lakhs, up from ₹135.28 lakhs in Q1FY26. However, total expenses increased to ₹647.87 lakhs from ₹209.82 lakhs, primarily due to higher purchases of stock-in-trade (₹448.75 lakhs) and an increase in stock-in-trade value (₹138.84 lakhs). Depreciation and amortisation expenses also rose to ₹12.02 lakhs from ₹2.52 lakhs. Despite the revenue growth, the company reported a profit before tax loss of ₹51.47 lakhs.

Alongside the financial results, the Board recommended the re-appointment of Mrs. Payal Ankur Bankda (DIN: 09483787) as a Director, who retires by rotation and is eligible for re-appointment. The Board also approved the notice for the company's 40th Annual General Meeting, scheduled for September 29, 2026, at 11:30 A.M. via VC/OAVM. The Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from September 22, 2026, to September 29, 2026. M/s. Pankaj Trivedi & Co. (COP: 15301) has been appointed as the Scrutinizer for the e-voting process. The cut-off date for remote e-voting is September 22, 2026.

The unaudited financial results were reviewed by DAC & Co., Chartered Accountants (Firm Registration No.: 137035W), pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The results were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Dhanlaxmi Cotex Limited will hold its 40th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. via Online Audio Video Conferencing (OAVM/VC). Shareholders eligible to vote must hold equity shares as of the cut-off date of September 22, 2026. The e-voting facility will be open from September 26, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. until September 28, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., providing a three-day window for remote participation before the meeting commences.

The company submitted the calendar of events to the Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd on August 11, 2026, pursuant to Section 91 of the Companies Act, 2013, and Regulation 42 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. Mahesh S. Jhawar, Managing Director, authorized the functional director responsible for the process on the same day. A scrutinizer was appointed on August 11, 2026, and provided consent on August 10, 2026, to oversee the voting proceedings and ensure compliance with regulatory norms.

Key Dates and Procedural Timeline

The deemed venue for the meeting remains the company’s registered office at 285, Princess Street, Jhavar House, Mumbai. This location is relevant for any legal notices or formal communications related to the proceedings. The scrutinizer is required to submit their report by October 1, 2026, after which the Chairman will declare the results and take custody of the e-voting register.

What This Means for Investors

Investors must ensure their holdings are reflected in their demat accounts or physical folios by September 22, 2026, to qualify for voting rights. Shares transferred after this date will not confer eligibility for the 40th AGM. Once eligible, shareholders can cast their votes electronically during the specified window from September 26 to September 28. The OAVM/VC mode allows for remote participation, reducing the need for physical presence while maintaining the legal validity of the resolutions passed.

Compliance and Oversight

The appointment of an independent scrutinizer ensures transparency in the voting process. The scrutinizer’s consent on August 10, 2026, precedes the board’s authorization on August 11, 2026, aligning with standard corporate governance practices. The timeline for dispatching notices—by September 7, 2026—and publishing details in newspapers—by September 8, 2026—provides adequate notice to shareholders ahead of the e-voting commencement.
