Ganesh Consumer Products Limited has set August 14, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholder entitlement to the final dividend for Financial Year 2026. This announcement ensures that investors holding equity shares on this specific date will be eligible to receive the dividend payout, provided it is approved by shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). For retail and institutional investors, tracking this date is critical to maintaining dividend rights, as any share transfers completed after this cutoff will not carry forward the dividend claim for FY26.

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company filed the notice with both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) on August 4, 2026. The filing also included notifications to National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL), and the company’s registrar and transfer agent, MUFG Intime India Private Limited.

Dividend Entitlement Details

The record date applies to the company’s equity shares, which have a paid-up value of ₹10 per share. The total paid-up capital stands at ₹40,41,29,460. The final dividend amount per share has not been specified in this filing; only the mechanism for determining eligible shareholders has been communicated. The actual dividend declaration remains contingent upon the resolution passed by members at the forthcoming AGM.

Key Dates and Compliance

The record date of August 14, 2026, falls on a Friday, which is standard practice to allow for settlement cycles and administrative processing over the weekend. Investors looking to benefit from the dividend must ensure their holdings are reflected in the depository records before the close of business on this date.

Narendra Mishra, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer of Ganesh Consumer Products Limited, signed the disclosure. The company’s registered office is located in Trinity Tower, Kolkata. Previously known as Ganesh Grains Limited, the firm continues to operate under its current legal name for all regulatory filings.

What This Means for Shareholders

For existing shareholders, no action is required other than ensuring they hold the shares in their demat accounts on August 14, 2026. New buyers must complete transactions well in advance of this date to account for T+1 settlement norms, ensuring the transfer is registered by the cutoff time. If the AGM fails to approve the dividend, no payout will occur despite the record date being set. Investors should monitor subsequent announcements regarding the exact dividend per share amount and the ex-dividend date, which typically precedes the record date by one trading day.

Ganesh Consumer Products reported a 31.4% year-on-year surge in net profit to ₹125.19 crore for the first quarter of FY27 (Q1FY27), ending June 30, 2026, driven by significant cost reductions even as revenue contracted by 7.1%. The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on August 04, 2026, alongside the appointment of KPMG Assurance and Consulting Services LLP as the internal auditor for FY27, reinforcing governance structures following its recent initial public offering.

The company’s profit before tax rose 31.1% to ₹167.93 crore, supported by a sharp decline in finance costs and other expenses. Earnings per share (EPS) increased to ₹3.14 from ₹2.62 in the corresponding period of FY26. The statutory auditors, Singhi & Co., conducted a limited review of the financial statements in accordance with Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2410. The results were prepared under Indian Accounting Standard 34 (Ind AS 34).

Operational Efficiency Drives Margin Expansion

The divergence between revenue decline and profit growth underscores a notable improvement in operating margins. While revenue fell primarily due to lower sales volumes or pricing pressures, total expenses decreased by 9.3% to ₹1,735.52 crore. Finance costs dropped sharply by 85.3% to ₹5.69 crore from ₹38.57 crore in Q1FY26, likely reflecting the repayment of borrowings using IPO proceeds. Other expenses also declined by 4.8% to ₹286.83 crore. This cost discipline allowed the company to expand its net profit margin from 4.7% in Q1FY26 to 6.6% in Q1FY27.

Governance and Appointments

Alongside the financial results, the Board approved key governance appointments:

• Internal Auditor: KPMG Assurance and Consulting Services LLP (LLPIN: AAT-0367) was appointed as the Internal Auditor for FY27 based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee. The firm has no relationship with the company’s directors or key managerial personnel.
• Secretarial Auditor: Prachi Bhartia, Company Secretaries (C.P No. 22964), was appointed as Secretarial Auditor for five consecutive years, from FY27 to FY31, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

These appointments were disclosed pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read with SEBI Master Circular No. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFDPOD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026.

IPO Proceeds Utilization

Since its IPO in September 2025, which raised ₹4,087.98 crore, the company has utilized ₹732.05 crore of the net proceeds of ₹1,197.11 crore available for corporate purposes. Of this, ₹600 crore was used to repay outstanding borrowings, contributing to the reduced finance costs seen in Q1FY27. Only ₹24.62 crore has been deployed towards the planned capital expenditure for a roasted gram flour unit in Darjeeling, leaving ₹4,253.76 crore unutilised for this purpose. The remaining unutilised funds are parked in fixed deposits and a designated special current bank account.
