Polychem Limited has scheduled its 69th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at 11:00 A.M. (IST). The meeting will be conducted through Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM), as mandated by regulatory guidelines. In a disclosure filed with the Bombay Stock Exchange on July 30, 2026, the company emphasized the importance of shareholders updating their Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Know Your Customer (KYC) details to ensure seamless access to corporate communications.

The notification was issued pursuant to Regulation 36(1)(b) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This regulation requires listed entities to provide web-links to annual reports for members who have not registered their email addresses with the company, depositories, or the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA). Polychem’s compliance team sent letters containing the web-link to the Annual Report for FY26 to shareholders identified as having unregistered email addresses as of the cut-off date of July 17, 2026.

Digital Transition and Shareholder Action

The company is actively encouraging a "Green Initiative" by shifting towards digital communication. Shareholders holding shares electronically are requested to update their email addresses through their Depository Participants. Those holding physical shares or needing direct assistance can contact the RTA, MUFG Intime India Private Limited (formerly Link Intime India Private Limited).

Failure to update contact information may result in shareholders missing critical updates, including dividend intimation and future meeting notices. The company noted that maintaining accurate records is essential for receiving all important documents thereafter.

Accessing Corporate Documents

The complete Annual Report for FY26 and the Notice of the AGM are available on Polychem’s official website at www.polychemltd.com . The specific path for accessing the report is provided in the investor relations section. Additionally, the AGM notice is accessible on the website of NSDL, which serves as the agency for providing e-voting facilities. Investors can also view the notice on the BSE Limited website.

What This Means for Investors

The shift to digital-only communication for non-registered shareholders underscores a broader industry trend towards paperless governance. For Polychem investors, the immediate action required is to verify if their email addresses are registered with their depository participants or the RTA. This ensures they receive the FY26 Annual Report directly and can participate effectively in the upcoming AGM via the VC/OAVM platform. The company secretary, Deepali V. Chauhan, signed the disclosure, confirming the procedural compliance with SEBI norms.

Polychem Limited will hold its 69th Annual General Meeting on August 25, 2026, to adopt audited financial statements for FY26 that report a tripling of standalone net profit to ₹1,014.09 lakhs and propose a final dividend of ₹20 per equity share. The Mumbai-based specialty chemicals manufacturer, which also operates in electronic components through its subsidiary, filed its annual report with the Bombay Stock Exchange on July 30, 2026. The meeting will be conducted via video conference or other audio-visual means (OAVM), with the deemed venue at the company’s registered office in Churchgate, Mumbai.

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.

The AGM will also see the re-appointment of Mr. N. T. Kilachand as a director, who retires by rotation. He holds a B.A. from Tufts University and brings expertise in logistics and distribution. Mr. P. T. Kilachand was earlier re-appointed as Managing Director for three years effective April 1, 2026, via postal ballot. Ms. Ragini Chokshi & Co. serves as the secretarial auditor for five years from FY26, while M/s. Nayan Parikh & Co. continues as statutory auditor.
