Financial Performance and Dividend Proposal

The primary agenda for shareholders is the adoption of standalone and consolidated financial results for the year ended March 31, 2026. Standalone revenue from operations rose to ₹2,706.08 lakhs from ₹2,381.43 lakhs in FY25. More significantly, other income surged to ₹983.10 lakhs, driven by a gain on the sale of investments of ₹853.88 lakhs and fair value gains on investments measured at FVTPL of ₹107.25 lakhs. This non-operational boost propelled standalone profit before tax to ₹1,321.37 lakhs from ₹394.16 lakhs previously.

On a consolidated basis, which includes subsidiary Gujarat Poly Electronics Limited (GPEL), the group reported even sharper growth due to a gain on the sale of property at the subsidiary level. Consolidated other income jumped to ₹3,334.95 lakhs from ₹224.88 lakhs, lifting consolidated net profit after tax to ₹2,984.27 lakhs from ₹384.19 lakhs. The Board has proposed a dividend of ₹20 per equity share of ₹10 face value, representing 200% of face value. If approved, the total dividend outgo will be ₹80,80,900. The record date for this dividend was July 17, 2026.

Subsidiary and Corporate Developments

GPEL, engaged in manufacturing ceramic capacitors, reported a profit after tax of ₹2,802.22 lakhs in FY26, up from ₹214.48 lakhs. Its sales were ₹1,687.30 lakhs against ₹1,778.94 lakhs in the prior year. During the year, GPEL redeemed 9,81,500 ½% Non-Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares held by Polychem on February 25, 2026, at par.
