Key Operational Updates
The Board proposes the re-appointment of Sharad Kumar Jain as Whole-time Director for three years w.e.f. October 1, 2026. Shareholders will also ratify the remuneration of M/s Yogesh Chourasia & Associates as Cost Auditors for FY27. Kailash Chand Sharma retires by rotation and offers himself for re-appointment as Chairman & Managing Director.
The company’s annual capacity remains at 75,000 M.T.P.A. for oilseed crushing and 15,000 M.T.P.A. for edible oil refining. No dividend is recommended for FY26 to retain profits for future purposes.
What the Numbers Show
The profit turnaround occurred despite a 14.1% decline in revenue, indicating significant cost efficiency improvements. Total expenditure fell by 16.0%, outpacing the revenue drop. This divergence suggests operational leverage or reduced input costs contributed more to the bottom line than top-line growth in FY26.
