Lords Chloro Alkali has scheduled its 47th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 11, 2026, at its registered office in Alwar, Rajasthan. The meeting will convene to transact ordinary business, including the adoption of audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, and several special resolutions concerning governance and capital structure.

The company reported a net profit of ₹2,848.67 lakh for FY26, a significant increase from ₹618.06 lakh in the previous year. Revenue from operations stood at ₹39,013.70 lakh, up from ₹27,022.23 lakh in FY25. The Board of Directors did not declare any dividend for the year.

Key Resolutions

Shareholders will vote on multiple special resolutions aimed at aligning management compensation with performance and securing funding for expansion. Key proposals include:

• Director Remuneration: Approval for fixed remuneration of ₹2.40 crore per annum for Managing Director Ajay Virmani and Whole Time Director Madhav Dhir, effective April 1, 2027. Both roles include incentives linked to Earnings Before Depreciation and Taxes (EBDT).
• Borrowing Limits: An increase in the borrowing limit under Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013, allowing the company to borrow up to ₹500 crore in excess of paid-up capital and free reserves. This facility is intended to support ongoing capacity expansions and working capital needs.
• Employee Stock Options: Implementation of the Lords Chloro Alkali Employee Stock Option Scheme - 2026, authorizing the grant of up to 10 lakh options to eligible employees and directors.

Governance and Audits

The AGM will also see the reappointment of M/s. Nemani Garg Agarwal & Co. as statutory auditors for a second term of five years, concluding in 2031. Additionally, Ms. Srishti Dhir will retire by rotation and offer herself for reappointment as a director.

What the Numbers Show

The company’s financial performance in FY26 reflects strong operational leverage. While revenue grew by approximately 44%, net profit surged nearly fourfold to ₹2,848.67 lakh. This divergence suggests improved margin dynamics or cost efficiencies, supported by the board’s report citing higher operational efficiency and savings in power costs due to renewable energy investments. The proposed increase in borrowing limits to ₹500 crore signals continued aggressive capital expenditure plans, likely tied to the mentioned caustic soda and solar capacity expansions.

Meeting Logistics

The register of members will remain closed from September 5 to September 11, 2026. The cut-off date for determining voting eligibility is September 4, 2026. Remote e-voting will be available from September 7 to September 10, 2026, through the NSDL e-voting system.

Lords Chloro Alkali Limited reported a record-breaking start to FY27, with net profit after tax (PAT) surging 43.1% year-on-year to ₹14.96 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The robust performance was driven by a 6.1% increase in total income to ₹106.57 crore and significant expansion in operating margins, marking the highest-ever quarterly earnings for the chloro-alkali manufacturer. Improved product realizations, particularly in Caustic Soda Lye and Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (CPW), combined with disciplined cost management and lower power costs due to renewable energy integration, underpinned the strong financial outcome.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results during its meeting held on July 27, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 and 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Nemani Garg Agarwal & Co., the statutory auditors, issued a limited review report on the unaudited standalone financial results. In addition to the results, the Board approved several strategic initiatives, including a new Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOP) for 10 lakh equity shares, an increase in the borrowing limit to ₹500 crore, and the re-appointment of Deepak Mathur as Whole Time Director. The company also announced a change in its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA) from Alankit Assignment Ltd to Beetal Financial & Computer Services(P) Limited.

Financial Performance Highlights

Total income rose to ₹106.57 crore in Q1FY27 from ₹100.47 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. EBITDA (including other income) grew by 10.4% to ₹22.83 crore, up from ₹20.68 crore in Q1FY26, reflecting an EBITDA margin expansion to 21.42% from 20.59%. Profit before tax stood at ₹16.29 crore, while tax expenses were contained at ₹1.33 crore, contributing to the sharp rise in bottom-line profits. For the full year FY26, the company reported a PAT of ₹28.49 crore, a 360.9% increase from ₹6.18 crore in FY25.

Strategic Initiatives and Governance

The Board approved the Lords Chloro Alkali Employee Stock Option Scheme – 2026, allowing for the grant of up to 10,00,000 options convertible into equity shares with a face value of ₹10 each. The scheme will be administered by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and implemented through fresh allotment. Additionally, the Board sought shareholder approval to increase the managerial remuneration limit and the overall borrowing limit to ₹500 crore under Section 180(1)(C) of the Companies Act, 2013. It also approved the creation or modification of mortgage charges over company properties up to ₹500 crore.

The Board further approved the remuneration for Managing Director Ajay Virmani and Whole Time Director Madhav Dhir effective April 1, 2027, subject to member approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM is scheduled for September 11, 2026.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth (6.1%) and the sharper rise in PAT (43.1%) highlights significant operational leverage for Lords Chloro Alkali. While the volume of Caustic Soda Lye (CSL) declined slightly by 7.0% to 19,953 MT in Q1FY27 compared to 21,462 MT in Q1FY26, higher realizations more than compensated for the volume drop. The expansion in EBITDA margin to 21.42%, driven by better operating efficiencies and lower finance costs, indicates that the company is successfully passing on cost pressures or benefiting from favorable market pricing dynamics. The aggressive push into renewable energy is expected to further stabilize margins against volatile grid electricity rates.
