KN Agri Resources disclosed that its promoters and promoter group have not created any encumbrance on equity shares during the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The declaration, submitted to the National Stock Exchange of India Limited on April 7, 2026, confirms that no shares were pledged directly or indirectly by the promoters or persons acting in concert (PAC) throughout FY26.

The filing was made in compliance with Regulation 31(4) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. Vijay Shrishrimal, a Promoter of the company, provided the declaration on behalf of all promoters and members of the promoter group.

The disclosure identifies six key promoters associated with the entity. The list includes individual promoters and corporate entities holding significant stakes in the company.

Promoter Details

The confirmation of zero encumbrance indicates that the promoters' shareholding remains free from pledges or liens, which is a key governance metric for investors. The company's registered office is located in Raipur, Chhattisgarh.

KN Agri Resources reported a 14.09% decline in standalone profit after tax (PAT) to ₹31.70 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, compared to ₹36.90 crore in FY25. Revenue from operations rose 4.91% to ₹1,809.62 crore for FY26, driven by a 48% jump in Branded Retail Sales and a 38% increase in Lecithin sales. The company attributed the earnings decline to the West Asia conflict, which restricted soybean imports and increased ocean freight, local freight, and packaging costs.

The Board of Directors approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for FY26 at its meeting held on May 30, 2026. Vijay Shrishrimal, Managing Director, noted that the company achieved its highest ever soybean crushing despite inconsistent supply. For Q4 FY26, revenue decreased by 3% year-on-year to ₹480.97 crore, while PAT fell 20.26% to ₹12.63 crore due to geopolitical volatility.

Financial Performance

The company’s EBITDA for FY26 stood at ₹58.18 crore, a decline of 9.71% from ₹64.44 crore in the previous year, with EBITDA margins contracting to 3.21%. Total expenses for the year increased, impacting profitability. The Agri Commodities segment remained the primary revenue driver, while the Power segment reported a loss.
