Financial Performance
Polylink Polymers demonstrated stronger top-line growth in Q1FY26, with revenue from operations increasing to ₹2,326.88 lakh from ₹2,035.62 lakh in Q1FY25. Other operating income declined slightly to ₹17.85 lakh from ₹30.20 lakh in the prior year quarter.

Tax Regime Change and Auditor Appointment
The Board approved the adoption of the concessional tax regime under Section 200 of the Income Tax Act, 2025, effective from the tax year 2026-27. This move reduces the company’s applicable tax rate from 27.82% to 25.17%. As part of this transition, the company remeasured its deferred tax liabilities using the new rate, resulting in a net reversal of ₹9.88 lakh recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the quarter. The company is permitted to carry forward accumulated Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit subject to specific conditions.
Additionally, the Board appointed M/s Ankit Vageriya & Associates, proprietorship firm of CS Ankit Vageriya, as the Secretarial Auditor for five consecutive financial years from FY27 to FY31. This appointment is subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting (AGM). The company has scheduled its 33rd AGM for September 28, 2026, to be conducted via video conference or other audio-visual means (OVAM).
What the Numbers Show
The significant jump in net profit was disproportionately higher than the growth in profit before tax (PBT), which increased by 64.3%. This divergence highlights the material impact of the deferred tax benefit arising from the remeasurement of liabilities due to the lower tax rate. While operational efficiency improved with expenses growing slower than revenue, the tax accounting adjustment played a pivotal role in boosting the bottom line for the quarter.
