Kotyark Industries has proposed a final dividend of ₹5 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, signaling confidence in its cash generation capabilities. The payout, amounting to an aggregate of ₹5,13,95,580, is contingent upon approval by shareholders at the company’s 10th Annual General Meeting scheduled for August 22, 2026. Notably, this dividend figure remains fixed despite a previously approved 10:1 bonus share issue; if the bonus shares are allotted before the dividend payment, the per-share payout will be proportionately adjusted to maintain the total aggregate payout unchanged.
The AGM will be conducted via Video Conference or Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM), with remote e-voting facilitated by National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). Voting opens on August 19, 2026, and closes on August 21, 2026. Shareholders holding securities as of the record date, August 14, 2026, are eligible to receive the dividend, which will be paid within 30 days of the meeting’s conclusion.
Beyond the dividend, the Board of Directors has placed several strategic resolutions before shareholders to enhance financial flexibility. These include seeking approval under Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013, to borrow monies up to an aggregate outstanding limit of ₹750 crore. This authorization allows the company to raise funds from banks, financial institutions, or through instruments like debentures and commercial papers, exceeding the aggregate of its paid-up capital and free reserves if necessary.
Additionally, shareholders are asked to approve limits for loans, guarantees, and investments under Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013, up to ₹500 crore. The company also seeks ratification for creating charges, mortgages, or hypothecation on its movable and immovable properties under Section 180(1)(a), secured against borrowings up to the approved ₹750 crore limit.
