Kothari Petrochemicals has confirmed that its raw material supply has been restored to normal levels following government directions to refineries relaxing supply restrictions. The company stated that its operations are expected to continue normally as the temporary constraints arising from geopolitical situations in the Middle East have eased.

Supply Chain Restoration

The lifting of restrictions has resolved the supply-side challenges caused by the diversion of supplies for domestic LPG requirements and the suspension of feedstock supplies to downstream industries. Kothari Petrochemicals reported that the supply position has now normalised, removing the previous hurdles to consistent feedstock access.

Financial Impact and Operations

During the period of constrained raw material availability, the company managed its operations prudently. Kothari Petrochemicals noted that, except for certain variations in raw material prices, the supply constraints did not have any material adverse financial impact on the company.

Kothari Petrochemicals Limited has notified the National Stock Exchange of India regarding the transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Account. The company disclosed that shares corresponding to dividends which have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years are mandated to be transferred to the IEPF. This action is being taken in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016 and subsequent amendments.

The company published a newspaper advertisement on June 05, 2026, in the Financial Express (English) and Makkal Kural (Tamil) to alert equity shareholders about this development. The notice serves as a formal communication to those shareholders who have not claimed or encashed their dividends within the stipulated period. The transfer process is a regulatory requirement aimed at protecting the interests of investors and ensuring that unclaimed corporate benefits are utilized for investor education and protection.

Key Details of the Transfer

The following table outlines the critical aspects of the share transfer process:

Shareholders are strongly encouraged to verify their dividend status and take necessary action to claim any outstanding amounts. The company has made the details of the notice available on its official website. The transfer of shares to the IEPF implies that shareholders will lose their rights over the shares and any associated benefits once the transfer is completed.

Shareholder Action Required

To prevent the transfer of their shares to the IEPF, eligible shareholders must claim their unclaimed dividends immediately. The company has indicated that the deadline for such claims is critical, although the specific date for the final claim was not detailed in the exchange submission. Failure to claim the dividends by the deadline will result in the automatic transfer of the shares to the IEPF Authority's Demat account.

Post-transfer, shareholders can still claim their shares and dividends from the IEPF Authority, but they must follow the procedure stipulated under the IEPF Rules. The company clarified that no claim will lie against it or its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent regarding the amounts and shares transferred to the IEPF. Investors seeking further information or clarification have been advised to contact the company's officials.
