The company submitted its Annual Report for FY26 to BSE Limited on September 4, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 34 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The report covers audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, and forms part of the notice for the 38th Annual General Meeting scheduled for September 29, 2026.

Financial performance

The following table summarises the company's key financial results for FY26 compared to FY25.

Total income rose to ₹3,993.32 lakh from ₹3,405.82 lakh. However, other income declined sharply to ₹6.99 lakh from ₹123.31 lakh, the prior year having included a ₹113.87 lakh profit on sale of mutual funds. Profit before tax fell to ₹257.56 lakh from ₹312.60 lakh, and profit after tax declined to ₹184.80 lakh from ₹239.55 lakh. Total expenses rose to ₹3,735.76 lakh from ₹3,093.22 lakh, driven by higher material costs of ₹2,640.50 lakh and employee benefit expenses of ₹439.09 lakh. The board decided not to declare any dividend for FY26, carrying forward the entire profit to augment financial resources.

What the numbers show

The 21% rise in revenue from operations reflects stronger product sales, with plastic bags contributing ₹2,977.66 lakh and laminated films ₹619.81 lakh to total product sales of ₹3,900.53 lakh. The decline in net profit is largely attributable to the absence of the one-time mutual fund sale gain that boosted other income in FY25, alongside higher raw material and operating costs. The net profit ratio contracted to 4.64% from 7.30% in FY25, and return on equity fell to 8.65% from 12.35%, both reflecting the combined effect of lower absolute profit and higher net sales.

Balance sheet highlights

The company remains debt-free, with no borrowings reported. Net cash from operating activities improved to ₹269.07 lakh from ₹123.96 lakh. Capital expenditure during the year stood at ₹224.95 lakh, including additions to plant and machinery of ₹166.61 lakh and vehicles of ₹33.90 lakh. The company commissioned a 602 KW solar plant during the year, expected to save ₹50 lakh annually in energy costs.

The 38th AGM agenda includes adoption of audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, and the reappointment of Mr. Vivek Jain (DIN: 01753065) as a director, who retires by rotation.
