PDP Shipping & Projects has released its annual report for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, alongside scheduling its 17th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 25, 2026. The meeting will be conducted via Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations grew 27.7% to ₹2,785.08 lakh in FY26, compared to ₹2,181.77 lakh in FY25. Total income, including other income, stood at ₹2,847.38 lakh. However, profit after tax declined 40.4% to ₹125.61 lakh, down from ₹210.72 lakh in the previous year. Earnings per share fell to ₹4.22 from ₹10.18.

Metric FY26 (₹ in Lakh) FY25 (₹ in Lakh) Change
Revenue from Operations 2,785.08 2,181.77 +27.7%
Total Income 2,847.38 2,188.49 +30.1%
Profit After Tax 125.61 210.72 -40.4%
Earnings Per Share 4.22 10.18 -58.6%

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between topline growth and bottomline contraction highlights margin pressure in a competitive logistics environment. While revenue expanded significantly, driven by a major airfreight mandate and sustained sea freight volumes, operating expenses rose faster at ₹2,221.29 lakh against ₹1,561.65 lakh in FY25. Additionally, a one-time gratuity provision of ₹27.49 lakh and higher employee remuneration weighed on profitability. Conversely, the company strengthened its balance sheet by repaying all long-term property loans, closing the year with zero long-term debt.

Dividend and AGM Details

The Board has recommended a final dividend of ₹1 per equity share for FY26, subject to shareholder approval. This marks the first dividend since the company’s listing on the BSE SME platform. Shareholders on record as of September 18, 2026, will be eligible to receive the payout.

Corporate Governance Updates

The AGM will also address the re-appointment of Managing Director Animesh Kumar, who retires by rotation. Additionally, shareholders will vote on a special resolution to revise the remuneration of Whole-time Director Mrs. Shalini Abhiuday Verma. Her monthly remuneration will increase from ₹4 lakh to ₹6 lakh effective October 1, 2025, along with an annual performance bonus equivalent to one month's salary. For FY26, her total remuneration aggregated to ₹64 lakh, including a one-time performance bonus of ₹4 lakh.

Animesh Kumar signed the intimation regarding the AGM schedule in a letter dated August 31, 2026.
