Satia Industries Ltd has closed its trading window for designated personnel effective July 1, 2026, to ensure compliance with regulatory norms ahead of its quarterly financial announcement. The closure aligns with the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, as amended, restricting trading activities during the period leading up to the disclosure of financial results.

The restriction will remain in force until the third calendar day following the conclusion of the Board Meeting scheduled to consider the unaudited financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2026. The company stated that the exact date for reopening the trading window will be intimated in due course.

The communication, addressed to the listing departments of BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd, was signed by Rakesh Kumar Dhuria, Company Secretary. The move is a standard procedural measure to prevent insider trading and maintain market integrity during the sensitive period preceding financial results.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net profit stood at ₹58 Mn, a sharp drop of 84% from ₹354 Mn in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, while revenue fell marginally to ₹3,896 Mn.
