Sayaji Hotels Limited has reviewed and amended its insider trading codes to align with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015. The Board of Directors approved these changes during its meeting held on May 28, 2026. The amendments aim to strengthen the regulatory framework governing trading by insiders and ensure fair disclosure of unpublished price sensitive information.

The Board specifically amended two key codes. The first is the Code of Conduct to Regulate, Monitor and Report trading by Insiders. The second is the Code of Practices and Procedures for Fair Disclosure of Unpublished Price Sensitive Information. These updates are part of the company's ongoing compliance efforts under the SEBI regulations.

The updated codes are now available on the company's official website. This move ensures transparency and accessibility for stakeholders and insiders who need to adhere to the revised guidelines. The amendments reflect the company's commitment to maintaining high standards of corporate governance.

The intimation regarding these amendments was submitted to the stock exchanges on May 29, 2026. The company continues to focus on robust compliance mechanisms to safeguard investor interests and uphold market integrity.

Sayaji Hotels Limited reported a net profit of ₹1,108.82 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, supported by exceptional gains arising from the termination of a lease arrangement.

The company recorded an exceptional item of ₹1,111.70 lakh during the year, representing the net effect recognized on the termination or cancellation of the lease arrangement for the Sayaji Raipur hotel property as per Indian Accounting Standard 116. This transaction pertains to a related party. Additionally, the lease arrangement for the Sayaji Baroda Hotel expired on October 31, 2025, after which the company entered into a hotel management agreement with the same owner.
