OCCL Limited will hold its fourth annual general meeting (AGM) on Thursday, August 27, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. (IST) through video conferencing or other audio-visual means (VC/OAVM). The meeting aims to transact business as outlined in the notice convening the AGM, in compliance with the Companies Act, 2013, and relevant circulars issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). This virtual format ensures accessibility for all shareholders while adhering to regulatory guidelines for corporate governance.

The company published advertisements on August 4, 2026, in Business Standard (English – All India Editions) and Sandesh (Gujarati – Bhuj Edition) to notify members of the upcoming meeting. These advertisements also urge shareholders to register or update their email addresses with the company, its Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA), MUGF Intime India Private Limited, or their respective Depository Participants (DPs). This step is crucial for shareholders to receive the AGM notice, the annual report for the financial year 2025-26, and e-voting details electronically.

Meeting Details and E-Voting Procedures

Shareholders can cast their votes through remote e-voting or e-voting during the AGM. Detailed instructions for participating in the meeting via VC/OAVM and the procedures for e-voting will be provided in the official notice of the AGM. Members holding shares in dematerialized mode are advised to register their email addresses and mobile numbers with their depository participants. Those holding shares in physical mode should furnish their contact details to the company at investorfeedback@occlindia.com or its RTA at kolkata@in.mpmis.mugf.com .

Regulatory Compliance and Document Access

In compliance with MCA and SEBI circulars, electronic copies of the AGM notice and the annual report for FY25-26 will be sent only via email to members with registered email addresses. Pursuant to Regulation 36(1)(b) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the company will dispatch a web-link via inland letter to members without registered email addresses, providing access to the complete annual report. The documents will also be available on the company’s website at www.occlindia.com and on the websites of BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited.

Taxation and Dividend Information

The company highlighted that dividend payments are subject to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) as per the Income Tax Act, 2005, amended by the Finance Act, 2026. The applicable tax rate depends on the shareholder’s residential status. To ensure accurate TDS deduction, shareholders must update their PAN, nomination details, contact particulars, mobile number, bank account details, and specimen signature with their DP or RTA before the cut-off date of Thursday, August 20, 2026. A detailed communication regarding withholding tax and necessary annexures will be sent to registered members on July 31, 2026. Applications for claiming nil or lower TDS rates (Form 15G/15H) must be submitted to investorfeedback@occlindia.com on or before August 14, 2026.

OCCL Limited reported a significant surge in profitability for the first quarter of FY26, with net profit jumping 206% year-on-year to ₹40.25 crore. The chemical manufacturer posted revenue from operations of ₹219.67 crore, up 78.5% from ₹123.09 crore in Q1FY25, reflecting robust demand and operational scale-up at its facilities in Gujarat and Haryana. EBITDA rose to ₹61.70 crore from ₹26.30 crore in Q1FY25, with EBITDA margin expanding meaningfully to 28.1% from 21.4%, underscoring improved operational efficiency across the business.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on July 30, 2026, following a review by the Audit Committee. The results were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and reviewed by Statutory Auditors Singhi & Co., who issued a limited review report under Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company operates in a single business segment—chemicals—and does not have reportable segments under Ind AS 108.

Financial Highlights

The following table summarises OCCL's key financial metrics for the quarter:

Revenue growth outpaced expense growth, leading to an expansion in operating margins. Cost of materials consumed rose to ₹140.48 crore from ₹53.68 crore, reflecting higher production volumes. Employee benefits increased modestly to ₹16.03 crore from ₹13.49 crore, while finance costs remained controlled at ₹2.49 crore. Other income contributed ₹1.94 crore, up from ₹0.40 crore in the previous year.

What the Numbers Show

The disproportionate rise in net profit relative to revenue indicates improving operating leverage. While revenue grew 78.5%, total expenses increased by only 59.6%, suggesting that fixed costs are being spread over a larger output base. The EBITDA margin expansion of 670 basis points—from 21.4% to 28.1%—further reinforces this efficiency narrative, reflecting better absorption of fixed overheads and improved cost management. This efficiency gain was further amplified by favorable tax dynamics; the absence of exceptional items in Q1FY26, compared to the impact of Labour Codes in earlier quarters, also contributed to cleaner bottom-line figures.

Key Operational Details

• EBITDA: Stood at ₹61.70 crore versus ₹26.30 crore in Q1FY25, with margin improving to 28.1% from 21.4%.
• Taxation: Total tax expense stood at ₹13.57 crore, comprising ₹9.98 crore in current tax and ₹3.59 crore in deferred tax charge. In contrast, Q1FY25 saw a total tax expense of ₹5.20 crore.
• Comprehensive Income: Total comprehensive income matched net profit at ₹40.25 crore, as there were no other comprehensive income items such as revaluation gains or losses on defined benefit plans.
• Capital Structure: Paid-up equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹9.99 crore (face value ₹2 per share). Other equity excluding revaluation reserve stood at ₹421.28 crore as of March 31, 2026.

The company noted that one entity is considered an associate under Section 2(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, but no subsidiaries or joint ventures exist under Ind AS 28, eliminating the need for consolidated financial results. The results were signed off by Arvind Goenka, Chairman & Managing Director, and Pranab Kumar Maity, Company Secretary & Sr. GM-Legal.
