Dhunseri Investments Limited has fixed Thursday, August 13, 2026, as the record date for the payment of a dividend of ₹3 per equity share, or 30%, for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from Friday, August 14, 2026, to Thursday, August 20, 2026, for the purpose of the 29th Annual General Meeting and dividend payment. The AGM is scheduled to be held on Thursday, August 20, 2026.
The company had returned to profitability in FY26, reporting a consolidated net profit of ₹4,657.37 lakh compared to a net loss of ₹13,971.73 lakh in the previous year. This turnaround was driven by the Flexible Packaging Film segment and a significant share of profit from equity-accounted investees, which amounted to ₹17,410.30 lakh for the year. Consequently, the Board had recommended the dividend subject to shareholder approval.
Operational Performance
On a consolidated basis, total income for FY26 stood at ₹42,355.91 lakh, a decrease from ₹51,521.88 lakh in the previous year. The Flexible Packaging Film segment remained the largest revenue contributor, generating segment revenue of ₹35,050.69 lakh. The Treasury Operations segment reported a loss of ₹9,882.90 lakh for the year, influenced by fair value changes. The company also reclassified its Food & Beverages segment as a discontinued operation following the loss of control over step-down subsidiary Twelve Cupcakes Pte Limited in October 2025.
Financial Position and Cash Flows
The company’s consolidated assets as of March 31, 2026, totaled ₹5,09,635.47 lakh, an increase from ₹4,41,647.52 lakh in the previous year. This growth was supported by a substantial rise in borrowings to ₹95,103.16 lakh and capital work-in-progress of ₹81,874.20 lakh. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to ₹9,511.20 lakh from ₹14,063.86 lakh, largely due to heavy investing activities which resulted in a net cash outflow of ₹72,543.30 lakh.
Corporate Governance and Appointments
The Board approved the re-appointment of Mrs. Aruna Dhanuka as Managing Director & CEO for a further period of five years effective May 27, 2026, subject to shareholder approval.
