Karnimata Cold Storage has scheduled its 15th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 19, 2026. The board approved the draft notice and the annual report for FY26 during its meeting on August 28, 2026.

The meeting will take place at the company’s registered office in West Bengal at 3:00 pm. A key agenda item is the reappointment of Mrs. Asha Ladia as a director.

Financial Performance

For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, the company reported a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹79.44 lakh, remaining flat compared to ₹79.44 lakh in FY25. Revenue from operations declined to ₹451.94 lakh from ₹445.32 lakh in the previous year, though total income fell more sharply to ₹489.20 lakh from ₹526.31 lakh due to a significant drop in other income.

What the Numbers Show

The stability in PAT despite lower total income was driven by reduced finance costs. Interest expenses fell to ₹44.09 lakh from ₹58.88 lakh in FY25, offsetting the decline in other income which dropped by over 50% year-on-year. This indicates improved debt servicing efficiency rather than operational revenue growth as the primary driver of consistent profitability.

Key Dates and Appointments

The register of members and share transfer books will remain closed from September 13, 2026, to September 19, 2026. Both days are inclusive of the closure period.

Mr. Babu Lal Patni, a practising company secretary, was appointed as the scrutinizer for the AGM. His role involves overseeing the voting process to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Board Meeting Details

The board meeting commenced at 11:30 am and concluded at 12:30 pm on August 28, 2026. The disclosures were made in accordance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

The company listed these outcomes on the BSE SME platform. No dividend was recommended for the year ended March 31, 2026, with directors opting to plough back profits for future growth.

Director Reappointment

Mrs. Asha Ladia (DIN: 03504170) retires by rotation and offers herself for reappointment. She has been a Non-Executive Director since April 29, 2011.
