Panther Industrial Products Limited has closed its trading window for designated persons and their immediate relatives effective October 1, 2026. This restriction is in place in anticipation of the company's un-audited financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026.

Regulatory Compliance and Timeline

The closure adheres to the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, as amended, along with the company's internal Code of Conduct for Prevention of Insider Trading. The trading window will remain closed until forty-eight hours after the declaration of the said financial results.

Board Meeting Details

The date for the Board meeting to consider and declare the Q2FY27 results has not yet been finalized. The company stated that this information will be communicated in due course. The filing was signed by Pooja Jain, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, on September 26, 2026.

Panther Industrial Products has scheduled its 38th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Wednesday, September 30, 2026. The meeting will commence at 11:00 am Indian Standard Time and will be conducted exclusively through Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means. The company reported a net loss of ₹23.06 lakh for FY26, down from ₹45.77 lakh in the previous year, with no operational revenue generated.

The company published the public notice in The Times of India and Nav Bharat newspapers on September 9, 2026. This disclosure aligns with Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and Ministry of Corporate Affairs Circular No. 20/2020 dated May 5, 2020. The Notice of the 38th AGM was dated September 4, 2026.

Financial Performance and Auditor Change

For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, Panther Industrial recorded total income of ₹10,929, comprising solely of other income, as revenue from operations was nil. Total expenses stood at ₹23.17 lakh, driven primarily by other expenses of ₹21.90 lakh and depreciation of ₹1.27 lakh. Consequently, the net loss narrowed by nearly half compared to FY25.

A significant corporate governance development involves the change in statutory auditors. M/s Rajesh H. Gupta & Co., appointed for a five-year term starting in September 2025, resigned effective August 13, 2026, citing no concerns or issues. The Board has proposed the appointment of M/s R P M G and Associates as statutory auditors to fill the casual vacancy from September 4, 2026, until the conclusion of the AGM, followed by a full five-year term until the 43rd AGM in 2031.

Strategic Developments and Balance Sheet Signals

The Directors' Report discloses that the Board approved a Scheme of Amalgamation on April 8, 2026, under which Panther Industrial is proposed to be amalgamated with Shivang Edibles Oils Limited. The company is currently completing the necessary statutory and regulatory formalities for this transaction.

On the balance sheet, trade receivables decreased significantly from ₹8.48 crore in FY25 to ₹111.40 lakh in FY26. These receivables are due from NH Securities Ltd, an associate company under the same management. The auditor noted that while the management is confident of recovery, no provision has been made despite huge losses and uncertainty in business operations. Additionally, borrowings were reduced from ₹7.42 crore to ₹23.20 lakh, primarily reflecting a reduction in inter-corporate deposits from related parties.

Meeting Logistics and Compliance

In adherence to MCA General Circulars Nos. 14/2020, 17/2020, 20/2020, 02/2021, 21/2021, 02/2022, and 11/2022, along with subsequent circulars including No. 09/2024 dated September 19, 2024, the AGM will proceed without physical presence at a common venue. Members can attend and participate solely through the VC/OAVM facility. Attendance via this mode will count toward reckoning the quorum under Section 103 of the Companies Act, 2013.

E-Voting and Document Access

The Annual Report for FY26, alongside the AGM notice, will be dispatched electronically to members with registered email addresses. Remote e-voting facilities will be available from Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 9:00 am to Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at 5:00 pm.
